faith based douchbaggery?
Piss-poor rear-guard suppression fire on behalf of his de facto political allies. A fourth-grader could explain to him how ID and creationism are merely anti-science, proposing to answer every question with "Why don't we just say God did it and call it a day, 'K?" Me, I'm too old to try. Let him flail and drown when the rest of Good Ship Rightwingery finally takes on too much water...
I agree with Teh, let them roll around in their own nutso poop and call 'em on it as the try to wash it off when the winger balloon bursts.
I have a tendency to believe that a lot of the people that espouse the ID, creationism, no stem cell research, &tc lines actually don't believe it themselves. It's more to give them street cred in the wingoshpere. Do you think that's right or are there more true believers than I care to credit them for?
My Dad was something of a card and really enjoyed the whole realm of the conspiracy theorists. As a kid we would argue for hours about flat earth, fluoride, and the faked lunar landing. He was pretty good at it but never believed a word of it. He just loved putting people on. So I'm always left with the feeling that these people can't be serious.
I think most are serious. They come to their conclusions based on th same logical games that allow they to justify seemingly any contrary to reality thought. It's all silly games. They want something to be true, and argue towards that.
Your dad sounds hilarious- did he listen to Art Bell?
Did you try to Sadly, No this thread?
what sucks is it doesn't work here. It sure works at ezra klein though.
