It Just So Happens, That Everything That Is Profitable, Is Also Patriotic.

4. No Republican ever let logic get in their way. Two examples.

I recall about a year ago on "This American Life" Ira had a show about young people.

One of these was a self professing Beck fan. Ira asked her about climate change which she stated she did to believe in it. He asked her to explain what climate change was and explain why she didn't believe in it. After a little hemming and hawing she couldn't. He arranged to get a climatologist to explain it to her in very simple terms. Did using the facts and logic in terms a teenager could understand change her mind. NO!


Right after the Citizen's United decision was announced, a conservative friend of mine called me with his latest guess what Obama did this time moment. These are usually the latest FOX, Bech and Limbaugh talking point. Knowing him rather well, once I debunked his guess what moment, I asked what he thought of the fact that corporations were not people. He started in a rage how stupid that was and how he was sure Obama did that to get more money from corporation. I then explained it was the SCOTUS which did this and predicted it would be used much more by Republicans. He now complains about every penny donated to Obama while overlooking the money donated to Romney.

Those are just two examples of how they are uninformed and even when the fact are given they still don't believe it. Or care.
