  1.  Mykel Hardin  That's a generalization, and reflects poorly on your own intelligence. While high-earning conservatives tend to be more educated than liberals, liberals as a whole are more educated than conservatives as a whole (because conservative areas tend to have fewer people, less money, and poorer services like education, healthcare, and nutritional options). Not to mention the fact that conservatives scanned under MRIs tend to have larger amygdalas- they are more prone to fear and distrust. This also makes them more loyal, but at the cost of emotional reactions to adversity. This stems from the simple fact that liberalism, as a mindset, tends to develop in areas where people are more exposed to other cultures and ways of thinking; cities. They shed the primitive evolutionary tendency to fear the unknown group, because they realize that there's nothing to fear (the Puerto Rican at the bodega just isn't trying to rape your kids, sorry Cletus). Rural people, on the other hand, aren't as exposed to ideas and people from outside their little town, which is why poor, isolated areas tend to be more conservative. Switch places, and the political mindsets will switch too.

  2.  Mykel Hardin  Yes! I hope you got it: in this case, generalization = wrong! Conservatives occupy the farthest ends of the spectrum. You have a pocket of highly educated people— and a bunch of Bible thumpers who can't tell their ass from their elbow. So, saying us=good! doesn't cut it. The world isn't black and white, sorry pal. Offended? Where in my first comment did I express offence or even emotion at what you said? Show me specifically where. Sounds to me like you're projecting.
