Bill Maher notes that the GOP is made up of ‘magic thinkers’ who confuse superstition with science.
“It is not a coincidence that the party of fundamentalism is also the party of fantasy. When I say that religion is a mental illness this is what I mean; if you believe in angels, demons and Jesus hugging a dinosaur, it’s not that big of a leap to believe in tiny ninja warriors that women have in their bodies lie in wait for bad people’s sperm. Republicans would like to say that Congressman Akin’s substitution of superstition for science is a lone problem, but it’s not. They are all magical thinkers on every issue. …
“The grown-up answer to our massive national problems is ‘Identify them scientifically and prioritize.’ The Republican answer is ‘There isn’t a problem, and anyone who tells you different is a liar who hates America. We don’t have to make hard choices. We just have to ignore science and math. That’s why God gave us values.’
