''You sort of have to hand it to the liberals in that they just keep pushing with their R side emotional fuel. Not all their ideas are logical, but the emotions causes the tide to turn. It is sort of the party that keeps emotionally pushing for change and slowly chips away.''

This is definitely one of liberalism's big problems. They have to continue inventing the wheel at great cost to the citizens. There is a constant social
experiment being conducted that is frustrating and expensive. Our school system is an excellent example. Washington D C spends about $17,000. per year per student and yields a product that can neither read nor write at the level of kids from other schools that spend less than $15,000. This has been the case for many years and they can't figure out what to do about it. Why could they not study the successful schools and follow their lead? The reason is that R-brainers cannot easily understand cause and effect. The same thing with taxes. The liberals cannot grasp the fact that lower taxes allow people more money in their pockets which they can spend to keep our economy moving or to create small businesses. They constantly talk about ''change''.
What would they like to change? Do they want more taxes to pay for social
experiments? Do thay want more liberal judges? Do they want a socialistic society which have proved to be failures?
In my social encounters with R-brainers, I have perceived certain traits:
1. They do not understand cause and effect.
2. They do not easily change their minds when presented with facts when the facts are contrary to their beliefs.
3. They are generally ego centric.
4. It is difficult for them to have a discussion without shouting.
5. They live in the now- lessons learned by experience of others or history
does not impact their thinking.
6. It is difficult for them to verbalize a sensible solution to a complex problem.
Some may say this is generalization, but I would point you to the current political candidates to see if you can see these traits for yourself.
The bottom line to this dicussion is that it would seem that the best leader would be someone who is rational, able to understand the future effects of his actions, able to calmy discuss options and has the best interest of the country at heart.
