Try arguing with this logic. It’s a great analogy.

Yes, You Can Be Both Rich and Ignorant
On February - 16 - 2010

I knew there was a reason I disliked Donald Trump.
“With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore,” the tycoon told members of his Trump National Golf Club in Westchester in a recent speech. “Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn’t care less. It would make us totally noncompetitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America’s stupidity.”
Of course the buffoon is showing his ignorance on global warming but when you have a billion bucks in the bank, buffoonery is acceptable business. (hey, 7 words beginning with the letter ‘b’ in that last sentence. Beats my previous record of 5. You know you’re going to have go back and verify, don’t you?)

Ratigan vs. Beck = Logic vs. Stupidity
On February - 12 - 2010
This battle between Dylan Ratigan and Glenn Beck over climate change is a no-contest affair.

Beck comes off as a dimwitted fool showing absolutely no knowledge of science nor any willingness to understand. Of course this suits his audience of twits perfectly. Understanding takes effort. Stupidity takes absolutely none. It is much easier to approach science (and life, for that matter) from the perspective that what can be explained to you in twelve words or less is right and what cannot is wrong. Why take the time and effort to learn when you can have a Glenn Beck explain climate change science to you as easily as drawing a thermometer on a chalkboard. After all, is there anything more convincing than Beck rolling his eyes and giving you that, ‘come on people, this is so basic it has to be right’ look he has mastered?
Bill Nye makes an excellent point when he says that many (if not most) climate change deniers believe what they do not because of any true understanding of the underlying science but because the people who are concerned about global warming are left of center. In a wingnut’s minuscule brain, if Al Gore, Barack Obama and most liberals believe that global warming is endangering the planet, then it must be wrong.
I’m running out of adjectives to describe the sheer idiocy of these people so let me just say it in words I know they’ll understand. Hey, deniers…you are all so f***ing stupid, it’s frightening.
