Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views

Additionally, since we know that Liberals are not smarter than Conservatives or have better cognitive ability, it's really not even advantageous in terms of natural selection to be a Liberal.

By physically strong are you speaking of an aroma?

The irony here is rich. The above link points to an article in The American entitled, “Are Liberals Smarter than Conservatives?” If you read the article, you see that the answer is Yes they are. The article says,

Liberals are on to something when they question the IQ [of conservative voters]. A certain bloc of the conservative electorate may very well be less intelligent than its liberal counterpart. Lazar Stankov, a visiting professor at Singapore’s National Institute of Education, published “Conservatism and Cognitive Ability” earlier this year in the peer-reviewed journal Intelligence. Here is a quote from the article’s abstract:

Conservatism and cognitive ability are negatively correlated … At the individual level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with SAT, vocabulary, and analogy test scores. At the national level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with measures of education … and performance on mathematics and reading assessments.

[The article goes on to assert that just because liberals are in fact smarter than conservatives doesn’t mean the liberals are right.]

Given the fact that conservatives aren’t very bright, we can attribute it to stupidity rather than dishonesty that BCSpace says an article that claims that liberals are smarter really means that they are not.

If you read the article, you see that the answer is Yes they are.

Hate to break it to you, but you just removed all doubt about your own intelligence. From your own quote:

A certain bloc of the conservative electorate may very well be less intelligent than its liberal counterpart

As well we may also say certain blocks of liberals are less intelligent such as the Occupy Movement.

Well, somehow this gives me an unusually competitive mood. Oh how I wish that it was "festivus" so I could go up against BCSpace in feats of strength. LOL
I'm feeling good with endurance, and agility too so it would be fun to go into the ring with BC as well; typical liberal against typical conservative.

Additionally, since we know that Liberals are not smarter than Conservatives or have better cognitive ability,.

Ummm, see Analytic's post.
Your own link says otherwise.

.. it's really not even advantageous in terms of natural selection to be a Liberal

Which why liberals all died out thousands of years ago. Nothing left to fight. Indeed, as BCSpace will agree, just about any country these days is full of nothing but conservatives and all or most are ruled by those powerful manly conservatives.
LMAO

or to be an atheist...history has proven that eventually people get tired of their arrogant blathering and tie them to the old burning stake....you think they would pay attention to that trend.....

Sigh. And the moon way well be made of cheese.

The "certain block" under question are the "Social Conservatives" such as yourself. According to your source, people with this "syndrome" are "a prominent feature of the political Right."

The peer-reviewed research you brought to the conversation indicates that Social Conservatives such as yourself tend to be less inteligent than liberals. People with your political views tend to have smaller vocabularies, aren't very good at math, don't have very good reading comprehension, etc.

Which explains why you brought this article into the conversation--your reading comprehension just isn't good enough to understand what it says.

They're also more likely to string up a black man, beat their wives, and be unemployed.
