The title is not a stereotype, and can be backed with empirical data; studies consistently demonstrate that conservatives are significantly less likely than liberals to profess a great deal of trust in science, to have high IQs and to be college educated. It is a generalization, but this board's fiscal and social conservatives who do not fall into this group should try to justify their movement's typical lack of respect for complex thought, rather than indignantly whine about being misrepresented.
Have you ever wondered why conservatives are significantly less likely to be college educated? Why conservative politicians openly ridicule intellectuals and college graduates as "snobs"? Why conservatives deny Evolutionary Theory, Global Warming, Big Bang Cosmology and basic scientific facts? Why Fox News regularly disrespects and mocks scientists it brings on its show? Why the scientific community and acadameia are overwhelmingly liberal?
I blame the general decline of America's education system on the anti-intellectualism stemming largely from the Right. If only they'd fund scientific ventures as much as they fund the military...

Why do liberals think that just because someone has a different view, that the conservatives "hate" them?
It looks like it is the liberals who "hate" anyone who doesn't agree with them.
Many intellectuals have no common sense. They wallow in theory on things they and have no real experience in themselves.
Many THINK they are better and smarter then anyone else.
"Have you ever wondered why conservatives are significantly less likely to be college educated?" Perfect example and I doubt if true.
If you're trying to prove that conservatives respect intellectuals, using proper grammar might be a start.
Furthermore, conservatives are less likely than liberals or moderates to profess a "great deal of trust" in Science, and are less likely than liberals to have a college degree.
Not a conservative, but I believe in god and evolution. Not the big bang theory though. And global warming is just about the biggest pile of horse **** ever.
Do you know even know what a straw man argument is or is that just another cool sounding phrase you picked up on the internet, most likely from a liberal, that you thought you could just drop into any sentence and appear smart?

Do you want to know who scientists are mocked by and get the most disrespect from?
Other scientists.
If you don't know this to be true then you have no knowledge of how science works.
I would guess because over the past couple of decades intellectuals come across as elitist snobs who know what's best for everybody else.
Also because they always seem to want to spend other people's money on lofty sounding liberal projects.
