The Cognitive Ability of "no" Voters proved
Specifically, there is a strong and statistically significant association between higher cognitive ability and a greater likelihood to support equal rights between same- and different-sex couples.This may shed some light on why those who stand against equal rights may not be persuaded by evidence-based arguments in the ongoing same-sex marriage debate.
This shouldn't be a surprise throughout history it's been proven and Bolt has always complained about our universities, the ABC, our Art's and sciences being filled with people arguing for equality, social justice, human rights and social policies that progress towards those ideals. It must be reminded that Andrew Bolt failed University and his mate Tony Abbott gained his Rhodes scholarship not on any grounds of economic standards but largely for sport and the aggressive support of the Jesuits of St Ignatius College.

THE NEW THREATS TO REASON
Matt Ridley on the new threats to reason: "The spread of fundamentalist Islam, the growth of Hindu nationalism and Russian autocracy, the intolerance of dissent in Western universities and the puritanical hectoring of social media give grounds for concern that the flowering of freedom in the past several centuries may come under threat."
Bolt's Bullies Rage
A young Brisbane woman who was flying rainbow flags outside her house in support of same-sex marriage has had her windows smashed in with rocks in a late-night attack police said may be linked to three other incidents nearby.

AMAZING COINCIDENCE: WITNESS TO ALLEGED GAY-BASHING IS COMPLAINANT AGAINST TWO PREACHERS
Amazing coincidence. August: "Samuel Mazur has referred Hobart Cornerstone Church’s David Gee and pastor Campbell Markham to the Anti-Discrimination Commission for comments they have made about gay people." Now: "A Tasmanian transgender teen was [allegedly] physically assaulted... Her mate Samuel Mazur was ... able to shove the attacker away."
LEYONHJELM: 'GUILTY THAT I DIDN'T KICK UP MORE' AGAINST GAY-MARRIAGE ATTACK ON FREE SPEECH
The Turnbull Government's disgraceful "emergency" laws to police free speech during the gay-marriage campaign were resisted by just Pauline Hanson's One Nation and Australian Conservative Cory Bernardi. Now Senator David Leyonhjelm admits he took his eye off the ball: "I actually feel a bit guilty that I didn’t kick up more of a fuss about that."
LABOR'S PLAN: $30B A YEAR TO PRETEND TO 'STOP" GLOBAL WARMING
We've seen little global warming and we're too small to make a difference anyway. But Labor's plan to slash emissions has a huge cost: "Professor McKibbin, of the ANU’s Crawford School, analysed the impact... The Coalition target in theory would sacrifice $18 billion in economic output [in 2030] compared with a cost of $30bn for the Labor target."
Bolt's fossil fuel heaven has come to a standstill in the face of hurricanes Bolt claims are "normal". Developed states Texas, Florida, and territories like Puerto Rico are facing billions of dollars of costs which makes fossil fuels look extremely expensive power source when you consider they are useless and will take up to six months to power up again. Currently, the only power being generated is via renewables. There is a lesson to be learned here
They say those that can't-do pretend they can teach? How is it McCrann isn't sitting on the board of any Corporate entity and as such why is it Bolt thinks he's the voice of reason over and above CEOs of Corporations like BHP and AGL. BHP hasn't just turned overnight. The supported Gillard's Super Tax and even her Carbon Tax so why print this BS when this support dates back as far as pre-2013. The only people here that are ignorant is McCrann and Bolt or is it they are conveniently ignoring the fact that this was in step with Labor policies."BHP seemingly believes that if it joins the Global Warming campaign against energy sanity at home, it will be left free to keep pumping more and more iron ore and coking coal and oil and gas — and so hundreds of millions of tonnes of explicit and implicit CO2 emissions — into the northern hemisphere..."McCrann
There is nothing secret about BHP's support of an ETS what's secret is BOLT and McCrann can't accept the rational economic thinking of the Big Australian. Going back to 2010

BHP boss Marius Kloppers: It's time for carbon tax - The Australian
www.theaustralian.com.au/.../bhp...carbon-tax/.../f879fbaf09bef0281d40cee66e7daec...
"Mr. Kloppers's call for a carbon tax undermines the passionate objections of Tony Abbott to setting a price on carbon before there is a global consensus.
"We do believe that such a global initiative will eventually come and, when it does, Australia will need to have acted ahead of it to maintain its competitiveness," Mr. Kloppers told a packed Australian British Chamber of Commerce lunch in Sydney." 2010
GREEN MADNESS LEAVES US SHORT OF GAS
Green scares and gutless politicians have created this gas crisis. My editorial from The Bolt Report.
BHP DISGRACES ITSELF BY CAVING IN TO THE GREENS
The Herald Sun's Terry McCrann has a message for BHP Billiton boss Ken MacKenzie: why on earth are you demonising coal by endorsing a clean energy target and dumping the pro-coal Brendan Pearson as head of the Minerals Council. From The Bolt Report.
SOMETHING SMELLS ABOUT LISA'S AGED GARLIC
I would definitely go for aged garlic cures and Wilkinson advertising them instead of Andrew Bolt's ads for The Spectator and other extreme Right-wing Pulp Fiction that has absolutely no health benefits whatsoever to offer. Is this all Bolt has to whinge about the wife of Peter Fitzsimons? What a small-minded weed is Andrew Bolt just how was he raised and by who. As the saying goes someone created this ugly man this Dorian Grey in the first seven years of his life and left him little hope.
BASH THE CATHOLIC, IGNORE THE MUSLIM
Strange. A Catholic archbishop says something about gay marriage that a Muslim leader said, too, only worse. But only one is savaged. Why? With Sharri Markson on The Bolt Report.
Division is Bolt's game but not in the case of Marriage Equality but not this time the 'yes' vote won't be turned into an Islamophobic battle. They accept the freedom of religious belief. They also accept the freedom of Christian beliefs but not when it's been politicized as it has by the ACL, the Churches. This isn't a fundamentalist religious battle at all this is a battle to change the secular and legal definition of marriage and that's not the argument Bolt wants he wants it to be a religious one. Don't for one moment believe that Bolt is supporting Muslims and their freedom of religion he's not he's simply trying to deflect it away from the very losing battle that Catholics are facing they are divided just as much because of what their leaders advocate and what Abbott and Kevin Andrews advocate but their gobsmacked by the fact Francis Abbott has headbutted her father and the Catholic church.Why doesn't Bolt have a go at Ms, Abbott? Is he going to tell us just how misguided she is for supporting Aunty Christine who Bolt has had a go at trying to convince us that she has made a victim of poor lying Tony?
