blinded by science, sighted by faith!

The reDiscovery Institute fosters integration of science education with traditional Judeo-Christian principles of free market, limited government, morality, faith, property, obedience and anti-intellectualism.

Thanks for the pointer go to Malcolm Ray in the Other Place.

Okay, I swear I had no idea that people on my side of the political spectrum, commonly accused of anti-intellectualism, considered that a compliment.

I mean, it's one thing to be opposed to those tenured ivory-tower types who have no incentive to change their mind if/when they encounter criticism to their pronouncements, especially, when, well, let's face it, the loudest of them tend to be snobbish commies.

But, well, I thought it was a joke page. Who the hell favors active anti-intellectualism, and if they do, just what the hell do they think of when someone says "intellectual?" What broke, exactly? Did a bunch of loutish professors give intellectuals a bad name, or am I really in the same party as knuckle-draggers like the above? I like that even profound disagreement can exist within the big-tent party, even if I disagree with a ringleaders on some major principles. But jeez, these guys should form a pea-brain party if that's the way they're going to be.

Well, sorry, I still can't vote for your guy. But my guy should give these people a stern talking-to.

I'm fairly certain that site is not serious. But with the GOP loudly denouncing "elitism" for decades, and the Bush Administration's treatment of scientists and science, "anti-intellectualism" is all but named.

Are you really in the same party as knuckle-draggers? If you haven't noticed yet... well, i don't know there's anything i can do to point them out. Perhaps their suit cuffs are frayed?

Phew. Well, I'll take a look at more than the front page, next time.

Also, to answer your question, we're not the party of knuckle-draggers, but we have a liberal admission policy. Mostly we just check their hands when they're ordering drinks or groping the help.

... or groping the help.

That explains Schwarzenegger. OH ZING!

Also, "liberal admission policy" LOL.
