 BTW, while neither has released the actual numbers, quite a number of
 actually non-partisan political analysts (yes they do exist) have
 indicated that Bush probably has a higher IQ than Kerry.

 There are a number of Blog sites that have covered the topic.

 The original story was broken by Steve Sailer
 http://www.vdare.com/sailer/kerry_iq_lower.htm

 and then picked up by other entities like the New York Times and NBC 
 Nightly News, as well as a host of other bloggers.

 Sailor's original post is quite verbose (it makes me sound abrupt), but 
 the gist of it is that Kerry scored in the 50th percentile in the AFQT 
 (Armed Forces Qualifying test) as posted on Kerry's website, and Bush 
 scored in the 75th.

 This blog discusses the collection of blogs discussing the topic.

 http://thrasymachus.typepad.com/thras/2004/10/kerrys_iq.html

 If I remember correctly, it was Tim Russert of NBC who made the comment on 
 several occasions to the effect that, throughout his political career, 
 Bush has been considered dumb by his opponents, to their ultimate 
 consternation; his folksy ways are simply not understood in the Urban 
 centers, and are interpreted as the dumb hillbilly stereotype.

 Interviewed by Brokaw, Kerry had this to say...

 Brokaw:  Do you think he's [Bush's] a smart man?
  Kerry:  I do. Yes, I do think he's a smart man.

 Brokaw:  Do you think too many people in your party underestimate?
  Kerry:  I think people have always underestimated President Bush.  But 
 I'm proud that in those debates, I didn't underestimate him.

While I do not know who has a higher IQ, I do know the dredging through B2 
 K's military record revealed a comparison the Bush people were 
toogentlemanly to use.

Both the Navy's officer candidate program and the Air National Guard/Air 
Force pilot training program do pre-admission testing. Kerry scored in the 50th 
percentile, with the Navy. Bush scored in the 75th percentile, with ANG/AF. 
Obviously, B2 displayed a better aptitude to successfully take tests; just like

Make certain you follow the jump at the bottom of the above table to

It seems that nobody can find the source data, and that the original

I'm the one who posted the IQ chart correlating IQ and votes in the  
2000 election. As the humor contributor, I am the one that tracks  
down amusing stories or cartoons to post here at the American  
Assembler.

It was irresponsible of me to post this chart in this format and I  
apologize to the American Assembler and it's readers for having done  
so. It was never my intent for anyone to take this seriously and I  
erred in judgment in not realizing that people would. Even if this  
chart is not a hoax, as it most probably is, it was inappropriate to  
post it for it is simply offensive.

Why is the democratic process pathetic simply because the majority of
americans disagreed with you or I?  If it had gone the other way you
wouldn't be saying the same thing by why would it be any less pathetic to
you?  Simply because your side won?  The same statement you made would be
coming from the mouths of the republicans.

vision of the annointed ?

I will mark this up to misguided disappointment.  It would serve this
country and its inhabitants considerably if all sides had some respect for
the democratic process even if their candidate didn't win.  This shortage
of tolerance for opposing viewpoints is precisely why the majority of
inhabitants of our country will never evolve beyond the state of being
easily manipulated party goons.

Oh, come off it. Why is it that liberals always talk about moving to

First of all, I never heard conservatives talk about relocating when 
Democrats win. Okay, a few-- but they talk about relocating within the 
U.S., usually to crackpot-friendly empty spaces like Montana or Idaho.

And second... why _Canada_? Why not Europe? I mean, if you're going to 
leave the country, why settle for Canada? Why not move to a place with 
more than a thousand years of intense, fertile, and profound history, 
stocked full of fabulous architecture and exotic foods, where your kids

take you to the greatest museums, vacation spots, and cultural landmarks

But no. They'll settle for _Canada_.

Why avoid cynicism? _Embrace_ it. We've just had solid proof that a bare 
majority of the country really is cataclysmically, profoundly stupid, 
and that even the _worst President in living memory_ can get re-elected.

If you _still_ want to avoid cynicism, even after _that_ piece of

Very good analysis on Slate.com (http://www.slate.com/id/2109079/) of
why we keep losing to this idiot.  The gist is that people don't want
to think -- they don't want to see the world as a complicated place with

the world as a simple place, with everything black or white.  We're the

Very good analysis on Slate.com (http://www.slate.com/id/2109079/) of
why we keep losing to this idiot.  The gist is that people don't want
to think -- they don't want to see the world as a complicated place with
a lot of shades of grey.  They want a simple person who lets them see
the world as a simple place, with everything black or white.  We're the
good guys; they're the bad guys.

By the way, Vancouver is lovely.

Re: [UC] Bush Victory

2004-11-03 Thread David Ford


I'm very concerned about the legacy we leave our children. I think
they'll be fine economically if they're rich, and screwed
otherwise. I think that the security situation will get worse, and
Bush will breed more terrorists around the world in the next four years
than we've seen in the last fifty years. The reputation of the US
will be permanently diminished, and we'll be on our way to becoming a
minor country and second-rate economic power. 
The nation may eventually turn inward, focusing on so-called values, and
we'll lose our scientific edge (well, that's lost already), and our will
to explore things for purposes of intellectual curiosity. There may
be increased friction between the southern and internal states, and the
northeast and west coast states, leading to increased mistrust between
us, and possibly culminating in some kind of serious split within the
next 50 years. It could cause a constitutional crisis, or even
violence. 
We did our best to avoid these traps, and turn the country around.
Pennsylvania did the right thing, but we failed in Ohio. We will
suffer for this, but perhaps we'll find a way to fix things in the
future. Perhaps the misguided people who voted for Bush will start
to see where things are headed, and will change their ways. Hope
springs eternal, but I have no basis for it.

Yes, it certainly is.  Moreover, the Heartland which decides the course of
this country is the least likely place where a terrorist attack will occur.

They are prone to attack major metropolitan areas large, financial districts
or seats of national government; namely the Eastern Seaboard and West Coats
which went heavily for Kerry.

Anyway, he was duly elected and we have to respect that we live in a
different country from The Heartland.  Fortunately, we are exposed to many
more things and have a larger point of view that they do not see.

I went to college in Ohio and I know whereof I speak.

Why is the democratic process pathetic simply because the majority of
americans disagreed with you or I?  If it had gone the other way you
wouldn't be saying the same thing by why would it be any less pathetic to
you?  Simply because your side won?  The same statement you made would be

I will mark this up to misguided disappointment.  It would serve this
country and its inhabitants considerably if all sides had some respect for
the democratic process even if their candidate didn't win.  This shortage
of tolerance for opposing viewpoints is precisely why the majority of
inhabitants of our country will never evolve beyond the state of being
easily manipulated party goons.

For those of you who want to move to Canada, why all the talk? Move to Canada.
If you think you'll be happier there, I say go ahead. However, perpetuating
such views as the president is dumb and I'm ashamed to be an American is
disgusting to me.
I know it is disappointing to have wanted a change in regime, but this doesn't

Hitler? Oh so now Bush is Hitler.

That wasn't my point. My point was that a popular leader -- and Bush appears
to have won the popular vote -- is not necessarily a good, worthy leader.  I
think the emerging flaw in our democratic process is that the process itself
is causing this country to have to consistently choose between two deeply
flawed candidates.

I would get the hell out and stop talking about it.

That sounds a lot like America -- love it or leave it, a narrow-minded
view that fails, nay refuses, to understand that criticism in vital to the
democratic process.

 Why is the democratic process pathetic simply because the majority of
 americans disagreed with you or I?  If it had gone the other way you
 wouldn't be saying the same thing by why would it be any less pathetic to
 you?  Simply because your side won?  The same statement you made would be

 I will mark this up to misguided disappointment.  It would serve this

RE: [UC] Bush Victory

2004-11-03 Thread Clinton, J. Scott
I'm not exactly sure how this all relates to west philly, but I suppose that
the election is the most newsworthy topic of discussion for most people; all
of the lists I subscribe to are temporarially election discussion lists.

So here's my plea.  Try not to blame the outcome of the election on
moralists or religious whackos or whatever.  I'm not sure that is where this
discussion is going, but it sure did on other lists and so I'd like to try
and prevent that here.

I'm not a member of a political party because I don't see that either group
represents my interests very well.  I toss my tiny bit of support one way or
another depending on the election.  I am also a Christian, though I
certainly don't identify with the conservative Christian ideology.  The
problem is, the Democrats can't seem to put a candidate on the ticket that I
can wholehartedly support.

Folks like me are tired of being told who we must vote for because of our
faith when neither group really takes positions that we hold as important.
There are lots of other progressive Christians out there, but they need to
be courted and split away from the religious right.  This would take a
mighty chunk from the Republican base of support.  I don't think the
Democrats are going to do this though, because to court these people, they
run the risk of turning off some of the more liberal elements of their
support.

So maybe someone out there has an idea how to organize the Religious Left
to help counter the Religious Right or what that might look like.  I truly
feel for folks (in Ohio and elsewhere) who may have wanted to vote for John
Kerry but couldn't quite do it because the national discussion of religious
values was given up to the conservatives and nobody really talked about the
flaws in the theology of just wars, the inconsistancy of being anti-abortion
and pro-death pentalty, the invasion of foreign lands flying in the face of
Christs' call to turn the other cheek, etcetera, etcetera.

My $.02 for what it is worth.

Re: [UC] Bush Victory

2004-11-03 Thread Dan Myers
Let me re-iterate: I don't think the democratic process is failed in any 
way. (except the inconsistent way people vote at the polling booths, and 
maybe our out-dated electoral college system) I think the PEOPLE in this 
country are pathetic. I know I have no control of that, and have to accept 
that a civil war may break out because the nation is split (almost equally). 
And I have to keep reminding myself that not everyone enjoys the wonderful 
world of logic.

I hope that clears any possibility that I hate my country, because I don't. 
I know there are many countries who would die (and are dying) to have those 
simple liberties. My comments about Canada are only a smidgen serious. I 
love this neighborhood, and would hate to leave it just because some jerk 
raised the draft age to 35.

Title: RE: [UC] Bush Victory





Scott,


 That's an excellent observation. The idea that no candidate is actually a good religious fit. I have to admit that I always hope that people leave religion and spiritual ideology out of politics and public policy. I feel this way, Scott, because it's impossible to have a public servant who only identifies and represents a certain sect rather than taking the secular mantle of having to represent them all. However, it's become obvious that a politician has to take a religious side , as it were. I would then be a great idea to establish a religious left. This voice could counter much of the hypocracy in Bush's fundamentalist, and right-wing Catholic following. I'd like to hear more of what you think local churches, synagogues, temples and religious congregations can do to join and discuss what they want in a politician or elected official. It's certainly a great constituency-building idea.

them. Obviously, they are interested in making themselves look smarter by
having a dumb president. It's really pathetic. I am hoping for a recount.
Florida decision was made quite quickly this year, possibly to avoid
cynicism.

Why is the democratic process pathetic simply because the majority of
americans disagreed with you or I?  If it had gone the other way you
wouldn't be saying the same thing by why would it be any less pathetic to
you?  Simply because your side won?  The same statement you made would be
coming from the mouths of the republicans.
vision of the annointed ?
I will mark this up to misguided disappointment.  It would serve this
country and its inhabitants considerably if all sides had some respect for
the democratic process even if their candidate didn't win.  This shortage
of tolerance for opposing viewpoints is precisely why the majority of
inhabitants of our country will never evolve beyond the state of being
easily manipulated party goons.

 The only silver lining I can see is that Bush is going have to deal
with
 the
 mess that he created in Iraq and the next terrorist attack that will
 likely
 occur on his watch.

 I don't even want to think about what is going to happen with the
Supreme
 Court.

 I think I am going to puke.

I don't believe in the like it or leave it philosophy when it comes to
America.  The right to stay and fight the good fight and try to right the
wrongs is what makes this place cool.  And knowing there's always hope that
we will live to see our personal and political goals, values, ideals and
beliefs realized, is what makes it the best place in the world to be, in my
opinion.  I'd never go as far as to suggest anybody leave just because they
say they are unhappy with something.  But hey, when they openly suggest it
themselves, like when they threaten to pack up and leave because they don't
like the outcome of an election, I always think one or both of two short,
ole' fashioned statements: Suit yourself and Good riddance.

...and I am a Black, gay, American, who voted for Kerry, and don't mind
saying so.  That's my two cents.  Now I got to get back to work, before I
look up and find myself without a job...

I'm inclined to agree with Jonathan Cass's initial comment in this 
thread.

Further, consider that this may be the high point of Bush's career: he 
actually was elected President.

Don't laugh, but one of my former neighbors recently sold her house 
here
in
University City and moved to Vancouver. Her reasons were partly a good
professional opportunity and partly because of the political 
situation in
this country.

Very good analysis on Slate.com (http://www.slate.com/id/2109079/) of
why we keep losing to this idiot.  The gist is that people don't 
want
to think -- they don't want to see the world as a complicated place 
with
a lot of shades of grey.  They want a simple person who lets them see
the world as a simple place, with everything black or white.  We're 
the
good guys; they're the bad guys.

By the way, Vancouver is lovely.
