“Anti-Palin Conservatives don’t understand it. They think Conservativism is about having different theories than the Left, they don’t understand that it’s that theories and rational knowledge isn’t so important.”
In the bizarro world of the Tea-Party and Palinism, it may be that “rational knowledge isn’t so important”, but in the real world, opinions must always come second-place to fact. It doesn’t matter whether one believes whether or not gravity exists, but the result of believing one can fly and stepping off the top of a tall building will be determined by physics, including gravity, whether or not you believe gravity exists.
Ignorance of science doesn’t make that science go-away. The science is a fact irrespective of what it says and science is often inconvenient. Science has no opinions, it just ‘is’.
