Feel-Good Headline of the Day: Conservative Extremists are Extremely Happy

Conservatives are happier than liberals, and conservative extremists are the happiest people of all:

...conservative Republicans were 68 percent more likely than liberal Democrats to say they were “very happy” about their lives. This pattern has persisted for decades.

....the happiest Americans are those who say they are either “extremely conservative” (48 percent very happy) or “extremely liberal” (35 percent). Everyone else is less happy, with the nadir at dead-center “moderate” (26 percent).

...Whatever the explanation, the implications are striking. The Occupy Wall Street protesters may have looked like a miserable mess. In truth, they were probably happier than the moderates making fun of them from the offices above. And none, it seems, are happier than the Tea Partiers, many of whom cling to guns and faith with great tenacity. Which some moderately liberal readers of this newspaper might find quite depressing.

Emphasis added.

Read the rest. Liberals aren't going to be happy with the explanation.

Team Obama vs. Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists

On My.BarackObama.com (Obama's "Organizing For America" headquarters), Team BO is declaring war on terrorism. On 9/11, O-heads all over the country will take a stand against the forces of evil by flooding the switchboards on Capitol Hill:

All 50 States are coordinating in this – as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped to a frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders.

...because the conservative opposition is a man-made disaster waiting to happen!

More from MyBarackObama:

"ON ONE DAY you 'burn-up' the Senate Switchboards - THE NEXT DAY you've got the Senator's attention." We will achieve that effect, on Friday, Patriot Day 9/11.

Whoa...burning up the switchboards? That sounds very disruptive and very un-American! Don't forget what Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) recently said:

...[F]looding the switchboards on Capitol Hill...doesn’t prove much other than the switchboards have limited capacity, so we want to have a balanced approach that allows members of Congress to hear both sides of the story, rather than be sucker-punched, or sidetracked by these tactics.

I suppose a frenzy is un-American only if it whipped up by the Right Wing, and "sucker-punch" tactics are tantamount to terrorism only when Demokrats are being embarrassed.
