No. A liberal is no smarter than a conservative any more than a tortoise is more turtle like than a terapin.

BTW.....I did not open your link. I sense there are punjis at the bottom of that pit, you naughty boy.........

Sorry gentlemen,

I do not know how that happened ???? But I corrected the link.

The results of this study seem fair and balanced, and I'm sure that those of you of the liberal persuasion will enjoy this

So, the synopsis is thus;

Cavemen were distrustfull of people with dissimilar genetic make-up (And so is the GOPs "mystery constituency" or "certain demographic" as it were.) They also believe staunchly in "survival of the fittest, natural selection"-----Social Darwinism basically, wherein the troop simply leaves the sick, physically/mentally inferior and elderly to die rather than be burdened with caring for them. Therefore, rightwingers, being as socially evolved as cavemen, are obviously---superior.

And if you dare to get all uppity and argue with them about it, they will become uncontrollably angry and beat the shyte out of you in gym class.

I see. Excellent article.

(Thank you for confirming my every suspicion about modern day conservatism.)

We have had this debate here before. We all agreed that liberals are risk takers and more intellectually curious.
There is a place for both as risk taking can lead to failures which the conservative naturally protect against.
Both are needed for the successful proliferation of a tribe.
