It takes a nation to protect the nation
The Australian, 11 February 2012
IF you thought liberal snobs were insufferable enough already, with their tendency to view anyone who disagrees with them as dumb and dangerous, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
This week, their heads got even bigger and their sense of moral superiority soared when they were provided with actual scientific proof that they are better than us mere mortals in the mob.
Yes, it is now an “empirical fact”, as one commentator put it, that liberals are smarter than right-wingers and other allegedly prejudiced folk.
According to a study published in the Canadian journal, Psychological Science, people with high IQs are likely to become liberals, whereas individuals with “lower cognitive abilities” tend to gravitate towards “more socially conservative right-wing ideologies that maintain the status quo”

Perhaps the facts are true - but the guys who did the survey drew the wrong conclusions.
How about these possible facts:
What would this show? That those people who can score higher on IQ tests (does not necessarily mean those of a higher intelligence) would tend to take up positions of power, or at least follow the easiest path for a trouble free life in that society.
So what this survey could show is that the leftist liberals, are those born with skills that enable them to gain positions of power in society, and they do just that and use those skills to have a nice life, and don't give a damn about the underlying morality of that society. They just swallow its message and fit in. In other words, they are selfish, amoral rats.
Nice survey!
Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
