I love the word. I just totally disagree with your conclusion regarding who is in cahoots with the political left. I'd love to see an honest exit poll of Bush vs. Kerry voters and what percentage of each believe in evolution. I'm sure that we would find that a much greater percentage of idiotarians believe in evolution. C'mon now. You know that this is true. And please don't call me a liar because I won't actually go out and do the poll.

That's why I said "knowingly or unknowingly." Lenin, I believe, coined the term "useful idiots" to describe those who aided his cause without necessarily knowing it or wanting to do so. We're seeign the result of this in Europe with respect to the Islamofascists... and we're seeing it in the US with respect to the anti-science types. By casting Republicans as the party that refuses to leave the Dark Ages, they aid the cause of the Left.
Evolution happens. The Earth is round. The sun will come up tomorrow. Denial of these basic facts, IMO, marks one as ignorant or a Leftist operative.
