71% Of Republicans Said Obama Not Born In USA; 40% Said Cruz Born In US

[Atreus21]

Let me guess; "lol, Libural Sheeple getting butt-hurt over King Obama. Wurs the outrage over the mass murders in Chicago?"

Republican Party: Home of the misinformed xenophobic bigots who can't calculate the cube root of 8.

Pathetic

Maybe back in the sixties the left had a similar population of airheads, but I don't recall it.

hp lovecraft had it right all along. Those closed insular small towns that started worshiping the old gods began to transform into something not human.

Observable reality is an enemy of the Republican party, which is why they fight it on all fronts.

It's part of a system of what really is unquestionable religious faith rather than rational thought.

Seriously, I really wish people like DSF were correct. Alas, being incorrect and intellectually dishonest is much more their speed.

Check the thread topic. Try to address it in at least a tangential fashion.

Perhaps you should direct your comments toward kage69...he's the one that brought up the subject in the first place and I was responding directly to him, not you. You OK? You seem to be having trouble focusing on reality. Seriously, you high?

Holy shit...everything we heard from liberals was that Bush stole that election...hell, we still hear it to this day. And FYI dumbass, Bush would have won without the SCOTUS decision. What color is the sky in your delusional world?

No one knows what would have happened without the SCOTUS issuing a decision that was and is, in no way, precedent, because no one knows what the state Supreme court would have done given another month+.

Keep up that hero worship, though. I'm sure you bought the BushII action figure and have it prominently displayed in your house somewhere.

Also: Benghazi.

 

[Bowfinger]

He brought up the military and how they should love Obama because he wants to give them a raise. WTF is wrong with you? Are you high?

No, you have it backwards. He brought up some Foxoholic who believes Obama hates the military:

"I heard a car dealership manager make some comment about how Obama just hates the military"
​

The odds are quite good he is also one of the OP's 71%.

Bush is not my hero, and whatever gave you that impression? Let's get real here.

Yet, which party had the President who used it in making their decisions?

My wife bought me the Bush action figure as a gag. I still have it.

She did pad his basket a little, just for enhanced manliness.

As you say, the water gets pretty murky around Florida & the 2000 election. Like it or lump it, the SCOTUS settled it.

Resemblance to Birtherism is slight. Hell, the whole thing is *dumber than Benghazi* which says a lot about the adherents.

Thank you. And yes, for what it's worth, every TV in the place was tuned to Fox Noise I noticed. I really doubt that's a coincidence.

 

[HomerJS]

I'm not defending birthers. It seems like it's really hard for you to focus...you OK?

You defend the birthers by rationalizing there are an equal amount of nuts on the left who deny reality.

Math/statistics seem to prove you wrong.

Again embrace science dude!

That's different from Christian faith in what way, exactly?

 

[Mani]

What about the 60-70% of people who lie on polls?

I sincerely do not believe that that is representative of Republicans. Somebody needs to check their facts. people aren't that dumb.

You underestimate the rampant stupidity in today's Republican party. They've seriously gone off the reservation.

I am very progressive and I give conservatives the benefit of the doubt sometimes. Not all the time, but, I try not to see everything through the polarized filter.

49% of democrats knew that the earth went around the sun and took a year to do so. 62% of republicans knew this.

Your turn.

Do we think that those numbers are accurate measurements of Knowledge of our solar system, or rather, do you think they are more about Americans as a whole having really really shitty reading comprehension? Or about baited questions? Or people selecting the funny option on a poll?

Maybe the vast majority of people in here are right, we ATers are swimming in a vast ocean of retardation, and slowly, the AT Forum boat is sinking. I hope we make landfall before that happens.

 

[Bart*Simpson]

7 years later and providing a birth certificate - yet this still happens;

He provided a .pdf of a birth certificate that has been 'enhanced' and has had several words altered. The serial number on the birth certificate is out of sequence with the other births recorded at Kapiolani Medical Center (its current name) in the same time period.

And where Obama spent quite a bit of effort to resist Federal lawsuits demanding that he release what is supposedly an innocuous form with harmless information on it should cause any rational person to question:

1. The veracity of the birth certificate which, if genuine should cause you to question...

2. The judgment and motivations of Obama for not publishing it when Hillary Clinton first raised the subject.

Nice dodge.


Sounds like classically liberal repubs are compensating for social conservative repubs, the ones with less cognitive abilities. This pretty much confirms my experience of conservative policy leaning liberals being smarter and more informed than the social authoritarians who think classical liberalism and secularism are curse words.

I thought Noah Carl put together a good piece on it (used GSS WORDSUM for intelligence testing as well) in Intelligence, vol 44 from this past May.

Like it or not, research has consistently shown that intelligence is positively correlated with socially liberal beliefs and negatively correlated with religious beliefs. I think some people, probably you too, push the party ID as the filter here as they know bringing religion into it won't work out well for them. Maybe it's why you didn't bother to address Jhhnn's post with a relevant answer?

Saw this in your link:

"The results presented in this paper for astrology are similar to those for knowing that the Earth revolves around the Sun, but not the same as for some other scientific beliefs, such as a belief in the evolution of humans from other animals (e.g., only 32.4% of Republicans in 2012 believe in evolution). The relationship between science and politics is much more complex than the one -sided approach reported by most social scientists and journalists.

Funny how all these smart republicans somehow don't believe in something that's proven and observable, but nevermind, the last sentence there kinda says it all for me.
