“The most recognizable thing about the modern Republican is that they do not appear to experience cognitive dissonance in the same way as other human beings.”

msbadger replied on Oct 22, 2009 at 21:20:43

“Bongborg: I think they DO experience it, MORE than most, and it is exemplified in them. They will believe nothing that does not fit their dogma. But I get what you meant, and right on...”

“That cognitive dissonance thing is over their heads. One must first be
able to think to recognize the contradictions in their dogma.”

“Where was all the Kansan laughter when their legislators decided the Earth was only 6,000 years old?”

kansasexpat replied on Sep 22, 2009 at 22:20:31

“Where were they? Immediately organizing opposition and voting those folks right back out of office. Those religious conservatives are mighty sneaky, running for local offices that nobody usually pays any attention to.”

“One of the members on the then Bd of Education who pushed the redefinition of science to include spiritual explanations was a woman whose political website stated she was healed from the effects of childhood sexual abuse by Christianity. Her main beef was that the children of migrant workers, who are the backbone of the beef-slaughterhouse industry in western Kansas, her district, and highly exploited (see or read Fast Food Nation) should not get public education on our dime.

God is listening, if there is a god!!!!”

“Began with Helen Blavatsky? Look back about 400 years further.”

Intelligentia replied on Sep 22, 2009 at 01:25:23

“You're right, but I did not want to go that far for mordern White superiority advocacy. In fact it goes more than 400 years. Try the biblican times (Ham's (Noah's son) curse), which I believe is more than four hundred years. Sticking with 400 years, one need not look further than William Shakrspeare's Merchant of Venice and Othello. We can also begin by looking at writings of the so-called father of human rights (John Locke) who happens to own stocks in the slave trade. For those interested in an in-depth treatment of the subject of White Supremacy movement, I recommend: "Race and Racism" edited by Bernard Boxill. Good input though.”
