Paul Krugman: Ignorance Is Streangth
. . . So why are [Reactionaries] so eager to trash higher education?
It’s not hard to see what’s driving Mr. Santorum’s wing of the party. His specific claim that college attendance undermines faith is, it turns out, false. But he’s right to feel that our higher education system isn’t friendly ground for current [reactionary] ideology. And it’s not just liberal-arts professors: among scientists, self-identified Democrats outnumber self-identified Republicans nine to one.
I guess Mr. Santorum would see this as evidence of a liberal conspiracy. Others might suggest that scientists find it hard to support a party in which denial of climate change has become a political litmus test, and denial of the theory of evolution is well on its way to similar status.
It’s Not Muslims Who Are Trying To Impose Their Religion On Everyone: It’s The [International Child Raping Organization That Is] The Catholic Church
. . . [R]eligious [reactionaries] in the United States are trying to impose their values and doctrine on the rest of us. No, they won’t try to achieve such objective by telling us that abortion, marriage equality and contraceptives are sinful and against the will of God; that sanctimonious strategy would backfire on them. They are doing it in a much more sinister and deceptive way: They are suggesting that by not legislating and implementing their beliefs the rest of us are guilty of denying them ‘religious [privilege].’ After all, the best defense is a good offense and the best offense is to claim to be “the victim.”

2) This is not a story; it is a most astounding fact.

Extreme Poverty In The U.S. Has Doubled In The Last 15 Years
According to the latest Census Bureau data, nearly 50 percent of Americans are either low-income or living in poverty in the wake of the Great Recession. . .
The number of U.S. households living on less than $2 per person per day — which the study terms “extreme poverty” — more than doubled between 1996 and 2011, from 636,000 to 1.46 million, the study finds. The number of children in extremely poor households also doubled, from 1.4 million to 2.8 million.
