Oh, hell no. This aggression shall not stand.
So, this happened when social media blogger, author and screenwriter Kelly Oxford took to Twitter to sneer while watching “Cosmos.”

I can not believe I moved to a country where people do not believe science is real. I don't understand. God bless Cosmos. Goodnight.

Huh. It’s weird how those silly science-hating rubes are somehow forcing her to remain here. What power they have! Hey, Ms. Oxford, if you are worried about science-denying, have a chat with Nancy Pelosi’s anti-science daughter.
Oxford continued to look down her snooty nose. She, and her children, are far too smart for such things, you see.

@kellyoxford U don't think perhaps you are influencing their reaction? There is a lot that I knew, but I was still able to enjoy it.

@kellyoxford Of all the things in this world to rip on, it's like ur going out of your way to find an issue with this.

@kellyoxford Bitching about a show that is meant to educate people makes u sound ridiculous.

Because she’s now onto you big dum-dums, you know.
Enter fellow Canadian, actor and filmmaker Seth Rogen. His scornful tweet was retweeted by the oh-so-tolerant actress Elizabeth Perkins, natch.
@kellyoxford who needs science when you have no health care and machine guns?

Sigh.
@Sethrogen There's still so, so much for me to learn.

@kellyoxford they think in Canada we have to wait months before getting a doctor's appointment.
— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) March 17, 2014
@Sethrogen They also think the only way a Canadian gets cancer treatment is if they come to the US, because they "heard that."

Double sigh. Well, they sure did pick up on American Democrat talking points and spin rather quickly, didn’t they?
This Twitter user sums it up for the condescending pair.
@kellyoxford @Sethrogen good thing you can still move here for professional success and low taxes.

Ding, ding, ding!
And here is an exit generalization, since the snide Rogen and Oxford seem to like those so much.
