Of course they are, and Dems will force an elite ruling class down your throat for your own protection. Men are 'too stupid' to be free from bondage.

I believe you're suffering from total cranio-rectal infarction.

If that were true, It'd be Dems fighting to relieve the Rich of tax burdens, and Dems fighting to restrict access to the polls through a variety of maneuvers. It'd be Dems cutting funds for education, calling for an end to child labor laws & minimum wage, beating down unions. It'd be Dems fighting to preserve the Big Brother aspects of the Patriot Act.

But that's not what's happening, is it?

It is relevant to the post made by Jhhnn, about the Dems trying to help the rich keep theri money. If the dems are rich themselves, they are part of the "rich people are horrible" problem and not the solution.

Doing your deliberately obtuse troll dance, again, I see.

I quoted Jaskalas' inanity, and replied. You attempted to Duh-vert! in your usual fashion, & I called you on it. Now you're pretending that it wasn't that at all, by doing it again.

Your usual application of false attribution falls into the same realm- other than you, nobody in this thread offered that rich people are horrible, but you maintain that they have. It's not true.
 
After reading this research I'm forcing myself to eat food that fell on the floor, share drinks with strangers, and shake hands with people I have already confirmed do not wash their hands after using the restroom, and pick their noses (some even still eat their boogers). All in the name of feeling smart 🙁

Multiple studies and reports have been coming out lately showing how conservatives are not playing with a full deck.

I hope they didn't spend a lot of taxpayer money on these studies when all they had to do was log in here and see that.

Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice


Polling data and social and political science research do show that prejudice is more common in those who hold right-wing ideals that those of other political persuasions

These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found.

There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

Ice cream sales are at their highest when more rapes occur, therefore rapists buy more ice cream than anyone else. No, a higher number of rapes occur (historically) in the summer months which is also when more people buy ice cream (historically).

Correlation does not equal causation.

Bullshit.

Rapists aren't buying more icecream, its the rapees that are taunting the rapists swirling their tongues around the ice cream cones.

Ban icecream sales in summer months and watch rape statistics fall off the map.
 
I love how blackangst1 responds directly to posts made against cybrsage, as if they were speaking with blackangst1 directly.

Looks like someone got confused as to which computer and account they were using.

OOOOH busted!

blackangst1 had zero responses in this thread up until that point while cybrsage had posts on every page!

Juddog probably locked up detective of the month award with that little bit of sleuthing. With only a day left in January I don't see anybody coming close.
 
lulz I can assure you I am not him

This isn't really a surprise. Right wing pandering & fearmongering are aimed at the lowest common denominator of intellectual capability & emotional maturity. It's a gut level pitch, with supporting "evidence" presented in the usual method of simulated rationality, all other evidence ignored. When additional facts surface, ones that should lead to questioning the veracity of sources, the whole episode goes down the memory hole, buried under the power of Faith.

like Michael Dukakis arguing that a furlough program for 1st degree murderers was a good working program.
 
People are acutally stupid enough to think blackangst1 and I are the same person! LOL

I call that desperation! This is funny, I am going to use this to denigrate you guys for quite some time.

Nice attempted Duh-version. Dragging the fearmongering & pandering to racism of the Willie Horton episode into it actually reinforces what I offered rather than contradicting it.

Lol a few years ago I was trolling a forum in my less ethical internet days and made this same mistake. I am not saying that this is what is happening here, this incident just reminded me of that and made me laugh.
 
I did not read the article and just going by the assumed title. It's most likely a junk science both in facts and in methods.

From my experience, I reject any "science" that attempts to explain away a "person" or "persons" based on biology. IQ itself is a controversial measure of a person's intelligence, and I know of plenty of smart conservatives.

What worries me, though, is this ongoing hostility against higher education among some factions in conservative movement. (Intelligence =\ Knowledge, of course) For example,

While speaking at the First Baptist Church in Naples, Florida on Wednesday, Santorum claimed that the Left uses universities to "indoctrinate" young people for the end purpose of maintaining power. "It's no wonder President Obama wants every kid to go to college,"

His argument borders on that parents shouldn't send their kids to the college. I know of no parents who do not want their children to receive higher education, regardless of their ideology.

But for a demagogue like Santorum, this makes perfect sense at least on paper. In the end, it's rational assumption that the less educated, the higher chance one would believe the earth is flat.

But no, there is no relationship between low IQ and conservatism. Researchers should better spend their resources wisely.
