motivated reasoning

Working backwards in logic, disregarding the facts in order to support an erroneous conclusion. Motivated reasoning is in contrast to logical reasoning.

I know you're telling me the fact that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, but my motivated reasoning tells me he did.

We invaded Iraq because of 9/11. What we did in Iraq was right. Saddam Hussein was involved in plotting 9/11.

Tea-Reason

A play on the word 'treason' that combines 'Tea' (short in this instance for Tea Party Patriot) and 'Reason' (a homonym meaning either: purpose or rationality).

It can be defined as:

A situation in which a citizen of another country is accused of committing an act of treason against the United States of America by a Tea Party Patriot.

Huckabee: Julian Assange should be executed for treason!

Assange: I think you mean Tea-Reason? Perhaps I could interest you in a map, and a dictionary?
