Are people really this stupid, or are they just funnin’ with the pollsters? — 3 Comments

  1. It is a religion thing, Neo. GOP has a lot of religious support, but that doesn’t mean those religious traditions are sane.

  2. Or maybe the respondents are just giving the pollsters a hard time. I prefer this explanation, but I doubt it’s true.

    Waste of time. More fun to prank Nigerian email scams. Now it is probably Congo and Venezuelan.

  3. As I mentioned on the old blog, I think they mean “social democracy” when they say “socialism.”

    As for it making people more free, I think it goes back to FDR’s “freedom from want” and “freedom from fear” — when the government helps you, in FDR’s view, it makes you more free, even if to a classical liberal it makes you less free. I think the modern lefty agrees with FDR against the classical liberal.
