Ryan Goes Nuclear on National TV. Gets Fact-Checked by Nuclear Physicist. (FB Photo/Meme)

28. Centerfuges spinning faster? Wonks can criticize this post, but they are missing the point.

Keep it simple.

1. Centrifuges spin at the speed they are designed to spin, or they fail.
2. Biden said the Iranians have some Uranium (making centrifuge point moot), but they don't have a delivery system.

North Korea has nuclear material (though poor quality), but they have no delivery system. Are you losing sleep over this fact? NK is much closer to the US. But, they're just communists. We all know communists aren't as scary as 'hte muslims'.

So, if you enjoy being a scared about Iran, shooting first and asking questions later and other fear based religious beliefs about the United States government, Ryan must appeal to you. Those Iranians get scarier and scarier every day! Oy vey!

But, if you enjoy being brave, smart and telling the truth about things, Biden would be a role model.

PS - The nuclear wonks criticizing the details of this graphic are showing their stripes. Rather than reading the message (i.e. that Ryan is clueless), they want us to know they are smarter than a political graphic. I love wonks, I love learning and I love smart people. I love corrections of details. But, don't suggest the poster should be embarrassed that s/he doesn't know as much as you do about nuclear science. Be even smarter by recognizing that the message of the graphic is true, even if the details are fallible. You don't have to be a nuclear scientist to know Ryan was out of his league and fear-mongering. Let go of your pride so over-simplified messages can have a better impact. If you want to be critical and have the knowledge to do so, also support the good-intentions and correct message of someone with less knowledge than you.
