Adjusting for IQ—WTF?????

Studies show a strong correlation between IQ and income. Those with a higher IQ, regardless of race, earn more on average than those with a lower IQ. The same is true of education. Comparing any group of people, without adjusting for relevant factors, is dishonest. People of morals who value the truth will adjust for those factors to make a fair comparison.

What studies?

The ones my university professor quoted in one of my classes. You can probably find it with a simple Google search.

He made assertions about communists everywhere, yet he provided no proof of claim.

On December 2, 1954, the Senate voted to censure Senator McCarthy by a vote of 67–22, making him one of the few senators ever to be disciplined in this fashion. He continued to speak against communism until his death at the age of 48 at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, on May 2, 1957. His death certificate listed the cause of death as "Hepatitis, acute, cause unknown". Doctors had not previously reported him to be in critical condition. Some biographers say this was caused or exacerbated by alcoholism, intravenous drug use, or both.

The man was not only a paranoiac nut-case, but an alcoholic, and/or a junkie.

Good riddance.

Wake up, dude!

We have always had Socialists in Congress AND the White House ... even before FDR and his New Deal policies...

And here you are, talking about Socialism like it was more evil than shooting random people on 5th Avenue.

McCarthy was right. There may have been stealth socialists back in the Cold War era, but today we have open socialists serving in Congress, such as Bernie Sanders and Ihan Omar. So history has proven McCarthy out and he is owed an apology.

I can think of at least one... no, wait... five... no, wait... fourteen problems with the McCarthy process...

If a burglar breaks into my apartment with the intent of stealing my computer, should I apologize to him because I *do* in fact have a computer? After all, the burglar was *right*...

Socialism and Communism are evil. That's why they need to be eradicated.

Are you advocating for the eradication of the people who believe in Socialist/Communist ideologies, or the eradication of just the ideologies themselves?

Not the people of course, but the evil socialist ideology needs to be eradicated. It has destroyed more lives than one can count. I'd like to stay but its lunchtime and Taco Tuesday, so I'm off to Taco Bueno. Have a great day!

That would involve a degree of Thought Control that even the Vatican would envy.
