One of the Obama/Dem/socialist storm troopers, who obviously lurks on FR, wrote this on my Sarah Palin message board:
"This site is brilliant satire. I applaud you, sir! You have those poor, deluded saps over at freeperville fooled, but I can tell...What they fail to recognize is that time is on our side. The younger generations overwhelmingly support gay marriage, abortion rights, stem cell research, universal healthcare, etc. All we have to do is wait. The republican base is dying off. Every day, more old, white christians die while younger brown people, athiests, women, etc get to vote. Are they going to vote Republican, the so-called party of God? Hell no! Republicans only have themselves to thank for systematically alienating every single person in this country who is not white, rich and Christian (evangelical preferred). That base is dying..."
Obviously, the propaganda message is orchestrated from on high-as I see this same theme in the comment sections of many websites. To you lurking storm troopers, so much for reasoned debate. GOD save us from your America.
Bobby Jindal and the GOP Don’t Believe in Evolution
Good, another reason to vote for him.
I don’t see why christains can’t believe in both. I’m a christain and I figure God had to create the earth somehow and evolution is probably how he did it.
God? Isn’t that the same fella Obama allegedly believes in?
Jindal Derangement Syndrome is just over the horizon.
This is only kinda relavent, but my dad always says the dianasours shows that God has a sence of humer.
“”It also reminded me how Jindal signed a dumb and devious bit of legislation last summer, allowing local school districts to promote alternative (i.e., religious) doctrines in their science curriculums when it comes to evolution.””
Okay, I’m glad you told me this was satire, because these discussions have been going on for a long time. It’s just that we want both “theories” to be presented side by side, given equal time. (that’s the best we can hope for)
As for your latter statements about trends with society/young people - hopefully, these young people will grow up, really grow up. Remember the old saying - “If you’re twenty and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you’re forty (or fifty:-)))) and not a conservative, you have no brain.”
“How can he equate ancient creation myths with the hard facts of physics and biology?”
Which hard facts of biololgy did you have in mind?
Anyway, I understand that Jindal graduated college with honors, after having majored in biology and public policy. He apparently understands that there’s no reason to be cramming young minds with the twin myths of mutation and natural selection as satisfactory explanations for the emergence of life or the appearance of new species. He’s right.
Evolution might be an adequate theory to explain how one breed of dog became another breed of dog. It’s completely inadequate to explain how tree shrews became human, let alone explaining where the first cell came from.
As one professional biologist told philosopher/mathematician David Berlinski: “Evolution? My dear man, that’s merely the party line.”
Sarah Palin did NOT say that Creationism had to be taught in Alaskan schools. She did not say that Evolution was wrong, either. All she said was that teachers should be PERMITTED to explain that Evolution is a theory, and to talk about the alternatives.
Seems reasonable to me. I’m not a Bible fundamentalist, but I have scientific problems with the general theory of evolution that I think deserve some discussion. And I think the kids need to be reminded that, even after all these years, it is still a THEORY. Intraspecies evolution is not controversial, but general evolution as the basic explanation for how things are raises all sorts of statistical difficulties.
It bugs me when the secularists and leftists insist that theirs is the only truth, and that no other positions or discussion will be tolerated in our schools.
I presume the same is probably true of Bobby Jindal.
Republicans only have themselves to thank for systematically alienating every single person in this country who is not white, rich and Christian (evangelical preferred).Actually, if you put all the non-white, non-rich, and non-Christian people in one group, I think you'd get at most 20% of the population. OK, maybe 25%.
If the left thinks that it is going to stay in power by positioning itself as the party opposed to 75% of the country, well, let's just see how that works out for them in the next few years. Obama may be black, but that doesn't mean that "black people won the election." Obama won the election because a lot of white people voted for him in addition to nearly all blacks who voted.
I hope this comment is an indication that the left is going to spiral into a frenzy of identity politics because if it does, the "age of Obama" won't last more than four years (and less if you count them losing Congress in 2010).
You would have never ever seen this tripe in USNWR which was conservative once upon a time
this reflects Mort Zuckerman's stewardship to a tee
These very same liberals have infiltrated this board claiming that somehow to side with the godless liberal fascist NEA is the conservative position.
What's truly comical is they make claims like they're Conservative and that they actually think we don't know exactly who they are!
Obviously, the propaganda message is orchestrated from on high
Actually, the propaganda message is orchestrated from deep below...
“How can he equate ancient creation myths with the hard facts of physics and biology”
How can he equate physics and biology myths with the hard facts of ancient creation?
It depends upon your religion.
OK. So where did the something come from? (Whose something was it?) And what/who caused it to go bang?
Funny how the left can conveniently ignore the hard facts of biology when it comes to *choice*, abortion, isn't it?
Nor do I.
