For decades, my tree hugging, atheist brother thought that he was way smarter than his older sister. But recently I was able to prove him wrong to the point that he was forced to concede to the family that I was way smarter than him. Funny how after a night from hell in ER,(when your mother's life is on the line), it can change one's perspective.

“The study looked at a large sample from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), which began with adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 school year. The participants were interviewed as 18- to 28-year-olds from 2001 to 2002.”
Here is an exerpt from a previous article that was left out. They basically only looked at college age kids. How many of us had liberal tendencies at that age? Probably most of us! These worms left this information out.

This doesn’t surprise me. They are constantly telling us so, after all.

I hope this CNN report brings some comfort to the 300-400 ABC newsroom staff that will soon be cut loose.

If liberal academia paid for this study, why is anyone surprised at the result?
To: kingattax
So the question is: No One over X IQ believes in God?

“Liberals do not prepare for danger, they whine and cry and insist that danger does not exist,...”
Which comports nicely with my idea the liberalism is parasitic, that is it cannot build or maintain anything.

High intelligence is not always an indicator of wisdom. For a high IQ wise man's view of the matter (Thomas Sowell's), go to this thread:

Sometimes I feel like spouting off nonsense before reading or listening. Could I be a closet Liberal?
To: kingattax
Higher IQ’s have been proven to NOT provide a direct correlation with either more knowledge or better sense, which require both character and focus of effort, no matter the IQ.
Many with high IQ’s are simply intellectually lazy. It’s like having a big powerful V8 engine and fueling it with very low octane fuel.
Which is why so many “big IQs” remain comfortably (lazily) seated in the intellectual bubble, intellectually lazy environment of America’s academic institutions, where, in order to survive and “excel”, the highest requirement is a leftists political bias.
