Default Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

Daniel Klein: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? - WSJ.com

How did the six ideological groups do overall? Here they are, best to worst, with an average number of incorrect responses from 0 to 8: Very conservative, 1.30; Libertarian, 1.38; Conservative, 1.67; Moderate, 3.67; Liberal, 4.69; Progressive/very liberal, 5.26.


Pretty interesting article about just how clueless the lefties are when it comes to basic economics, not surprising given what I've read here posted by libs.

Onto the Celts-Lakers now.

The problem is their answer to every single question was "tax the rich."

Its cute when someone actually tries to convince people that the mouth breathing idiots who listen to Rush Limbaugh are in fact, not mouth breathing idiots.

The only way you can succeed with this test is if you're of the opinion that third world workers aren't being exploited and that the economy was worse in the 80's than it is today.

Seriously there agent 13, are you fukcing kidding or what?

This report doesn't mesh with sdaniels' warped perspective on things, so he had to default to his usual mention Rush Limbaugh response which, of couse, has absoultely nothing to do with the study.

Let's count the logical fallacies here...

1. Red herring.
2. Ad hominem.

Nice. Two sound logical fallacies in one post.

In other words, classic form from the liberal left...
