==It's in the "genes"==
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>httphttps://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>
His paper followed previous ones in which he claimed [[voter]] turnout was determined by two genes<ref>http://jhfowler.ucsd.edu/two_genes_predict_voter_turnout.pdf</ref> and altruism;<ref>http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-2508.2006.00453.x/full</ref> all of which appeared in the ''Journal of Politics'' instead of a typical scientific journal. If such a "gene" is true, then it explains many traits of liberal behavior with regards to stupidity, some of which is detailed in the following topics:
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>https://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> And during this expedition, even after being trapped in an ice field which clearly grew, Turney insisted the ice was melting.<ref>httphttps://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/12/30/stuck-in-our-own-experiment-leader-trapped-team-insists-polar-ice-is-melting/</ref>
Second is the allegation that Turney may have hoped to profit from [[global warming]] and the [[hysteria]] that goes with it. Turney founded the company "Carbonscape",<ref>http://carbonscape.com/</ref><ref>http://iceagenow.info/2013/12/professor-trapped-antarctic-ice-trying-rich-agw-hysteria/</ref><ref>http://au.linkedin.com/pub/chris-turney/25/8a1/926</ref> which creates activated carbon from waste materials, such as sawdust. Despite this, neither MV ''Akademik Shokalskiy'', nor the rescue ships, nor the helicopters and search aircraft, used anything other than normal, carbon-based [[diesel]] or other fuel to generate power.

====Sequestration====
In 2011, liberal [[Democrat]]s voted for [[sequestration]] with the belief that it would be so intolerable that [[conservative]] [[budget]]-cutters would never allow it to take effect. Again, in the December 2012 budget deal, President [[Obama]] and liberal Democrats did not agree to other spending cuts sought by conservatives because they could not believe that conservatives would allow sequestration take effect, although the deal postponed sequestration for two months.<ref>{{cite web |title=Statement by the Press Secretary |url=httphttps://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/02/14/statement-press-secretary |date=February 14, 2013 |publisher=[[The White House]] |accessdate=September 3, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=There are now four big plans to stop the sequester |last=Plumer |first=Brad |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/02/14/there-are-now-four-plans-to-stop-the-sequester/?wprss=rss_ezra-klein |date=February 14, 2013 |publisher=[[Washington Post]] |accessdate=September 3, 2013}}</ref> Sequestration has now been in effect since March 2013.

====Mike Moran====
Democratic State Representative [[Mike Moran]] of Brighton, [[Massachusetts]] was involved in a collision on May 21, 2010 with an [[illegal alien]] and was seriously injured. The suspect, 27-year-old Isaias Naranjo, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, driving without a license, and driving drunk; he had a blood alcohol level of .25, and reportedly laughed when the charges were read to him.<ref>http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/politics/local_politics/state-rep-in-accident-with-suspected-illegal-immigrant-20100521</ref><ref>httphttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/24/car-crash-involving-mass-lawmaker-suspected-illegal-immigrant-heats-debate/</ref><ref>http://americanpowerblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/ma-state-rep-mike-moran-tax-spend.html</ref>
Moran voted YES to several bills seen as "pro-illegal immigrant" in Massachusetts,<ref>http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=15237</ref> including to vote to "delay indefinitely" a proposal to "require the state to verify that anyone over 18 who applies for state benefits is legally in Massachusetts" <ref>http://www.wickedlocal.com/allston/town_info/government/x1406500748/Beacon-Hill-Roll-Call-Legislature-approves-state-budget-rejects-tax-cuts</ref>

====Nick McDermott====
The reporter at [[CBS]] affiliate KTVA in [[Alaska]] left a message in late October, 2010 with staffers of [[Republican]] Senate candidate [[Joe Miller]], "hoping" for an interview. Apparently not familiar with the operation of his [[iPhone]] - namely the "on/off" button - he left it on, allowing Miller's spokesperson, Randy DeSoto, to leave a full transcript of a plot to insert a convicted child molester, or, failing that, create an incident of violence, inside of a Miller rally.<ref>https://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=221973</ref><ref>httphttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/10/31/miller-campaign-claims-tape-shows-reporters-trying-connect-child-molesters/</ref>
