Why right wing beliefs are so crazy

[daveman]

rw's - no guts.

I don't have to take a bite of bullshit to know it's bullshit.

But apparently you like the taste of bullshit.

rw's - no guts.

Your premise is so utterly retarded, who other than a left wing moon bat would take it serious?

Essay from Mooney's new book, The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science--and Reality

Yes, its from a liberal source and yes, its a science-based book but I hope rw's don't dismiss it out of hand. There really are some excellent points - even for the crazy right wing.

You might even see your own reflection ...

Men of faith who believed in God were some of the most renowned scientists. From Copernicus to Planck.

Many had deep Christian commitments like physicists Stokes and Maxwell.

To have faith, to be socially conservative is not to be against science.

then why is the right wing against global warming and evolution? oh thats right, when they think a science that is accepted by the rest world is wrong, its labeled a hoax and inconclusive. we could just go back to the days when the world was flat and the sun revolved around the earth

If you’re a liberal or a progressive these days, you could be forgiven for being baffled and frustrated by conservatives. Their views and actions seem completely alien to us—or worse. From cheering at executions, to wanting to “throw up” over church-state separation, to seeking to “drown” government “in the bathtub” (except when it is cracking down on porn, apparently) conservatives not only seem very different, but also very inconsistent.

Even the most well-read liberals and progressives can be forgiven for being confused, because the experts themselves—George Lakoff, Jonathan Haidt and others--have different ways of explaining what they call conservatives’ “morality” or “moral systems.” Are we dealing with a bunch of die-hard anti-government types in their bunkers, or the strict father family? Are our intellectual adversaries free-market libertarians, or right-wing authoritarians—and do they even know the difference?

True.

Most of the more problematic rightists are the ‘strict-father/ authoritarians.’

Republicans become more factually wrong with higher levels of education. Facts clearly don’t change their minds—if anything, they make matters worse! Lakoff, too, emphasizes how refuting a false conservative claim can actually reinforce it.

Ain’t that the truth.

We see it every day here on USMB, where conservatives are confronted with cold, hard, documented facts that clearly demonstrate conservative dogma wrong – and the right ignores the facts altogether.

Yep, you called it, Soggy.

No, the right just knows bullshit when they see it, that is why we despise obamaturd.

Notice the post isn't about concepts or agendas or even strategy. The poster criticizes Republican "belief" structure which includes religion, morality, family values and the freaking Constitution. No wonder left wing bigots hate the GOP.

So modern liberals all actually have Down's Syndrome and the president is literally fecal matter.

Got it.

The Republicans believe in the Constitution about as much as the Democrats do. Both parties cherry pick their favorite parts and ignore the rest.

Science told us two years ago--that Tomatoes were causing Salmonella. It killed the tomato industry for several weeks until they found out it was coming from somewhere else.

Science told us in the 1980's to NEVER eat read meat--as it gave us heart attacks--and everyone starting loading up on the so-called low fat harmless carbohydrates. Our nation is now obese--and type 2 diabetes is the now the number health concern in this nation--and btw--it's now O.K to eat red meat.

I could go on with statements coming from the science community all night long--where they have blown it time and time again--but why bother?

....Especially when you're playing Historian....with no (actual) facts to support your timeline.

tomatos dont "cause" salmonella, they can carry salmonella.
How can salmonella, a bacterium that normally lives inside animal intestines, get on your tomatoes?
Manure, runoff, and wild animals. Livestock animals, especially when kept in large numbers in confined spaces, can contract salmonella and carry the bug without showing any symptoms at all. Infected cows, pigs, and chickens shed the bacteria in their waste, which is sometimes used to fertilize nearby fields. The heat generated when manure is composted kills off most, but not all, disease-causing bacteria.
How do tomatoes get salmonella? - Slate Magazine

and yes, large amounts of red meat can lead to heart disease and heart attacks.
The study of more than 120,000 people suggested red meat increased the risk of death from cancer and heart problems.

Substituting red meat with fish, chicken or nuts lowered the risks, the authors said.

The British Heart Foundation said red meat could still be eaten as part of a balanced diet.

The researchers analysed data from 37,698 men between 1986 and 2008 and 83,644 women between 1980 and 2008.
They said that during the study period, adding an extra portion of unprocessed red meat to someone's daily diet would increase the risk of death by 13%, of fatal cardiovascular disease by 18% and of cancer mortality by 10%. The figures for processed meat were higher, 20% for overall mortality, 21% for death from heart problems and 16% for cancer mortality.

but then again its already been proven that the right doesnt believe in science.

80 years ago, you could have replaced the word "Republican" with the word "Jew" or "Negro" and been very popular in German government. The more things change....

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Just because one disagrees with a scientific opinion does not make one anti science.

This is the lunacy of the left. One must be lock step with a "consensus" now to be pro science. But nothing could be farther from science than "consensus".

Skepticism is at the core of science. It is the heartbeat and challenge of science.

It's lookin' like George Will has (officially) jumped-ship, from the....

U.S.S. CONSERVATIVE ABSOLUTES.

"And with age-related laws restricting the right to drink, drive, marry, serve on juries, etc., all American states have long acknowledged adolescents’ developmental shortcomings. Neuroscience, however, now helps explain why aspects of adolescents’ brains make young people susceptible to impulsive behavior and to failing to anticipate and understand the consequences of it.

Without opening the floodgates to “excuse abuse,” the Supreme Court has accommodated what science teaches. In 2005, the court proscribed imposing the death penalty on someone who committed a murder as a juvenile, arguing that “the susceptibility of juveniles to immature and irresponsible behavior” can diminish the reprehensible nature of their crimes. In 2010, the court proscribed sentences of life without parole for juveniles convicted of a crime other than homicide, arguing that such sentences improperly deny juvenile offenders “a chance to demonstrate growth and maturity."​

Do you lie awake at night dreaming this stupid shit up?

Its a book. No, I didn't write the book.
It has lots of words in it.
Go read some Glenn Beck.

There. Don't be scared.

Feel better?

Y'all realize, doncha, that your reactions to stuff like this only reinforces what it says about you - that you're all a bunch of knee-jerk loony tunes who are incapable of real thought or ideas.

None of you have read the essay or the book and yet you all pretend you have.

Try not to get so defensive ...

Oh crap.
Never mind.

Just carry on with hiding behind your childish name calling.

You take douchebaggery to a new level....

You think because someone refutes your claims "therefore they are?"

Oh and for the record you progressives are fascists - which makes you further right than "those on the right."

There is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with questioning science. If people didn't question science we wouldn't have E= MC2...

Fucking nothings like yourself are retarded people who get bent when what you subscribe to is challenged and you get bent because you're mental midgets that can't handle the possibility that you're wrong.

Truth is - you only post your bullshit because it makes you feel secure in your ignorance - so you have to reaffirm to yourself that you're right, so you post this garbage nonsense.

Your posts are like a Freudian slip.
