Low IQ, conservative beliefs linked to prejudice

I wonder if the President agreed to do that Yahoo interview if they agreed to print anti-conservative articles?

Attack the problem, don't use it as a political tool.
 
how do you fix the problem when it manifests in the form of (example) rural east "tennesseans" who think having a MAILBOX is "modern technology" & truly believe Obama is a muslim & still proudly wave the confederate flag & consistently vote republican? these ppl who would gladly hang a black person as soon as look @ them & think computers are "works of the devil."

i think the article is point out what alot of ppl already know.

that's not to say you won't find prejudice in other areas BUT when you look @ certain paterns poor, rural areas where tere are low income/low educated ppl tend to self identify & vote republican.

I agree with you CF...but I wonder if being prejudiced makes you conservative?

I know lots of conservatives who are not prejudiced. However, I know lots of racist and uneducated bigots, and they are all conservative (in terms of voting republican at least and repeating conservative tenets, see below). It can be argued that true conservative principles hold no place for bigotry; however, principles do not get to choose followers, followers choose certain principles to which they ascribe themselves.

Take states rights and limited Federal gov for example, definitely a conservative principle and race-neutral in theory. However, if you preferred your school segregated, gay sex illegal, no affirmative action, Jim Crow, no equal rights for women...then you also love states rights and hate the Federal gov as it ended all of those practices.
