Oh baby, those immigrants are HOT

What make believers out of those suffering from willful ignorance?  Why, a chance to be even stupider than normal, what else.  I suppose the good news is that right-wingers are finally coming around to accepting what scientists have been warning about for years. Tom Tancredo, who we we last heard of when he remodeled his “Big(Carbon)foot-print house in Colorado,  piped up that even he has “no doubt that global warming exists.”

Tancredo was referring to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies which somehow took the undisputed fact that people in the United States use more natural resources than people in other countries, and that immigrants to the United States pretty much live like everybody else in the U.S. to conclude that immigration caused global warming.

Latin American and European schools normally include logic in the curriculum, but not U.S. schools. I went to high school in New York State, but fortunately, our local college offered some limited courses to local high school students — including logic.  Even if people in the United States can’t recognize an ad hoc propter ergo hoc fallacy when they see one, I’d hope they’re smart enough to know when they’re being fed bullshit.
