The IQ of the average Liberal is far less than a Conservative.

Quoting the article:
"A new study conducted at Harvard University shows that in America,
Liberals have a significantly lower IQ than Conservatives. The study was
conducted on 100,000 registered voters in 40 different states over the
last twelve years, and has concluded its results.
The first part of the study lists the correlation between political
beliefs and intelligence. Subjects of the study were chosen at random
and requested to come to an unmarked van to take a test and answer some
questions for a reasonable amount of money.
Of the 100,000 people, there were people from many doctrines, from
conservative to liberal to marxist to fascist. Socialists came out on
bottom, with an average IQ of 87. The second worst were Liberals and
then Marxists, with 88 and 89 respectively. Conservatives received an
average score of 110, which is significantly above average. "
Also,
"
Other parts of the study included the daily activities of the various
people based on their doctrines. Apparently, Liberals are five times
more likely to commit a crime, steal or cheat on a test than anybody
else except for Socialists, 52% of which have committed a major felony
while being watched. Conservatives not only did not commit any crimes,
but they actually prevented them, as the few events where a Conservative
was threatened by a thief or mugger was hindered by a concealed
handgun. Also, Communists are the most likely to commit rape or sexual
assault, second to socialists.

But my opinions will always be formed by an active mind which demands that ideas be evaluated against careful observations of reality, a demand for self-consistency, and a rigorous and critical evaluation by my most rational mind.
Now, you and I both know that Communists cannot have an average IQ of 135, so you should have seen that this was a bogus report.
Interesting nonetheless. We have the Socialist Canadian study vying for Liberals (Pseudonym for guess what), and the American study vying for the Conservatives... I'll go ahead and trust the American study. Sorry Canada, nice try.
Their inferiority complexes appear to be huge.
This study makes no sense at all. I think this is a fake "study". Also, there's the whole thing that I cannot find a credible link from Harvard University (allegedly the source of this study), any Science Journal or any academic reference that reports on this story. In fact, it's as if this story DIDN'T HAPPEN and is only being reported by a random wordpress link.
Here, on the other hand, is an actual scientific study on political ideology and iq: http://www.sciencedaily.com/r...
Also, I'm still waiting on SOME, ANY verification of this study. You can't give it to me? That's because it doesn't exist. I can find no reference to this study other than one article on one no-name website. It claims to be from Harvard University, but a web-search turns up nothing (it does turn up some interesting political science studies from Harvard, but sadly none of them have anything to do with IQ)
Conservatives get jobs, work hard and pay taxes... if liberals had jobs and paid taxes, they would change to being conservatives too.
