Republicans Are Crazy
For anyone wondering why some Republican can think things are going well in Iraq I may have an answer for you. I was read an article about the Kagan family. After reading the article I read some of the comments. One person wrote, "The war over, it's the peace that's killed." That is just a crazy statement. If there were an actual peace people would not still be dying. Republicans are just crazy.

2. Crazy and stupid - the two most common ways to absolve people of responsibility....
... I buy neither. They make their choices freely, knowingly, and cognizant of the difference between right and wrong. They're just evil.

3. How about crazy, stupid, AND evil?
That about covers it for me.

5. You know what I think it is?
Edited on Sat Apr-05-08 11:43 AM by Marr
They've been trained to think by right-wing talk radio. I don't just mean talk radio has told them *what* to think, though obviously it has. I mean talk radio has taught them *how* to think.

Discussing any issue with a person like this always goes the same way. They *begin* with a conclusion, and they will never be moved from it. They support their claim not with logic or facts-- but with cute little word games and slogans. Any evidence that counters their claims is dismissed out of hand by either questioning the source or pointing out some random offense by their political opponents. Their mode of "thought" is more like a systemized way of *preventing* thought.

They don't actually examine issues at all. They just put on a mini-Sean Hannity Show and support their "team".
