Despite the danger to Alaska’s 47,000 miles of coastline from climate change, the Republican primary race for the Senate seat currently held by Democrat Mark Begich is a race to the bottom of denial.

“Clearly, both of my primary opponents have joined with climate change alarmists to push for top-down federal regulation,” Miller said. “It’s unclear how empowering the federal government to control even more of our economy, on the authority of dubious scientific claims, comports with free-market economics and Constitutional liberty.”

You know what? Like a lot of other issues, belief in science is soon going to be a litmus test for party membership. If you want to run in a Republican primary you will not be able to admit that science has, does or will ever be anything but a tool of the Democrats and Big Gubmint.

America the Stupid. That’s where we’re headed.
