Why are conservatives happier than liberals?

So, now you can see my posts?

I've sort of imagined that grunt, snort, hack, and drool about covers what you accomplish each and every day of your life. Not that that is a bad thing, just your thing. Oh, and perhaps a lot of knuckle-dragging.

I do hope that you continue spending a lot of time posting unprepossessing thoughts here, at least you are not out there scary normal citizens.

I think most conservatives are happy because they have faith. I am speaking of not only the religious variety, but primarily a faith in self. The conservative sees himself in an active and dynamic role in his/her own future, while the liberal looks elsewhere (government, usually) for change/improvement. Experience tells me that if you rely on a large bureaucracy of any kind to improve something you're going to waiting a long, long, long time for results and that in and of itself has to be incredibly depressing. Conservatives also seem to have a more realistic viewpoint about the external forces. We see a disaster like Myanmar and see that it is horrible, but out of our control. Liberals see it as some sort of duty to save them ( the affected populace)from themselves (the junta), hence setting themselves up for disappointment. Oh, and it will ALL somehow be America's fault.
'White guilt' taken to the nth level.
