Some leftybloggers famously dubbed themselves the “reality-based community” – a clumsy, junior-high shot at neo-conservative “faith based” ideal.
Apparently the lefties got the idea at a seance from Egyptian political philosopher and lobbyist Ram-Gar:
“Conservatives and Republicans report fewer experiences than liberals or Democrats communicating with the dead, seeing ghosts and consulting fortunetellers or psychics,” the Pew study says. For example, 21 percent of Republicans report that they have been in touch with someone who is dead, while 36 percent of Democrats say they have done so. Eleven percent of Republicans say they have seen a ghost, while 21 percent of Democrats say so.
And remembering how the nation’s lesser party roasted Nancy Reagan, I thought this next bit was a hoot:
And nine percent of Republicans say they have consulted a fortuneteller, while 22 percent of Democrats have.
It’s explain a lot about Represenative McCollum.
But I think there’s some omission bias at play here:
Fifteen percent of Republicans say they view yoga as a spiritual practice, while 31 percent of Democrats do.
No question about whether a day at the range is a spiritual experience?
