Thought this was interesting.

Weaker men more likely to support welfare state and wealth redistribution
Link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in our ancestors
Strength was a proxy for ability to defend or acquire resources
There is no link between women's physical strength and political views

Full article at link. Worth a read since I think its generally true.

Chuck Norris. End of story.

Interesting theory, and not entirely untrue.

I suppose, though, that when one holds liberal views, and smokes a lot of pot, and does nothing productive, they likely won't gain much upper body strength.

And since we're turning into a population of obese people that hardly do any kind of manual labor or exercise, looks like the progressive agenda is going to steamroll ahead.

As it was written and the conclusions drawn from the study are, basically, horse apples. Mountain Man was on a roll when the responses were shut down.

Bull hokey! I am a pansy, gay, and don't like getting my hands dirty. However I am crafty and reliable in a pinch.

So no I am by no means a macho muscle bound manly man, but I am right wing. But then I have never been an easy man to read, or as my doctor put it when I gave him a grin "you never can tell what he's thinking".

Funny, since the biggest powerlifters I know are all left wing liberals (gay men of the "bear subculture"). Come to think of it, the physical labor guys, the union guys, all physically strong, all left wing liberal. Sounds like a bullshit study to me with "hundreds" from 3 different countries.

I don't think being PHYSICALLY STRONG means you're more likely to be a Right-Winger.

I think it's MENTALLY STRONG! And I don't mean SMART either!

When you have the mentality that you can do things for yourself, overcome most obstacles without qualms, and generally provide the things you need to succeed, THAT is mental strength.

Another thing that I think makes you mentally strong? Not being satisified with complacency. People who do not try to better themselves, but just stay at the "Status Quo", you're cheating yourself.

Nah. This study will be embraced by the liberals. They will use it to declare all conservatives muscle-bound pea-brained Neanderthals. Dang! I'm scaring myself. I've been exposed to so much left-wing spin I'm beginning to be able to anticipate (but never, ever believe) it.

There goes that theory.
