The tendency for conservatives to think largely in terms of black and white for every single issue on the planet. Mostly a result of an absolutist religious upbringing, I believe.
An example,
Bob, a 43 year old loving father of two, with a spotless criminal record, assaults a sixteen year old girl. Everyone is shocked and puzzled. When caught, he has a nervous breakdown and is put in a mental institution. There, he undergoes various tests and scans. Doctors discover a giant tumor in the part of the brain responsible for sexual activities.
They remove it via surgery, and he's back to normal again. There's no doubt about it - from similar cases we can see that tumors in that part of the brain drive normal men crazy. What to do?

Liberal: After having considered all the evidence, I don't see any point in incarcerating him. He's not a threat. I fucking hate worthless child molesters but he clearly can't be held responsible for this. Probation should do, just in case I'm wrong. (though i doubt it)
Moderate: The science involved certainly seems to indicate that he's not responsible for this disgusting deed. Given his prior record, he doesn't seem like a threat. Still, I'm not totally convinced. A year in prison maybe? More testing, in any case.
Conservative: Why the fuck are we even talking about this? Tumors don't do anything anyway, that's just a THEORY! Has everyone lost their fucking mind, he attacked a helpless child! Stone him to death! Oh wait, I forgot that we don't live in Afghanistan or Iran. Well in that case, give 'im the lethal injection. Shit, that's not allowed for non-murderers? SHIT! I swear, liberals are bleeding this fucking country dry! DEATH TO LIBERALS!!! *waves rebel flag*
Conservative Black and White Thinking Disorder is a major problem in the US, sadly. Mostly as a result of religious faith.
For another example, see black and white thinkers.

Can be one of two things.
Either:
1) A stupid wannabe rapper like 50 cent or Ja rule
2) A really foolish and crazy religious dude from the RaptureReady.com website. And since most of the people on that site are already kind of nutty, a true Raptard will stand out and shine, believe me.

Raptards like 50 cent suck ass and should eat dirt. At least the second kind of raptard is somewhat interesting.

Similar to neuroscience. The field of study where you learn how we're all just bags of chemicals walking around.
Neurobiology is different from neuroscience in that it's a subfield though, it's focused more on the activity of the neurons and glial cells.

The neoconservative version of the race card. What neocons pull when trying to get you to support an unpopular war or the like.
Bob: So what if there weren't any WMD's? If you don't support the war effort, you're anti-american!
Joe: Way to pull the anti-american card bro...
