note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom Send a noteboard - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM
Social conservatism may be linked to lower IQ in some cases, but I think it's probably unfair to say that there is no merit to social conservatism as a result. I'm not a social conservative, but it doesn't mean they can't have compelling arguments.

As for fiscal conservatism, the article says nothing about it, but certainly the more fiscally conservative one tends to be, the more wealthy one tends to be...
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I think ... Nate - 03/02/2012 09:28:02 PM 995 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 1736 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 1932 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 1913 Views
Pretty sure hes saying liberals are pedophiles and I for one am not at all suprised! *NM* Urza - 04/02/2012 09:23:58 PM 1379 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 1705 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 1758 Views

I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 1771 Views
It bothers the living fuck out of me Tom - 03/02/2012 10:59:01 PM 1733 Views
Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 1654 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 1653 Views
Re: Oh, I still vote Republican. Isaac - 04/02/2012 01:15:10 PM 1749 Views
Actually, I could be an enthusiastic Democrat on principle, if any elected Dems would join me. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:49:48 AM 1892 Views

Primary voting age is pretty high for both parties compared to general election, GOP a bit higher Isaac - 04/02/2012 12:22:44 PM 1734 Views
The two tend to go together, though it is far from a hard and fast rule. Joel - 04/02/2012 11:50:03 PM 1795 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1637 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 1703 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 1088 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 820 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 496 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 877 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 976 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 999 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 1088 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 1126 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 809 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 1091 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 815 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 924 Views
Yes. It is not very likely, though, since no measurement we have done so far indicates that it is so jh - 05/02/2012 02:28:18 PM 767 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 998 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 868 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 701 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 1021 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 406 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 922 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 865 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 876 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 901 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 874 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 1073 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 997 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 984 Views
this sort of "science" is so easily and often slanted it doesn't really merit arguement Ray - 04/02/2012 04:23:14 AM 945 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 881 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 737 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 921 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 1007 Views
