"If they reallly hate fossil fuel, why don't they support nuclear power?"

Because they're not logical. You can love and hate at the same time. You can be happy and sad over the same issue. True, you're looking at two different aspect of an issue when you're happy and then sad and then both. But they don't think that way, that's too much intelelctual precision for leftists to comprehend. So is some baptist minister reading off a list of OTHER kinds of banned marriages that have nothing else to do with one another, and always in the leftist "brain", that means he's comparing the banned forms of marriage to one another, when the truth is, he's merely listed several kinds of banned marriages in preparation to asking, "From this list, you might pick some and I might pick others, why do you get your way and I'm not supposed to have a place at the table?"

That's too subtle for them.

There are wonderful people who are atheists

I wonder how many times Dennis is going to have to say this before people get it through their heads that he believes it and means it, and that his statement that religion makes you better than irreligiosity is not a statement that irreligious people can't be good.

I think it's a case of the Left not being able to think critically. For the most part, leftists can't think critically at all. From every conversation I've had with lefties, I have to conclude that the vast majority of them can't see differences in classes, that there is one distinction that matters (I like it vs. I don't like it) and all other distinctions are irrelevant. Thus, when Pat Buchannan said "Hitler was a decorated war hero" and "behaved with valor" in WWI, that was to the leftists high praise and Buchannan was obviously a follower of Hitler.

Ten years ago I'd have said they were just lying about what he meant because they wanted to smear the guy. Today I really believe they really believe themselves.
