Conservatives are stupid, right?

How exactly did Conservatives become associated with unintelligent red necks?  And on the other side of the coin how did Liberals get the reputation for being smart and educated?

All the wealthy and successful people I know are conservatives.  They own fine homes and businesses, play the stock market, their kids go the private schools.  These are people who go to college and expect that same of their children and such.

Conversely I've known a number of liberals who really weren't so bright.  People who are well into their 40s who have no savings for retirement, people who exercise no authority over their children.  People who run out to the car dealership every year to lease some new car they can barely make payments on.  Burnt out dead heads who still think it's cool to get high, et cetera.

I know both sides have their fair share of each kind, but from my experiences it looks like conservatives have a reputation they don't really deserve.  They tend to be unwilling to look through another culture's point of view, and unfortunately take to religion, but so far as I know most conservative people are educated and good with money.

GTFO of 4chan and go to the fuckin fox forums or somethin you stupid hillbilly

Too bad conservatives have lost their way, because what they should ( and used to) preach was less national more regional gov't laws. Now with conservatives in charge all I see is every little fucking thing going to the supreme court.

The reason everything goes to the supreme court is more along the lines of what was stated by >>40. People are not educated to the degree where we can even sort out our own social problems. The truly wealthy do not have the same kind of problems the rest of us do. Do you hear them, the truly powerful, quibbling about abortions or homosexuals? I find it very hard to believe that John Kerry or Al Core or Bush or Clinton or any of these politicians give a fuck. They know that America was fucked the moment we sold our country in the early nineteen hundreds.

Why do libertarians either own a hedge fund or more than 3 rifles?
