The biggest problem with these conservatives is not that they're frequently wrong about facts, which is of course in itself insulting to the American people, but the fact that they can never own up to it, even when presented with irrefutable evidence. Look at what Sarah Palin said even when confronted by Fox that she got her Paul Revere facts wrong. I would say that's audacious, but the moronic conservative followers let them get away with it, so why own up to your own faults if you don't have to?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
