Low IQ linked with conservative ideology, study shows
"There is reason to believe that strict right-wing ideology might appeal to those who have trouble grasping the complexity of the world."
"'Socially conservative ideologies tend to offer structure and order,' Hodson said, explaining why these beliefs might draw those with low intelligence."

if you consider the source who wrote it then you know they have a slanted bias which makes it null and void

Re: Low IQ linked with conservative ideology, study shows
This is old hat, first posited by JS Mill:
Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.
It is an unfortunate fact that we easily dismiss people with whom we disagree, often simply by calling them stupid. It happens on all sides of every ideology; if you disagree with me, it must be because you are either dumb or evil (or, more likely, both.)
There are conservative intellectuals, and there are liberal intellectuals. And there are conservative idiots, and there are liberal idiots. Any attempt to definitively link intrinsic intelligence to either side is nothing more than politics.

No doubt. You'd never hear me say that all conservatives are stupid. I know plenty of conservatives who are smarter than me. I wouldn't call myself conservative at all. I do agree with conservatives on some fiscal issues, though.americaninfidel wrote:This is old hat, first posited by JS Mill:

Ghost, I doubt you and I agree on much, but I have to admit that I find you to be a pretty reasonable guy.Ghostown42 wrote:No doubt. You'd never hear me say that all conservatives are stupid.

Why thank you, AI, (can I call you AI?) I bet we agree on more than you think.
