This web site is dedicated to the eradication of irrational thinking.
Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,
through the application of the scientific method.

Conservative political commentator George Will warned Republicans about Trump in April of 2017 (7:02)
Since that video was made, everything George Will said has been magnified a hundred times.
Yet Republicans continue to sell out their country ... for power.

Panspermia (the theory that life began on Earth after arriving from outer space)
Another classic Novella take-down
It is definitely worth the time (great training) to watch how Novella destroys this guy's argument.
This guy wasn't some religious nut or political "useful idiot" - but a well-qualified scientist;
which is what makes this dissection all that much more impressive.
Even scientists are vulnerable to irrationality when they allow their egos to outgrow their brains.

I would like to see a breakdown by political affiliation.
I am curious to see if there are ANY Republicans on the list.

On the same day that Russian agent Maria Butina was indicted,
the NRA pressured Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to ...
legalize 'dark money'
Republicans no longer even bother to try to hide their treason.
The only explanation for that, is that they know ...
that they OWN their base of idiots

Here is a comparison (13 pages) between
the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights v.
The Republican Party platform
Human rights don't even register as an issue in the Republican party;
which is not surprising once you understand
that their singular purpose is to transfer as much wealth as possible
from the masses ... into the pockets of the rich.

Republicans have been attacking FBI agents, claiming they were anti-Trump.
In response, Democratic Representative Gerry Connolly from Virginia
brilliantly uses sarcasm to expose the hypocrisy of the Republican party.
This is truly, one of the greatest Ass-Whoopins in Congressional history (5:00):
Now that's how you do it

Trump insults crowd right to their face ... and they cheered him!
People that stupid should not be allowed out in public ... without guards.
For those of you who still don't get it, I will explain:
He tricked them by acting like he was praising their loyalty,
but in reality, he was telling them that they were so incredibly stupid,
that he could do anything he wanted (even shoot someone) ...
and they would still support him.
And sadly ... time would prove him right

The evolution of the Republican party can be divided into 3 periods:
They began as the "Party of Lincoln" and were responsible ending slavery;
which had been supported mainly by Southern Democrats (the South was completely "Blue").
But when Democratic President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964
and the Voting Rights Act in 1965, racist elements within the Southern Democrats felt betrayed
and switched their allegiance to the Republican party (that's why the South is now "Red").
Nixon took advantage of this to win the presidency in 1968 by instituting the "Southern Strategy."
About 40 years later, the Republican party continued its voyage to "The Dark Side"
as the Plutocrats concentrated their efforts on America's most gullible and easily manipulated faction ... "Evangelicals."
Evangelicals are Christians in name only. They stand against everything that Jesus stood for ...
but they can't get enough of Jesus' Old Man: you know, the Guy who never met a living creature, animal or human ...
that He didn't want dead.
The Plutocrats molded the Republican party into a cohesive voting unit built around a party platform
that catered to its various factions: Evangelicals, Racists, and Greedy Capitalists
(those are Capitalists who are cursed with uncontrollable greed).
That was a brief, general overview of the moral degradation that has turned a once-proud political party
into an enemy of the people: the greatest enemy America has faced ... since the Civil War.
To quote President Trump ... #SAD

There is a negative correlation between cognitive ability and ...
both religion and conservatism
This should be pretty obvious to anyone who has debated online with either type.
But what the study doesn't address is the amazing level of arrogance
that these cognitively-challenged conservatives display.
They are willing to sink to any level of immaturity to avoid admitting they are wrong.
