For all the fact that this is funny, I can’t help but feel that it is more truth than fiction. I know people who accept and make arguments just like those made by Rush in this comic. It scares me that there are human beings in industrialised, progressive nations with access to some of the best education systems the Earth has ever seen (to our knowledge) that still cannot understand the simplest of arguments.
That there are people like Rush and his fellow neocons (or whatever they call themselves) is, in my opinion, just as much evidence of humanities origins as the fossil records and emerging genomic data.
