...Apparently, in Texas you can be astoundingly dishonest and advocate teaching pseudo-science to children, and still be reappointed to a job you’re not remotely qualified to hold...

Isn’t it frustrating, that in Texas we can do what we want?
“It’s one of the GOP’s biggest problems, and it isn’t only happening in Texas. The religious far right is intent on dragging the Republican Party back into the Dark Ages.”
Wow! This was posted on LGF? Someone is about to get his Conservative Sheriff badge confiscated. Is that tar I smell warming?
He’s difficult to understand. Just about the time you are ready to vote him out of office he goes and does something like this.
Yeah, I’m begining to see that social conservatism and “Republicans” are not a very good match.
It’s s reprint of a blurb for U.S. News.
Yes, having a view on origins different than scientific orthodoxy could anger the Furher and his goosestepping followers in the acadamy. Don’t those flat-earthers know that the science is in? We’ll have no freedom of thought around here! SIEG HEIL!
I’m sure you didn’t intend to create an evo flypaper thread, lol.
What is it, about the State of Texas determining its own educational agenda, that you find bothersome?
Social conservatism is no more of a good match for transnational corporatism, than it is for postnational progressivism. The two are the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.
Whether Perry appoints an evolution or creation supporter is really a state issue and no concern of the federal government...
Quite frankly I want a state, local and federal government that stays the hell out of my paycheck,out of my home and out of my life!!!!!
Let me believe what I want to believe....
“little green footballs” is pseudo-conservative. they would rather take pot-shots at genuine conservatives than defeat the liberals.
lgf is a cancer on the conservative movement.
“Isn’t it frustrating, that in Texas we can do what we want?”
You’re right. It shouldn’t be. It used to only be childish liberals that thought with that envious mindset.
“social conservatism”
what other conservatism is there? do you honestly think you can have America without morals? do you honestly think you can protect America from islamonazis & other enemies foreign & domestic while the culture disappears in a drug-and-porn induced haze?
conservatism is meaningless without core principles about the way a society should conduct itself.
these aren’t meaningless slogans you know. nations & empires fall because of cultural debauchery. to moan about “social conservatism” is to have a half-baked approach to saving your country, your culture, and your civilization.
have your own opinions by all means, but don’t be so short-sighted as to denigrate people who realize that you can’t have fiscal conservatism or security conservatism without cultural conservatism.
Do you think that's the point of the article?
God Bless Texas. I’ve got an account over there on LGF, but my visits are getting fewer and fewer due mainly to Charles’ idiotic obsession with creationism.
They are plenty of conservatives who aren't thrilled either.
Who said anything about the Feds?
Good point. Unbridled corporatism (nothing to do with free markets, since most of these corporations thrive on government granted monopolies and through illegal but not enforced activity) has nothing to do with conservatism and has nothing to do with the Marxist left wing either. You could see the battle of corporatism against conservatives in the Prop 8 battle when PG&E (gov't granted monopoly) donated $100,000 to the campaign against Prop 8.
Ping.
Where’s your counterpart? :)
