You do. 100%. You ceaselessly mock people who represent 1/2 the nations beliefs and values. You mock those people as being all sorts of things where you are then, in turn, mocking those who put them into office to begin with. If you call Jesus a retard and drone on and on and on and on about how stupid he was, you don't think that is offensive to who are Christians? It's no different. You are disrespectful and that's not a shocker here, however, you seem to be blissfully unaware of that fact.

I like to think I'm fairly smart. I know some very basic, very general science as I'm sure most others here do.

Serial killers are usually quite smart. Most computer programmers are quite smart and possess zero social intelligence whatsoever. In fact, show me all the people who think "i personally think i'm quite dumb" and you'll have a pretty hard time doing that.
Irrelevant.
We all think we are awesome. We all think we have a great sense of humor. We all think we are funny. We all think we are more attractive than we are. We all think we are smarter than we are. We all think we are more liked than we are. We all think we are loved more than we are. Thats a simple trick of the mind to delude you enough to get you through the day. These delusions are what keeps you from putting a gun in your mouth and instead leaves you focused on spreading your DNA.

So when people like Michelle Bachman say things like "Carbon Dioxide is not dangerous", I face-palm myself a few times wondering how anyone like her could even get elected to very important positions with such basic facts wrong

Again... your bias shows itself. You only point to one side, only mock one side and only think one side is insane. You lack the integrity and honesty to say "look, i know I am biased" or the intelligence/awareness to realize it. You point to extremes which aren't representative of anything and cherry pick poor choices of words, pick on religious beliefs or personal beliefs don't necessarily typify those who elected them as they are electing them for a wide variety of reasons.
There are two parties in the USA. Each are full of self serving, power hungry idiots. There is a perfect balance of idiotic behavior on both sides... hence the continued existence of the system. Of course, you only see that of one side... consistently, coincidentally also the side who does not represent your world view, your values, your economic views, your religion and so on. Shocker.
Of course, and on it will go with you because you will not admit your bias, you will not admit to what others are pointing out is a glaringly obvious (and quite annoying) pattern of behavior and you continue to rationalize that behavior and thus, continue the behavior. You are a alcholic saying "i just like to have a few beers".
