Can Science Explain Tea Partiers’ Rage? (via Moyers & Company)
A growing body of research suggests that we are a nation divided not only by partisanship or how we view various issues, but also by dramatically different cognitive styles. Sociologists and psychologists are getting a better understanding about the…

Using logic or facts to persuade a conservative is as effective as using Morse Code to convince a shark not to eat you. I’ve become convinced that the best and greatest service of gene therapy to humanity would be to eliminate these destructive cretins from the gene pool.
Gee Ron, Henry Ford and Hitler held very similar points of view as you’ve expressed. Anyway it’s not the average conservative brain that requires persuasion. It’s the 1% who spend billions of dollars to convince these folks that what they believe is correct and everybody else is a demon. Take Cruz’s father for example. The 1% knows very well that most conservatives are fools. But they need them to vote in a hateful block so that their wealth and power can be maintained. Why, for example, is feeding hungry people even an issue? Because the Republicans who are paid-for lobbyists of the 1% refuse to raise the taxes of their masters. This is all about the loathing for the poor that the greedy 1% nurtures amongst the members of that group. Divide an conquer with self-hatred.
