I'm willing to give credit where credit is due, and even conservatives have important parts of an overall working mechanism. The problem is people who engage in willful ignorance, even when presented with ample facts and evidence to refute their claims. Just because someone is in [insert party with which I disagree here] doesn't mean they're stupid, they and their claims might be more suspect than if they were of a more agreeable political persuasion, but you can't fight human nature THAT much.
