So let me get this straight. I post-

Yeah isn't it odd that educated people tend not to be social conservatives? A few hundred years ago it was the earth is flat and the center of the solar system. Now it's 6000 years old and evolution is a crock. Least now we're not burning people at the stake for not agreeing with the church, least not yet.

And you respond with-

I am very educated thank you very much but I am very much socially conservative as well as my parents who hold Phds and are highly respected in their fields. This attitude is appalling. That somehow conservative people are stupid, It is precisely this attitude that cause the elitist liberals to lose credibility. That type of liberal backward thinking is why you lose votes from the common man, the people you despise and insult.

Then I think part of our disagreement then is how we're defining social conservatism. In my post I attempted to define the type of social conservatives to which I was referring- those people who do believe the earth is 6000 years old and that evolution is a crock. By your latest response I'm lead to believe you feel I should have used the term "scientifically conservative" rather then social conservative. After reading your first response I had to go back and make sure I didn't state "all conservatives are uneducated and stupid." Which of course I didn't state. I stated "Yeah isn't it odd that educated people tend not to be social conservatives?" I then went on to define the type of conservative I was referring to-

Since you do not seem to believe the things I pointed out I'm a little lost why you would find my attitude appalling. I'm also confused why you would think-

Again if you yourself do not believe the items I pointed out why would you think it's "backwards thinking?"
As for-

I try not to despise or hate people. In my experience these type of feelings have a much more negative effect on those doing the despising and hating then those being hated and despised.
As for insulting- if you were insulted by my post I apologize. But I have to say I read your post and I find many reasons to be insulted myself. You have me thinking backward and despising people. If I had thinner skin, which I don't, I would be insulted.
