Wow, and you wonder why this country is in such bad shape with wackjobs of both parties taking over with baseless studies, nonexistant facts, accusations based on fear and ignorance...
Yes Democrats, we are looking at you just as much

Reason: off topic
With complete control of the media on TV, the Democrats have brainwashed many a person into supporting degenerate culture.... many examples can be found on city data....
What????

Today's conservatism, as peddled by those with considerable influence in churches, politics and the media is one of division (us vs. them), anger, perceived victimization and rigidity of thought, the results of which breed the following:
As society, and the world, enters a new information age, with technology at the forefront, conservatives tend to push back: Scientific thinking is scorned. Just read any of the climate change threads to see this anti intellectualism at work. There are two types of leaders in the intellectual movement of the 21st century: Progressives and Regressives.
Voting to reelect Bush exposed the extremely low intelligence of the Conservative segment of this country, as well as the lousy political instincts and judgment. They're not even worth responding to. Boehner a fine symbol of such stupidity. Shame.

Enjoy President Obama's second term.
If the unfortunate happens and he is reelected, welcome to $18-20 trillion dollar national debt by the end of his 2nd term.

That's not really conservatism. Conservatism is just a political movement to entrench established power and protect it.
The modern know-nothingism within the American right-wing is one part Christian fundamentalism and one part a result of modern technology rendering the basic struggle for survival moot for most of the developed world such that the common knowledge of how societies function are held together, developed over tens of thousands of years, is taken for granted and forgotten by a segment of the population.
One feeds into the other: Christian fundamentalism disregards the traditional hierarchical knowledge structure and puts the average uneducated dolt on the same pedestal as a doctor of divinity in terms of received knowledge, which then bleeds over into every other area of existence.
Yes, conservatives do thrive on low intelligence and poor information. That was so awfully proven when an Oklahoma state senator, a Republican, looked up on the Internet from sketchy sites that a big problem in this country was human fetuses were being placed in food. So he proposed a bill that would ban doing that in Oklahoma. The FDA said it knew of nothing about human fetuses being in food. A far right Christian organization accused Pepsi of doing such a disgusting thing. But Pepsi responding by denying it. Story at: Okla. senator wants ban on human fetuses in food - Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/news/article/Okla-senator-wants-ban-on-human-fetuses-in-food-2683862.php - broken link)
Did ya hear about the liberals who tried to ban water?
Ask yourself which of those groups tend to vote Democrat.
Answer: The racial groups with the lower average IQ.
The blue/ red state IQ difference is now mostly due to the fact the red states are disproportionately more black and hispanic.
