Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice

[_MCB]

Fascinating. Wealthy conservative whites justify not spending money on education because of the excuse of heritability of intelligence. And many of the poor, through identification with the aggressor, buy into it; they would rather take their low place in society then climb out. Those wealthy leaders think it is money down the drain, because of the failure of NCLB. Nope, NCLB failed because the problems in American society are too deeply ingrained for such an ambitious project. Mormonism is just one example.

Poppy-cock..... Liberal biased false study.....

Conservative beliefs have alway's been anti-prejudice.
It's only in the last 30 or so years have liberals perverted the truth creating their own false narrative making minority's a new kind of slave, and portraying conservatives as the bad guy.

Conservatives where the ones who freed the slaves AND ended racism.
Conservatives don't look at race, but liberals are all about race and class, etc.

Poppy-cock study!

Holy history revisionism, Batman!

Funny, I've never equated high I.Q. with gullibility, conformity, susceptibility to cults of personality, narcissism, vanity, shouting down, locking one's own head to gallery railings, chanting, drumming, occupying, and incessant blowing of vuvuzelas.

Did the study address any of those behaviors?

You're right. That's why those things are associated with the right wing. :)

Yes, it is. This entire tradition of labeling people who do not agree with your ideology as mentally deficient or mentall ill has a long history, dating from early Soviet times all the way through the cultural Marxist Theodore Adorno, who wrote an entire junk science tome, The Authoritarian Personality, upon this very subject (conservatives are fundamentally less intelligent than leftists and "progressives")

This kind of thing pops up I think at least a couple of times a decade when the Left feels cornered and has run out of tropes and slogans.

Unfortunately, it is not the conservative world within which one finds concentrated bigotry, predjudice, and intellectual feudalism, but within the Left. A large, large percentage of your intellectual forbears, Bluffalo, were stanch eugenicists, racists, and dividers of humanity into the worthy and unworthy. They were not tolerant, caring, compassionate anything.

The entire phony, pseudo-moral high ground "liberals" have taken unto themselves during the 20th century is among the most absurd jokes man has played upon himself in modern times (that and AGW).

We cannot help that the low IQ person joins our ranks as conservatives. It is not the conservative values that are linked to prejudice it's all those dumb people who don't know better. If we can maintain the lower intelligent person in the rightfully political party of liberalism we could abolish all types of prejudice.

I see that BCSpace still hasn't apologized for plagiarizing.

If you really want to see the utterly desparate lengths of intellectual grasping for a sound argument, sauteed in irrelevance and boiled in a thick broth of positivist platitudes draped in the robes of pop social science, look no further than this:

After reading this piece, read Thomas Sowell's The Vision of the Annointed for a through critique of the intellectual dynamics behind this potpourri of self satisfied delusion.

Those of the low IQ type have turned to the kind benevolence of conservatism and are destroying our party within. If anything conservatism represents a greater proportion of all types of people, both rich and poor, and smart and stupid.
