"Sort of is one of those blindingly obvious things, given the recent crop of Teabagger candidates."
It's too bad all conservatives and tea party people can't be as intelligent as Rep. Hank Johnson: "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." Larry, your open mindedness, your acceptance of others and their ideas, your willingness to try to see the other side, your refusal to attach labels to people and buy into stereotypes, your refusal to slander others or buy into slander about those groups make you a model for all of us. If we all could only be as open minded and tolerant as you. Oh by the way, on your study. It was based on adolescence and youth: Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health support Kanazawa's hypothesis. Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence. I could have told you young people are more liberal than older people. I was a liberal democrat in up until I turned 30. Then reality set it. I moved to the center and called myself an independent. Then I moved to the right and called myself a Republican. Now I moved out of that part and don't call myself anything but anti-establishment. Hell, in this study, Kanazawa make's liberal seem like mutants: In the current study*,* Kanazawa argues that humans are evolutionarily designed to be conservative, caring mostly about their family and friends, and being liberal, caring about an indefinite number of genetically unrelated strangers they never meet or interact with, is evolutionarily novel. Finally, one of the main problems with "liberalism" (I hate labels because today's liberals are so different from the origin of liberalism) is their intellectual elitism. They believe that the know what is best so people should just do what they say do. Fascism basically.
