      <title>The GOP ticket&#39;s appalling contempt for science and learning. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate Magazine</title>
      <link>http://www.slate.com/id/2203120</link>
      <description>&#34;This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated and the cultured. And those who prate of spiritual warfare and demons are not just &#34;people of faith&#34; but theocratic bullies. On Nov. 4, anyone who cares for the Constitution has a clear duty to repudiate this wickedness and stupidity.&#34;&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tags:&lt;/strong&gt; #biology #creationism #education #election #elitism #evolution #fruitflies #gop #learning #mccain #palin #politics #religion #republicans #science&lt;/p&gt;</description>
