GOP and Critical Thinking or lack thereof?

[signalmankenneth]

Texas GOP rejects ‘critical thinking’ skills. Really. - The Answer Sheet - The Washington Post

Critical thinking is a type of thinking that questions assumptions. It is a way of deciding whether a claim is always true, sometimes true, partly true, or false.

Ken nails it again....

 

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

Here's MY critical thinking, Kenny...

WHERE ARE THE GODDAMN JOBS?

WHERE IS THE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND GROWTH?

WHAT HAS "HOPE AND CHANGE" DONE FOR US?

WHY WOULD WE GIVE THIS FUCKING MARXIST 4 MORE YEARS TO DESTROY AMERICA?

While you've got your critical thinking hat on, pondering those questions, how about thinking on what we can tell the past 4 classes of university graduates, who have diplomas in hand, but can't find a job? They don't show up in the shitty unemployment numbers because they've never had a job to be unemployed from, they can't find one! Some of them were still in high school when Obama was elected, and some of them were already pursuing their college careers, and they all had such high hopes for Obama and the future, but the one thing they all have in common now, is no job.

Yeah, I'd say it's time for some critical thinking, America. We need to think about whether we want to continue watching anti-capitalist Marxism destroy the American way of life and the American dream before our very eyes, or if we want to take back our country and restore authentic American principles and values.

 

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

Yes.... and you forgot some things....


The rest of the world will again hate and loathe us for who we are.

Hungry people all over the world will starve and die.

Sick people will die as well....and we won't care, we'll just let people die!

Rich people, corporate fat cats and CEOs, investment bankers and speculators, will be screwing everyone in the streets...

Corporations and Wall Street will be lumbering through our lives gobbling up all that we own and every opportunity we have!

Old people will be pushed off cliffs!

Poor kids will be starved to death on purpose!

Women will be forced to bear children against their will... chained to kitchen sinks with no shoes to wear!

Those women who don't comply will be forcibly raped by Christian white men!

Chunks of sky will literally begin to fall down upon us from all the carbon that is released by electing Republicans!

Little fuzzy kittens and puppies will immediately be executed as part of the inaugural ceremonies.

They will repeal the 13th, 14th, 15th 17th and 19th amendments to the constitution, and re-institute slavery.

They will get us involved in even MORE wars.... oh wait, we're already doing that... nevermind!

They will re-open Gitmo... oh wait, we never did close that... nevermind again!

Okay, I think I have about covered it!

WHERE ARE THE GODDAMN JOBS WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IN EXCHANGE FOR TAX CUTS?

WHERE IS THE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND GROWTH WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IN EXCHANGE FOR TAX CUTS?

WHAT HAS "TRICKLE DOWN" DONE FOR US?

WHY WOULD WE GIVE THIS FUCKING REPUBLICAN PARTY 4 MORE YEARS TO DESTROY AMERICA'S MIDDLE CLASS?

 

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

What are you yammering about, Hairdoo?

The Democrats control Congress and the White House.

The last tax cut was in 2003... almost a decade ago. It DID produce jobs and prosperity.

Trickle Down gave us over 30 years of economic prosperity, a longer stretch than we've ever known before.

Hope? Change? What have they done in 4 years, other than to make things more miserable? And it doesn't matter what aspect you want to look at.. jobs, economics, opportunities, culturally, socially, racially... it doesn't matter, we are worse off than 4 year ago, in EVERYTHING!

The tax cuts were renewed since then. Cite some evidence that they produced jobs and prosperity, or be branded a liar.

I'm not. Must suck to be a loser like you.

Renewed doesn't mean cut. You mean to say they weren't increased? They also weren't made permanent, but extended. The cuts expire in 2013, and taxes will go up. Taxes still have no been cut since 2003. In 2003, when they WERE cut, we realized about 4 million jobs from it. This would have been more if it had followed the Reagan-O'Neil model of Trickle Down, because the Bush tax cuts included cuts for all taxpayers, not just the job creators.

Cite some evidence that Trickle Down gave us over 30 years of economic prosperity, or be branded a liar again.

Matter of economic record of the United States, you can look that up. From Reagan through Bush, Clinton, and really into the next Bush administration, we had positive economic growth and prosperity, the longest run in American history. It wasn't until enough Reagan policies and tax cuts were 'mitigated' by the less-than-Reagan-conservatives and socialists, that we started experiencing problems, and it's been downhill ever since.

I'm not. Must suck to be a loser like you.

You're the exception, is all I can say. But then, we all knew you were!

So Dixie cannot prove that his claims are true, and thus was lying?

so Hairdoo can't admit he has been pwned and has to create an alter reality?

They're all drinking John Bircher cool aid. It's pathetic.

Whenever the 'stupid' gene reveals itself by charging Obama with marxism, socialism, etc., I put any hope for an informed discussion on a shelf. These idiots are good for nothing but laughs here.
