Mooney the spinner
Posted on April 25, 2012 - Filed Under Agenda based science, Conservatism, News, Psychology, Research/surveys, Science/pseudo-science, liberalism | Comments Off
Chris Mooney is a journalist who has popularized some hoary old Leftist theories about the psychology of politics. I was researching and writing about those theories when they were still “hot” so I know a bit about them. My most relevant academic journal articles on the subject are listed here. Needless [...]

This “philosopher” (below) is a chump who seems to know nothing of prior work in his field. He has attempted to reinvent the wheel and predictably come up with a very poor product. As someone who has written for the academic journals on both the philosophy and psychology of morality, perhaps I [...]

Considering that the Queensland Labor Party was wiped out to the point that they aren’t even recognized as an actual political party in the last election due their globull warming legislation, one would think that someone would say “this is a bad idea.” However, as we’ve seen again and again, “climate change” is not about [...]

Not unlike his misinformation about the Supreme Court’s Constitutional authority to strike down law, Obama again got it wrong by pulling out the unfair distribution of wealth card when he slammed Congressman Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) budget as “Social Darwinism.” Obama dragged out the age-old debate whether the capitalistic route to wealth [...]

Much was made of Governor Sarah Palin’s use of the term “government death panels” to lambaste Obamacare. Left-wingers and Democrats everywhere scoffed at the term and accused Palin of demagogy and even lying. But the fact is, government death panels of all sorts are inevitable once government takes over healthcare. In fact, [...]
The Genetics of Politics
Posted on April 13, 2012 - Filed Under Conservatism, Conservatives, News, Psychology, Research/surveys, Science/pseudo-science, liberalism | Comments Off
After my broad-ranging comments on the psychology of politics yesterday, I thought I might focus in a little more on the major factor behind one’s political stance: genetics. I saw the ground-breaking 1986 article by Martin & Jardine on the heritability of politics as soon as it came out (I had [...]

An article by Eidelman et al. claims that they are and it has predictably got a fair bit of attention from Left-leaning journalists.
I noted the article at the beginning of this month and dismissed it out of hand on the grounds that its taxonomy was wrong: Eidelman had no idea of what conservatives actually [...]

I apologize for this being an unduly long article but it is a big topic
Psychologists have been trying to explain why people have the political opinions they do since the 1930s at least, and that industry is still going strong.
Because psychologists are mainly Left-leaning, however, most of the explanations have been ludicrous. The [...]

I reproduce below some excerpts from a long article about the psychological theories of Chris Mooney. It is headed: “The Science of Fox News: Why Its Viewers are the Most Misinformed”. I first reproduce Mooney’s “proof” that conservatives are wrong to be skeptical about global warming and then excerpt his explanation [...]

Time and time again, Climate Realists like myself have pointed out that the whole “climate change (hoax)” movement is not about actually dealing with the “carbon poison” and saving the Earth from rising temperatures (which are well within the norm for warm periods over the last 7,000 years): it’s about control and…..money!

More sloppiness (polite term) found in the latest pride of “Nature” magazine

“Nature” magazine (2012, 484, 49–54) recently announced with great fanfare that if you ignored those pesky ice-core records from Antarctica, then the last deglaciation was PRECEDED by a CO2 rise — which is necessary if you are to claim that CO2 CAUSED the warming. The paper by Shakun et al. is headed [...]

Marx pointed out that communism could easily be presented as Christian and the mainstream churches are mostly Left-leaning. Even Papal encyclicals make some concessions to socialist thinking. See both “De rerum novarum” and “Centesimus annus”.
In that context a recent report from Britain is not inherently surprising. The Guardian summarizes:

Bummer: Hotcoldwetdry Could Give You Rabies

All because you decided to use your ice maker and dish washer
(Grist) If rabid environmental activists don’t get their way, the rest of us might end up rabid too. This year’s drought is leading to a huge jump in rabies rates in stricken states, and climate change will only make it worse.

Bummer: GOP “Emasculating” Obama Renewable Energy Efforts

In other words, Joe is upset that the GOP refuses to appropriate funds that can be used to scratch the backs of rich Obama campaign donors
(Washington Times) More investment in “green” technology is shaping up to be a cornerstone of President Obama’s re-election effort, and the administration’s No. 2 man on Sunday accused Republicans of [...]
