I’ve spent a lot of time overseas but really don’t have any insight on an important question: Are there other Western democracies whose people hate science and intellectuals as much as Americans do?

This quote by Chris Matthews this morning on climate change pretty much sums up the prideful ignorance our country seems to love:

“Is the drive to save the planet hurt because it’s the baby of the intellectuals?”

Jeebus save us if this trend continues for much longer.

P.S. I again highly recommend you check out the book Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free
