Did you even read this study? This article is some guy translating another study, basically it says liberals socialist ideology are held by higher IQ people than Religious belief people, BUT for 'verbal intellect' Republicans are better.
He's basically saying, "Well... if you look at it from this angle..." and is twisting the details of the study to repurpose the facts to fit his ideology.
Which just goes to show that you don't even know what the fuck that guy was talking about when he was talking about what someone else was talking about. Now tell me again about IQ levels...
