Liberals are smarter than Conservatives
by TAT
Galileo was a liberal. It took conservatives 300 years to admit they were wrong. Why do you think there are so many Liberal Arts Colleges in the U.S.?? Name one College of Conservative Arts. Even Liberty University is a derivative of the word "liberal"

So what if I am a conservative who went to a liberal arts college? What does that mean? Your rationale makes zero sense.

I'm not surprised liberals won this test, it is a reactionary test. Liberals are ready to forsake everything for a new idea regardless of historical data to the contrary. Conservatives, by training or choice, learn to evaluate the pro's and con's of issues, therefore, they tend to hold back from an immediate knee jerk response.

One of my close friends is very conservative, he has is a Dr., a fellow and he is a research scientist. He is one of the brightest people I know.

This test measures one level of brain performance, recognition. How about trying to measure deduction and reason not just quick idenditfication!

Anyone who puts faith in this study could only be a liberal. Why? 2 Reasons; 1) ego and 2) because they haven't spent the time or effort to look deeper than a momentary "M" or "W".

Your response makes no sense.Reminds me of something I once heard. "If you're conservative at age 20, you have no heart. If you're conservative at age 40, you have no head." However, I will say that the best and brightest "20 somethings" can think beyond all the screaming liberal propaganda--so there is hope for the future. And "Liberal Arts" has nothing to do with politics---- you nincompoop.

I followed you up to the last paragraph... You don't support your conclusions that liberals are egocentric or shallow. I am liberal who hates the black-and-white labels, and who respects the necessity of intelligent conservatism. We need two voices-- one for stability, one for progress. Ideally, we should each have some of both in our heads. Stereotyping either side ignores the complexity of identity-- and, despite your articulate vocabulary, it makes your reasoning look dumb.
