Those Darn Facts: Liberal Professor shocked to discover...sm
Posted: Oct 17, 2013
Tea Party smarter than average. Dan Kahan, the Elizabeth K. Dollard Professor of Law and Professor of Psychology at Yale Law School was curious about the relationship between ”science comprehension“ and political outlooks. His findings shocked him: tea party supporters are actually more scientifically literate than the non-tea party population I’ve got to confess, though, I found this result surprising. As I pushed the button to run the analysis on my computer, I fully expected I’d be shown a modest negative correlation between identifying with the Tea Party and science comprehension. But then again, I don’t know a single person who identifies with the Tea Party. All my impressions come from watching cable tv — & I don’t watch Fox News very often — and reading the “paper” (New York Times daily, plus a variety of politics-focused internet sites like Huffington Post & Politico). I’m a little embarrassed, but mainly I’m just glad that I no longer hold this particular mistaken view. (Excerpt) Read more at culturalcognition.net ... ;

ONE study and you are a changed person - Wow.
[ In Reply To ..]I didn't need a study to tell me not to generalize - I would imagine there are some BRILLIANT people in the tea party.
Unfortunately the majority of the brilliant ones IN that party are likely using the zealots to boost their careers.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html By ANDREW OSBORN MOSCOW -- For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010.

I Was Actually Shocked Speechless YesterdayNov 24, 2009
I know it's hard to believe, but I was actually shocked speechless yesterday. I went into store that just opened up a few months ago in the town next to me. It is an accessories store. They sell knockoff designer handbags, sunglasses, scarves, jewelery and other things. I was talking to the man who owned the store as I was browsing the items. I had picked out a few things I liked and was planning on purchasing them. Then, as we were discussing the handbags he had in the store, he showed me ...

That Darn Old Arithmetic Sep 11, 2012
Has He!! frozen over? (Fox and Friends) The show's mistake was to compare the official unemployment figure in 2009 with the so-called "real" unemployment figure in 2012. That figure takes into account data which is not included in the official number, such as people who have stopped looking for work. Thus, it is always higher than the official figure. (Official unemployment is actually .3 percentage points higher than in 2009, while "real" unemployment is .7 percentage points l ...

Obama's mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a member of the Communist party USA #47544 who wrote pro-Soviet propaganda (lies) for newspaper columns. If you didn't grow up in the 50's and 60's you won't understand how paranoid Americans were that Communist spies were entering our country in droves, and how many Nazi soldiers and commanders who fled Germany moved to Argentina or Canada (closer to us). So the Communists from the old Soviet Union did come here and contin ...
