with BOTH Mitt Romney and Rollins, first.
She is being set up, step by step.
She is an embarrassment to women AND conservatives.
She is an embarrassment to women AND conservatives.
Bachmann pushing intelligent design and other “extreme” religious right agenda items will ensure that she and whomever she partners with will lose.
For gosh sakes, don’t go so far right just because the nut in the whitehouse is far left. It’s not worth that gamble of losing.
Center right is the ticket for a win.
Palin/West
Bump.
Big mistake. Any conservative candidate should be calling for elimination of the Federal Dept. of Education, and permanent eviction of the Feds from all activities not specifically named in the Constitution.
I think that this issue is not the hill to die upon. A candidate should not deign to discuss it. I think that evolution is one of the grandest hoax ever perpetrated, but the issue is not in the Top 100 issues for Americans right now. A President could discuss his or her thoughts about ID, but while this position may draw primary voters, it will make victory next November immeasurably more difficult.
Thyat’s a vote killer for me. She’s jumped the shark.
This is too bad. Michelle is not as smart as I thought. She’s being sucked into an infinite morass of “gotcha” social issues the Marxist media is trying to tar her with.
All any GOP candidate for any office needs to do is stick to the following issues:
1. Reduce taxes and spending.
2. Do not increase the deficit.
3. Repeal Obamacare and replace it with real reform.
4. Repeal EPA authority over atmospheric gases.
5. Seal our borders from infiltraters.
6. Repeal all regulations and taxes obstructing the creation of jobs.
No matter what question is asked, you give only an answer for one of the above questions. It’s called “staying on message”, and no matter what you think of him, Scott Brown wrote the book on that, and it’s one of the main reasons he got elected.
I saw GOP candidate after candidate go down in flames in 2010 because they couldn’t keep their mouths shut and stay on message.
I hate to say it, but Michelle’s candidacy is probably over with. She’s already fallen prey to the left-wing’s vicious game of divisiveness.
if they would simply teach the facts, anyone with any sense would see the evidence of design.
Intelligent Design may not be science, but it is common sense.
But Bachmann is wrong to venture here. As another poster said, STAY ON MESSAGE! She won’t gain many independents with this talk.
First, we learn she thought the American Revolution started in Lexington, New Hampshire, so we learned she sucked at learning history. Now, we learn she believes in the “young earth.” Now we know she also sucked learning science.
It seems to me that if anyone thinks all modern species arose within the last few thousand years from a few “kinds” that could fit on a boat- they believe in “evolution” and “speciation” on a scale much greater than any evolutionary biologist proposes.
They just don't think “common descent of species” goes on as far.
What mechanism are you going to teach to explain the arising of antibiotic resistance, differences among human populations, selective breeding of dogs and the variations we have derived from a small population of wolves, etc, etc?
We were taught what intelligent design was and we definitely discussed it in high school Biology. I don’t remember anyone ever having an issue with it, nor any of the parents. We also learned what Creationism and evolution was. This in NY, late 80’s. Nobody had a problem with that. We also knew what the scientific method was and that there are different opinions out there. I don’t really see what the big deal is in discussing different theories, and each is a theory until proved fact. When faith and evolution are discussed, people will disagree on what is fact and what is theory based on their beliefs. To me that doesn’t mean these things can’t be discussed side by side. In fact, that’s the only way some people will be introduced to ideas different from their own. I have always told my children they are entitled to their own ideas and beliefs and to learn as much as they can because you better be able to back up those points of view!
Some day every last soul is going to get to have their meet and greet with the Creator of that said soul. There will be NO scientific methodology that redeems any soul. At the very core of the scientific methodology is ‘survival of the fittest’ thus government is needed to ‘save’ the less fit flesh... LIBERALISM in it’s simplest form.
I dislike the term “Intelligent Design”. We think we’re intelligent and we project that. How about “Omnipotent Design”? Wherein we have no clue how it works and all things, including evolution, are possible. At that level, preordained or random are just the two ends of the spectrum. Too much for our little brains? Can’t get ahold of it or manipulate it? Well, as far as I’m concerned, that’s a good thing.
There IS NO DOUBT about Creation, only people who choose not to believe
There is COMPLETE doubt among evolutionists, and they constantly change their theories to match their doubts
Genesis 1:1
The federal government should have NO ROLE in education. Eliminate all federal funding for education, fire the employees, and cut taxes so the states or local communities can decide what to do. Cut the federal taxes allocated to education by 70% and use the rest to pay down the debt. Even at that, the locals schools will have much more money than they do now; not that the community needs to put it all back into schools.
