"[...] the graph shows that Republicans don't trust government less than Democrats do, historically. The real difference is that Republicans are more sensitive to who controls the White House. When their man is in, they trust government more than Democrats do. When their man is out, they trust it less. Democrats hold steadier; they seem to identify 'government' less with the presidency than Republicans do." -- Jonathan Haidt and Marc J. Hetherington, 2012-09-17 in The New York Times [linked to by somebody on either my LJ or DW friendslist/reading page, a few days ago, but I've forgotten who]

That implies so much about the conservative mentality and its reliance on perceived authority.

Hmm. Blogspam 'bots are getting better. :-( This one managed to match the text to the topic somewhat (not quite, but enough to make me blink). But the keysmash subject header and the text obviously having been written many months earlier based on the verb tenses referring to the ACA (probably swiped from some random person's real blog) gave away the spam-post-testing nature of the comment.

I've really got better things to do with my time than pass spammers along to the DW anti-spam team (by way of delete-as-spam tickybox) but it looks like it's my turn again this week, already. The other three so far today haven't been half as clever.
