The title says it all:

Usually I like to stir it up on Facebook with my conservative friends/frenemies, but this was too direct and in your face that it would more than likely tick them off. This article dovetails nicely with my own thoughts based on my own life observations. And I have found this to be pretty accurate. The thrust of the article states that low IQ and Conservative Ideology lead to prejudicial views of other classes of people.

Truer words have never been said.

While the article gives exceptions to the rule, it does correlate to what most people with an inkling of common sense and observational skills can tell you: you lead a sheltered life and aren't intellectually curious, you are more predisposed to be prejudiced and ignorant of other views in the world.

The rest of the story goes into much further depth here:

What is really telling is that I used to be sort of like this many years ago, when I held to a religiously influenced conservative ideology. I outgrew it and most of those tendencies. I have, from time to time, recognized some of the leftovers of that period in my personality to this day. It is almost subconscious and insidious and I try to be cognizant of this mindset. But that I realize it is really a very important first step. I have found that as I search out new ways of thinking outside of the box, the less likely I am to harbor negative feelings and attitudes towards my fellow man (although my ire towards conservatives gets the better of me at times). But this is also kept in check because my thought on that mindset is that I used to be them and I understand the mentality.

All in all, a very interesting study in the article.
