A bunch of reeel smarty pants type peeple who wear glassus and everything say ur dumb. Yup. If ur consurvative, your IQ is lowur than your tipical Occupy Wall Street geenyus.
Here it is. Lyve Syunce reports:
The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. 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. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.
“Prejudice is extremely complex and multifaceted, making it critical that any factors contributing to bias are uncovered and understood,” he said.
The findings combine three hot-button topics.
“They’ve pulled off the trifecta of controversial topics,” said Brian Nosek, a social and cognitive psychologist at the University of Virginia who was not involved in the study. “When one selects intelligence, political ideology and racism and looks at any of the relationships between those three variables, it’s bound to upset somebody.”
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, Nosek told LiveScience.
“The unique contribution here is trying to make some progress on the most challenging aspect of this,” Nosek said, referring to the new study. “It’s not that a relationship like that exists, but why it exists.”

The real lie is that prejudice is more common on the right.

What will happen when these genius political liberals contracept themselves into oblivion? How will we run our lives without their social programs and utopian socialist indoctrination? From whence will the radical egalitarian wisdom flow?
Boo freakin' hoo.

Remember, according to these geniuses, if you don't think gay marriage is a right–you are prejudiced. How do they define prejudice? If you don't agree with them.

Of course we couldn't just be wrong. Oh, no. We must be stupid, evil, or crazy. Preferably all three. Scratch a lefty, find a fascist. Works every time. If Mussolini were alive today, he'd be wearing birkenstocks rather then jackboots, sporting a tie-dye tee-shirt, rather then a black one, and Occupying Wall Street rather then Marching on Rome.

Man, this just makes me hate psychologists. Psychologists are, like, total stupidheads.

@Patrick Archbold: A person is free until he chooses to addict himself to lust or another perversion and vice, then he forges the chains of addiction on himself and everyone around him in our society. WE, the people, too have civil rights to be spared the misery of addiction to the gay-married agenda.

@Chris B: " If Mussolini were alive today," Mussolini is alive today and in the White House.

The psychologists, even the ones who are legally agitating for adult/child sexual intercourse do not consider their tyranny, aggression,and malpractice as prejudice. Matthew.Loved your txtng.

… I have a sudden urge to go re-read the Jaeger part of Girl Genius… or the "mad social scientist" part….
Devil's in the definition and selection of the sample, I'd bet.

Let me put it this way; have you ever heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? Morons!
Was this study done by Vizzini?
