National Review's Kevin Williamson asks: "Why would anybody ask a politician about his views on a scientific question? Nobody ever asks what Sarah Palin thinks about dark matter, or what John Boehner thinks about quantum entanglement. ... In reality, of course, the progressive types who want to know politicians’ views on evolution are not asking a scientific question; they are asking a religious and political question, demanding a profession of faith in a particular materialist-secularist worldview." Oh. Now I get it: Science is really a liberal conspiracy. So stop asking Rick Perry why he thinks evolution is just a "theory out there" or why people are entitled to their own facts. This, alas, is what happens when your politics become your religion.
