Why do liberals think they are smarter than conservatives when  conservatives are smarter than liberals?

Give me some proof that Conservatives are smarter and I'll listen.\nHowever, Liberals (and I speak from experience) think they're smarter because they have some pre-conceived idea that Conservatives are, well, conservative. As in, stuck in the fifties. And Liberals, being stuck in the seventies, are obviously more advanced.\n\nLol!

That's a trick question, isn't it? Liberals don't grow up.

I find most people tend to vote based on what their family or peers do. Why do the Liberals act so conservative? Why do the Conservatives act so liberal? Simple. Votes. They appeal to a wider range of the population this way. Plus this just tells you what you want to hear. Which proves what most of us think...they are all the same.

I haven't noticed this, but I might have an answer...\n\nLiberals like to check with the people, to make their vioces heard.  Conservatives just go and make a decision, without looking at all the facts.

This is funny, I'm sorry but it's SO true! Liberals think they are smart or "educated" and yet they are total fools! Very funny!

As a moderate, I find conservatives difficult to have an intelligent conversation. Many of them seem to have the "know it all" attitude and are very set in their ways and unable or unwilling to compromise. Far left liberals are the same way.  \n\nBuddy, it cuts both ways. Why not having a political discussion without labeling people? Just debate the ideas and be open to new ideas? \n\nI am convinced that most Americans are heartedly tired of the liberal vs. conservative ideological debate because it will be argued forever while problems go unsolved.

Democrats are not dumb.  I know several who are very intelligent.  They just tend to be like sheep.  They believe everything any liberal says as if it where the word of God himself.  Just look at the garbage on moveon.org and you'll see what I mean.  Don't judge our democratic friends, just help educate them.

Maybe because they listen to the spew of the media without knowing truly about what really happens. Maybe because they would rather follow an agenda than use some common sense. Maybe because they are so willing to buy into anything that supports their uninformed opinion based on little real life experience.\n\nWho knows why the liberals are like they are.

I think it's because young people are used to having someone else do for them and they haven't had enough life experiences to weigh against what they've been taught in school by their left-leaning teachers and professors. I have found that the "FACTS" do not support many things that I was taught in school. Liberals have misused this mechanism of learning by chanting over and over as fact things that are simply untrue.

The word Liberal and Conservative don't mean SHIT! The assholes that like to lable themselves conservatives are usually rich sons of bitches or the mindless minons that believe the bullshit they shovel.\n\nFor the most part the conservatives who label people liberal are usually a bunch of freaks and weridos who are equally rich political lap dogs of the wealthly who are using the equally blind for support to get elected. These people also don't do shit for the people. \n\nThe words liberal and conservative don't fit the true definition of the word(s). \n\nLiberate, to set free\nConservation, to protect, or not waste\n\nIt all a bunch of bull shit and if you use these words to label yourself or lable someone else you're an idiot and a minon of the mass media. \n\nFor the most part I agree with you that the so called "conservatives" seem to be are card carrying members of the NRA and enjoy NASCAR. (Right Wing minons)\n\nAnd the so called liberals are a bunch of wanabe hippies.

Excellent question and I bet that you will not get an intelligent answer.  If liberals were truly open minded you would have balanced political representation at all Colleges & Universities, instead of the typical 80 - 20% split that currently exisits.  If liberal were truly open minded they would not attack Christianity and defend it like they do other religions.  Liberals are the epitome of doulble standards.

because there are more idiots in the world than there are liberals.

I think this goes for both liberals and conservatives.  It's just more obvious to you when you are on the receiving end of it.

Liberals. Because they are aware of the Conservative movement sweeping the nation and there is nothing they can do about it.

we share similar but different views on politics and life. im just me. if you want to call me a liberal than whatever but i dont see myself belonging to any groups. mainly because i cant agree 100% with an individual group. my political ideas are intermingled. i would say though that i am more liberal than conservative. my parents are more conservative but have a few liberal ideas too. they are good people.

1. young people are less wise, perhaps, because they lack experience. This isn't the same as intelligence. A lot of older people bypass wisdom and just get jaded instead.\n\n2. Political beliefs are based on any number of things, and, as you've noticed, listening to political debates of late, wisdom isn't always a feature. There are stupid liberals and stupid conservatives. There are also some very clever liberals.\n\n3. That's not what allegorical means.
