Day one: My journey back into Free Republic.

Today I see them scurrying out of their rat holes like little hater vermin and discussing the BLAZEing Beast know as Hillary Clinton.

Apparently they are having an orgasm over some notion that Hillary will not survive the rigorous campaign ---possibly due to food poison from bad sour cream in a burrito Bowl--- and that she will be replaced by a liberal so liberal that suddenly everyone will be wearing Birkenstock's, Hemp boxers and panties.

I'll report back tomorrow after further investigation.

There is a youtube video by that name the proof of the truth! There is also how it's a Nazi plan!

And that the ACA never helped one single person, and is in fact a plot by the evil, OBAMA to kill us all! Just wait for it!

Go forth bravely, Sir Knight and be sure to use brain bleach afterward!

It's fun to throw a bomb once in a while. It takes patience that not many people have, and most trolls get outed. You have to build up a background of reasonable-sounding (to them) posts to hide the shiny hook inside that tasty bait. But it's worth it when you can make a seemingly innocent comment that stirs up a massive flame war between the factions of lunatics over there.

And for any FR lurkers, . You know me, but you'll never guess who I am.

There was no journey to Freeperville; it's an analogy.

Trumad's comparing those here who refuse to bow down and accept The Inevitable One to Freepers.

It's a fantastic strategy: Criticize those who dislike a shitty candidate, and then blame them when the shitty candidate loses.

Much as Messiah in regards to Obama, the right has branded Clinton as Inevitable, and a lot of half-wits and dullards jump on the same train all the way to Crazy-Town.

No doubt though, you use it not for the right's petulant and childlike need to call names, but for some righteous, clever and rational purpose...

90. How do you propose I do that, trumad?
Sat Apr 18, 2015, 07:03 PM
Apr 2015

Here's a primer:

So soon as we have realized the possibility of ideological bias, it is not difficult to locate it. All we have to do for this purpose is to scrutinize scientific procedure. It starts from the perception of a set of related phenomena which we wish to analyze and ends up-for the time being-with a scientific model in which these phenomena are conceptualized and the relations between them explicitly formulated, either as assumptions or as propositions (theorems). This primitive way of putting it may not satisfy the logician but it is all we need for our hunt for ideological bias. Two things should be observed.

First, that perception of a set of related phenomena is a prescientific act. It must be performed in order to give to our minds something to do scientific work on-to indicate an object of research -but it is not scientific in itself. But though prescientific, it is not preanalytic. It does not simply consist in perceiving facts by one or more of our senses. These facts must be recognized as having some meaning or relevance that justifies our interest in them and they must be recognized as related-so that we might separate them from others -which involves some analytic work by our fancy or common sense. This mixture of perceptions and prescientific analysis we shall call the research worker's Vision or Intuition. In practice, of course, we hardly ever start from scratch so that the prescientific act of vision is not entirely our own. We start from the work of our predecessors or contemporaries or else from the ideas that float around us in the public mind. In this case our vision will also contain at least some of the results of previous scientific analysis. However, this compound is still given to us and exists before we start scientific work ourselves.

~snip~

Now, so soon as we have performed the miracle of knowing what we cannot know, namely the existence of the ideological bias in ourselves and others, we can trace it to a simple source. This source is in the initial vision of the phenomena we propose to subject to scientific treatment. For this treatment itself is under objective control in the sense that it is always possible to establish whether a given statement, in reference to a given state of knowledge, is provable, refutable, or neither. Of course this does not exclude honest error or dishonest faking. It does not exclude delusions of a wide variety of types. But it does permit the exclusion of that particular kind of delusion which we call ideology because the test involved is indifferent to any ideology. The original vision, on the other hand, is under no such control. There, the elements that will meet the tests of analysis are, by definition, undistinguishable from those that will not or -as we may also put it since we admit that ideologies may contain provable truth up to 100 percent- the original vision is ideology by nature and may contain any amount of delusions traceable to a man's social location, to the manner in which he wants to see himself or his class or group and the opponents of his own class or group. This should be extended even to peculiarities of his outlook that are related to his personal tastes and conditions and have no group connotation-there is even an ideology of the mathematical mind as well as an ideology of the mind that is allergic to mathematics.
