6. cynicism is being sold as skepticism

The American social dialogue about factual statements pertaining to the natural world has been disrupted and the place of the skeptic is being replaced by low information cynics with a personal stake in disrupting the evidenciary based world view we hold.
Right wing extremist fund many "think tanks" and social engineering specialists to come up with approaches towards factual statements about the natural world that purposely negate the progress and potential of human beings and thier innate, infinite value.
skepticism is a healthy part of any human endeavor to understand our natural world, but the past several decades indicate that the skeptics have become the cynics and that this rate of reversal for true skepticism to cynicism is most probably related to the increase in right wing extremist anti-intellectualism, science bashing and educational revisionism.
The damage being caused by antiAmerican right wing extremists reaches beyond some bad legislation and hypocritical social positions; they are actively trying to destroy America's scholastic and scientific success stories through revisionist education attacks and Koche-developed attacks on higher learning in the form of financial aid in return for control over the educational platforms and sources allowed in the university system.

Healthy skepticism is a sign of a healthy democracy- Hate-filled cynicism as a knee-jerk response of Republicans and teabaggers (supposed legitimate political parties) towards science and other intellectual activities is a sign of a failing democracy.
When the new Republican/fox "news" party defected to the AntiAmerican right wing extremists, they placed our country in dire straights in more than one way; our cohesion as a people is being actively dissolved by right wingers at work destroying constructive, proAmerican skepticism and replacing it with corosive right wing cynicism.

Remember: teabaggers hate nothing as much as they hate America, and they will do whatever is neccessary to destroy her. Disrupting the way in which we arrive at consenses is an attack at the core of what makes America great. And teabaggers hate it when people assign greatness to America, unless it is from before the civil war.
