Get theee into another situation pronto, puleeeeze.
Getting into a discussion with the intentionally ignorant is a loosing
battle.

Intent falls short in this situation, otherwise I agree.

Dogged pursuit of ignorance seems more fitting.

Frank Schaeffer, who wrote books the Christian right have on their book
shelves, and videos they use as the basis of their beliefs, refers to
them as "Permanently scared and intentionally ignorant."

I love it that someone responsible for the Christian right refers to
them as intentionally ignorant.

Do you suppose a lot of Frank Schaeffer books have been burned since
he announced this little tidbit? Would that qualify as irony?
