I know a couple Conservatives, whom I HAD respected. They were excellent at arguing against Creationism and conspiracy theories, etc. But then one by one they seem to have hit the wall, as far as reasoning goes.

One just went full-blown Birther, and now believes any damn thing the RW blogosphere tells him, as long it’s against Obama, including that ‘Obama’s a closeted homosexual’ noise.

Another ran aground on AGW, and the same intellect he used to use to pummel Creationists for their intellectual dishonesty was turned to rationalizing denial of AGW using arguments that mirror Creationist and debate tactics he’d previously deplored in Creationists.

The third seems to have gotten overwhelmed by the idea of Obamacare, and decided he was tired of working so hard and having all his money go to people who didn’t want to work.

It’s like in those Zombie movies where the uninfected get picked off one by one.

I’ve seen pretty much everyone on the US center right I used to think was sane turn into a raving far right nutjob. Starting to suspect an alien brain virus.
