"Are racists dumb? Do conservatives tend to be less intelligent than liberals? A provocative new study from Brock University in Ontario suggests the answer to both questions may be a qualified yes.

The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood."

Proof is sweet..

What sucks for you is you have to learn how to get along with them. They have a lot of people and a lot of votes. Some compromise it probably a good thing. I think mocking each other isn't.

But carry on. It's working out so well for everyone!

I would like to see a study correlating creativity with political affiliation.

Because I'm curious. I would like to see a study correlating healthy curiosity and political affiliation, too.

If Huffpo found out that Democrat minorities had on average low IQ scores do you think they would publish that?
