Did Anyone Post a Thread on the Research Showing Liberals Are Smarter than Conservati

[DinoDoc]

Does this mean liberals are biologically forced to be flip-floppers?

[Zkribbler]

Liberals do have the ability to reassess their previous positions and, when circumstances dictate, have the moral and ethical ability to admit their previous positions were incorrect, and to move on to a better position. Yes.

Republicans believe they know everything, even when their position is demonstratively dead wrong. So their attitude is, Why change??

[DinoDoc]

They have no moral core upon which to base their opinions on and are thus are as changeable as the wind.

Conservatives on the other hand have the ability to avoid being distracted by shiny new toys and focus on the task at hand leaving us with the ability to actually get things done.

Yes, yes, we know: (1) Increasing short-term corporate profits, no matter what the costs to the rest of society and to future generations. (2) Using the power of government to cram your religion down the throats of others.

As opposed to a) trying to recreate the moral decay of the 60's, b) demanding that others subsidize your irresponsibility. and c) eating babies?

[Berzerker]

the moral decay of the 60's, the dismantling of those good times under Jim Crow

On the contrary, they're convinced they have a greater moral claim to your money than you...

Two of the smartest people I know are conservatives. And that's not even counting George Will.

Do you live in a zoo?

George Will is an idiot.

Unless of course the toys in question are breasts attached to a local prostitute.


Seriously Dino, you cannot believe that conservatives have any brains or that the highly educated tend towards it. This forum would seem to prove that. You should really do a poll.

You can add my PhD to the leftists.

There's more shiny objects on capitol hill than there are big breasted prostitutes... not much more, but still more.

IMO, it's really not a conservative vs. liberal thing. I think our problem is that we keep electing lawyers and poly sci majors to office. Thus, I would suggest that those with those degrees are dumber than others.

[Shrapnel12]

Liberals have their hands in the pockets of corporations as much as conservatives do, they are just more subtle about it. Perhaps that's why they are smarter. They are definitely more devious.

I side with the liberals on this one (except the baby eating thing). Moral decay means more fun and I'd love it if people paid me to sit on my @ss all day long.

QFT! Shoot all politicians!

I think you have them confused with the luminaries of the DNC who are far more likely to be running whore houses out of their apartments as to be doing any actual work.

I'm curious. Are you trying to help me case with this statement?

[DaShi]

Dinodoc is right. Conservatives prefer men. . .or boys.

Errr... hi everyone! *waves to Oerdin*

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, DD.

They're particularly good grilled with a honey-BBQ glaze.

Is that why you're a pediatrician?
