Interesting article about a new study possibly linking one's political views and behavior to genetics. What do you think?

I can see it now. The libs will want to be a protected class so anytime you tell them how stupid they are it becomes a hate crime. Afterall it's not their fault it's genetic.
Hell I thought the tea sippers were nutz,now I find out they can't help it. It is a genetic malfunction..

True, it does give a built-in excuse to all the crazies along the entire political spectrum. It can also be a scary thing in the 'Big Brother' scenario if they ever do discover how genetics work in total and start modifying in that direction.

This is probably correct insofar as it may point towards the uninformed/critical thinking gene. LOOK! It's COsFb, IFFY, Twirly, JD CoummunityCornball, T2NutLickers, et al down in the shallow end.....of the gene pool, natch.
