"Why are so many conservatives so stupid?"

Because you have to be either stupid or psychopathic to espouse most of conservative doctrine.

I don't think black conservatives are dumber than any other kind of conservative; it's just that they're hired largely to push the moronic RW Weltanschauung in the realms of race and class. I guess the theory is that if a black person is dissing minorities, that proves it's all true somehow.
