I do believe, however, that both ideologies appeal to general trends in personality. We all follow beliefs to their logical (or illogical) ends, so it makes sense that the stereotype would mostly (not always) hold true.

Something interesting that I realized when I was contemplating why people would want to reward win and lose the same was that, as a culture, we are afraid of feelings. For the most part we seem incapable or unwilling to deal with anger, sadness, frustration, and even often happiness and joy. To avoid having to deal with these emotions and develop self esteem naturally we teach kids how to get around the whole ugly mess–which is consequently, our lives.

I think it’s a notion fostered by parents, actually, and might not be politically motivated at all. Some people just think that teaching a little kid to enjoy sports might help him or her later in life, and that there is plenty of time and opportunity for development of excellence.

I had my son in baseball starting when he was in diapers. He hated it. I had to drag him out there. He always got stuck in the outfield picking daisies. He got constantly yelled at by the coaches, even though there was nothing out there but grass to pick and he had fun picking it. He was a good hitter, though. And you know what? I’m hoping it keeps him off drugs when he’s a teen. Life isn’t all about winning a game.

And how many of the very best of the best kids will have a career in professional sports? And how many kids have sports helped where the kids didn’t stand a snow-ball’s chance in even high school competition? We don’t know unless we give all the kids a chance to play. And we can’t do that unless they have fun in the process. It’s just common sense. Rewarding positive behavior is not a liberal concept. It’s a conservative one. Kids getting outside and playing, instead of sitting in front of the tube is a positive concept.

We give all the little kids trophies. They earn them just for putting up with the coaches and the coaches’ kids. And these trophies are bought and paid for by the parents who pay the fees so their kids can play these sports, so who should decide this? The people paying, that’s who.

And if you’re still not convinced, how about the trophies are really for the parents?

And if you’re still not convinced <cough, conservative males, cough> do recall that God also created mothers.

Eh, my son prefers snow-boarding anyway. He thinks your trophies are for attention-seeking hogs who cannot just enjoy some good fun. lol

Now, we have graduation ceremonies for five year olds, then elementary school. So what? Graduation from high school is just another graduation now.

I agree that it’s okay to fail, and sometimes one has to fail. It’s the only way to learn, and there’s really nothing wrong with failing– if one learns a lesson from it. It’s a necessary part of life and something we will deal with one way or another, unless we stay home and never try or do anything.

As to your question, liberals more likely support the idea. They tend to emphasize collective action and responsibility to a greater degree than conservatives, and individualism to a lesser degree. Liberal ideas do have some merit.
