Reply #228: One thing I know already, about today's repukelicans

[No Exit]

The people currently calling themselves republicans will follow blindly. Those people will follow whatever person or entity has power. Those people are cowed and impressed by power.

The people currently calling themselves republicans do not like science because science asks questions. It's hard to follow blindly when questions arise. They call their blind, sheeplike, following "faith".

But faith is something which should be reserved for times when we really, really, can't know the answer. At such times, there is nothing left but faith. Repukelicans use what they call "faith" to close their eyes deliberately to whatever doesn't make sense--even if the answer is waiting to be found. Repukes are mentally lazy.
