"Study links low intelligence with right-wing beliefs"

Yes, a right wing authoritarian at that.

Agree about Rupert Murdoch; disagree that the media is leftist. Unless you count state controlled TV.

Every other major station and publication is right wing in stance. Very right wing.

To that end, how many left wing newspapers have you seen. I only know of one: the Toronto Star.

Homosexuals change their biological nature multiple times? Are you for real?

Apparently you've never worked at PwC.

Thank you, I enjoy Aspergers and Schizophrenia quite well with the creative insight and the ability to see patterns others cannot see. Sort of like, oh, I don't know, a genius called John Nash.

Oh, and by the way, Albert Einstein was a socialist. Hmmm, hard to argue with one of the most brilliant people in history.

Many fear the truth.

Insight and wisdom.

You have a bias against civil servants when in fact business people are the more corrupt users and abusers of others.

Are you sure that's not the Conservatives who are in the media more since they own it?

That's one point of view. Strange, I thought Che was a doctor who helped others. Ooops, I guess you missed that one.

It's called fighting back against the corruption of capitalism.

Liberal Capitalism is corrupt.

Naive to attack social programs; there are many geniuses who are down and out. They need a chance. I am an example of that.

That is well put.

I'd err on the side of regulation; people cannot be trusted to act toward the greater good. Too much greed.

Or the "free" and "fair" markets are run by extreme right wingers without ethics. Slave masters if you will over labour.

No. Right wing companies that failed in the USA had a ripple effect to Governments. Now, the public sector civil servant is under attack, when in fact these individuals had nothing to do with the unethical behaviour of the extreme right wing USA banking industry. This is what I have coined "negligence transfer."

"And state capitalism is plagued by cronyism and corruption."

And liberal market capitalism isn't? Just look at the tech busts circa early 2000's, the financial scandals Enron, Worldcom, Tyco, etc., and the unethical behaviour of the banking sector that brought in the current Great Recession (to which there is "negligence transfer" to the public sector civil servants when these individuals had nothing to do with the cronyism and corruption of the right wing companies).

Kind of biased reporting by The Economist (again). "Free" and "Fair" markets are rarely free and fair; they are run by right wing liars, schemers, and manipulators.
