> A Republican in Boston

2 January 2005, 21:40

I read an interesting study about intelligence. The states with higher I.Q.averages (taken from SAT scores, I believe) usually voted Democratic. No need to reply about the crediability of the research, I know all research should be suspect, espcially that which is funded by corporations or special interest groups. My democratic friends are very intelligent, educated, and logical. Many intelligent and logical Republicans also see the evil in Mr. Bush. He is not religious! Saying you are, does not make it so. In fact, how horrible to say you are to get votes. Something about bearing false witness. Jesus would never approve of this war. An intelligent and logical person does some research on many issues and does not vote for someone just because he says he is a Christian. Mr. Bush lines the pockets of corporations and the rich with no regard for the environment, the people, other nations, our constitution, or right and wrong. Something in the bible about being harder for a rich man to get to heaven than through the eye of a needle. Blind Christians are turning me away from the church and back to common sense, love, compassion, the golden rule, and honesty! These are the true moral values!

What an ego to think that those who do not agree with you are stupid. In deed, these people have educated themselves because they care so deeply about the future of our nation (and yes, The World). One can be both intelligent and emotional. In fact, the balance is ideal. We are not robots.
