"Political, religious and sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds."
So began an article published at CNN.com Friday guaranteed to anger conservatives from coast to coast.
The piece continued, "Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs."
Folks are warned about proceeding further, for the content might be really offensive to some (h/tips to NB readers Stan and Chesley):

I think I like this guy.
>> DOES ANYBODY READ?
It also says they “had” higher IQs.
IQ only takes one so far. There is a more important ingredient that Liberal / Leftists lack:

“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.
Smile when you say that, pard....
BS these people are Idiots they create nothing and have a track record of repeating failure after Failure just how is that intelligent? A Dam cockroach learns to move or get stepped on.
How do you like Mensa? I’m thinking of taking the test. Do you find it fun and stimulating or full of pointy-headed egomaniacs?
This doesn’t surprise me. They are constantly telling us so, after all.
And when they go to meet their maker, then they will realize how dumb they were.
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?
So the question is: No One over X IQ believes in God?
Which comports nicely with my idea the liberalism is parasitic, that is it cannot build or maintain anything.
Sometimes I feel like spouting off nonsense before reading or listening. Could I be a closet Liberal?
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.
what other results would you expect from a evolutionary psychologist?
