Jackpine Radical tells a bouncy...

Star Member Jackpine Radical (43,370 posts)

A few incidental cues to the RW mind--


Prolog
Many years ago, my cousin & I hatched a plan to leave giant footprints in my uncle's garden, so I made a pair of big plaster feet, just scaled up from a tracing of my own feet.

Story
My Favorite Wingnut buys into all that cable TV stuff about ancient astronauts, etc. One time he asked me if I believed in Bigfoot. I said I knew they exist because I had seen their tracks in the pine forests of the Penokee Range, and I had the plaster casts to prove it. I emailed him a picture of the old plaster feet.

He fell for it.

Hook, line & sinker.

Without hesitation.

The same guy is a climate change denier, claims it's a conspiracy to institute One World Government.


I've thought about it a lot. These people seem to have a childlike credulity about some things, and a readiness to take positions on matters about which they have no clue, based n what some authority figure has told them. If we could just figure out their credulity trigger…

Did this happen before or after you hit the bong? Lot of projection in that last statement.

Well your uncle is partially right about climate change.  A select, handful of billionaires will make billions if we implement the carbon-tax bullshit that liberals want.

I went looking for the creative speculation forum here at CC.
Can someone point me towards it?

Remind me again which forum has to relegate their truthers to a obscure forum like Offbeat News > Creative Speculation

Peggy Joseph has been disabused of that notion, but unfortunately too late.
The damage is already done.
She sees owebuma now as the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain that toto has just exposed.

Jackpine Radical is so stupid that when he reads DU he thinks reading a RW website.

More and more of the (D)Ullards seem to think the same way.

Good!  :cheersmate:

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Must've been watching Bugs Bunny or Foghorn Leghorn cartoons while indulging in his preferred recreational chemicals.

The problem with his story is the part about, "all that cable TV stuff about ancient astronauts". That's more of a Unitarian Universalists (who tend to be liberal) and New Age (also mostly liberals) kind of thing. Maybe some cable TV channel somewhere has picked up on it, but that idea traces back at least to Eric Von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods. I read it out of curiosity when I was 17 ... couldn't believe any reasonably intelligent person would buy his "evidence".

When I was younger, I used to believe in UFOs as in people from another planet far more advanced than us. No more. Logic dictates that they don't exist.

Ancient Aliens airs on the history channel. 

Why the hell would conservatives Christians subscribe to the belief that aliens are responsible for life on Earth, and not God?
