intolerance.' 'Superstitious claims are credible and appropriate in reasoned debate among adults, and anyone who disagrees is prejudiced.' 'Third-tier, fourth-tier, or unranked backwater religious schools are entitled to just as much respect as are strong liberal-libertarian mainstream universities.' 'We're not bigots; we just prefer traditional values and the good old days.'

These right-wing whines do not diminish to any degree these points:

Education is better than ignorance.

Progress is better than backwardness.

Science is better than dogma.

Reason is better than superstition (especially if you are older than 12 or so, after which childhood indoctrination fades as an excuse).

Tolerance is better than bigotry.

Modernity is better than pining for (illusory) good old days.

Inclusivity is better than insularity.

Successful, attractive, growing communities are better than declining, can't-keep-up rural communities.

The Republican-conservative electoral coalition relies on backwardness and bigotry to seek to impose medieval social policies and predatory economics.

When Republicans and movement conservatives stop relying on voter suppression, disdain of science, xenophobia, gay-bashing, and similar points to rally that electoral coalition, decent Americans -- liberals, moderates, libertarians, RINOs, and others -- will stop referring to right-wingers as backward and bigoted. 

Until then, carry on, clingers.
