“Today, the Republican Party has drifted off the rails,” Chomsky, a frequent critic of both parties, said in an interview Monday with The Huffington Post. “It’s become what the respected conservative political analysts Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein call ‘a radical insurgency’ that has pretty much abandoned parliamentary politics.”

Chomsky cited a 2013 article by Mann and Ornstein published in Daedalus, the journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, analyzing the polarization of the parties. The authors write that the GOP has become “ideologically extreme, scornful of facts and compromise, and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.”

Chomsky said the GOP and its presidential candidates are “literally a serious danger to decent human survival” and cited Republicans’ rejection of measures to deal with climate change, which he called a “looming environmental catastrophe.” All of the top Republican presidential candidates are either outright deniers, doubt its seriousness or insist no action should be taken — “dooming our grandchildren,” Chomsky said.

He is unquestionably correct- the world is facing problems that demand our leaders have grasp of science and facts- or at the very least that they listen to those who do… But the GOP has become so extreme that they flatly reject any facts and science that doesn’t support their dogma. We have seen it here- “Global warming is a socialist hoax”, “More guns make us safer”…If they don’t like history, they write their own:

The GOP has degenerated into complete ignorance, and in today’s world ignorance is more dangerous than ever to the human race.
