There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.
The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies (http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=12vjhjcv3/EXP=1328825946/**http%3A//www.livescience.com/16746-conservatives-disgust-political-views.html), the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.
Tell me what portion of the populace voted for the Marxist based solely on race?
And this idiot expects us to believe conservatives are prejudiced?
You Fudd and all libs like you own racism in this country.

I find it rather telling that Fudd would find the need to allay his own prejudices by posting a piece that, out of desperation tries to imprint their own lack of values on the innocent.
In other words, they allay their own guilt by blaming others....

Libs are racist in that they assume all women and minorities should hold to their ideology, and those that don't are branded "sellouts" and smeared in the same racist tactics they accuse conservatives of.
Libs need felons, illegals, anti-American marxists and communists, wrist slashing transvestites, and welfare dependants for votes, while conservatives need productive people who work for a living.

Why do we think conservatives are ignorant?
well, they re-elected Bush AFTER finding out the he LIED about the WMD in iraq.
They believe in "trickle down economics" even though after 30 years of it, it still hasn't worked.
They believe in Deregulation, even though every economist on the planet traces the global crash to the deregulation if the banking industry!
They think Michelle Bachmann was a viable candidate!
I mean seriously guys,
Oh and now Gingrich want a base on the Moon!

There will be exceptions to either one of these groups but liberals are blinded to the fact that almost 50% of our people are dependent on the government for hand-outs. The other 50% is tired of giving it to them. Now, Obama says it's not enough. If you've worked your ass off for years to make a comfortable living, then Obama wants you to spread that money around to the ones that sit on their ass all day and watch soaps.
Now, what's fair about that?
As for our candidates, most of us have no control over who runs on the republican ticket. The republican nominee is decided long before it gets to my state. Sometimes, you have to vote for the lesser of two evils.

True Holly and liberalism also goes against human nature to compete, in turn making the economy weaker.
But give someone just enough to exist on and you remove their drive to compete.
Why should I work if I don't have to, especially when the gov steals from those that do, so why work, the Gov will just take my money and give it to some other loser not willing to work.
The end result is always the same, those that produce look for other countries that are not going to steal the fruits of their labor, in turn, leaving no one left to produce and pay taxes.
This of course leads inevitably to communism where the state takes over industry because no one is left willing to work and have their profits stolen by a lib/socialist gov.

I couldn't have said it better Hollie. The government takes away the drive to succeed that people have. I once told a neighbor of mine who was on welfare to get off her ass I was tired of supporting her. She sold pot on the side to be able to afford her own stash and regularly traded her WIC (for her son) for cash or beer. These are the people who vote liberal just to keep getting something for nothing.

And you are proud of this...why? Academia has become the modern day Luddite movement...only difference being that the British Government successfully put down the original anti-industry movement in the early 19th Century while the progressive governments of the 20th and 21st Centuries became the true-believers and followed the message of the Academics by destroying our technology. Instead of the machine-breaking of their 19th Century predecessors, these progressive governments over-regulated our resources (in the name of ecology) and overtaxed or over-unionized our industries (in the name of entitlements) until all our manufacturing had to move into the Third World (where no regulations, taxes or unionization exists) to survive. The United States has now become a service industry nation...we extract no natural resources and manufacture nothing.

Obama: My Plan Makes Electricity Rates Skyrocket (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTxGHn4sH4#)
He stated under his plan energy prices would sky rocket, and they have.
Is this not destroying our economy?
Electric bills have skyrocketed in the last five years, a sharp reversal from a quarter-century when Americans enjoyed stable power bills even as they used more electricity.

More electricity use at homes and higher prices are driving up power bills.
File photo by Jim Cole, AP
More electricity use at homes and higher prices are driving up power bills.Households paid a record $1,419 on average for electricity in 2010, the fifth consecutive yearly increase above the inflation rate, a USA TODAY analysis of government data found. The jump has added about $300 a year to what households pay for electricity. That's the largest sustained increase since a run-up in electricity prices during the 1970s.
Electricty is consuming a greater share of Americans' after-tax income than at any time since 1996 — about $1.50 of every $100 in income at a time when income growth has stagnated, a USA TODAY analysis of Bureau of Economic Analysis (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/Bureau+of+Economic+Analysis) data found.
Greater electricity use at home and higher prices per kilowatt hour are both driving the higher costs, in roughly equal measure:
•Residential demand for power dropped briefly in 2009 but rebounded strongly last year to a record high. Air-conditioners and household appliances use less power than ever. A new refrigerator consumes half the electricity as a similar one bought in 1990. But consumers have bigger houses, more air-conditioning and more electronics than before, outpacing gains in efficiency and conservation.

More conservative VOMIT! (using TAXED's own words)
Medicare is NOT welfare
SS is NOT welfare (in fact you may know it's something WE pay into, you do know that right?)
I think the quote about 50% of the population being "dependent" on the government was from Josie.
Your info is not helping her prove squat, in fact it proves ME to be only one dealing in fact here.
Another bit of conservative propaganda TOTALLY unsupported by any evidence!
Look back under my last post and click on the link.

this would be conservative propaganda totally unsupported by any statistics, TAXED!
care to back that up with FACT!
And for the "challenged" conservatives, that would be GDP, exports, manufacturing. ALL up.
Hussein is a Marxist. That's like having to prove the sky is blue.
Fun with idiots...

YOUR link shows the 50% OF THE BUDGET to be MEDICARE, SS, OTHER ASSISTANCE
Then I said

NOW, is when YOU tell me how Medicare and SS are welfare!
That should be what you post, a rebuttal to what I said.
NOT "look at my link"
(I did, how else would I know that is shows 50% to be Medicare and SS and "other")
DO you guys actually deal in facts? or is this always going to be ME with facts and you guys making stuff up and pretending you got something?

More conservative propaganda!
'the political, economic, and social principles and policies advocated by Marx; especially : a theory and practice of socialism including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society"
Ya, that's what's happening. :)) :))
classless society is a LONG way off.
Is the sky falling too? AND is there a wolf in this story?
