Conservatives More Likely To Be Psychopaths

Last year Marcus Arvan, of the University of Tampa
 Came under fire when he showcased his theory in another paper. Now he has returned with even more data which, he insists, shows that socially conservative views are statistically linked to three anti-social personality traits: 
Machiavellianism (deception) 
Narcissism (overinflated sense of self-worth) 
and Psychopathy (absence of guilt or remorse).

The Citrus Taliban Attacks The Broward County School District

A Broward County 
Boy said he was banned from reading 
"The Good Book" 
during free-reading time in school. The boy and his father have hired an attorney, 
calling this a violation of the boy's Constitutional rights.  
Fact: The student was reading his Bible during a "classroom 'accelerated reading' program," 
not during a free-reading session.

 The boy's family is being represented by the Liberty Institute, a "conservative religious-rights group" The Liberty Institute has a "long history of hyperbolic assertions about the impending end of religious freedom."....more

Elisabeth Hasselbeck has noted that the boy and his father would be on Fox and Friends.

Broward County Public Schools respects and upholds the rights of students to bring personal religious materials to school, including the Bible, and to read these items before school, after school or during any "free reading" time during the school day.

Perry Thurston for Florida Attorney General

FOR ALL FLORIDIANS
The only way to change Tallahassee is to change the people we send. Rick Scott, Pam Bondi, and the Republican legislature spent the legislative session waging ideological crusades and short changing Florida's middle class. It is wrong when we cut taxes for corporations but don't raise the minimum wage. It is wrong when we get between a woman and her doctor but don't expand access to Medicaid. And it's wrong when we spend public dollars on private schools while cutting scholarships for our students.
We have to change it. But I need your help.
