If liberals are more “intelligent” than conservatives, why do they tend to rely on the government for their survival? Why do they tend to allow themselves to continually be seduced by socialism and communism? Why do they consistantly vote for fascist dictators? I think that “intelligent” garbage is really overblown these days.

I think it is religious. Liberals don’t believe in God, and have no sense of humilty or shame. THEY are all-powerful. They’re god is themselves. In their solipsism they can see no other viewpoint but their own.

They feel insecure and have issues of self hate. They are often bitter and rageful.

Government is much smarter than the average person...We aren’t smart enough to take care of ourselves...We need the government to take care of us...NOT!!! I just wish they would go away...

I was very liberal when I was young, and now am conservative. Does this mean I devolved and lost intelligence? LOL!
Liberals will never understand that giving an alcoholic a drink is not compassion, its cruelty, that is the core of our differences.

The Nazis considered Jews and Gypsies as inferior. Its par for the course for socialists to claim groups opposed to their radical ideas as Untermensch.

As a Hollywood resident, I’ve observed they have contempt and arrogance that they believe they are far superior than their fellow man. That they need to control other people.
BTW, these liberals are the most racist bastards I have come across.

” You started with this definition of liberalism:
‘the genuine concern for the welfare of genetically unrelated others and the willingness to contribute larger proportions of private resources for the welfare of such others.’ “
yeah...other people’s money (private resources) for the extermination of the unborn.

They think they are superior because they have been "turned over to a reprobate mind." I would like to re-phrase the infamous Rev Wright's jester here......

My grandmother used to say, "People who think they are smarter than anyone else are the dumbest people in the world."
That was based on the wisdom of living a life, learning about people, and paying attention.
I don't think a person really matures until they start seeing that they are not as smart as they always thought they were. It is this kind of relation that we acquire throught experiences - both bad and good.
Many of these libards mistake a college diploma for "smarts" or wisdom, when anyone with the money can get one. That is especially true for journalists - that group of narcisscists who want to take the very easiest courses a school offers and are so stupid they are suseptible to any form of doctrine anyone hands them.
The very LACK of intelligence is exactly WHY liberals have to resort to lying and cheating on most everything. They don't have the smarts or the work ethic to do anything right, so they have to live off entitlements, for which someone else is paying.
It doesn't take brains to know that you will get votes by passing out freebies...any idiot snake oil salesman knows the value of "free samples" and "loss leader items".
It's also been my experience that those who appear to be the "coolest"...are the dumbest. It's the nerds of the world who are curing diseases, going to the moon, and running big corporations...not those "cool mackdaddys" who think strutting around in a $500 suit makes them "cool".
It's time to dispel the rumor that democrats are more intelligents...remember what Ann Coulter said, "If democrats had any brains, they'd be Republicans."

I’ve known “intelligent” people who could barely function.
Without proper application, intelligence is worthless, even likely detrimental.

The easiest way to identify a liberal is by the lobotomy scar.

So do you think there are environmental types who are conservative? I suppose but not likely to ban H2o;

Or these people, are they smarter than the average Republican?;

I would say the average democrat watches the TV and is effectively brainwashed by the left wing media.
Those who go outside that medium and are critical thinkers I believe are more conservative.

Control freaks. Control freaks are that because they have issues of insecurity. They are really bigoted and racist.

I was behind a car this morning plastered with liberal bumper stickers. One said “ignorance is the real threat” and I thought what irony.....
