Quote:"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." -British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (aka Benjamin Israel), "the founder of modern Conservatism", member House of Lords and House of Commons, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield and member of the Conservative Party, who was "damped" (baptized) Jew, from his "novel", CONINGSBY "Disraeli descended from Italian Sephardic Jews from both his maternal and paternal sides. His father was the literary critic and historian Isaac D'Israeli who, though Jewish, in 1817 had Benjamin baptised in the Church of England, following a dispute with their synagogue. The elder D'Israeli (Benjamin changed the spelling in the 1820s by dropping the foreign-looking apostrophe) himself was content to remain outside organized religion." -Wikipedia, British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Disraeli "The Norman Jews were primarily moneylenders, because they could not own land nor participate in trades (except for medicine). Catholic doctrine held that moneylending for interest was a sin; therefore, Jews dominated this business. Toward the middle of the seventeenth century a considerable number of Marano merchants settled in London and formed there a secret congregation, at the head of which was Antonio Fernandez Carvajal. They conducted a large business with the Levant, East and West Indies, Canary Islands, and Brazil, and above all with the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. In the 1650s, Menasseh Ben Israel, a rabbi and leader of the Dutch Jewish community, approached Oliver Cromwell with the proposition that Jews should at long last be readmitted to England. The first Jewish Lord Mayor of London, Sir David Salomons, was elected in 1855. By 1882, 46,000 Jews lived in England and, by 1890, Jewish emancipation was complete in every walk of life. Since 1858, Parliament has never been without Jewish members." -Wikipedia, History of the Jews in England (links to history of the Jewish Lords Rothschild-Bauer) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_England Terrorism. The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation. -Webster Dictionary, 1913 (referring to the US/British Communist Revolution in Russia) "It is necessary secretly - and urgently - to prepare the Terror. What we need is more Red terror. More and more and more. Put more force into the terror!" —Vladimir Lenin, Jewish Bolshevik Communist dictator of Soviet Russia, letters to the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars (Richard Grenier, The Washington Times, "Vladimir Lenin as Genghis Khan," October 8, 1996; Dr. Texe Marrs, The Power of Prophesy, "Gulag USA: Concentration Camps in America," December 2002; Dr. Texe Marrs PhD, Captain USAF Intelligence, Power of Prophesy, "Legacy of the Illuminati: Revolution of Blood," January 2001) www.texemarrs.com "RED TERROR" -official newspaper of the Communist Party in Russia that genocided 60-million Russian citizens (Communism was invented in London, England, where Luciferian Masonic Jew Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto for global (White European Khazarian AshkeNAZI Maranos fake) "Jewish" takeover of the world) "Government control of Communications and Transportation." —Communist Manifesto, 6th Plank, written by Jew Karl Marx in London, England (the table Marx wrote the Commie Manifesto is enshrined in the London Museum) "You may say that the GOYIM will rise upon us, arms in hand, if they guess what is going on before the time comes; but in the West we have against this a maneuver of such appalling terror that the very stoutest hearts quail - the undergrounds, metropolitans, those subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, will be driven under all the capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown into the air with all their organizations and archives." -Protocols of the Lerned Elders of Zion, 33rd Degree, Protocol 9, Paragraph 13 (published in 1905 in London and Russia and sold in Walmart, preparing for the US/British Communist Revolution that genocided 60-million Russians) www.biblebelievers.org.au/przion1.htm Semite. 1 a : a member of any of a number of peoples of ancient southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and ARABS - b : a descendant of these peoples - 2 : a member of a modern people speaking a Semitic language. —Merriam Webster Dictionary "A 'Semite' is any person living in that area, including Arabs and Christians. It's time we start talking about 'The Other AntiSemitism'. A Semite is not a Jew living in America or Europe." —Ralph Nader (Arab-American from Lebannon), Independent presidential candiate in 2008, Reform Party presidential nominee in 2004, Green Party presidential nominee in 2000, Arab-American Business conference, C-SPAN, 2003

Quote:Well, you have to be careful about studies like these, they're rarely without bias of their own. I actually don't look at political ideology in terms of left or right, but more of a grid pattern. The dynamic between left and right wing has changed over the last couple centuries, but in general, left wing is representative government, and right wing is the existing power in competition with representative government. Originally right wing was the interests of the monarchy and church, and left wing wanted more of a republic. Nowadays, right wing is the corporations and the church, and left wing is civil rights and welfare through the government. Neither one is necessarily all good or all bad. It is possible to divide left and right from the concept of authoritarian versus anti-authoritarian. The article here is specifically talking about authoritarian right wing ideology. However, the question it's asking, about whether low intelligence leads to prejudice or vice versa, is probably the wrong question to ask. Prejudice seems to exist somewhat independently of intelligence, or lack thereof, it seems to be pre-existing before a right-wing authoritarian movement can attempt to benefit from it. However, I'll agree that the two are a very serious problem when both are in evidence.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:from phrenology to IQ tests. He quite legitimately pointed out that these tests were/ are based on assumptions and carry their own built-in biases. And BTW the cultural biases in the IQ tests have NEVER been addressed.They still exist today embedded in the questions.
Quote:Jensen disputed that. Though I can't summarized his position (not having read it) the summaries I have read indicate that he believed quite strongly his tests, and results, were apolitical facts. Tha doesn't sound like a liberal to me, or even a scientist.

Quote:My understanding is about 20% of the population is conservative, 20% of the population is liberal, 10% is undecided, and 40% is independent. Your 40-50% who have no political compass, are you saying they have no moral compass either? Are you equating political activity with morality?
