text: why do "conservatives" think "liberals" are less intelligent? i mean seriously, do all the people that claim this even have the least bit of evidence.  i would like some cold hard facts.  furthermore, does it make you feel powerful calling someone stupid or less intelligent just because they have different beliefs then you.  finally, isnt america based on the right of personal expression and belief? it isn't that conservatives believe liberals are less intelligent, just illogical.  you can't argue with a liberal and use logic because they will always say, "well i feel".  you can't argue with an emotional person.  liberalism is about guilt.  they feel guilty about being more fortunate than the poor so instead of trying to find an answer logically they want to throw money (usually somebody elses') at it and depend on the government to solve the problem.   as i recall the left likes to call bush stupid when he has a mba from harvard so that door does swing both ways.  everyone has the right to express themselves, but they don't have the right to not be offended.
