Seriously though, regarding the OP - does it surprise you?
I would prefer a study on locus of control by political view, but this is similar.
People with an internal locus of control believe that their own actions are the biggest determinant of outcomes in their life.
People with an external locus of control believe that outside forces are the biggest determinant of outcomes in their life.
Doesn't the first seem to go more with conservatives, and the second with liberals?
Perhaps stated this way, rather than in terms of more/less self-control, it's not controversial and makes sense to people.
AGAIN if you think conservatives are the cure all, then move to Saudi Arabia or Iran, they are even more conservative than you.
OTHERWISE, go fly a kite. we could give a shit less if you don't like our positions. We are not a theocracy and one class doesn't get to write all of our laws for us.
