The Washington Post should know better than to call the foundation of biology and the strongest basic fact of science a belief, but still it was a good news article except for this:
Recent Gallup polling showed that 41 percent of Republicans believe the effects of global warming have begun, while 44 percent believed either strictly in evolution (8 percent) or that evolution has been guided by God (36 percent). That’s not bad, but they are clearly in the minority.
That's not bad? WTF? Only eight percent of Republicans accept the most important fact of science without sticking supernatural magic into it and that's not bad?
92% of the members of a political party being uneducated morons is worse than disgraceful, worse than the 84% of the American population who are idiots.
My 84% comes from another poll which says only 16% of Americans accept modern biology without magic. Idiot America is called Idiot America because Americans are idiots.
An election between Obama and Huntsman would be a real choice. A choice between two intelligent politicians who are not batshit crazy. It will never happen. A recent poll shows Huntsman is the favorite candidate of only one percent of Republican voters. However Huntsman is expected to win 15% of the votes in the New Hampshire primary, but that's only because New Hampshire is one of the very small number of states which is not infested with brainless hicks.
8% of Republicans accept science.
36% of Republicans accept science only if magic is one of the mechanisms.
56% of Republicans want to throw out more than a century of scientific progress because science makes the dead Jeebus cry.
This disgraceful bullshit is made possible by the wimpy atheists who suck up to Christian assholes. What this country needs is a war against religious stupidity. Relentless ridicule of Christian scum combined with competent teaching of evolutionary biology starting at age six is the only possible solution to Idiot America's problem.
