Liberals Progressives Democrats The Left pride themselves on being
tolerant, "multicultural," pro-"diversity," open-minded, well-educated,
warm and fuzzy, and oh-so-enlightened bleeding hearts, in contrast to those
intolerant, "nativist," judgmental, hateful, uneducated knuckle-dragging
primitive Conservatives.
Alas, as we amply have experienced in our personal lives and on this blog
where we regularly are insulted, cursed, and threatened with violence and
death (see here
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/birthers-receive-death-threats/>and
here
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/death-threats-made-by-liberals-and-democrats/>),
the Left's description of themselves is just their self-serving
narcissistic fantasy.
How do we know that?
We know that not from our personal prejudice or experiences, but
from social science survey data on the differences between Democrats and
Republicans. (Although Republican and conservative are not synonymous and
not all Republicans are conservative, nevertheless Republicans are more
conservative and right-wing than Democrats.)
It turns out that not only are Republicans more knowledgeable on politics
and current events than Democrats, they are also better educated than
Democrats.
See:
- Republicans more knowledgeable, better educated than Democrats

- Democrats have a lower News IQ

- Pew Research Center finds Republicans are more knowledgeable than
Democrats
<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2010/02/03/republicans-are-smarter-than-democrats/>
*Republicans are also more open-minded, more tolerant of opinions and
beliefs that differ from theirs, and have more empathy for other people.*
Neil Munro reports for The Daily Caller
<http://dailycaller.com/2012/04/22/science-say-gop-voters-better-informed-open-minded/>
that *two 2012 Pew surveys* (“Partisan Differences in Knowledge” and
“Social networking sites and politics”) found that:
*1. Republicans know more about politics and political history than
Democrats:* On 8 of 13 questions about politics, Republicans outscored
Democrats by an average of 18 percentage points. The widest partisan gap in
the survey came in at 30 points when only 46% of Democrats (vs. 76% of
Republicans) correctly described the GOP as “the party generally more
supportive of reducing the size of federal government.”
*2. Republicans are better educated than Democrats: *Pew thinks that
Republicans being more knowledgeable about politics than Democrats is
because the Democrats’ low average rating likely is a consequence of its
bipolar political coalition, which combines well-credentialed post-graduate
progressives who score well in quizzes with a much larger number of poorly
educated supporters, who score badly. For example, the survey reported that
90% of college grads recognized the GOP as the party most supportive of
cutting the federal government. But that number fell to 54% of people with
a high-school education or less. In contrast, the Republican party
coalition is more consistent, and has few poorly educated people and fewer
post-graduates.
*3. Republicans are* not just better informed, they are *more
intellectually consistent, more open-minded, more empathetic and more
receptive to criticism than Democrats. *Democrats are far more likely than
conservatives to disconnect from people who disagree with them:
- 28% of liberals have blocked, unfriended, or hidden someone on social
networking sites like Facebook because of divergent opinions and beliefs,
compared with 16% of conservatives and 14% of moderates.
- 11% of liberals, but only 4% of conservatives, deleted friends from
their social networks after disagreeing with their politics.
*4. *A *Washington Post* poll in March 2012 also showed that *Republicans
are more consistent and honest about their beliefs.* In contrast, Democrats
are more willing to change their views about a subject to make their team
look good.
- In 2006, 73% of Democrats said the GOP-controlled White House could
lower gas prices, but that number fell by more than half to 33% in 2012
once a Democrat was in the White House.
- In 2006, 47% of Republicans believed the GOP-controlled White House
could influence gas prices. By 2012, when a Democrat was in the White
House, that number had risen to 65%, up 17 points compared to the
Democrats’ 40 point shift.
