Ooooh - “anti-science bad craziness?” Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the very deep thoughts of Charles Johnson.

The results of a recent Gallup Poll reinforce the idea that the Republican Party is rapidly becoming the anti-science party by virtue of becoming the God Party.From NewsMax comes this AP summary of the poll:

Poll: 68% of GOP Voters Reject Evolution Theory... A Gallup poll released Monday said that while the country is about evenly split over whether the theory of evolution is true, Republicans disbelieve it by more than 2-to-1.
Republicans saying they don't believe in evolution outnumbered those who do by 68 percent to 30 percent in the survey. Democrats believe in evolution by 57 percent to 40 percent, as do independents by a 61 percent to 37 percent margin.
The poll also said that those who go to church often are far likelier to reject evolution than those who do not. Republicans are likelier than Democrats or independents to attend church services, according to Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll.
At the GOP's first presidential debate last month, the 10 candidates were asked which of them did not believe in evolution. Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo raised their hands.
The Gallup survey, conducted May 21 to 24, involved telephone interviews with 1,007 adults. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Over two-thirds of Republicans reject the theory of evolution. 68% Jesus. That's insane. Now granted 40% of Dems do too. But over two-thirds of Republicans do.
How in the world any thinking person could identity in any regard with the GOP is baffling.
Likewise, here is a ling to another poll wherein only 23% of Repubs agree that global warming is caused by human activity.

23%? WTF?
You can make fun of Johnson's poor grammar and short-handed approach, but it speaks volumes that you don't address the substance. Simply put, the right-wing is anti-science and being anti-science these days is how first world nations obtain third world status. What the hell is it with the right wing that they don't believe in science? Why?
