The problem is the statement is not supported. You
have never seen anything to support your claim that
"Liberals" [sic] socre lower on IQ tests than the
public at large.
In fact, in my admittedly limited experience, liberals
- I'm not one, so don't take this as any kind of
defence of contemporary American liberalism - generally
seem *more* intelligent than either conservatives or
the population overall. The problem is that being
intelligent doesn't necessarily mean one has the right
values of what's good and bad, what the role of people
in relation to society and government should be, and so on.
I'm libertarian, although culturally and politically I
feel more comfortable with certain conservative values.
However, I find liberals generally far more
intellectually stimulating and pleasant to be around
socially than I do most conservatives; most
self-described conservatives seem to me to be knuckleheads.
