Are conservatives smarter than liberals?

Liberal stupidity is connected with support of obama and obamacare
That is a proven fact. Just ask the creator of obamacare.

Kind of true. After all, "Obamacare" was based on a conservative plan to reform healthcare, in lieu of going all out for the better plan of universal single payer healthcare.

But we had to compromise.
That must have really hurt with that spin.

Bull shit. We already know you are stupid and support a lie and a liar.
 
Every day on this board we seem to have threads about 'how stupid are libs?', 'dimbocrats', 'typical liberal stupidity'....you know the drill.

The strange thing is, I don't see a lot of posts claiming the opposite. Some comments, sure, but I think most people will agree that there are far, far more posts labelling liberalism as being in some way stupid, a mental illness etc than there are posts about conservatism claiming the same superiority.

I don't get this at all - I see no link between political views and intelligence. I've met some brilliant socialists, a couple of brilliant fascists, and everything in between. I have met enough painfully stupid liberals and painfully stupid conservatives that I don't think either side are in too great a position to start claiming a monopoly on smarts.

Isn't claiming 'liberalism is a mental illness' the kind of Catch 22 comment that only an intellectual dwarf could assume?

Or is there a reason that some conservatives believe they are intellectually superior?
Liberals are guided by emotion.
Examples
"I feel".....
"But what about?"
Add in their incessant use of straw man arguments such as...."Oh so you right wingers want to reduce ( social program), why don't you just throw them( target recipient of said social program) into the street?'
Libs use buzz terms to excite their base into becoming interested in the next "cause". Or use these terms to maintain a narrative.
Terms such as "corporation", "rich", "CEO", "SUV", "wealth" , "drilling"and of course "Wall Street"...all of which are designed to trigger an emotional response.
Conservatives use logic and reason to further their agenda.

If you truly have substance in a debate, you don't resort directly to "You are stupid!"......you simply use your substance.

When someone holds the debate "You are stupid" EVERYONE knows they lost the debate.
I cannot fathom the number of times a liberal seeing themselves on the short end of an argument has to resort to insults and character assassination as a means to deflect attention away from the issue.
Top five cliches liberals use to avoid real arguments - The Washington Post
Liberals will insist their ideology is one of tolerance for other points of view. There are mega numbers of examples showing this is simply not true.
 
I tend to agree, AntiParty....particularly when someone starts a thread entitled something like 'liberals are this stupid' I wonder if it is arrogance or incredible insecurity that leads them to do it. Or maybe some people just like to get a reaction, I guess.

Your post inspired me to make a post of my own on the topic. 10 Ways to Avoid Brainwashing Yes everyone and all parties US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

NO party is stupid. All have good perspectives and flaws. The problem with America today is parties justify their flaws because they are more invested in their parties good perspectives.

In whole, everyone in America wants the same thing. Some blame the Government, some blame the Corporations......but they are both the same thing kind of. You can't become a politician without the funding from many Corporations.
Here's the problem. This discussion has nothing to do with political parties.
Liberal is an ideology.

What do you expect from people who believe the world is 6,000 years old and God controls the climate? That science is a "faith" and evolution a lie? People they gave us the Iraq fiasco, the deficit, and that think Canadian oil isn't "foreign". They think "supply and demand" is a wild liberal theory. They think ending the minimum wage will give us "prosperity".

Look at conservative states. The wealthy ones are only wealthy because they dig it out of the ground. They create nothing. They don't know anything. For the last 30 years, every one of their policies have hurt the country.

These people are so fucking stupid, they truly believe that white conservative Confederates fought to end slavery.

These people are so fucking ignorant, they believe the credit downgrade, voter suppression, the block to investigating BP after the oil spill, and the government shutdown was the fault of Democrats even though their own leaders tell us they did it and it worked.

Then entire world laughs at them. Even though their party is 90% white, they believe they are the party of diversity.

You simply can't get anymore ignorant than right wing Republicans. When they said they didn't want their children to be taught critical thinking skills, they needn't have worried. That's something they will never learn from other Republicans.

Conservatives are guided by the most powerful and destructive emotion...FEAR

Is Your Brain Liberal or Conservative?

The researchers found that volunteers who identified themselves as liberal tended to have a larger anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain linked with monitoring uncertainty, which could help them cope with conflicting information. On the other hand, those who identified themselves as conservative have a larger amygdala, an area linked with greater sensitivity to fear and disgust.
 
When liberals have to LIE to trick their own base into supporting their policies, well there you have it.

You clearly don't know what the term Liberal means and you clearly haven't visited websites of fact checkers. Last election Republicans stated, "We won't let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers" after being found full of lies just like Fox News is currently today.
Now see, that is an emotional rant. Bereft of logic and intelligence

I may not be intellectually superior to a lot of educated liberals, but I am smarter than all liberals combined just because they support obama and his failed policies.
 
Romney was talking about the 47% who do not pay taxes.
Fact-checking Romney s 47 percent comment - CBS News
The Quote "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ... [M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
True or false? Much of Romney's statement relies on assumptions about one demographic: The 47 percent of Americans who he says "pay no income tax." So is it true that 47 percent of Americans don't pay income tax? Essentially, yes, according to the the Tax Policy Center, which provides data showing that in 2011, 46.4 percent of American households paid no federal income tax.
There is where he messed up by not saying federal income tax.

WOW. talk about blind ignorance...

You IGNORE this?

"who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them"

Truth is not a friend to some people, it seems to be an insult.
Many Americans have come to view government as the solution to their problems rather than the cause of them. The principles of limited government by our Founders, to an ever larger government is a dangerously misguided trend that promotes an entitlement mentality in a country that has long been known for its positive work ethic. The entitlement mentality, in turn, encourages the growth of government and the cycle continues, creating a downward spiral toward disaster.
After decades of prosperity, America’s economy is being undermined by a rapidly mutating government that devours initiative, drive, innovation, and the capital needed to seed an economic recovery. Too many Americans have bought into the increasingly discredited philosophy of the left that the government is the answer to all problems.
Some government does help but not all. There needs to be a delicate balance between the two.

Thank you for proving my point...you don't use the 'word', instead you describe 'moocher'...

I just PROVED to you that there is no entitlement gone wild in America. But don't let FACTS dent your dogmatic parroting.

You have just described the right wing world view, not the view of our founders. Another 'word' for that is ignorance.

There is no "rapid mutation' going on except for the right being completely brainwashed by plutocrats and talking heads. The only 'entitlement mentality' in this country is from the wealthy, not the poor.

Did you see the resent video on the news with those women who had a hissy fit because they got there too late to get their egg Mcmuffin?

There you go...forget the FACTS, anecdotal evidence is all you need to reinforce your dogma...

A vast amount of people in this country has the attitude of give me, give me, give and I want it and I want it now.
An entitlement mentality is a state of mind in which an individual comes to believe that privileges are instead rights.
Lack of personal responsibility. Just as those with an entitlement mentality typically expect others to solve their problems, they also refuse to accept that the problems are of their own making.
Just like the women at McDonalds.
They arrived late after the breakfast served under the hours of......... and expected to still be able to order from the breakfast menu. It was their own fault for not getting there on time.

Ha ha...Very funny. You didn't reveal who PAID these so called "researchers"....
Another lib trait which indicates a lack of substance or intelligence is they depend upon studies which THEY commission and fund.
The results are invalid if they are commissioned to produce a predetermined result.
You still cannot get around the facts I presented above.
