The far right who reject science, as well as most of the left are of a piece as far as I am concerned.
Reply
The far right fails when they a priori reject the application of the scientific process and scientific knowledge particularly where discovery might "threaten" their "foundations" of religious belief.
The left fails because of their quasi-religious belief that everything encompassing the economic, social and political nature of human individuals and societies is sufficiently known that they can achieve a greater good for all by "scientifically" exercising greater control of the economic, social and political activities of individuals and societies.-

As long as you advocate the government not making choices for the citizenry in all things, you are fine. When you start selecting government intrusion in to the lives of the citizenry, then you are in trouble.

Usually for most of the crew you hang with, this is a significant problem.-

Agreed. As was understood by the founding fathers... who saw goverment to be necessary... however, the less of it there is, the better.
I find the rejection of science by the fundamentalist right to be of far lesser concern for the long-term health and well-being of the body politic than the quasi-religious belief of the left that more government is the answer to every human and social ill. The right is nowhere near succeeding in killing off science. However, the left is succeeding in massively growing the government's intrusion into our lives.-

The right promotes its fair share also. The trouble is that each want the government *their* way. They would do well to think about what less government means, because neither understand that. -

Personally, I am very much conflicted about protection of the unborn. I am certainly glad that protections were in place when it was my turn. Of course, if I hadn't seen the light of day, I wouldn't have known the difference, right? But, just think about what you all would have missed.

I think that, upon close inspection, you will find exceedingly few on the right who care about at all about what you or anyone else does in their bedroom.
