EDIT: I should have put this in originally. If you're a conservative who disagrees with the validity of the (enormous quantity of) studies, actually explain what is flawed in their methodology before blindly labeling them "junk science". Thanks.
30% of social conservatives have incomes >75k, 28% have college degrees.
41% of liberals have incomes >75k, 49% have college degrees.
(in case if you searched it, somebody trolled the wikipedia page on the topic and messed up the figures, but wasn't smart enough to mess up the more in depth chart near the bottom)
And please understand the difference between Democrat/Republican and Liberal/Conservative. Republicans are on average actually more likely to have college degrees than Democrats (although I may be wrong on this), but as a subgroup, self identified Liberals are by far the most educated people in the United States, followed by libertarians.

Well then why aren't they sending their extra money to DC ? Why are they whining that the Repubs in Congress are blocking them from paying more taxes ?
Studies also show that liberals are ironically far less likely to do really stupid things like drop out of high school, marry young, become teenaged parents and divorce. We nurture our kids, provide them with access to birth control information, give them a future, tell them go to college and let them read more than the bible.
Hardly surprising. It's Chelsea Clinton vs. Bristol Palin. Any honest parent would tell you in five seconds which one they would rather parent.
Education and affluence breeds liberalism on social issues which then define the rest of your politics.
When 80+% of college freshmen who are religious become athest/agnostic/irreligious and liberal by college graduation that says something about the indoctrination going on at our universities. I will admit liberals generally have more book smarts and their idealism sounds great, but they lack common sense about the nature of humans and how what looks good on paper might work well in a perfect world but when put into practice is nearly always a colossal failure.
"Studies" show that "liberals" continue to post junk science with no analytical thought. There are multiple threads about each of these "studies."
Exactly right. How many times does this stupid S### have to be debunked? The liberals continue to put up this ignorant post and they actually believe it to be true. It is sad that they have to look for junk to try to make themselves look good. Oh well ignorance is a hard thing to fight so I guess we will continue to see such foolishness posted here.
