Conservative Trilemma



http://www.salon.com/2014/05/09/fox_news_devolves_from_climate_denial_to_rejecting_all_science/

A person can be any two, but not all three, of:
  Honest;
  Intelligent;
  Conservative.

As usual the trilemma yields a trio of deductive rules; from any two deduce the negation of the third. Honest and intelligent implies not conservative; intelligent and conservative implies not honest; conservative and honest implies not intelligent.
