For those that are unsure, prejudice is defined as a preconceived opinion not based on reason or experience, in other words, you are being unfair and irrational in your attitude towards the subject(s) of your prejudice, normally …

Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, [researcher Gordon Hodson] wrote in an email to LiveScience. … Social conservatives were defined as people …
According to an article published on January 26, 2012 in LiveScience, “People with prejudices most likely have low IQs and are Social Conservatives”.
And according to Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario, “the research indicates that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults.”
“And these findings point to a vicious cycle”.
“Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice.”
In the study, researchers used two forms of intelligence tests and a series of statements supposed to measure social conservative attitudes, statements similar to:
"Family life suffers if mum is working full-time".
"Schools should teach children to obey authority".
And from the replies to the statement they attempted to capture attitudes about race using statements such as:
"I wouldn’t mind working with people from other races”.
Researchers say they found a correlation between having a low intelligence in childhood and holding prejudicial attitudes in adulthood, and the relationship linking the two was social conservatism.
And in a second data set, researchers also claimed to have found a link between poor abstract reasoning skills and homophobia.
* Social conservatism is a political, and usually morally influenced, ideology that focuses on the preservation of what are seen as traditional values. Social conservatism is a form of authoritarianism often associated with the position that the national government, or the state, should have a greater role in the social and moral affairs of its citizens, generally supporting whatever it sees as morally correct choices and discouraging or outright forbidding those it considers morally wrong ones. Source Wikipedia.
It’s important to note that the study refers to social conservatism, not political conservatism, and lead researcher Gordon Hodson, stresses that the researchers weren’t implying that all liberals are smart and all conservatives are dumb.
"There are multiple examples of very bright conservatives and not-so-bright liberals, and many examples of very principled conservatives and very intolerant liberals”. he said.
But Brian Nosek, who is a social and cognitive psychologist at the University of Virginia and not related to the study, told LiveScience.
"They’ve pulled off the trifecta of controversial topics. When one selects intelligence, political ideology and racism and looks at any of the relationships between those three variables, it’s bound to upset somebody”.
Hodson says however that,
“It’s a reasonable to conclude that a conservative ideology might appeal to those who have trouble grasping the complexity of the world. Socially conservative ideologies tend to offer structure and order. Unfortunately, many of these features can also contribute to prejudice”.

THE ANTI LIBERAL ZONE: HOW'S THAT HOPEY/CHANGEY NOW
But to be fair, Obama is just the newest one in a line of Democrat asshats who have stuck it to America like Jimmy "KGB" Karter and the Department of Energy (now a sick joke on America), and BJ Bubba Klintoon who worked …
Those Now Describing Themselves As "Liberals" Are Very Sick People!
And let me be clear from get go that I mean sick in the clinical sense because only a sick person welcomes his own demise.
Liberalism is the manifestation of the sickness and political correctness is the virus that they are spreading!
Starting at the top, or maybe the bottom depending on how you look at it, we have Obama who was an active communist just 13 years ago, and if you don’t believe me then go take a look at, "Obama was a member of the New Party".
There are no ifs, buts and maybes about this and he was no student just 13 years ago.
The list of destructive things that Obama has so far done to the United States is long but two things perhaps show his thinking most emphatically:
Arizona
His reaction the the new Arizona law was that ‘it was irresponsible".
Islamic Terror
His edict that the administration must not refer to "Islamic Terror" or "Muslim Terror" but must use the phrase, "International Terror".
And If you think that I’m exaggerating that just take a look at US Attorney General Eric Holder, refusing to say whether “radical Islam” might have been a factor in recent attempted terrorist attacks.
C’mon, the ONLY international terror is Islamic so why are we denied use of the term?
Political correctness?
Or maybe Obama has other reasons?!
And don’t even dare to mention ‘profiling’ which is desperately needed.
It’s a dirty word, even though profiling would most likely have stopped 9/11, Fort Bragg, and the recent NY bombing attempt, and it would most likely prevent lots of future attacks that are going to be attempted.
The New Law In Arizona
The new law that was adopted by Arizona makes perfect sense and if you’ve read it then you’ll know that there is nothing "racial" about it.
But right now if you’re white and dare to criticize Obama then the lunatic left will call you a racist, but the fact that over 90% of blacks still support Obama in spite of all the damage that he’s doing is somehow OK and not racist?!
More Political Correctness
And how is the lunatic left reacting to the new law in Arizona?
State officials in states like California want to punish Arizona, even though polls show that over 64% of Americans support the law.
Aren’t these officials sick in some way?
Are they pro illegals? Pro people that break the law?
Meanwhile, Obama looks around the US and decides that he wants to model the US economy after California’s broken leftist one!
And the fact that California went bankrupt doesn’t seem to ring any bells!
There is an expression that says, "The fish always starts to rot at the head", and it would seem to be spot on in this case!
Europe Is Dying
Holland has intimated that it will have to accept Sharia law and the UK already has Islamic courts.
Cars are still being burned in Paris every night but it’s no longer news, and storekeepers in parts of France now cower in their shops and cafes when Muslims approach and kick over their chairs and tables.
Swedish police outside a tennis match where Israelis were playing, cowered when Muslims attacked their police cars and threw rocks at them and ripped off their antennas. There is an epidemic of rape in Sweden and it’s Muslims that are raping indigenous Swedes and the police often respond by saying that the women, "probably invited the s**". Much easier than arresting a Muslim and having to quell a demonstration and certainly more politically correct.
Don’t Name The Enemy
European countries that are likely to become Islamisized within 20-25 years are, France, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland with the UK and Spain possibly joining their ranks.
A Muslim UK MP recently forecast that soon there would be a majority of Muslim MPs in the UK and a Muslim woman just became a minister.
How can you defeat an enemy if you can’t name it?
And America
The US now has historic statues being removed from government buildings because they are deemed to be religious.
Muslim taxi drivers at St. Paul airport didn’t want to pick up people that had purchased alcohol at the duty free.
Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas etc and Christians are now under increasing restrictions because what they practice is deemed as offensive to some.
Just before I wrote this I read that Obama had cut anti-terror funding to NY by 27%
What’s To Be Done?
Americans can’t do much about Europe because it’s too late already, and they have too little influence, but they can cut of the head of the lunatic fringe in November.
Vote against anybody and everybody that insists on political correctness and vote only for those that are willing to call a spade a spade.
If you don’t, then the US will follow Europe!
Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler, a Scottish historian who in 1787, writing about the decline and fall of the Athenian Republic over two thousand years before, said:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years and those nations progressed through this sequence".
"From bondage to spiritual faith
From spiritual faith to great courage
From courage to liberty
From liberty to abundance
From abundance to complacency
From complacency to apathy
From apathy to dependence
From dependence back again into bondage".
