I am starting to believe the studies that show that people who self identify as conservative are usually lower in IQ than people who self identify as liberal.
I know, those studies were probably done by pinko, college educated, liberals.
Yes, because it's so much easier to assume that people who believe in property rights are stupid, than to try to justify something for nothing via failed Marxist wishful thinking.
By the way, as I've pointed out MANY times before (feel free to check my prior posts), I lean right on economic policies (via property rights) and left on most social policies. If you want to assume I'm a "conservative", I'm pretty sure the far right crowd won't like that I (citing a few examples off the top of my head):
1). Am for gay marriage, cross-dressing, and pretty much every kind of personal freedom that doesn't actually generally actively HURT other people. In other words,
tolerance. (Perhaps you should look up the word "irony" at this point).
2). Am for a woman's right to choose her reproductive decisions, period.
3). Believe in AGW. Also, personally try to minimize my carbon footprint, and think that we should heavily tax fossil fuel burning to greatly incentivize energy conservation and green energy alternatives and research.
4). Am against science denial for all issues including things like climate change and evolution and anything to do with fetuses.
5). Am solidly for COMPLETE separation of church and state.
So if you insist that this kind of stuff makes me have a low IQ, what does that say about left wing social values in general?
The true irony here is that claiming people who don't think like you are stupid is EXACTLY the kind of behavior one would expect from the extremes of right wing entities like FOX news. (Or its mirror image on the left, MSNBC, so never mind on that point).
But pardon me. I need to go drool on myself awhile for daring to believe in property rights...
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.
