Safe Mode: On
Liberals are smarter than conservatives

Once again science has confirmed what we already know: liberals and conservatives think differently. Neuroscientists at NYU and UCLA conducted a simple test on college students all along the political spectrum.They were seated in front of computers and given the simple task of pressing a key every time the letter "M" flashed on the screen. Here's the hitch: every once in a while the letter "W" would flash and the subjects were told to not push a key when they saw "W."



Both groups recognized the letter "M" accurately. But when that pesky "W" popped up the conservatives just couldn't help themselves and -- DOH! -- they pushed the key! They simply could not recognize any letter not being "M." They continued to dogmatically stab away at the keyboard not seeing the letter so plainly in front of them. Everyone, of course, was hooked up to electroencephalograms, and liberals EEG's lit up like pinball machines while apprehending and considering all the subtle differences between "M" and "W." They made fewer mistakes and demonstrated a greater subtlety of mind. Conservatives, ever the partisans, just declared "W" was "M" and called it a day.



But lookout! The researchers threw a curveball by reversing the test, flashing "W's" and asking subjects to ignore the "M's." The results were exactly the same. If told"W" is the order of the day, then well, by heck. That's just what they're gonna do. It's that simple.



History has already shown that conservatives are suckers for "W." The letter has some kind of hypnotic effect on them, causing them to jab their index fingers at things -- liberals, mostly. "W" is their kind of letter, all points, aggressive, starting favorite conservative words like "War" and "Wealth" and "Welfare State." If you built a giant "W" out of steel and dropped a liberal on it, he would be impaled through his head, heart and groin. Yee-haw, it's BBQ!



Frank J. Sulloway, a researcher at UC Berkeley's Institute of Personality and Social Research told The Los Angeles Times that the results "provided an elegant demonstration that individual differences on a conservative-liberal dimension are strongly related to brain activity." The Times reports that "liberals were 4.9 times as likely as conservatives to show activity in the brain circuits that deal with conflicts, and 2.2 times as likely to score in the top half of the distribution for accuracy." Thus with one, simple experiment we have solved the mystery of how half our nation fell for the 9/11/Sadaam Hussein boondoggle. W is to M as Sadaam is to Bin Laden. While, they share some qualities (spikey, swarthy, hateful, gun lovin') they were decidedly NOT the same man. But those differences are irrelevant once your mind has been made up for you.



So now its been scientifically proven that liberals are smarter than conservatives. There's no point in gloating: conservatives don't recognize science, either. Just let them continue digging their own spider holes of fuzzy logic and dogmatic umbrage and come November '08 we can use our superior hand-eye coordination and letter-recognition skills to hit all the right letters.

  • Can't a person be both liberal and conservative depending on the issue. Example: I'm conservative when it comes to bestiality, but I'm liberal when it comes to prostitution. :)

    P0wer_C0rrupts: "Im not a liberal but I do find it funny how most conservatives are clueless, and that liberals usually have better jobs and make more money where as conservatives usually don't even go to college thus being less educated and making less money. Enjoy :D"
    I'm a conservative, and I'm willing to take any libs on in any standardized intelligence test.

    We could have some fun with this. Line up a couple of libs, and I'll take 'em all on. More..
    neoconjerk is one of the smarter right-wing Liveleakers here. So is driedjello.

    But powerofone you are correct about leftists being closer to the facts. That being said the extreme left I have no use for, either.

    This site happens to attract a lot of partisans and extremists. Maybe all political sites do."
    Thanks dude.

    I just feel like people are moving the goalposts around when I try to make a point.

    Whenever I point out that Saddam supported terrorist organizations, and cite facts about Salman Pak, the Abu Nidal organization, Islamic Jihad, etc., I am reminded that we supported terrorist organizations like the Mujihideen in Afghanistan.

    When I'm told the Iraq war was based on lies because Saddam didn't have any WMD, I remind them of his use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war and in Halabja. So they come back with "Yeah, and the US goverment supplied them..."

    Whenever I go to the United Nations Security Council resolutions to show how Saddam was in material breach on many, many different accounts and that resuming military action was justified, I have it thrown in my face that our ally Israel is worse because more resolutions have been passed against them.

    Really, it feels like some people just change the subject whenever they've been refuted so they don't have to acknowledge they were either wrong or misinformed.

    • And like always, they are focusing on the wrong response. Conservatives are not clueles as to what letters look like. They have just realized that it is not in the least important and are not so eager to please the teacher.

  • They did a probably more accurate test when they tested Fox News viewers against The Daily Show viewers by asking the same political questions. The Daily Show were able to answer more questions.

    "Despite the emergence of 24-hour cable television news and fast-growing use of internet news sources, the U.S. public's knowledge of national and international personalities and issues is little changed from nearly 20 years ago, according to a new survey released by the Pew Research Centre for the More..

    yeah. Those horrible places where people actually learn shit. Screw those people who can learn from their mistakes and bad judgement. I'd hate to feel guilty about any 'mistakes' I'd made. I wanna feel awesome. If it means the rest of the world has to die for me to feel awesome, well fuck them, I need to feel awesome because I'm a braindead fuckwit with no sense of humanity and would d More..

    Check my source it's a far more concrete example.

  • Comment of user 'afreegreek' has been deleted by moderator!

  • Just more proof that intelligence and common sense are inversely proportional. Yes, liberals are usually more intelligent until they start paying taxes. Then they realize how stupid they've been.
