that bit about liberals was complete b f'n s. when ever someone is reacting subconsciously, and liberals are more than adept at that! the acc is not active. any political leaning can become subconscious, especially on certain topics. I have seen more than a good share of amygdaloid and shrill liberals over the past few months, with nothing in the way of 'harder thing' effort on their part..
frontal polar cortex (broadman's 10 & 11) are acc like too.
If you ask someone with a certain bent, be it left or right, a 'hot button' question likely to elicit a strong amygdala reaction, then acc is only going to get active if the person has a need to mitigate or modify first impulse. Brain regions dont have politcal loyalties, large networks of consciousness do. Its easy to get an amyg. w/out acc response; ask a liberal a question about 'corporate greed' or ask a conservative about late term abortion!
Also, the prefrontal cortex is typically considered any neocortex that lies anterior to the precentral gyrus (motor cortex), so, the anterior cingulate is actually part of the PFC! We are still not safe.
