Did a Google search on why conservatives have infantile reactions when presented ....

Interesting position. Yet as pointed out to you many times, point #2 is wrong. It is the blue states that subsidize the red states. In spite of having this information, however, you still cling to #2 as accurate. This seems to offer a great example in support of point #1.

Please explain how Democrats could possibly be subsidizing Republicans when people with more money vote Republican?

Or do believe that 50.0000001% makes a state red or blue?

I believe that if it's a vote count it means wining an election, no? Surely the majority party has more power to affect state laws then the minority.

Question- besides all other considerations, does not subscribing to a political philosophy as being superior before evaluating other alternatives result in curtailing ones intellectual freedom? I would say so.

You still believe the red state/blue state lie?

I believe that Mississippi, for example, is overwhelmingly conservative, that they get $2 in federal funds for every federal tax dollar they contribute, and that 40% of their state budget is federal money.

They are the most extreme example. Not just in that, but also in education, income, so forth & so on.

I realize that you're invoking the purple America meme, largely true, but that doesn't explain how more affluent areas, more blue, have pounded money into the poorer areas, more red, for decades, only to find those areas as insular, backward & spiteful as they ever were. That extends across much of purple America, as well.

Maybe that has something to do with what they believe, what they teach their children to believe, and the way they process factual information that's contrary to those beliefs... apparently, the more threatening that contrary information is, the fiercer their resistance becomes.

Maybe they need to learn something from more contemplative conservatives, ones who aren't afraid to think outside of the box-

I won't be able to remember what I have never said. This is all made up by you.

Of course you have. The way you denigrate conservatives say it loud and clear. You are a bigot, plain and simple. If the truth hurts you, it is because living in darkness for so long has made your mind sensitive to the light. Even this little bit of truth causes you great pain, so you must rage against it.

 

[BoberFett]

I have no idea what you think you're showing, but you're doing it poorly.

Typical partisan. Divide humanity into your shallowly conceived ideological groups and try to use them to push your agenda. Pathetic.

If blue states pay for red states, what are all those blue areas doing in red states and vice versa? Or maybe the world isn't quite as simple as your tiny mind would like to believe...

Blue means more affluent? You mean like Detroit? And the ghettos of Washington DC?

You partisans and your hackery know no bounds.

 

[cybrsage]

I could do what I've done in most of the voter id threads and provide you with link after link after link with different studies and different sources and different estimates. All of which show I'm right.

You will continue to show irrelevant links and pretend they support your stance which they do not even attempt to support. In other words, your links about voter disenfranchisement do not support your claim that voter fraud does not exist any more than a link to the specs of the Ford Fiesta support the theories on the collapse of Rome.

We all recognize that this does not matter to you, as you just shown us again. You will continue to pretend a report about one thing actually supports your false stance on something else entirely. Just know it is easily seen and we laugh at you for it. Ha Ha!

More importantly how are Democrats subsidizing Republicans if they are poor?

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html

Vote by income Bush / Kerry
Less Than $50,000 (45%) - 44 / 55
$50,000 or More (55%) - 56 / 43

Please note that having determined that your intentions here are to exacerbate your imbecility while offending the sensibilities of more normal people by revealing that such a pathological and pathetic personality could exist I must exercise my ethical prerogatives not to supply you with material for your grist.

I feel it is wrong to engage in a dialog with somebody who only wants to perfect his sickness. Please feel free not to respond to any of my posts if you can. Such a dogged determination would, I think, only confirm your condition.

With no reference to whom you speak to here or the applicability of your critique to him, I agree that this is what partisans do. I have a thread somewhere I started recently that makes this point I think. The truth is one thing, I think, but what to do with that truth, how to respond rationally or properly to it, is where the rubber meets the road, I think.

Here it is:

Sigh. The federal funding flowing to poorer and redder regions comes from somewhere, and it's not from other redder regions at all.

Citing Detroit & DC reveals who's a hack & who's not... who's having an infantile reaction to facts that contradict their beliefs. But you're just trolling anyway, right?

Here's a list-

But as I pointed out people with money vote Republican.

People without money vote Democrat.

Listen up, noise source. My comment was pushing no agenda other than challenging a specific, simple-minded assertion:

Interestingly, there are but two steps in the proggie play book.
1. Denounce conservatives as mentally defective.
2. Demand that conservatives support them and subsidize their housing, health care, child care, education, Internet access . . .
[ pointless prattle deleted ]

Interesting position. Yet as pointed out to you many times, point #2 is wrong. It is the blue states that subsidize the red states. In spite of having this information, however, you still cling to #2 as accurate. This seems to offer a great example in support of point #1.

Two more points, just for you. First, if you want to be anything more than just another useless partisan hack, you might note who first "Divide[d] humanity into [his] shallowly conceived ideological groups and [tried] to use them to push [his] agenda." Yes, he's on your side so you undoubtedly want to ignore this inconvenient fact. But, that's what makes this an opportunity for you to show you have anything useful to contribute. Otherwise, you're just a brainless RNC puppet, no better than the Cybrsages and Nehalems of P&N.

Second, yes, of course my counterpoint was a broad oversimplification. It was not intended to be an in-depth treatise on American money flow by financial, political, and geographic demographics. It was an in-kind counterpoint to a similarly broad generalization. Either you can't understand that because you're an imbecile, or you refuse to understand that because you're a tool. Either way, the main difference between my comment and Werepossum's is mine is statistically accurate, albeit far from the complete story. His is self-serving whining.

Yes, America is very much a purple country. So what? It doesn't change the data showing that those states that lean more to the left subsidize those states that lean more to the right (on the average, based on federal tax dollars paid vs. federal tax dollars received).

So, get back to me once you've explained to Werepossum that the "world isn't quite as simple as [his] tiny mind would like to believe." Until then, you're inconsequential, another pointless partisan noise source wasting elections on P&N. Have a nice day.

Mere assertion is not fact.

But he believes! He feels it must be true. It is therefore, for him, even better than fact.

Dear Corn, I do not understand your post. I am on a quest to find out how to help conservatives overcome some mental defects science has found that they have. There's no doubt about the science, but little knowledge as to what to do because the defect prevents they from believing in what science says. They live in a alternate universe divorced from reason, logic, and rational thinking. That's a very bad place to be and difficult, I'm sure you can see, to cure.

Just for example, climate change is threatening world economies and science has proven it, but the lunatics on the right block any effort to avert disaster because they are afraid of a bigger disaster, that they will have to pay more in taxes to save themselves and the economy to boot.

In short having conservatives with their hands on the voting lever is like allowing blind people to drive. But they care more about their egos and beliefs than they do even about extinction.

So it really is incumbent on any rational person to want to find a way to cure this dangerous mental illness.

Know, therefore, that I googled the topic that I did because I have other threads on the topic full of just such mental buffoons, who laugh like children at the possibility they have defective brains. I happened on the quote I posted because it was the first hit. I don't give a crap about whatever site hosts it. I found it purely by random and posted it because the opinions expressed match the scientific evidence that conservatives are defective in rational thinking. Come to think of it, you post may mirror that.

If you think I take pride in discovering a link you're probably mad. Pride is what egotists seek. They worry if they think somebody might have more than they do. They are motivated by it because they were manipulated by shame as children. It's what locks conservatives into sheep packs, the sacrifice of mental faculty in exchange for the security of being the same.

boy, the resident righties act all butthurt when they get called out on the typical lazy reasoning they employ day in and day out

if you get tired of the intellectual left calling you all stupid and lazy thinkers then just stop being stupid and lazy. Use your God given minds every once in a while and look at a topic and or issue with a critical eye.

But no...that would be asking too much to employ logic and reason.

and the beat goes on...
