Republicans Consider Welcoming People Who Believe in Math and Science

“Just because we don’t believe in those things doesn’t mean we can’t get along with people who do,” he said. “We want to send this message: math and science Americans are Americans, too.”

I think we'll have a permanent "underclass" of republicans who cannot accept the whole idea of Obama. We'll have to wait for their tribe to die out...

And, umm. What is a "math and science lifestyle"? Betting Neil DeGrasse Tyson would have something hilarious to say in response to this....
