If you listen to conservative Republicans there is a theme which I just can’t seem to connect with.
Evolution is a lie, Global Warming and Climate Change is a lie, and embryonic stem cell research accomplishing anything is a lie.
Those who spend their lives with masters and doctorate degrees, who do the scientific research, who gather the facts, and write the scientific papers and books are all a bunch of stupid liars. While on the other hand, Radio Talk Show Hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity who all flunked out of college in their first year, Evangelical Preachers like Pat Robertson, and conservative politicians like Tom DeLay, Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin have all the scientific answers to everything.
What drives such twaddle? How could any sane person find these people credible in anything at all? Is it really as simple as very stupid people hate smart people? Which is the political basis of how the GOP rose to power? Smart people are stupid and stupid people are smart? We are the morons? Gee…
