This is the life of one who cannot think critically.
I don't see it this way, as I really do believe he thinks critically. It is more a matter of Garbage in, Garbage out. I know Dope also thinks most progressives fail to think critically and it is for the same reason. With different inputs, critical thinking will generate different outputs.

All contradictory evidence is ruled as either insignificant or faulty. Keep in mind that most progressives do the same thing in rejecting information the supports the conservatives viewpoint.
