First, I must disagree with CarolC. The article in question was released by an official university source and, as such, I can't believe it wasn't checked by the authors of the study.

Scenond, When you replace the emotional terms in the report with neutral ones (pick whatever you like, as long as it fits), the report isn't much different from what I learned in high school in the early '60's. ie. Conservatives are more concerned with property rights than liberals are. Conservatives want to use old methods of problem solving and liberals want to experiment to find something better.

I think the religious element is a fairly recent overlay and should be considered as a thing in itself for the nonce.

In other words, I don't think there's anything truly new here.
