I agree - it is really frighting that this ignorance - and outright stupidity is going on - and is even infesting the halls of the government - ignorant leaders make for some really bad decisions in the end.... But I guess for the conservative movements - specially the right wings it is a shield of honor to be ignorant - and then to spew all type of ignorant stuff out in the open - and be proud of it too - even if they got to some of the best schools in the country, and should know far better...
At one time - even the conservatives loved education - and loved the thrill of getting to know how the world existed - and how they could make it better (in their view, but even then...) for most people.. Back in the days you even had conservative leader who would fight fascism and nazism when they saw it - today they ARE the fascists and Nazisms - and proud of it...
