I facepalm at most things you write.  And thanks for proving my point.

More intelligent people are statistically significantly more likely to exhibit social values and religious and political preferences that are novel to the human species in evolutionary history. Specifically, liberalism and atheism, and for men (but not women), preference for sexual exclusivity correlate with higher intelligence, a new study finds.

I do agree, though, that it doesn't do much good to assume that since another person is less intelligent that their ideas are unfounded or that they cant understand your ideas.

Of which... holds no actual relevence.  Since the numbers who "cross vote" are very small.

Also, voting in general is a better sign of conservatism and liberalism then self idenfitication.

Reason being... it forces you to choose.

Rather then say "I'm for this, i'm against this!"  It forces you to quantify the value of each issue to you.

Even if you hold mostly conservative values... if one liberal value is more important to you then all of those conservative values combined... in reality you are a liberal.

*high five*

By the way I just want to point out that even if you prove the points you're trying to prove right now (which I think is pretty unlikely) you still haven't proven the crux of your argument, namely that the people who are actually committing the acts of violence are disproportionately of a conservative political view.

If we assume liberals are smarter, better educated, etc...on the average than people with any other view (again this by itself is a HUGE stretch) your point of saying "and poor people are more likely to be violent" doesn't actually prove a damn thing in regards to conservatives.

Even if we 100% buy into everything you've posted:
- We still have no way to know if poor and/or dumb liberals are responsible for more than there share of violence.
- Even if we assume liberals do less than there share your argument amounts to "any violence not done by liberals is done by conservatives", based on what exactly?

Radical American Muslims take on South Park

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/19/security-brief-radical-islamic-web-site-takes-on-south-park/?hpt=T2

Islamic radicals are using the same methods that Conservative groups have been using to eliminate their targets.  The radicals warned Matt Stone and Trey parker that if they didn't bend to their will that bad things would happen to them, and they posted personal addresses of South Park's creators and people to pay them a visit.  Very similar to what conservatives have done with doctors who practice abortion and politicians who support healthcare reform.

I'm afraid that there are Muslims out there who are more willing to act than many of the Christian and Tea Party groups, even though conservatives have killed it seems most them just resort to vandalism and intimidation.  Still these acts of terrorism to push their social and religious views on others needs to stop, we are not living in the 13th century anymore.

I'm afraid there are Muslims out there who are completely immune to irony.

I know the debate has long since moved away from this point, and when this thread first popped up a few weeks ago I deliberately stayed away because in general I don't enjoy arguing politics, but I don't feel like there's been adequate closure on this issue and can no longer keep silent.

In this entire thread you've engaged largely in ad hominem attacks against conservatives using overly sensationalist language.  I shouldn't have to remind you, but due to your insistence on pressing this point I will anyway - the Nazis killed over 6 million Jews in just their death camps alone.  Add in the gypsies, homosexuals, and other people the Nazis oppressed and it goes up even more, with estimates ranging from 11-17 million people in total who lost their lives to the nazis. 

If you think that a few fringe radicals who in no way represent the majority of the movement or their ideals are enough to equate all conservatives with nazis then you are helplessly delusional.

Fortunately I know a few other liberals myself, and can at least confirm that your opinion doesn't represent that of the majority so there may still be some hope for American politics.

Ad hominems are not fallacies.  Individuals and groups that resort to violence to force their social and political views on others are predominately conservative, thus conservatism poses a threat to democratic society.

Concerning Nazis, what did they do before they got into power?  They intimidated politicians, vandalized homes and businesses, conjured up fears of foriegners and minority groups, claim those who disagree with them don't support their country, and so forth.  Exactly how conservatives in America act.  You may be from Europe or elsewhere, or perhaps you only get your information from Fox News, but hate crimes committed by conservatives are very common in the United States.  It is very common for non-conservative groups to be personally assaulted because of who they are.  Assaults and intimidation against homosexual are still main stream in rural (conservative) areas of America.  When Jim Adkisson was asked why he brought a gun into a Unitarian Church and killed several innocent people, he said, "because I hate the liberal movement."  He wanted to commit suicide, but thought that killing liberals before being killed by police would be better.

Recently, atheist/agnostic groups started buying ad space saying "if you don't believe in God, you're not alone," but wherever these advertisements go they are vandalized; and its not fringe conservatives, its a majority of conservatives.  When President George H. W. Bush was asked if he recognized the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists, he replied, "I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."  Atheists aren't considered citizens in Saudi Arabia or Iran either...
