Yeah, most conservatives graduated from Budweiser U!

13 Every few months it seems that the left comes out with a crap study like this. It's very important for them that they"prove"  that "conservatives are dumb" or "FOX viewers are uninformed" or etc. It's one of the ways they reassure each other of their own goodness and virtue.

Wait.  What?  You mean it isn't?  Iran and Hugo Chavez just want to be our friends?

15 Grrr. .....Now, isn't this another Alinsky tactic? ...."Label the enemy" or "Keep them in a state of feeling defeated". .....It's been a while since I read Alinsky.

24 This "study" gets released every few years, coincidentally before a presidential election.

25 If you want to really laugh notice whose posting on the comment section of that article Our old racist friend Kilgore Trout

26 You can make the results stand up and bark like a dog just by the assumptions you make about the correct, i.e. not-prejudiced, answer.

From the article: Social conservatives were defined as people who agreed with a laundry list of statements such as "Family life suffers if mum is working full-time," and "Schools should teach children to obey authority."

Well, why is it untrue that family life suffers without a parent at home during the day?
Why is it wrong that schools should teach children to obey authority? 

27 a right-wing ideology where 'People I don't know are threats' and 'The world is a dangerous place'. ...  Another simple way would be to just assume everybody is wonderful."

------------------


LOL.  History has given this test before.  Many times.


The whole "people I don't know are threats" thing is beyond ridiculous.  What they mean to say is "I like my culture and prefer it to others ... otherwise I would just adopt the one I liked better" combined with knowledge that the whole world is not like the West, but with just different names.  (And even the West has moved to kill itself a couple of times in the last 100 years)

28
The democrat party is wholly responsible for stamping out the evils of racism, and more specifically, the Klu Klux Klan.

33 Oh, geez.  Not this again.

Okay, liberals, we get it.  We're stupid.

So we'll be over here making lots of money- and counting it- while you sit over there poor but superior and using "new math" to explain why you don't understand the big numbers we're using to count our money.  Mmmkay?

38 Liberals abuse the meaning of words, abuse the scientific method, and abuse the process of education. It's SCIENCE! (That's another word they abuse). Tell me something, study authors - is it possible, given your premises, that your "study" could have come to any other conclusion? Is it falsifiable? Also, are those premises simply based on your own ideology? I think we know the answers to these questions. Why are liberals anti-science?

39 There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

I think it's pretty racist  to cast Hank "Guam might tip over and capsize" Johnson as giving in to racism and prejudice.

40 Just yesterday I stopped using Yahoo as my home/start page. I couldn't take the bias any longer.

41 OT: Any of you morons into Scandi Noir? I just got turned on to it. I watched The Farfegnugen, which is Danish for The Killing. They was an American remake but the Scandi one was much better. The Danish and Swedish ones are the most popular. I refuse to watch anything Norwegian. That's going to fucking far... Anyway, I am sure some of you will accuse of going to the dark side, but, what the hey. For countries who are always whining how peaceful they are, they sure are into crime and murder.

Remember that "study" which said kids watching Spongebob made them stupid?  We all laughed, because it was done by some whackjob with a mission, and it had no credibility as a scientific study.

Well nowadays I hear people quoting it like Spongebob (the actual show, not what it represents) is causing stupid kids! 

The point is, these people have figured out that science doesn't have to get bogged down with all that sciency stuff like controlling for variables and statistical analysis that is actually supported by the data... or even real data at all!  Heck, it's the new superstitious rubbish, meaning we've come full circle. 

Oh well, I'm sure my opinion here is just another indication that I'm a conservative simpleton. 

48 >>>This "study" gets released every few years, coincidentally before a presidential election. it's like 3 or 4 times a year now.

49 After 8 years teaching engineering at several colleges for the rich and stupid, I agree with Schwalbe...The bright kids learn hard science and tend conservative.  The not-so-bright go for soft studies and tend progressive.

...and they paid me more than the College President to get me to teach there.  Didn't that piss off the soft studies Instructors.

Good times.  Good money and lots of musty liberal wrinkle-bags to harass.

Must be why our country is so behind in Math, Science, and Engineering, huh?   After all, we ARE a center-right-leaning country......

Polling data and social and political science research do show that prejudice is more common in those who hold right-wing ideals that those of other political persuasions, Nosek told LiveScience.

Prejudice? Like what? I'm partial to chocolate ice cream. I guess that makes my IQ lower?

53 The study states: "Prejudice is extremely complex and multifaceted"

So I get no credit for mastering it with such facility?
I thought that these people were all about fairness.


Next up, this same psychologist is going to do a study on the societal implications of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Wait - you can read? You're sure you're not a liberal? I'm conservative, so I just look at the pictures.

55 It won't be long until I see links to this story on Facebook. I shall unfriend all who do so. My friends list needs culling.

56 it's like 3 or 4 times a year now.

Of course it is, ace: their wunderkid is failing miserably and they have to convince people (like the proverbial Emperor's Court) that it's not that he's failing- he succeeding wonderfully- but only smart people can tell.  You don't want to admit you're not smart, do you?

57 These studies always remind me of religious zealotry, like a medieval monk "studying" Jews and their Christ-Killing, baby blood stealing ways. Sure, he doesn't actually know or study any Jews but he has heard all about them and seen them with their crooked noses and shifty eyes in the city. Its just bigotry cloaked in a thin veil of scientific respectability. They start with such an absurd, ignorant, hateful position they can't even consider an objective study.

58 "40 Just yesterday I stopped using Yahoo as my home/start page. I couldn't take the bias any longer."

Yeah, my email is on Yahoo, and when they started adding "news" to the page (around the time of the 2004 election year) I immediately flipped it to "sports" and never read their news again.

(No offense, guys, I just find sports uninteresting and I really hate celebrities--the other choice.)

59 I'm to believe that trying communism over and over again while millions die, starve, and are aborted is smart?

60 The SCIENCE is settled!!!!! Science has too be falsifiable. RRRAAACCCISSSTTT!!!!!! Yep that's intelligence.

61 "Because you know all those freedom loving liberals would never, ever support a government that intrudes into people's personal choices and dictates the legally-permissible choices." Rather, you mean the way he George Bush stomped all over the Constitution, eviscerated the fourth amendment, the First Amendment (free speech cages), denied habeas corpus to whomever he thought was a terrorist? conducted surveillance of American citizens without judicial review? Shit like that?

62

42 -

I heard Rush say today that guys like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet just claim to be liberals in public to get the liberals off their backs about being rich.

 

Could just be he's baiting them for fun.  But he might also be right. 

63
Wow, talk about simple minded, I don't know that I have ever seen a "study" like this that purports to gauge the IQ of everyone of a political philosophy.

Just to make a leap like that reflects the lower IQ of the "scientists".

64 Also, when you want to make a "study" about "prejudice," it might behoove you not to assume "conservatives are bigots." Just sayin'. Especially since liberals practically *drip* with bigotry, ideological and otherwise.

65 The dumbass libs are always coming up with these ridiculous studies. Another example of how corrupt science has become. Did I say become? The commies were always using science and psych against their perceived enemies. And take a look at this: http://goo.gl/I8Dfo The french like to warehouse their kids with autism instead of treating them with therapies that are successful because those therapies are American. I shit you not.

66 Wha?
Kan some bdy rad this fur mi?

67 "Prejudice? Like what? I'm partial to chocolate ice cream."

No, that's bias,

68 It always amuses me that "High IQ" liberals can never seem to grasp the definiton of fascism.

"I think that lower cognitive capacity can lead to multiple simple ways to represent the world, and one of those can be embodied in a right-wing ideology where 'People I don't know are threats' and 'The world is a dangerous place'. ...

So ... uh ... where does "Hope" and "Change" fit into his perspective? Hmmm?

70 The study neglected to point out the root cause of prejudice against Conservatives.
I think it begins with Marx.

71

Anyone know where this term "right-wing" comes from?  It appears to have been created just to associate National Socialists with individualists, who would otherwise have nothing in common.  But we've got this label sticking us to Nazis?

80 Didn't they do a study not too long ago that people who watched Fox News were on average smarter than those that watched the other cables?


I'm working on getting rid of the comma too along with the apostrophe.

81

Let's not forget how these people define cognitive ability.  It's usually with testing, which is focused on regurgitation of data.  They seldom measure actual intelligence - the ability to comprehend and use information. 

Further, they forget that the academic apparatus baises the results.  The "smart" kids who go to college have their heads filled with foolish Liberalism.  The "dumb" kids are not exposed to the same amount of leftist pap, so they are often left with the teachings of parents and pastors - actual wisdom as opposed to Leftist ideological BS.

You know, it should be so easy to win this election, and instead we're forced to pick between a NE Liberal Republican and Newt Gingrich.

Like Mitt Romney signing into law the gun tax and other taxes that raised taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Like Mitt Romney signing Romneycare, forcing everyone to do their personal business the way Romney wanted, with free abortions and free healthcare for illegals.

Like strapping that dog to the roof, dictating its choices to the terrified freezing animal just because the dog was Mexican.

Like kicking down doors and grabbing books from orphans.

The Soviet Union is responsible for this, with the CPUSA singing the doo-wops here.

 

The logic was that anyone who opposed communism (as practiced by the extant regime in the USSR) was by definition a right-winger.

 

Note that they call each other right-wingers when they have a purge. Was Trotsky a right-winger? In the real world, not so much. But according to Joe Stalin, you betcha.

This git is apparently part of a complete lab chock full of bleeding hearts:

Lab of Intergroup Processes (BLIP)

We have broad interests in prejudice generally, whether toward immigrants, foreigners, homosexuals, the obese, Americans, Muslims, women. We are even interested in fictitious groups and attitudes toward non-human animals.

Where a group or "other" exists, you can bet that someone expresses a negative attitude toward that group, or a positive stereotype that can nonetheless oppress that group. We seek to discover as much as we can about these processes, and are actively working on ways to circumvent and/or reduce negative intergroup relations.



Discrimination against fictitious groups?

90 Fascism is not conservative.  Its a total state controlled environment.  A liberals dream.  Nazi Germany was the FIRST state to have laws against smoking.  Thats right folks.  Hitler was a strict vegetarian and didn't smoke.

He even kept his vegetarian chef in the bunker with him at the end and didn't excuse him until he had his last meal before he killed himself.

Conservatives are for small gov't, and less control over our lives.

If these people are smart, they'd know this.  Looks like they got educated by the History channel.  Which throws around the 'right wing' nazi BULLSHIT

Make friends with a Paulbot and avoid the issue altogether, IYKWIM. 

Alternatively, I would start with young, fruity white wines.  Portugese vinho verde (available somewhat seasonably but dirt cheap), pinot grigios, chenin blancs. 

Or you could go with mixed drinks.  Put yourself in the hands of a good bartender. 

94 Okay guys, I can't even stand the smell of beer, and wine tastes foul. Any suggestions on how I can take up drinking?

Cider. Or rum-based fruity drinks that come with umbrellas.

Mojitos and Lemon Drops, that kind of thing.

(And, no, I'm not sharing my home-made boysenberry liqueur. I'm almost out, and I'm not going to be in the house when the boysenberries fruit again.)

95 I don't know any personally, but ALL conservatives (especially the white ones) are prejudiced and racist, so they must be dumb.

96 Didn't Newsweak recently have a cover asking why Obies critics are so dumb? Could this be a new tactic? I remember seeing a bumper sticker advertised saying "If you voted for Obama to prove you are not a racist, vote him out of office to prove you are not stupid". Maybe somebody saw it, too, and it struck a nerve.

There is a documented IQ gap of 15 points between whites and blacks. When will that be mentioned in the media?

99 Cider is a good suggestion.  More manly than white wine. 

100 You have to understand that where you see "left and right," they see "right and wrong." Period. This "study" started with the question "why do people keep choosing wrong (right-wing) ideas?" Apart from the fact that liberals are too dumb to tell the difference between euro-right-wing and American right wing.

Go ye to the bar, friend, and order a vodka and tonic with lime.  Don't take the well vodka - get somethink like Skyy, or Grey Goose, to make sure there are no extra pollutants.  Squeeze the lime into the drink, but not to vigorously - it's the zest that's crucial, not the juice.  Once you have savored this most excellent of beverages you will be ready to join the elite.

I thought someone here said it came from the french.  Their legislature was divided, and the socialist/commies were put on the left.  When fascists started arriving, they more or less arbitrarily put them on the right, thus making the right-wingers. 

 

Even if that ain't strictly the case, I'm going to go ahead and believe it anyway, because it sounds good, and being a conservative, that's all that matters to me.

Naturally it has nothing at all to do with the cultural decline of the inner cities, nor with the utter failure that is Leftist pedagogy.  Heaven forbid any of the actual facts be brought up.

The funny part is that liberals believe that decisions should be left up to "experts," thereby implicitly admitting that others are considerably brighter/more knowledgeable than they are.

 

Curiously, their faith in "experts" remains unshaken even after the "experts" fail dismally. How many Nobel Laureates in economics were involved in Long Term Capital Management, anyway? How they doin'?

Good suggestion.  Another nice kahlua option is to mix it with cream directly over ice.  I like it about half and half.

134 @68 It always amuses me that "High IQ" liberals can never seem to grasp the definiton of fascism.   The smart ones understand the definition just fine.    It's just part of the socialist's Big Lie Strategy.  Tell dullard voters enough times with a straight face that Hitler was a man of The Right and they will start to believe it.  Ignore the fact that "NAZI" is short for National Socialist Workers Party and that Hitler just didn't think that International Socialism was racist enough and eventually you'll be able to call Clarence Thomas a Fascist.

135 It's so funny how the left thinks if they repeat the lies enough, we'll forget that their views are responsible for millions of deaths, that they practically worship human sacrifices in the form of abortion and letting depraved rapists and murderers go while protesting any form of actual punishment for such people.

I'm also sick of the moronic meme that we have to 'understand' other cultures.  Bullshit.  I understand that some cultures are downright evil and deserved to get stomped out of existence, like the Mayans and alot of the other blood cults.  And why can't THEY understand my culture, that lefties are sub-human since they signed away their humanity to worship human sacrifice, animals and trees.  I'm quite sure the animals and trees are ashamed to be associated with such people.

Frank Herbert had one thing right.  There's people and then there's humans.  And not all people are human, they've decided not to be and that's the real shame of it all.

I thought someone here said it came from the french. Their legislature was divided, and the socialist/commies were put on the left. When fascists started arriving, they more or less arbitrarily put them on the right, thus making the right-wingers.

 

It does come from the French, specifically the seating of the National Assembly. The republicans sat on the left, the monarchists and clericalists on the right. (No fascists - fascism only came into being in 1922, with Mussolini.)

Great summer drink any time. Or since it's winter try making a hot buttered rum- with spiced rum. Yum! As an alternative- hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint schnapps. Later on, there are some great cocktails out there.

149 facism is also, of course, socialism. I guess they meant nationalism, but there's nothing wrong with nationalism.

150 I read the report of the study.  "Conservative" ideology was measured by one's answers to questions like, "Does Mum staying home from work make for a better home life?" and measuring your reaction to seeing a picture of a turd floating in the crapper.  Conservatives think pictures of turds are "icky" (sic). 

Malia and Sasha scored off the charts liberal cause they answered the first question " Hell, No!!"  and reacted to the second one with "Daddy!"

Ignore the fact that "NAZI" is short for National Socialist Workers Party and that Hitler just didn't think that International Socialism was racist enough

 

 

The National Socialist Workers Party really *was* socialist. Its plank was solidly so, and Hitler himself in Mein Kampf railed against international finance, capitalism, and the stock market. (In fact, that was one driver of his anti-Semitism.)

 

Take out the racial bits, and the NSDAP agenda would be hard to distinguish from the OWSers.

 

The Night of the Long Knives took place because the hard-core socialist part of the NSDAP (Roehm and the SA) were agitating to implement hard-left policies. That scared the industrialists into withholding support from Hitler, while the SA's bid to supplant the Army scared the military into doing the same.

 

Solution? Whack Roehm and the SA leadership, right in the middle of a homosexual orgy in Munich.  (Most of the SA top-brass were homosexual.) Problem solved.

153

@140 At least Mussolini was fond if Italy.

And that's pretty much the main difference between Nazi/Fascisti Socialism (Fascism) and Soviet-style Socialism (Communism) - Rabid Nationalism.  Any other differences (like ownership of the means of production) are pretty much cosmetic.  Yeah, Barky falls on the Internationalist side.

Leftists are so smart that they know how dangerous it is to allow power to be consolidated into the hands of corportations, which can't really compel you to do anything, and how beneficial it is to allow power to be consolidated into the hands of a few government officials who can compel you to do damn near anything at gunpoint.

162

And that's pretty much the main difference between Nazi/Fascisti Socialism (Fascism) and Soviet-style Socialism (Communism) - Rabid Nationalism

 

Yep. Mussolini was a Marxist at one time, and a highly regarded one who (IIRC) met and was respected by Lenin (pre-USSR) for his intellectual prowess.

 

But during WWI, Mussolini noticed that Italian working class soldiers evinced more allegiance to Italy and the Italian officer class than they did to the Austrian working class soldiers they were fighting. He decided that nationality trumped social class, contra Marxist theology, and decided to build socialism not within the working class across nations (i.e., horizontally), but within a nation and across social classes (vertically). Socialism within a nation - national socialism.

  They didn't. Pre-WWII governments were socialist, one headed by Leon Blum, but pre-war France was politically unstable, with governments falling all the time.   French fascism only really came out after defeat by the Germans. Part of it was expediency (go with the winners), and part of it was the appeal of a doctrine that had converted two prostrate countries - Germany and Italy - into powerhouses. Some Frenchmen looked at those examples, and decided France could/should do the same. Hell, some *Americans* drew the same conclusion about here.     I readily admit, whenever I hear of something foul in this world (as opposed to fowl), I always figure if the french didn't invent it, they probably went a long way toward perfecting it.     The French invented bureaucracy.

Let's not leave out criminals. You know that show COPS? My kids and I call it "Meet the Democrats." There's a reason why Dems want felons to get the vote.

179
From visiting the comments sections at Huff Po, Dem Undergrounds, etc., and what is being said there about Mormons and underwear, I am inclined to believe there is a correlation between bigotry and low intelligence.

180

They didn't. Pre-WWII governments were socialist, one headed by Leon Blum, but pre-war France was politically unstable, with governments falling all the time.

 

----------------------------------

 

Pre-WWII?  What about post-WWII.  Look at what's happening to the EU now.  European nations have never been stable.  And the coincidence is, is that they have never gotten away from socialism.  Socialism breeds instability.

181

Um...

Word is that 97% of one race in particular voted along racial lines in the last presidential election - a percentage higher than you see in military dictatorships, where one take a real person risk by not voting for who you're supposed to.

But that fairly blatant racist action was in support of a LIBERAL. Hmmm...

One could also point out that the same race does significantly worse than the all other races on IQ tests and even the SATs. The result is so painful to liberals that they are in denial about it, claiming that there must be some sort of bias. Being scientific sorts, they hypothesise that all ethnics groups MUST necessarily have the same average IQ, - even though there is no physiological reason for such a thing and there are an abundance of other traits that vary widely among these groups (hair color, eye color, height, blood types, susceptability to various diseases - it's endless). Gee, it's almost as if they think a person's IQ and a person's worth are one-and-the-same (not that they're intellectual snobs, or anything...) Anyway, let's "scientifically" ignore the fact that other ethnic groups that have been in this country for a few centuries less time do just fine.

So - to be blunt - the people at the low end of the IQ curve in this country are predominently liberals. The study is obviously a load of politically-motivated crapola.

This is like that recent Newsweek cover. It's like they're 5 years old, and are calling people who don't approve of their antics "Stupidhead".

Oh, and who was that again that let a group of people off the hook for voter intimidation because of their race? You know, the "civil rights aren't for white people" guy? Oh, wait - that was a liberal, so I guess it doesn't count.

Come to think of it, my argument actually supports the racism/low-IQ connection - it's just that they're LIBERALS.

182

Of course, if you read Robert Conquest, you'd know that it was never really that popular, and the brown shirts just intimidated everyone else into compliance.

 

Yep, the other problem was, what was the alternative? The KPD (German Communist Party) was agitating to take over, and indeed had already seized power once in Munich and set up soviets there in the early 20s (i.e., a few years after Lenin had done the same thing in Russia).

 

People were terrified of the Communists, before which the other parties were helpless. Only the Nazis had the muscle to fight them in the streets, and to prevent the Communists from breaking up their meetings. (The SA was originally founded for just this purpose.)

 

So the choice before Germans was between Communists and Nazis, when the true nature of the latter was not really known, but that of the former was. The Germans were screwed either way.

183 I'm just a knuckle dragging conservative, but I looked up the actual paper and read their methods section. I'm sure there are plenty of other problems with this paper, but a 30 second look of how they measured "conservatism" shows that the authors basically define it exactly the way a liberal making a strawman argument would. Do they really think they achieved adequate stratification with the imbecilic questions they asked?

It's also interesting that psychology, which is the simplest possible major and the one that people gravitate to when they can't handle the rigors of even the easiest humanities subject, is also the one that is almost exclusivly populated by liberals. Maybe they should look into that one for their next study.

184
'People I don't know are potential threats' and 'The world is a dangerous place'.

Also, I'm more likely to get screwed over by people I know than people I don't.

In conclusion my study revealed that all conservative men should just go beyond tolerance and just bend over and accept the future.

@183 'I'm sure there are plenty of other problems with this paper, but a 30 second look of how they measured "conservatism" shows that the authors basically define it exactly the way a liberal making a strawman argument would.'

 

No doubt. Reminds me of when my kid brought home that study showing how "uninformed" Fox News watchers were. A pretty cursory look at the thing showed that that they listed a bunch of liberal beliefs and strawmen, and rated how "well informed" you were based on how much you deviated from the beliefs, or matched the strawman. In at least one case, they polled, essentially, whether you were a "birther", and related claims, even though not a single commentator, or broadcaster on Fox ever supported those claims. It appears you can be "misinformed" on Fox without them even giving you the misinformation.

 "Much of the present research literature suggests that our prejudices are primarily emotional in origin rather than cognitive. These two pieces of information suggest that it might be particularly fruitful for researchers to consider strategies to change feelings toward outgroups," rather than thoughts.

Hey, I read about changing people's feelings in some book. It was boring, because it had no pictures.  Anyway these people who  knew what was best for everybody wanted this guy to like them.  So they put this cage with a rat in it over his face.  Changed his feelings about those people real fast, and he darned if he didn't start just loving them.

Those people knew what was best for everybody, just like liberals do today.  But they were even smarter than our liberals - they made sure their personal computers didn't have keyboards and the internet only worked one way.

194 This isn't science, it's a warm fuzzy blanket for liberals to snuggle in their jammies.

195 This sort of crap always makes me cry a little for these people who call themselves scientists.

Sorry guys, the answers of political ideology vs. intelligence is "it's complicated".  No seriously, that is the correct answer.

Want to know how I know this?  I ran down both exit polls and census data with party affiliation for a couple decades t avoid a single cycle messing with my general data.

Democrats highest winning category is?  HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS.
Democrats 2nd highest category is?  PhD GRADUATES

No shit... Republicans tend to take the HS grads and BS/BA College grads.

So the party that has the lowest end of the spectrum educationally ALSO has the highest end of the spectrum educationally.  And although it's not a perfect match, IQ to education level is generally pretty consistent, especially at the extremes...

So this study claiming it's not complicated and in fact really easy to explain?  Bullshit, dead wrong, and poor science.

Oh, and racism is only on the right-wing?  who put it there... ask a liberal and you've got a decent change it was the JOOOOS as they're the cause of all the evil in the world... or something.

But the left doesn't have any bigots; unlike the right who you know are stupid inbred bigots without even meeting any of them.. because they're all the same.

Like I said... that people who call themselves scientists do crap like this... it makes me cry a little inside.

Accept the real answer... it's too f***ing complicated to boil down to a short news story; and if you claim otherwise you're not a scientist, you're a biased bigoted retard.

201 Why get in an uproar over this study? No intelligent Liberal is going to ever mention it to you, because he will know that the first opportunity he messes up you are going to throw it in his face and EVERYBODY screws up sometimes.

As for non-intelligent Liberals, they are going to get a heck of a lot smarter after a few times of hearing something like:

"Nice going BRANIAC, must have been your superior liberal brain behind that genius decision!"

202 One thing that I noticed right off was the lack of a sizable sample that they tested. When you have only 254 people in the sample, the margin for error is quite high. Couple that with the loaded questions that were answered (I know the "test" that they used, because I've taken it before), you'll get a deeply skewed result.

No surprise. Liberals come mostly in two flavors:

1) Losers looking for a free handout and

2) Elitists, who feel entitled to a position of priviledge without having to do anything that is actually useful, and are generally narcissistic control-freaks who believe that THEY will be the ones who end up calling the shots. These are the high-IQ guys (not the losers of #1) who are referred to as the "useful idiots".

 

But what you've overlooked is that the #1s FAR outnumber the #2s.

210 Wow. Yet another 'study' with the central thesis 'People who believe in thing I don't like are big stupidheads.'

It is true Psych types were once required to study so fairly difficult math but that was being watered down by the 50s. Jerry Pournelle, who has his Doctorate in Psychology, has often discussed how his real career in Aerospace is owed to having a mentor who required his students to take the real Stat courses rather than the 'For Psych Students' version that already being offered then.

What he has also discussed publicly is that almost everything they were taught in Psych itself was later shown to be utter nonsense.

It is still being taught.

212 One more time: Fascism is LEFTWING.

Support for affirmative action or a belief that affirmative action is ultimately damaging to the very people it claims to help?

How does recognition of the high likelihood for unintended consequences factor into IQ studies?

214

Simplistic Obvious Conservative Economic Model:  If we increase the amount of money in private hands by reducing taxes, we will increase economic activity in general, allowing more businesses to hire and labor to negotiate for higher salaries, thus benefitting everybody, including those who may have lost direct subsidies at the lower end of the economic spectrum.

Highly Complex and Subtle Liberal Economic Model:  We gonna give you free stuff bought with other people's money.

215 So what is worse?  The ignorant, uneducated hillbilly that espouses "conservative" viewpoints (quotes are because I question what the authors consider conservative- probably hatred of brown people, and a love of guns), or the highly "educated" suburbanite who has been indoctrinated into the liberal way of thinking by all of their liberal-arts professors?

The hillbilly may have beliefs which are repugnant, but you can cut them some slack for having a third grade education.  There is no excuse for the close minded beliefs of our advanced degree'd betters.
 

216 I have trouble grasping complexity where none exists.

217 Really? Go to any ghetto where 99% of the residents are liberals and test their IQs. Last time I checked blacks and latinos lead the nation in high school drop out rates. Who is it that vote democrat know matter what? Oh yeah blacks and latinos.

218 Also, I am willing to bet every penny I own that if you walk down the street and pick out the first black democrat and first black republican you see, the black republican will destroy the democrat in IQ ten times out of ten.

219 I wonder how this phrase didn't enter this discussion....the conclusions of this "study" are not even wrong.

220 I cant red that artlce. No pitchurs.

221 A reminder:
Democrats were the slave-holders in the South before and during the Civil War.
Democrats founded the KKK.
FDR, a Democrat President, put the Japanese-Americans into internment camps.
Democrat governors blocked school doorways in the South during the 1950s.
Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
