Are they ALL anti-Enlightement?

McCain on the Dark Side (of the evolution divide), too!

....and you know, if some GOP-ers complain when you talk about all Republicans beeing anti-science, anti-reason, anti-Enlightement and points out that it is just the extremists...now you have a single-word response to shut 'em up: "McCain".

Now, I don't think McCain was ever a moderate, but that is his brand, his label. If the most moderate Republican who everyone seems to like and admire in the USA is anti-science, anti-reason and anti-Enlightement, there is no space any more for the argument that this is not a Left/Right issue.

If you are a Republican and you value reason you now have two options: 1) get rid of the fundies who hijacked your party, or 2) get out of there and help us defeat the forces of Darkness. And, you better make that decision today, before it's too late.
