This article is worth reading , not so much because the author criticizes the worldview of the GOP, but because he describes, with great clarity, how our worldviews are constructed and preserved - and how inaccurate they can be when they are the product of confined experience.
I once hoped that the internet would prove an antidote to this process of epistemic closure, but I'm no longer as optimistic about this.

Happy birthday!
I think there's reason to remain hopeful in the long-run that digital revolution(s) will help us keep our epistemic processes default to "open." There will be growing pains; there will be huge swaths of people sucked into a virtual whirlpool of ignorance (a contemporary example being the party discussed in the article). But just as the writer could not hold the illusion together, digital natives will come of age and start to articulate how, as you very nicely stated, "how our worldviews are constructed and preserved - and how inaccurate they can be when they are the product of confined experience." Digital natives breathe these ideas right now without necessarily having the tools to articulate them coherently. But eventually, they will find sweeping political expression. Maybe not in a party (but maybe in ever increasing numbers of people walking away from the GOP, for starters, then widespread rejection of that party's legitimacy such that they can never hold the country hostage to ignorance and arrogance). Things like Occupy were first starts. The impetus behind that movement hasn't gone away, even though the demonstrations have.
Be hopeful Joe.
"HELP!! My history is I want to molest children who are too young to speak.
Just like I did my brothers.
Now my brother likes lesbians and I want transsexuals."
How many times did military pilot suck that little boy's dick? How many times did that pedophile suck that child's penis?? Confused how prostitution works, he let the boy drive his car if the boy let him copulate him. He graduated and left the neighborhood before the boy "came of age" so a homosexual pedophile he remains for life. He turned all his brothers into "givers", and one went on to a period of exhibited homosexuality. This mentally ill career military wants his son to have the car in which he first sucked prepubescent penis.
Is there a connection with the transsexual clue with his "wife"?? Is it connected or is this a separate dysfunction?
Was he ever tested? He had a period of sexual promiscuity after enlistment in an attempt to prove he was a man, desperate to erase his history. Was he tested with a transsexual to see if he would take the bait?? He did:::His wife!!!
Marilyn Manson is a clue about his wife's legacy.
You can only imagine what the military's scathing evaluation of his dysfunctional personality had to say, not to mention what his fellow pilots thought. He had no business being there.
The greeks don't want no freaks. Should have killed himself like he was invited to in his movie.
The pedophile wants to reach up her dress and fondle her penis.
Just because he is husband material doesn't mean he isn't a tranny. "Pre- or post-op?" "Oh, pre. Definitely pre." Volcanic. Hit the ceiling.
