Researchers under James H. Fowler, professor of medical [[genetics]] and [[political science]] at the [[University of California]], [[San Diego]], claim to have discovered a "liberal gene" (DRD4) associated with [[DNA]] in certain individuals.  Fowler's research centered on [[dopamine]], which is a [[neurotransmitter]] that affects many processes and controls over the [[brain]], including movement, emotions, pleasure, and pain; he further claims in his paper that it's heritable, meaning it can be passed on from generation to generation, depending on social norms and environments.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/10/28/researchers-liberal-gene-genetics-politics/</ref><ref>http://american3p.org/establishment-news/new-research-confirms-that-behavior-is-genetic/</ref>

[[America]] and [[American values]] are disrespected and threatened everywhere in the country by rampant liberalism, which is symbolized as a whole by what they do to the [[Flag of the United States of America|flag]].  From displaying it pinned upside-down on jackets or using it as a "walk-on" in art displays, liberals have repeatedly insulted America by their contempt of this highest of American symbols.  Some examples include:

Professor Chris Turney of the University of New South Wales, [[Australia]]<ref>http://www.christurney.com/</ref> set sail for eastern [[Antartica]] on December 8, 2013 onboard MV ''Akademik Shokalskiy'', a research vessel that was used on this expedition to study Antarctic [[climate change]].  The vessel, with 74 people (including additional scientists, journalists, and crew) became stuck in pack ice on Dec. 24, several miles from shore, approximately 100 nautical miles due east from the French research station Dumont d'Urville.  By January 2, 2014, with the ice more than ten feet thick and several ice-breaking ships prevented from freeing the vessel, it was determined to evacuate all passengers by helicopter, leaving 22 crew members behind to tend ''Akademik Shokalskiy'' and hope she is freed<ref>http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/02/us-antarctica-ship-rescue-idUSBREA000JX20140102</ref>.

Buried in the main stream news reports about the incident are a couple key facts.  First and foremost is Turney's choice to go to Antarctica in the summer months when ice sheets retreat and break apart; like the Arctic in summertime, liberals choose this season to advertise the perils of [[global warming]], despite a growing amount of evidence that the Antarctic ice sheet was expanding over the years<ref>http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/12/28/australian-climate-change-professor-chris-turney-of-u-of-new-south-wales-who-warned-about-melting-east-antarctic-remains-trapped-in-thick-ice/</ref>.

As to MV ''Akademik Shokalskiy'', the ice sheets surrounding Antarctica have a historical reputation of crushing ice-bound vessels.

On April 27, 2010 [[Gordon Brown]], prime minister of the [[United Kingdom]], was confronted by an elderly Gillian Duffy, 65, and a life-long member of the [[Labour Party]].  Her question had to do with the massive influx of immigrants to her hometown of Rochdale, the high [[tax]]ation, the massive British [[national debt]], her disappointment in her party, and she wanted answers as to why.  After the standard liberal answers, Brown got into his car and - ''forgetting he had a microphone on, which was still recording'' - talked to his aide: ''"That was a disaster...should never have put me with that woman.
