Gullibility follows stupidity.
Because only liberals are stupid enough to believe the crap they spew.
And most of them are about as "demonic" as Harry Potter. ;)
I'm more convinced every day that, aside from a few hundred rabid DU'ers, most "liberals" really don't have a well thought-out set of beliefs or values at all. They are actually trying to be nice people, they just have never learned that moral character and genuine self-esteem have to be earned - they can't be given away for free.
There is a great deal of high-quality evidence to support the existence of so-called "psychic" activity. This comment isn't directed at you so much as the close-minded fools on this thread.
P.S. I am a scientist.
FR has the right thinkers and if your thinking is a little nutty...spend enough time at FR and you'll either leave or lose that nutty way of thinking.
Pippin, I'm in Maryland too. Where are you? (You can FReepmail me if you don't want to answer that on the board.)
Some of my guesses:
-"emotional" (even if that's not quite right here) characteristics tend to be related to "liberalism"; rationalism tends to be tied to conservatism
-liberals prefer the devil over God, so if most abilities are of the devil, they'd like that
-alot of these people are loser liars, fakirs, etc, trying to make a buck or get prestige without actually doing anything useful; that's the welfare mentality they're used to
P.S.: I'm from MD, too.
P.P.S.: a paranormal site I've starting checking has a nut on it who not only thinks, but advertises via his avatar/signature (linking some !%#!#$@!@# loony asinine absurd website), that 9/11 was some kind of conspiracy by....drumroll.....the US. More signs that most people really into this kind of thing are LIBERALS.
Psychic predictions of horrible terrorist attack & Bush assasination
Today is June 2, 2004. I am a closet psychic due to my high-profile position in the entertainment biz, however, I have been having major preminitions and visions for months - and lately they are getting stronger and stronger... I TRULY feel that the following will happen later this year so please be careful everyone!!!
TERRORIST ATTACK IN MIAMI
Port of Miami
August 15, 2004
2:12 P.M.
About 5 cruise ships will be lined up in the Port of
Miami on a sunny afternoon. All ships are RCCL and
Carnival except the last ship which is a Norweigen ship
(a dark blue) that's out of service and being
refurbished. At exactly 2:12 pm - during the
embarkation of thousands of cruise passangers - A HUGE
coordinated explosion will rock the world as we know
it. The 4th ship in line blows up first, then the
second, then the first, etc. The Norweigen ship at the
end will catch fire as well... even though it is
farthest away fom the other ships.
The BURNING FLAMES create a plume of BLACK smoke like
nothing Miami has ever seen - like a huge CHEMICAL FIRE
BALL. Miami Beach will be evacuated for fear of
additional attacks. The airport will be shut down. Some
passangers survive the flames by jumping out of their
cabin balconies into the water. Pure chaos. Very
similar to 9/11. Nearly 8,000 people will die in this
tradgedy (most victims are cruise ship staff already on
the ships). The world will mourn, the cruise industry
will be DESTROYED along with the Miami local economy.
The ONLY cruise lines that will be around 5 years from
now will be the Princess/Cunard group. Carnival, RCCL
and Norweigen (all "American" lines) will go bankrupt
Q1 and Q2 2005 - affecting the entire tourisim sector
and beginning the national economic slide.
How they did it:
The terrorists picked this date to coincide with the
anniversary of the US capturing one of their dudes
(don't know which one). Each cruise ship had 2 Al Queda
employees that brought the explosives in suitcases on
board and left them in the luggage areas on the ship
(common during embarkation). The bombs were set off at
the same time through radio control. The terrorists got
off the ships on time - and left the area in a van -
and were the only staff not accounted for at the time
of the explosions. This is how they were discovered to
have been staff.
Then...
2-4 Weeks Before the Presidential Election
Note: I am a Democrat and NOT a fan of Bush, yet my
heart hurts like crazy at the thought of what's going
to happen to George W. Bush this year. About 4 weeks
before the election, George W. will be making a speech
at an elementary school, and upon his exit (outside the
elementary school) he will be gunned down in a
firestorm of bullets that will also injure several
children and kill a young blonde haired, blue eyed nine
year old boy as well. The scene will be reminiscent of
the assasination of Robert F. Kennedy. I feel the
school may be in Florida - the SPACE COAST to be exact,
like in Titusville or Cocoa Beach.
The country will be in terrible shock, the insane
Arab-American gunman will be painted as an Anti-Bush
John Kerry devotee and as a result, Kerry and his
running mate John Edwards will respectfully drop out of
the race... allowing Dick Cheney to run uncontested...
However, just days before the election, Howard Dean
(who will join the race LAST minute) will be
unsurprisingly defeated.
Barbara Bush will have a massive heart-attack 2 weeks
after her son's death and never fully recover.
The economy will go into a major tailspin but stabilize
upon the re-election of Dick Cheney.
DICK CHENEY WILL SERVE 2 TERMS AS PRESIDENT and keep us
at war THE WHOLE TIME... against the faceless
"terrorists". He will turn out to be the country's MOST
UNLIKED PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME. By the end of his second
term, 80% of Americans will believe that he was the
driving force behind Bush's murder.
Why He Did It:
At the end of August, Bush campaigns that if
re-elected, he will pull ALL military personnel out of
the Middle East as a result of the Miami terrorist
attacks. This news makes Americans happy and the
defense industry furious. They approach Cheney and
promise to give him the power and the hit on Bush if he
STAYS AT WAR WITH IRAQ and the Middle East. Believe it
or not, Libya's Kadafi was even asked to "supply" the
hitman to kill Bush in exchange for favorable relations
and Lots of $$$ to him and his country. In other words,
this is the JFK assasination all over again.
That's all. I pray I am just a creative, insane person
or that all of this will be stopped in time. I pray I
am wrong and that this is just my imagination.

in answer to the question: neither leftists nor "psychics" are bound to empirical standards of "function or fail" reality
I am also telling you that I happen to be the President's consultant...kinda like Allison DuBois (the real one that NBC's Medium is based upon) and as one that was identified in basic training in the US Army as highly capable, I volunteer to do this.
For some reason, I never get any information that is useful to the DUmmies.
Out of coincidence, my mom went to school with Maureen Reagan and my dad worked with #41 and others that were in and out of Washington and his friends included Barry Goldwater, who was libeled and slandered by psychiatrists as hired by LBJ back in 64 which screwed up the election.
Besides the psychichic abilities, I also know more about the brain than psychiatrists do and I proved that to a couple of psychiatric nurses yesterday.
When the human guinea pigs have completely overthrown psychiatrists and put them in the soup kitchens, life will be good again.
Of course, the rest of us have to do our part because the major message that mediums are trying to get across is that abuse, violence and crime have to stop. We are living proof that God is watching...
At this point, I would suggest that we work on killing 'em with kindness. While it is fun to zot a troll, it would be even more amusing to thank them for sharing their opinion and explain to them that the first big step towards change is speaking up for what they believe in and let them know that we are willing to have them aboard provided that it is an intelligent debate and with substance and concretet facts and no name calling or put downs.
NOw I will go back and answer individually...
How did you make this determination?
Cause their nuts.
Don't have a clue, but I do know an elderly woman who does Tarrot cards (I'm not into that and have never been read and never will be, but she has many customers who swear by her). She registered and voted for the first time in her life in 2004 specifically to vote against John Kerry because she saw "evil" in Teresa! And her opinion of Hillary is even lower.
I was wondering if you were aware of this particular post.
My friend, Pippin, started it and it has made for lively debate.
I have not gone back and responded to the naysayers on a one to one basis, as I have been a bit busy with other matters, but thought I would share. Ping if you want...

I think they did a voodoo thing on all the Conservative ones.
