Here's what these words mean to me:

Intelligent: capable of graduating from MIT.

Educated: studied liberal arts & sciences at any credible college or university.

Conservative: Pat Buchanan. "god and country." Not Milton Friedman. Not Irving Kristol. And not "right-wing", which is an ideology. Conservative might really mean Edmund Burke, but I think the linked article means Pat Buchanan.

Smart: is context dependent and means making the best decisions in a given context. In some forms of human endeavor being smart requires higher than average intelligence, like say being a surgeon. But most aren't especially aided by intelligence. Definitely not politics or business. Too much intelligence can even cause stupidity in some situations.

I'm not sure what the word liberal means to you, but to me, in this context, it's meaningless.
