So... how can a person call themselves "Liberal" and back all kinds of laws removing personal freedom at the same time? Doesn't quite sound like high comprehension.
These studies linking "Liberalism" (I use the term loosely, it's not classical Liberalism they're referring to) being linked to having a higher IQ, and "Conservatism" (also used loosely, they seem to think "Conservative" means ignorant and unable to think) are hilarious. And all of them are calling a "High IQ" from 101 to 110. Here is a quote from the last one I read, lol: "Bailey also said that these preferences may stem from a desire to show superiority or elitism, which also has to do with IQ. In fact, aligning oneself with "unconventional" philosophies such as liberalism or atheism may be "ways to communicate to everyone that you're pretty smart," he said. " Uh, no, darling, that desire would be about having a HUGE EGO, not a HUGE IQ. Ego and IQ are NOT intrinsically linked, kiddo, you can be dumb as a stump and believe yourself a genius... A person with a high IQ WITHOUT an EGO problem would not DESIRE TO SHOW IT by aligning themselves with anyone. Go back to college so you can learn how to comprehend things better... no wait, please don't, never mind. Get a regular job, learn about reality for a while.
If there is no Conservatism, then there is a tendency to destroy and forget what previously worked very well, what was built by previous generations with blood, sweat and tears, including escape from tyranny and building a free society where all citizens are equal.
If there is no Classical Liberalism, then there is a tendency to forget to figure things out and learn new methods.
The definitions of Conservative that the media is trying to present is about sheer ignorance and stubbornness; this is a juvenile misunderstanding of Conservatism. I thought the same thing when I was 14.
The definition of Liberalism that the media is trying to present is really just Anarchy; a true Liberal does NOT seek to destroy what's already tried and true, and does NOT SEEK TO DISRESPECT OTHERS. A true Liberal SEEKS TO IMPROVE, WITHOUT CAUSING MAYHEM AND DESTRUCTION, and DOES NOT TRY TO TEAR OTHERS DOWN just because they believe something they don't AGREE with. That's NOT intelligent progress. You MUST LEARN what people did before to understand why things are the way they are NOW. And you MUST LEARN from DIFFERENT SOURCES, NOT JUST FROM PEOPLE WHO ALL AGREE WITH EACH OTHER AND WHO HAVE A SIMILAR AGENDA. That is called indoctrination.
TRUE LIBERALS SEEK PEACEFUL PROGRESS AND PERSONAL FREEDOM FOR ALL,
THEY DO NOT SEEK ELITISM OR EGO STROKING, THEY DO NOT SEEK TO INSULT OTHERS,
