I'm not the first to say this, but this is the same flat-earthism we see from the right on evolution, anthropogenic climate change, and the innateness of homosexuality: right-wingers don't even accept the most obvious premises as givens.

We are dealing with people who are impervious to reason. George W. Bush really may not have been the least reality-based of the lot.
