I couldn't read more than a couple of paragraphs before quitting and if you're smarter than Jethro Bodine, moving beyond the sixth grade, that is, then you'll not be able to get far, either.

This is what has happened to the jibbering-loony right. This is what they suckle desperately -- this "breitbart" monster, now attacking in viciously junior-high-school fashion Neil deGrasse Tyson, of all people. Seriously, go read what your crazy uncle reads. This is how the undead thing that has hijacked American conservatism is waging war on science and every other 'smartypants' caste of knowledge in American life.

At this point, the only conceivable explanation is a fully resurrected Confederacy, our recurring national sickness.

Oh, those of you who will claim this nasty piece of filth is aimed at Tyson as an "exception"? Bull. Thirty years ago, 40% of US scientists called themselves Republican, now it is 4% and plummeting. They are voting with their feet, the smartest, wisest, most logical and by far the most competitive humans our species ever produced.
And not just science! Can you name for me one profession of high knowledge and skill that’s not under attack by Fox & its cohorts? Teachers, medical doctors, journalists, civil servants, law professionals, economists, skilled labor, professors… oh, yes and science. This is not left-versus-right in any way (not since every metric of capitalism health does better under democrats.)
It is the Saudi financed madrassa called Fox News, versus sanity.
