From the Filing Cabinet:
Conservatives are more happy than liberals.
It basically boils down to this:
Conservatives are happy because they believe their hard work ethic and responsibility are the determinants of their outcomes and futures. If you work hard and do the right thing, good things will come. More conservatives are also married and religious.
Liberals see themselves as victims of the world around them. Nothing is their fault- it's all the sytem, man. So they sit at home in their mothers' basements blogging away about their collective (pun, intended) misery and posting vapid comments on nutroots message boards. So they're unhappy and deranged- that probably explains why more of them aren't married.
