In This Dimension

This article, and the other linked within it, are good, quick reads for those who believe the current popular conception of Liberals and Conservatives.

Are “Liberals” smarter? Well, yes, they are smarter than “Progressives,” but they are certainly less-informed, and less well-educated and less charitable than Conservatives or Libertarians.

Don’t believe me? These are major polling companies doing the surveys and writing the reports.

The only folks who think Liberals are smart are, well… Liberals. And, of course, the operative word there is “think.” Smart people (Conservatives) KNOW that Liberals aren’t very smart.. it is, of course, why they are “liberal.”

Perhaps Liberals need to read this report of the American Psychological Association to understand their nonsensical feelings of superiority to Conservatives. I first ran across it when musing to a co-worker why it was that smart people knew they were smart but stupid people didn’t know they were stupid. He gave me this report to answer my question.

So - why on earth are we implementing the type of government Liberals want - when they just aren’t very smart?

And - why do so many Americans, again, Liberals, have such a huge inferiority complex that they have to copy the failed demi-Continent of Europe rather than accept that the smart Europeans all came to America, leaving behind only the dregs?

I mean, seriously - has Europe invented ANYTHING in the last hundred-plus years? Nope.
