In today’s Republican Party, ignorance is not cause for criticism; in fact, ignorance is celebrated and glorified, and the candidates who spout the most ignorant nonsense are rewarded. This ignorance is most noticeable in their attitudes toward scientific issues such as climate change and evolution, but it also extends to foreign policy, as Herman Cain demonstrates in this interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network.

The GOP: pathetically ignorant and proud of it.
