Satanists Distance Themselves From Pro-Abortion âoeHail Satanâ Chants

Just last night I started calling Democrats "Satanists." If Reid calls Republicans "anarchists" and Pelosi calls them "terrorists," I figure it's acceptable now to call people terrible names that are not based in any facts or reason. But, then, I am being unfair to Satanists.

Reid calls Republicans "anarchists"
Anarchist: a person who believes that government and laws are not necessary (source [merriam-webster.com])
Right. He clearly lied.
Pelosi calls them "terrorists,"
Terrorism: the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal (source [merriam-webster.com])
Right. She clearly lied.
It is really not hard to place the recent tea party catalyzed actions of the house republicans under those definitions using facts.
You're lying, you Satanist pedophile. Please stop being a total ass by pretending that they made any sense. Thanks!

The republicans showed they are not at all hesitant to use violence to threatten the people into their belief structure.

the republicans are willing to shut down the government to push their minority agenda through.
You're a liar. Republicans passed a bill to keep the government running. If the Democrats refuse to act on it, literally and explicitly and intentionally they are the ones shutting down government.

These normal and normally reliable processes of knowledge transmission break down when risk or like facts are transformed (whether through strategic calculation or misadventure and accident) into divisive symbols of cultural identity. The solution to this problem is not—or certainly not necessarily!—to divest citizens of the power to contribute to the formation of public policy. It is to adopt measures that effectively shield decision-relevant science from the influences that generate this reason-disabling state (Kahan et al. 2006).
For a quick glance, this is some solid research.
Best wishes on restoring "decision-relevant" research to any status. For example, anything to do with the EPA I assert is biased in favor of the anthropogenic global warming/sustainable growth mafia, until thoroughly proven otherwise. Too much malarky afoot.
I'd like to see some research that ventures into the realm of source, as opposed to the topic, of the information. For example, if the NRA comes out with a

See? You obliterate the message with obsession over the messenger. And the study does cover that, through 'framing'. This study is just one of many on the same subject. It's all old stuff, and can be boiled down to conditioning and how it subjugates human reasoning to produce a desired result. Pavlov and Skinner showed how it's done in much simpler and direct terms.

How does asking for a full read of the 5Ws in any away do other than substantiate valid inputs?
Just because you can show

I didn't. I pointed out the fact that you were lying when you said lawfully and peacefully shutting down a manmade organization is an act of violence.
Shutting down the federal government is a very violent act.
You're a liar.
the republicans just insisted on a measure that would shut down the government
You're a liar. In fact, they passed -- not insisted on -- a measure TO FULLY FUND government, except for one particular measure they were, in large part, elected to prevent from being implemented.
The republicans have been unwilling to negotiate with the democrats

Exactly. THAT would be violence. But no one has done any such thing. Saying otherwise is idiotic.
There are three implicit, and obvious, lies in the claim that Republicans shutting down government is a violent act.
1. "The Republicans are shutting down government." No such action has been taken. At this point, if government shuts down, it would be the Democrats' fault, because the Republicans passed a bill to fund it and the Democrats haven't taken it up.
2. "The Congress has an obligation to fund governm

You're lying. I have never once said, ever, that someone who is using their constitutional legislative powers is "inciting a riot" or anything similarly bad, simply for doing so. I might say they are terrible person based on the content of the bill they are trying to pass, but that isn't what's going on here: the GOP is being accused of rape, terror, arson, hostage-taking, and more just because they are exercising their explicit constitutional duty.
