Qusan points to a pretty amazing admission made by the anti-intellectual forces in Dover, PA., the guys trying to eliminate the teaching of evolution in schools.

"Christians are a lot more bold under Bush's leadership, he speaks what a lot of us believe," said Mummert.

"We've been attacked by the intelligent, educated segment of the culture," he said, adding that the school board's declaration is just a first step.

"We" are not in the intelligent, educated segment of the culture. "We," in fact, feel singularly threatened by the intelligent, educated segment of the culture and the constant flow of new things it forces "us" to react to.

I think they're expressing feelings of inferiority.

And their response isn't to rise to the occasion but to limit those who they feel inferior to.

Lovely, isn't it?

The really scary thing is that in Pennsylvania folks who think this way are legion. There are days when I tend to think that they hold a majority of the seats in the state legislature and I'm not only referring to Republicans who actually do hold a majority of the seats in the state House and Senate.

It's not just Pennsylvania. If it were just Pennsylvania I wouldn't even have a blog.
