Socialist Obama & Democrats Destroying America

This article is from speaknowamerica.org and always makes me laugh. The contact information is in the body of the article if you e-mail this person. They seem pretty level-headed.

Socialist Barack Hussein Obama, Comrade Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the Democrats want to destroy the American economy. By destroying the economy they get more power and control. For these socialist it’s all about power and control. Socialist Obama has been President for less than 75 days. With the help of Comrade Pelosi and Reid the socialist Obama has amassed more debt for America than all previous Presidents combined. In conjunction with this drunken spending binge the Federal Reserve has cranked up the printing press and is turning out 100’s billions of dollars.

Every day the socialists come up with more spending plans. What has all of this spending and proposed spending done for America and the economy? For America it has put our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren so deep in debt they’ll never be able to pay it all off.

The economy with trillions of dollars already spent is in a steep downward spiral. Unemployment is going up each day. Manufacturing is declining daily. The socialists Obama, Reid, and Comrade Pelosi have a new solution every day. It’s simple they come up with another spending plan. More money America doesn’t have.

There is only one answer to the crazy socialist actions. They want to destroy America. The socialists want to destroy the American economy, they want to destroy democracy and the capitalist society. Socialist Obama, Reid, and comrade Pelosi want to make America socialist.

To help pay for these stimulus bills and the pork these socialists are selling America to foreigners. Foreigners are buying American property sight unseen. Even worse the Chinese have lent America more than a trillion dollars so far and now China is already starting to tell the socialists what to do.

The socialists are destroying America. They are eliminating the chance for our children to have a chance at the American dream. The socialists’ bailouts and stimulus bills are destroying this great country. Socialist Obama, Reid, Comrade Pelosi, and the Democrats want to destroy America.

Liberals smarter than conservatives, Republicans smarter than Democrats

The General Social Survey includes a ten item vocabulary test, coded WORDSUM, which is likely strongly correlated with intelligence. This is an opportunity for us to determine whether liberals and Democrats are smarter than conservatives and Republicans.

For the purpose of this comparison, I consider a high vocabulary score to be 9 or 10 correct answers on the vocabulary test (WORDSUM 9-10).

LIBERALS ARE SMARTER THAN CONSERVATIVES

Of those who consider themselves “liberal” or “extremely liberal” (POLVIEWS 1-2), 20.8% had high vocabulary scores.

Of whose who consider themselves “conservative” or “extremely conservative” (POLVIEWS 6-7), only 13.8% had high vocabulary scores.

REPUBLICANS ARE SMARTER THAN DEMOCRATS

Of those who identify as Republican (PARTYID 5-6), 15.6% had high vocabulary scores.

Of those who identify as Democrats (PARTYID 0-1), only 11.9% had high vocabulary scores.

ANALYSIS

This is an extremely surprising result. Because there is a strong correlation between liberal and Democrat, and between conservative and Republican, I would have assumed that if something were true for liberals it would also be true for Democrats, and the same for conservatives and Republicans.

My hypothesis is that people consider many factors when determining if they are liberal or conservative, including leftist or rightist orientation (leftist being liberal), religiosity (religious being conservative), and attitudes corresponding to what’s considered “Openness” in the Five Factor personality model (with Openness being liberal).

But when people decide which party to vote for, a major factor is how much money they make and/or what social class they consider themselves a part of. People who are of a higher social class or make more money (both of these factors correlating with higher intelligence) are more likely to vote Republican.
