"I do have some modest suggestions ...an intelligence test to earn the right to vote;"

An intelligence test to earn the right to vote?

He is stupid, isn't he? Liberals don't believe in the validity of intelligence tests. Those tests are considered invalid because they don't produce the results liberals like to see (namely that every racial group is equal in intelligence).

The Bell Curve demolished the liberal fantasy that liberals are "smarter" than conservatives, anyway. Liberals do have a small minority of very intelligent voters at the top of the IQ distribution; conservatives are, generally speaking, much more intelligent than liberals.

That is what is so delicious about this suggestion. As a slam against conservatives a liberal would suggest an "intelligence test" to earn the right to vote. But when conservatives agree, watch the liberals backpedal. And you are SO RIGHT! Intelligence tests and SAT scores would exclude groups favored by liberals from MANY colleges and occupations. Hell, for that matter, it would exclude a lot of RATS from ever getting elected!

I think what he has in mind is an "intelligence" test with questions like "What are the negative consequences of American unilateralism?" "Why is it wrong to drive SUVs?" "Name some of the ways in which prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have been mistreated" etc.

How do Lefties deal with these questions: If you're so smart, how come you support tyrants like Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Castro? How come you don't understand how prosperity is produced? How come you can't get it into your noggins that socialism has failed everywhere and every time it has been tried? How come you despise freedom--except the freedom to burn an American flag?

I pledge $20 to support an unbiased research project that will conduct exit polls. The conclusions will determine if there are any trends regarding voting preference and highest level of education obtained along with any criminal convictions. Any Freeper's out there searching for a dissertation project?
