I really shouldn't
say "you" in the heading as I would imagine most people who read this
blog have similar opinions and intelligence to mine. But, saying I'm smarter
than most tea-bagging conservatives isn't
as inflammatory and for the most part pretty obvious. Want proof?
Where We Get Information:
A study done by the
Fairleigh Dickinson University, polled 612 people to find out that people who
watch Fox News actually know less than people who don't watch the news at all.
People who listen to NPR (me/you) or watch Sunday morning news know way more.
Grammar:
Yes, I do tend to
make spelling errors and grammar errors often when posting to this blog. But,
should I ever go protest something, I'd probably spellcheck my sign first
unlike these teabonic retards.
Religion:
When you point out
flaws in their religious views or the out of context passage from the bible
they are quoting, they respond with anger and hatred. Just like Jesus would.
Physical Health:
Now, this isn't all
situations as a few friends of mine are a little overweight and also happen to
be super intelligent people. But, according to multiple studies on the benefits
of exercise the average overweight red state resident does show a corolation
between weight and political agenda and intelligence.
Personally I have
started to put on a bit of a belly, so I've started eating better and
exercising. Would I say it makes me
smarter? Probably not, but I do feel healthier.
Global Climate Change:
It's easy to pretend
something bad like global warming doesn't exist, or that God will save us. But
global warming is real, whether people believe in it or not. And when
scientists and intellectuals believe in something, and rednecks and tea-baggers
don’t, I think I'll put my hat in with the higher IQ crowd.
Low Quality Pseudo-Reality Television
History channel,
Discovery Channel, TLC (formerly The Learning Channel) and the big 4 are all
full of reality television showing off dumb Americans looking for a few minutes
of fame. We used to have history on the history channel, now we have truck
drivers, driving trucks.
In Summary
Personally I tend to
take studies with a grain of salt, as they can be misleading in the sources of
information, number of people used, ages, locations, etc. But, when reading
multiple studies done over time in multiples areas, it's pretty obvious, I may
not be smarter than you, but I'm certainly smarter than the average
conservative, republican voting, church
going, American.
