I think the answer would have to be "stupid", since there are many fine upstanding retarded people who are retarded through no fault of their own and if they could would think better than they are able to now; whereas conservatives make an intentional choice to blind themselves to reality and to facts and basic ethical problems' logical solutions, preferring instead to wallow in a golden-tinted, honey-bunches-of-oats, Precious-Moments of the mind.
Stupid, especially wilfully stupid, I have no sympathy for. Retarded, I can respect.
