I find the name of the source ironic:

Christian Science Monitor

Three-for-one moonbat pun:

1. The article implies Republicans (in thrall to the Religious Right) is against Science, so there is a surface pun about "Christian Science".

2. There is a second pun about "Christian Science Monitor"--are they Christians who are monitoring Science, or are the publishers monitoring Christian pseudoscience? (*)

3. To top it all off, "Christian Science" is neither doctrinally Christian, nor scientific.

Ahhh, the power of words.

Cheers!

(*) E.g. Christian 'pseudoscience' might by YEC and Leftist 'pseudoscience' might be Kyoto treaty.
