Vast swathes? If Lyle shouldn't talk about global warming you damn sure shouldn't opine about what the American people are like. Your ignorance and bigotry about what Americans are like is only surpassed by your willingness to express that ignorance.
Typical polls suggest between 40-50% of the populace. I would suggest perhaps that you are the one who lives in ignorance of your own country as there are plenty of articles mostly suggesting that your country is home to tens of millions of science denying, fundamentalist, oddballs. Now at the same time, half the nation appears to be more rational on the issue. Vast swathes was obviously flippant, but appears to be somewhat true.
