Republican Intellectual Blinders

A comment I posted in Krugman's post, Delusions of Reason : Similarly, Republicans often project their flaws onto Democrats: Obama is a Nazi: It is almost insanely obvious who the real fascists are. Oh right, he wants to steal their money... Democratic policies will destroy the economy: A slew of recent data-oriented publications show the opposite, although one claims that it does not matter. Oddly, no publication claimed Republicans are better for the economy or for the stock market. Liberal policies will destroy the country: Studies typically show an inverse correlation between religiosity and inequality with social welfare. Democrats will take away our freedom: The freedom of money is such an import human right, along with freedom for guns and SUV's, but not the freedom from want, to have a one's health, etc.
