Is Conservatism Really A Genetic Defect?

"The reason a person is a conservative republican is because something is wrong with them. Again, that’s science – that’s neuroscience. You cannot be well adjusted, open-minded, pluralistic, enlightened and be a republican. It’s counter-intuitive. And they revel in their anti-intellectualism. They revel in their cruelty.

I don’t know if you heard me talking to Jenny a while ago, but I was saying that first you have to be an asshole and then comes the conservatism. You gotta be a dick to cleave onto their ideology."

Janeane Garofalo's view of conservatives

So according to Garofalo, conservative values are either a medical problem or plan ignorance.

Interesting idea, but where did she get her advanced degree in medicine or psychology?

Personally, I take offense to her crazy ideas. I do not think it is a genetic problem as she points out. I have a graduate degree (with honors) from a top 50 university. I also was not molded into my conservative values by my parents. (They were middle of the road when I was growing up.)

I become a conservative on my own choosing. I have compared different political ideologies and decided that conservatism is the best approach.

If I apply her logic, I guess most of the founding fathers of our nation were also defective in their thinking too. I guess I suffer from the same disorder as people like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, and Madison.

This is how liberals view those of differing opinions. The opposition has something wrong with them and they should not be allowed to exist. Their push for reviving the Fairness Doctrine is proof that they think people are dumb.

Personally, I think celebrities like Garofalo need to think before they speak. I am not going to stoop to her levels and start the name calling or make degrading statements. She has a right to her own opinion. But if the general public read this they would be disenfranchised with her.

However, I am sure that I will not watch any of her movies, television shows, or stand-up comedy act. I am probably not smart of enough to comprehend her act anyways...
