related disease. nt

3. Not only that... they are just plain Psychopaths....

.... they vote against their own best interest and bring everybody else down because of their stupid religion and outdated superstitions.

I don't care if they want to handle snakes and roll in the aisle at some chuch and hang out with Sarah Palin... but jeez oh pete... why do they have to get in my face? They love to take Social Security away from Seniors, see young kids go hungry in America and kill civilians with drone missiles.... all in the name of their "Gaawwd"?

I wish Republicans would go FAR away.. forever... they are sick puppies..

5. "Tauntology".. that is a great word....

Def:

•"In common parlance, an utterance is usually said to be tautologous if it contains a redundancy and says the same thing twice over in different words--e.g., ' John is the father of Charles and Charles is a son of John.' In logic, however, a tautology is defined as a statement that excludes no logical possibilities--'Either it is raining or it is not raining.' Another way of putting this is to say that a tautology is 'true in all possible worlds.' No one will doubt that, irrespective of the actual state of the weather (i.e., regardless of whether the statement that it is raining is true or false), the statement 'Either it is raining or it is not raining' is necessarily true."
(E. Nagel and J. R. Newman, Gödel's Proof, 1958)
