If stupid people are conservative, then why do "liberals" do the following:

A) Insist that literacy tests be abolished as a prerequisite for voting. (Wouldn't such tests keep conservatives from voting, and thus elect more "liberals"?)

B) Throw temper tantrums over the use of IQ tests for employment, college admissions, etc.. (Wouldn't such tests weed out the conservative riff-raff?)

C) Constantly promote egalitarianism. (Wouldn't that raise conservatives up at the expense of "liberals"?)

D) Insist that the very idea of IQ is a myth. (Wouldn't that threaten the superior position of the smarter "liberals"?)

E) Insist that intelligence, if it exists at all, is due to environment and not heredity. (Wouldn't that justify affirmative action for conservatives? If we're less intelligent, it must be because we were disadvantaged by a bad environment)

F) Dumb down the schools. (Wouldn't that make the kids more conservative?)

G) Fill the TV screen up with moronic crap like MTV, "reality" dating shows, and Jerry Springer. (Again, wouldn't that move the population to the right?)

H) Open the borders to the most uneducated and low IQ immigrants. (Wouldn't that flood California and other states with ultra-conservatives?)

I) Howl with outrage over special honors classes and other programs to encourage the brightest students to excel. (Wouldn't such programs give the most "liberal" students an early start on their future careers as left-wing activists and politicians?)

J) Prefer public schools to private ones or home schooling, even though the latter two produce the brightest and best educated kids. (Wouldn't smarter kids be to the advantage of "liberalism"?)

I could list other things, but you get the idea. Most "liberals" are nitwits who sit around telling each other how smart they are.

why do "liberals" do the following

Because, at root, liberals really are elitist. They generally cover it up with populist rhetoric, but secretly think that people are too dumb to govern themselves, and thus need their "enlightened" self-anointed leadership. You don't often see one let his guard down like this, and really say what he thinks.

Answer to your questions in order:

The intelligent liberals, IMHO, are so driven by emotion that they go through hoops in their denial of the failure of gov't institutions. Why else would Sylvan's parking lot always be full?
