I can't say I'm surprised. This definitely validates thoughts that have been existing in the general public for awhile.
Best part of the study: "Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases."
So all you Mitt supporters, make sure you read the ballot carefully and ask for any needed help when voting!

Exactly. If conservatives are such "low thinkers", why is it all the super-intellectual liberals haven't been able to stop the country's steady move to the right over the past 40 years? Even the most successful Democrat President over the past 40 years, Bill Clinton, was a moderate to conservative. You would think it would be easy for obviously intellectually superior human beings to run circles around the rest of us and get everything they want. Or, wait ... maybe that's exactly what has been happening!
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

Laura Ingraham was guest hosting The O’Reilly Factor last night, and she went on the attack against Al Gore. She claimed that Gore’s climate change position has been very profitable for him. To make her point, Ingraham used doctored video of Gore’s recent congressional testimony that omitted Gore saying that he donates all of his profits back to the cause.
