THIS JUST ABOUT SUMS IT UP...

I was reading the comments on Dick Armey's first post on Swampland and came across this reference by poster JJ:

There was a recent blog entry in Crooked Timber which stated (linking to an Australian blog) that "there is now no academic discipline whose conclusions can be considered acceptable to orthodox Republicans" (and said some other things as well):

Here's the full quote by jquiggen (John Quiggen):

In fact, it’s striking that there is now almost no academic discipline whose conclusions can be considered acceptable to orthodox Republicans. The other social sciences (sociology, anthropology, political science) are even more suspect than economics. The natural sciences are all implicated in support for evolution against creationism, and for their conclusions about global warming, CFCs and other environmental threats. Even the physicists have mostly been sceptical about Star Wars and its offspring. And of course the humanities are beyond the pale.
