Worse still, putting facts in their proper context is wholly alien to their way of thinking.

Let's think of some other nations in which facts don't matter. Iran (or any theocracy), North Korea (or any dictatorship) spring to mind. Neither would strike any thinking person as being nations worthy of imitation. Yet this is where Republicans want to take us -to a place where what they believe outweighs facts, logic, and human dignity.
