Members TurboRotary13b Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Stupid blacks hate whites and they are mostly democrats.. I think its more an issue of being stupid than belonging to a particular political party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newholland Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 i've known intelligent social and political conservatives, and theres certainly no shortage of dim bulbs amongst the ranks of social and political 'liberals' or 'progressives'. i'm not sure i see any direct correlation, personally. i kinda just see it that 'dumb' people are just dumb- and whether they're following one ideology or another.. they're still just gonna make bad decisions.

Members yanktar Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Oh, I disagree. Lots of highly intelligent but extremely selfish and self-centered people adopt "conservative" views...Like Newt Gingrich or Michelle Bachmann. But, then again, I haven't seen anyone in politics or the news who IS a true Conservative, in the Buckley/Goldwater mold in many, many years. Mostly reactionaries and corporatists, one trying to justify racism, bigotry and religious intolerance, the other trying to justify the monopolization of wealth. Some do both.

Members rushtallica Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I used to be a hardcore right-winger but have shifted more towards the center or even a bit left on some things. A few observations: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nerol1st Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think that since 98% of educators at the college level (who conduct a lot of these types of studies) are liberal as {censored} and get wet at anything any democrat says, I'm guessing they wouldn't miss an opportunity to pin anything negative on conservatives. Seriously I've never had a teacher/professor that saw any flaw in the Democratic party. {censored} I had an English professor that just couldn't {censored}ing wait to preach how amazing sauce democrats are. IMO he should have shut the {censored} up and educated me on whatever we were reading but of course, I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that type of thing for either party, though rarely. I wouldn't want any professor pushing his/her own political or religious views even if I may agree with the views.

Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 Liberal Union leaders opposing right to work legislation? This is the accurate part: "In other words, it might not be a particular ideology that is linked to stupidity, but extremist views in general."Test the collective IQs of the extremists on both sides and you'll find the idiots. If you're a complete partisan honk for either the Ds or the Rs, your brain don't work good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ***1776*** Posted January 27, 2012 Members Share Posted January 27, 2012 And speaking of the media. HONEST question (Im talking reporters and journalists for the most part, not opinion heads) Are they more sympathetic to liberal or conservative views? Do they "paint them and cover them and the politicians of each party "exactly the same? Whatchya guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
