The Villager II, you can private message the forum administrator and ask him to correct your spelling in the title. I've misspelled words in the title of posts and it isn't a very good feeling to realize you can't go back and correct it on your own. Signed: a compassionate, high-level thinking conservative.

Being a conservative, I am used to that. I wondered why everyone was talking about spelling. I even looked at my own post and still did not catch it. I really cant spell, so I always use spell check. You just taught me that spell check don't look at the title. Thanks . Sometimes my spelling is so far off that spell check can't figure it out. LOL I was raised to believe liberal was a four letter word don't ya know.

I was drafted in 65'...couldn' t afford college and spent my time with fast cars and fast women..

I returnd in 67 and was horrified to learn how the distinctions were made regarding service,when I was drafted there was no lottery,if you were 19,single,not in college,you were outta here..If you knew the right people you could get into the coast guard...they had waiting lists for community college..It truly was a "poor man's" war..It was a sad chapter in the history of our country...I belong to the village vva and it is one of the largest organizations in Florida,over 450 members..Close to 5000 people eligible in the villages alone..we raise money for the wounded vets, and scholarships for local kids..We recently introduced to the school's libraries, factual histories (without the gore) , of this country's involvement in southeast asia..I have a sticker on my golf cart, "Never again will one generation of veterans forget a previous one"..
Hat's off to all the brothers in arms, no matter when they served...

I spent March 67 thru March 68 in the Viet Nam jungles and when the shells are zipping all around you, you wish you would have been a capitalist with the money to buy a deferment.

I have been reading about the connection between Higher intelligence and liberal thinkers. Everything points toward liberals being in the group with the highest IQ. It does make sense and I can see where having a higher understanding of not only yourself, but of others around you would cause you to be more liberal. If you don't have the ability to analyze all aspects of a situation thoroughly, you would more likely fall into a more primitive mode of self protection at all cost. Hence studies indicate that the high level thinkers tend to be liberal.

The intelligentsia are so far removed from reality living in their academic world that is in constant extensions of theory. Or as I have said they intellectualize themselves into stupidity. e.g War is bad so under no circumstances should we fight a war....shades of Hilter. The above stated post would suggest that conservatives are not thinkers and that liberals have the market on creativity. Actually what we have are two different approaches to problem solving Methinks William Buckley would get a kick out of this assertion

What is most troubling about the liberal intelligentsia and damaging to them is their arrogance. Arrogance has beset even the most intelligent among us

So the liberals at Science Daily have concluded that liberals are smarter than conservatives. Gee, who woulda thunk it?
1) Please post links to support your accusation that Science Daily is liberal. You ask for links all the time...

2) I just finished reading the article and it was based on research, not opinion. You sound like you are accusing someone of falsifying date, which is a serious matter. A very serious matter.

BTW (and I know you did not say this Richie), I know how to convert a recipe for 4 into one for 7. But that has nothing to do with having common sense. It has to do with basic math skills. General intelligence, mathematical skills and verbal skills are somewhat correlated, but not the same thing. You can be genius IQ in verbal and average in math.

I guess I'm liberal. I always thought I was a conservative. If I want people to think I'm smart I guess I will have to admit that I am a liberal.

Don't you just love that liberal way of thinking?

Good post. I agree.
Yes, they have that smug elitist attitude and mockery is their favorite comeback which shows that the research is flawed.

Liberal arrogant, conservatives dumb. Gee, see this is what happens when you paint everyone with a certain world view the same way. Like I said...see the shades of gray.....I am democrat who supports the death penalty, patroling our borders, people taking individual responsibility for their actions and dispise the general sense of entitlement so many people have...Talk about arrangant...Buckley's picture is next to the word in the dictionary.

I agree 100%.

And we all know that high IQ in a person with no common sense or no practical wisdom gained by life experience......is basically useless in public leadership and problem solving.

Ladydoc: o was my father a democrat but he would have never supported one policy offered by tis Amion.

I am afraid you have confused the words liberal and Democrat and conservative and Republican. They do not have the same meanin as one can be a blue dog Democrat. or a Republican liberal

My comments were directed at those elitist liberals that believe that the little people lack inteligence and are just misguided


Hope this clarifies i becasue my wife want me t put the steaks on the grill now

That describes a Personal Message I received from someone who posts here frequently. She apparently thought I was one her ilk. ( apparently she never really read my posts LOL) When I set her straight she put me on her ignore
list. Man, was she a snobby.
