Liberalism, atheism, male sexual exclusivity linked to IQ – CNN.com.
It’s interesting to me how they restrict the description of liberalism and conservatism here. It’s merely a way to pervert the findings into what they wanted the survey to say socially.
The study takes the American view of liberal vs. conservative. It defines “liberal” in terms of concern for genetically nonrelated people and support for private resources that help those people. It does not look at other factors that play into American political beliefs, such as abortion, gun control and gay rights.
“Liberals are more likely to be concerned about total strangers; conservatives are likely to be concerned with people they associate with,” he said.
This simply isn’t true. Conservatives, in my view, are in favor or PRIVATE resources being donated VOLUNTARILY to help others. Liberals on the other hand are more in favor or public, or governmental support taken forcibly from others, not necessarily themselves to help others.
I saw a study last year noting that conservatives gave more to charity than liberals. One way that liberals spun this was to say that it was because of the tax benefits they received from it, not from genuine concern for their fellow man.
Of course, religion is also talked about as being for those less intelligent. We’ll see how that turns out in the end, now won’t we?
