Scarborough is contrasting our hellish present with an allegedly wholesome past that never really existed.
One of his points of contrast is “that evolution is taught as fact, while the fact of God is taught as theory.”
When I was in school in the 50s and 60s, evolution was taught as fact (which it is, and was) and creationists were scorned as a handful of wretched leftovers from the Scopes Monkey Trial 40 years earlier. Now, the creation liars sit on school boards all over the country, and one of our two major political party cannot nominate a candidate who dares to oppose them in public.
