One who actually knows the issues at a tea party protest, rather than just calling Obama a socialist, a fascist, or a Nazi.

Many argue that such a person does not exist, thus it is widely accepted as an oxymoron.

Also see teabagger.
Rational Teabagger: I disagree with Obama because of his economy policy and his policy on the war in Afghanistan.

Liberal Dude: Thanks for not calling him a Nazi!

Combat Rations

Otherwise known as MRE

Meal Ready to Eat
Meal Rejected by Everyone
Meal Rejected by Ethiopeans

Otherwise known as "C-Rations". MRE's are basically pre-ready food for use on the battlefield. High in calories, they are capable of lasting for weeks as well. MRE's usually consist of canned food, such as beans. MRE's are often rationed to be a whole day's meal, complete with a desert (which is usually a chocolate bar). MRE's also have drinks that only require warm water to become ready to drink.

MRE's may not be home-cookin', but it'll do ya good.
"MRE's are DEFINATELY rejectable by ethiopeans!"

Reverse Rationalism is a stance which is practically incomprehensible that seeks to be the opposite of what classical rationalism is about, it coniders atheism, anti-theism, laicism, state atheism, scientism, materialism, physicalism, positivism/empirism and naturalism as being irrational while it considers theism, anti-atheism, anti-anti-theism, discidism, state spiritualism, state religion, theocracy, anti-scientism / extrascientism, anti-materialism / extramaterialism, extraphysicalism, post-positivism / post-empirism, spiritualism, spirituality, religion, esoterism, occultism and supernaturalism as being rational, it basically believes that everything considered as irrational by reverse rationalism should be countered while everything considered as rational by reverse rationalism should be promoted and even encouraged.
"Reverse Rationalism makes sense, somehow, if we consider what people like the ones on RationalWiki and on Quora actually do, and how several spiritual, esoteric and occultist groups have a lot of good explanations about reality and existence as well."

Rational Fundamentalism is a form of secular fundamentalism that's full based on rationalism, it seeks on the use of the philosophy of rationalism and positivism in order to justify secular fundamentalism and atheist fundamentalism as well, often calling religious, spiritual, extraphysical, supernatural and immaterial beliefs as "irrational" and fighting them anywhere and all the time. A good example of rational fundamentalism is rational imperialism, that takes rational fundamentalism into a way that all kinds of religious, spiritual, extraphysical, supernatural and immaterial beliefs, also including feelings and empathy, must be countered and everyone must follow rationalism, scientism, positivism and physicalism as its main beliefs.
"Rational Fundamentalism and Rational Imperialism are really common nowadays, they only show about how can rationalism, new atheism, anti-theism, materialism, physicalism, scientism and positivism so violent and aggressive nowadays, and how they all are no different from religious fundamentalism and of those who they call as "irrational"."

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when you see your friends or family members who don’t live under your roof either one-on-one or in groups whether it be standing 6 feet apart from each other and not moving from that spot, meeting in cars in the parking lot, walking or riding bikes together on opposite sides of the street, or holding exercise classes in the street. These people are practicing creative distancing, but it is slightly different because people who practice rationalized distancing think it’s okay because they list the precautions they had taken and will argue with those who don’t agree with them—it was only five minutes, they sat 6 feet apart, we monitored their behavior, it was just a playdate, the only other place we go is the grocery store, I’m healthy, we’re all healthy. However, according to MIT research “mucus and saliva can burst from a person’s mouth at nearly a hundred miles an hour and travel as far as 27 feet.” This method of distancing is flawed, selfish, and breaks all social distancing rules.
Joe met up with his two brothers at his house and practiced rationalized distancing by saying it was okay because they only met for 10 minutes. Now, all three brothers and their entire families have Coronavirus.
