Lois Jordan (33) | Friday January 25, 2013, 5:30 pm Noted. I found it interesting that it's considered a conspiracy that G.W. Bush stole the 2004 election....that has been proven. The OH servers were rigged...just as they tried to do it again this year, but were thwarted by Anonymous. Your report has been submitted to Customer Service. Thank you.

Kit B. (308) | Friday January 25, 2013, 5:44 pm I don't accept conspiracy theories, just what kind of conspiracy slips out all over the Internet? I do think, from personal observation, that republicans take an inordinate amount of pride in winning an election. That some one has attempted to "rig" elections is as old as this country, that it is successful is another question. Bush didn't have to "rig" 2000, a Supreme Court Justice step out of his given role, and interfered with a recount. That made the election ripe for controversy, followed quickly by conspiracy.

Carrie B. (217) | Friday January 25, 2013, 6:39 pm I think of one word when reading comments made by many republicans on care2 ~ rigid! That makes them very susceptible to conspiracy theories that support and validate their feelings. Your report has been submitted to Customer Service. Thank you.

Mitchell D. (15) | Friday January 25, 2013, 6:51 pm Fascinating! this explains why there were some people, even as the Nixon presidency was in vvirtual self-destruct mode, late in that jackasses tenure, who believed he was doing a fine job!

Angelika Roll (83) | Friday January 25, 2013, 7:02 pm Interesting -but little surprise there, thx Carrie. But I wonder how exactly the researchers can tell true facts from conspiracy theories. As for the last sentence there, even without that research result we KNOW Obama will have a tough 2nd term simply by experience from the past 4 yrs and repubs words and actions. No pondering.

John B. (130) | Friday January 25, 2013, 9:14 pm Thanks Carrie for the link to the article Chris Mooney and the links provided in the article. Excellent piece.

J.L. A. (85) | Friday January 25, 2013, 9:53 pm Two things of special value in remembering here, based on the actual data: "...as I wrote about in my book The Republican Brain?conservatives are known to have a higher need for cognitive closure?the desire to have a fixed belief, an unwavering sense of certainty, about politics and all aspects of life." That seems to align with an expectation of seeing a rigidity resistant to learning data or facts or ideas affecting the beliefs. "...the idea that everybody is equally biased, but in different directions, continues to have a key weakness?namely, the data." Your report has been submitted to Customer Service. Thank you.

Michael Carney (173) | Saturday January 26, 2013, 2:49 am I just don't even know what the answer is, to try to rationalize with Republicans any more...I have a few family ,members, and friends who are Republicans, and you just can't even talk to them anymore, they come up with some of the wildest shit, I ever heard...You just can't have a normal sane conversation with them anymore...That's not good, when you can't communicate with someone you disagree with...

BG Callahan (0) | Saturday January 26, 2013, 1:02 pm Is the idea of a co-operative civilization, a democratic republic, unsustainable in the long run due to these polarities? Are reactionary strongmen, political and religious, destined to rule all? We who have flexible minds capable of tolerating ambiguity, relative values and ethics, creative solution-finding are hated by many of the Republicans and religionists. We have our work cut out for us, to keep people free. Your report has been submitted to Customer Service. Thank you. There was a problem submitting your report. Please try again later. ? |
pam w. (180) | Saturday January 26, 2013, 3:57 pm Nature always tries to fill a VACUUM. Those who can't be part of the "real" US try to fill their empty heads with conspiracies! And there you are. Probably not a coincidence that the fundamentalists (who just LOVE myths) are so often part of the conspiracist groups. Your report has been submitted to Customer Service. Thank you.

Cyan Dickirs (3) | Saturday January 26, 2013, 5:53 pm There are no standards of neutrality and balance in the mainstream political press. "Carrie" is biased and ignorant. Carter is the only Dem pres who never got very good press. Every other one, from Kennedy to Clinton to BO esp got coddled, praised, protected, polished, primped and excused, their corruptions, mistakes, faux pas, peccadillos, sexual indiscretions, immoralities, outright lies were either ignored, weakly excused while their critics were mercilessly excoriated as ignorant, religious idiots, racist bigots, esp during the BO years.

Pat A. (79) | Sunday January 27, 2013, 5:38 am "Indeed, the noted moral psychologist Jonathan Haidt has found that Republicans are simply more tribal about politics, more loyal and favoring of their in-group (see Figure 1)." The academics have just proved what we have known for a long time now. Thanks Carrie 0 would love to give you and JLA another star but the computer won't let me yet.

LLOYD H. (44) | Sunday January 27, 2013, 6:27 am I disagree with the article, one knows facts, one believes ideology be it political or religious. The Repug/Tea Bagged along with being merged into the fundamentalist absolutism of the Christian Taliban of America have also converted their politics into the same religious model. Failure to believe in and act in accordance with the political ideology of the party are treated as sinners, heretics and apostates and driven out. They have simply begun using 'primaries' as Inquisitions to purge the unfaithful. This religious paradigm of faith and belief leads not only to a susceptibility to conspiracies and witch-hunts but an intentional use of them for power and control. It has become harder and harder to tell whether they have become unable or unwilling to tell the difference between fact and belief. Consider the Romney/Ryan campaign et alia on election night either being divorced from fact or unable to accept that what they believed was not true. And the problem goes on, the Repug/Tea Bagged acting like religious zealots preaching that it is not their Political hymn that is wrong it is the key thay are singing in that is to blame.

Gene Jacobson (158) | Sunday January 27, 2013, 8:52 am "Among Democrats and independents, having a higher level of political knowledge was correlated with decreased belief in conspiracies. But precisely the opposite was the case for Republicans, where knowledge actually made the problem worse. For each political knowledge question that they answered correctly, Republicans' belief in at least one conspiracy theory tended to increase by 2 percentage points." Why does this not surprise me? Oh, right, he got it at the end of the story. The rise of partisan media. In other words, Rupert Murdoch and his stable of faux personalities making up faux news on television, radio and in print. There have never been a more paranoid bunch than the teapublicans, though the republicans follow close on their heels. The very idea of liberty, let me live my way, and you live your way, so long as neither of us harms the other or the others ability to make their own choices in live has died and gone to wherever great ideas go when partisanship kills them dead. My own hope, naive though it is, is that some fine day we'll get back to the idea of true freedom and learn once again what we used to know, we are free only when we are ALL free.

Sheila D. (14) | Sunday January 27, 2013, 11:04 am It's hard to see the forest for the trees when you have blinders on. This has been my experience with quite a few people who consider themselves Republicans. Honestly, I think they really don't want to see a bigger picture as it scares them. They like to think they have control over what is going on in their lives, and it they don't it's much too terrifying to comprehend. I'd rather have an open mind than live in a steel trap.
