So Joe sent us this link thinking I wouldn’t post it. It’s from NorthwestOhio.com and entitled “Conservatives and racists are actually stupid, study finds<\/a>” and the title is misleading. What the article actually reports is that the stupid become ideologues;<\/p>\n

A new study bound to stir controversy found that people with a low I.Q. are drawn to prejudice, racism and a socially conservative political ideology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ll admit that there are some stupid people who are racists and conservative, but that doesn’t translate to all of us conservatives. In fact, I’ve met more liberal racists than conservative racists. And the article, when it quotes the scientists who conducted this study, doesn’t mention conservatives, it only mentions “ideologies”, not being specific about which one;<\/p>\n

The study’s lead author, Dr. Gordon Hodson, told LiveScience that people with lower intelligence scores are attracted to the “structure and order” of these ideologies because they make it easier to comprehend a complicated world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So apparently, the study says the racist and stupid are attracted to any ideology that allows them to be intellectually vacant – just knee-jerk reactions to any given discussion.<\/p>\n

The editor who wrote that title must be a racist and a conservative because he’s obviously stupid.<\/p>\n

“Reality is complicated and messy,” Dr. Brian Nosek of the University of Virginia, who was not involved in the study, told The Huffington Post. “Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, which ideology could be simpler than an ideology that involves supporting a government solution all of your problems, and throwing other people’s money at the solutions yet never has there been an instance of government ever solving anything? And still the support never wanes for more government solutions. Or throwing for more money at more problems.<\/p>\n

To prove who the stupid ones are, Joe sent me this article without seeing the obvious flaws in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
