Amazing Discovery About Republicans Brains
Edited on Sun Nov-09-03 04:26 PM by corarose
Scientists have located a Republican's brain that was buried for over 100 years. At first they thought that it was a wad of gum that the Man had crewed right before dying but upon further investigation they discovered that it was actually the dead mans brain and that it had shot out of his nose when he sneezed and coughed too hard.

Upon further investigating why this man's brain had shrunk over the years they discovered that it hadn't shrunk and that it was the original size that he had before dying from a massive brain loss.

Further investigations on why Republicans have small brains and less intelligence then Democrats done by Scientists tell us that Republicans are missing a portion of their brain that helps them make decisions on their own.

When Dr.Smartson was asked why Republicans brains only function by choice he said the it was because that part of the brain was missing and that they couldn't think on their own.
Dr.Smartson then said that he has studied Democrats, Independents and Republicans and Republicans are the only ones that have the missing area from their brain and that they can function the same as anyone else but they are not like anyone else.

Some of the discoveries that Dr. Smartson observed were.

Republicans.
1. Need to be told what to do because they can't make up their own minds.
2. Republicans believe only what they want to believe and their brain can't process rationalization.
3. Stealing is alright as long as it is done by a Republican.
4. As a Republican gets older their brain shrinks and becomes even smaller which makes them forget about Historical facts and they process the information the way that they want it to be and that's why they confuse the truth from a lie.

Also, Historians are also reporting that the size of Ronald Reagan's Brain is the size of a quarter and he has had to several surgeries on his nose to keep his brain from falling out while he was in office.

There is a rumor going around that during the time that George W. Bush went AWOL he was hurt while flying a plane over Nam Texas and was hit in the head and he had to have a baboons brain transplanted into his cranium. That is why he is so simian like.

2. Well, that explains a lot
laugh though we may, there is a certain scientific truth to this theory, and I think it is worth delving into.

those who are into being republican (or fundamentalists also fit in that mold), I've often thought must have something different wired in their brains that keeps hem from being able to make distinctions in the gray area of things, want to label things black and white, and also not be able to process information that is disagreeable, and who believe that there is one, indisputable, absolute truth.

of course, grab a handful of republicans, and compare any group of fundamentalists, and you might find some different truths - but each individual person will be absolutely 100% sure that their truth is total truth.

Unlike the liberal (using that term in the tradtional sense of "liberal arts", etc.) is able to take a truth, but see the holes, and still take the truth. So the liberals can take the Bible, say "He - creationcouldn't have been done in a day, and what about evolution?" and still remain Christian (or even Jewish). The republican/fundamentalist mind cannot, and must force science to fit into their sense of biblical truth.

Or they say, "I'm married and hetero; therefore, the only possible way to be is hetero and married" or "my mother had children, so therefore, all women should have children." etc.

And their brains are wired for accepting - even strongly desiring - that someone be an authority. Group conensus doesn't work for them, and co-leaders don't work for them. The want to be "given" the truth, instead of searching for it themselves.

And of course, who are the ones who give them the truth? The psychotics, who realize that they will have great power over those people.

3. Psychotics you got that right
We need to pick there brains apart and find out why a portion of it does not function.

4. it's something I've long wondered about
and I mean that seriously - I truly wonder if some of the difference between the fundamentalist mind-set and the liberal/critiquing mind-set is an inherent biological difference, and if our differences as people goes beyon idealogy, and into the realm of an insurmountable biological difference.

If biological, that raises a whole new world of required ethical thought about politics, religion, and art.

5. I use to ask questions that Teachers couldn't answer
You sound like me with what questions that you ask.

I can bet that someday in the future someone will do a study on our era in order to find out how Republicans brains functions. I also think that they will do testing on the brains of the long gone republicans that have been "Frozen".

8. Perhaps it's a headline we'll see in the not too far off future.
REPUBLICAN GENE DISCOVERED; 'NEW, IMPROVED' BABY BOOM FORECASTED.

So I'm guessing the fundies' heads will explode from cognitive dissonance when they realize they can use stem cell research and "cure liberalism" in their unborns, or some such foolish behavior.

Place your bets.

9. It has to be a recessive gene
Or some kind of mental imbalance.

6. There was actually a recent study about how conservative minds work.
If anyone has that bookmarked, I'd love to read it again.
