		<description>Maybe this simply &quot;suggests&quot; that intelligent conservatives don&#039;t waste their time on questionable button-pressing exercises put on by scientific groups - and I use the term loosely here.

The Pensito Review should concern itself with reporting an entire story, and not simply throwing the results of a study up in the air sans context.  Not even a link; for shame, Review. You should know better.


After all, liberals have better brains, right?  lol</description>

		<description>One problem that has come up in this discussion (and others about the study) is the fact that people outside the US use the terms &quot;conservative&quot; and &quot;liberal&quot; in ways that do not correspond to US usage. It is important to remember that the study subjects were self-identifying in terms of the US usage.</description>

		<description>The problem with so called &quot;anarcho&quot; capitalism is that, when corps get enough power and government loses enough power, the corps BECOME the government.

Then you still have a repressive government, just by another name.</description>

		<description>hmm, this doesn&#039;t seem quite right to me. first of all, i&#039;d have to agree with nate that there is a pretty unanimous libertarian sentiment among the most intelligent of people (libertarians, by the way, are conservative to the point of extremism - i.e., a high degree of personal responsibility and true laissez-faire government).

second, assuming that the &quot;conservatives&quot; in this study are actually neo-cons, there&#039;s not that much difference between &quot;conservatives&quot; and &quot;liberals.&quot; i mean, sure, they tend to disagree on hot-topic issues, however in reality their policies are quite similar; by world standards, liberals are actually slightly to the right of center, and conservatives slightly to the right of liberals (just fyi, true socialists and communists are on the far left, and libertarians are far to the right). basically what i&#039;m saying, though, is that for all the bickering, &quot;liberals&quot; and &quot;conservatives&quot; actually agree on most policies (at least that&#039;s what recent history has shown).

finally, i don&#039;t think it&#039;s reasonable to take this article as legitimate: it provides no link or reference to the actual study, which is rather questionable in my opinion; from the names of the links in the &quot;recent articles&quot; section i think it&#039;s pretty safe to assume that this is a liberal-biased news site; and from the presentation of the opposing view (presented weakly, then blasted immediately anyways), it is painfully obvious that the author is liberal-biased as well.</description>
