Why do conservatives think they are smarter than liberals even though liberals are proven to be smarter time and time again?

    Please don't confuse education with intelligence. Often it takes a degree to break something and a GED to fix it. I have noticed that those who squeal about how dumb conservatives are, have never worked outside of the media, politics or academia. 57 States, right?

    Huh? Are you saying you are not a "Progressive"

    Look it up....Fact Apple employs 50k in the USA and 500K in China! I never said a word about Steven Jobs politics. I merely told you how a politician used half of a fact for his own gain!

    I never claimed they were the only jobs out there! What I did say is that there is an immediate need for many thousands.

    Out one side you agree that America needs to manufacture more as a total % of their GDP. Which is a big factor in why the Germans you applaud are not having the same economic troubles.

    Then a person who has been in manufacturing ALL his life (me) tells you a need is not being met that is crucial to it you still refute? Wow!

    You're right I give up! I'm a Moron to even try to explain this to you!

    This study, or one just like, came out a while ago. It is a very complicated study about education, economics, natural intelligence, and sociology. As a gay, liberal, atheist who would be happier than I if it was simple as these articles make it seem? There are many reasons to dislike conservative politics but this is not one of them. (However it is true that gay liberals are far better looking than other people. :^D)
    One more thing? I have to say these "All the other guys are..." polls are really getting boring. (no offense American Atheist) Maybe SH should just supply a template and people could just fill in things like; racist, homophobic, socialist, communist, hate monger, ignorant, stupid, idiot, red neck, elitist, etc... and then select the appropriate photo of Hitler or the K.K.K. Then we could all move on to something more constructive.

    Sorry for the little rant.

    I am not as interesting or controversial as that sounds. Usually I can offend at least one person in any group with out even offering an opinion and that livens things up. :^D

    Since you mentioned you're a gay liberal atheist, I don't know if you have a Facebook, but there is a group called Gaytheist that you might enjoy.

    I think this poll is rather foolish, to be honest. I am as liberal as they come but I have friends who are very conservative. There are intelligent and ignorant people on both sides of the aisle. Being able to be respectful and agree to disagree is important and something that is missing in society, in general, these days. Being able to listen to the other side without name calling is the sign of maturity. The ability to present one's side without getting angry with those who disagree is a sign of wisdom.

    I agree with the studies entirely, but there are certainly smart conservatives out there, just as there are dumb liberals.

    You know what's really shocking? That these "smart liberals" would even consider supporting anyone on the liberal side of the fence.

    Shouldn't these smarty pants people be able to understand that when you spend a whole lot more money than you have, more than ever before in history, enough to put your unborn (or un-aborted) grandchildren into hopeless debt, wouldn't you think they would say hey, wait a minute! Maybe we SHOULD read that bill before we vote on it.

    Wouldn't these brilliant minds remember that when gas was at $3.00 a gallon, they were harassing then President Bush for being in cahoots with big oil? And would they say something, anything to squeeze the now president Obama to do something other than threaten the oil companies with more expenses? And further, wouldn't those same scholars be able to figure out that if the oil companies have greater expenses, they will simply pass the cost onto the consumer (that's you and me) thereby working against the idea of lowering gas prices?

    Why aren't these wizards of knowledge concerned about historically high food prices? The stagnant business climate? Their own Constitutional scholar signing an unconstitutional law?

    Well, I'm just a dumb ass conservative, but ya know what? I don't think you or the fellas that did...

    Well, I'm just a dumb ass conservative, but ya know what? I don't think you or the fellas that did that research are actually all that smart at all! I mean come on, even the neighbor kid Douglas, the one that got hit in the head with a wind turbine blade? Even Douglas knows when to come in out of the rain. You guys just keep on running into that same old brick wall of facts and telling each other how smart you all are.

    I think I would rather hang with Douglas than you dumbbells.

    While I've agreed wholeheartedly with you on MANY occasions, Lady W, our expertise is in budgeting and thrift-- the Liberals' most egregious shortcoming (in my opinion).

    Our ill-advised, fundamentalist positions on gays, abortion, etc. will just have to come along for the ride... right now, the economy must be our top priority. And getting our troops home. And fixing the healthcare fiasco.

    That said... I expect you're pretty impressed, about now, yes? :O)
