He has attacked CAIR - A BIG indication of real conservatism.
I think someone brought up Broun’s views on evolution. Here’s the Wikipedia entry on that.
- Criticism of evolutionary theory -
On September 27, 2012, in a speech at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman’s Banquet,[60] Broun stated that the sciences of embryology, evolution, and the Big Bang are “lies straight from the Pit of Hell ... lies to try to keep me and all the folks who are taught that from understanding that they need a savior.” This position is in support of his stance supporting Young Earth creationism. In the speech he also said that, “Earth is about 9,000 years old,” that “it was created in six days as we know them,” and that mainline Christian denominations are “going to send their people to hell”.[61][62][63][64]
Science educator Bill Nye questioned Broun’s ability to serve on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, stating, ‘”Since the economic future of the United States depends on our tradition of technological innovation, Representative Broun’s views are not in the national interest”’ and that ‘”He is, by any measure, unqualified to make decisions about science, space, and technology.”’[65]
In response to Broun’s statements, in the 2012 general election, over 5,000 voters in the 10th District voted for Charles Darwin as a write-in candidate.[66] [67]
No doubt he will be attacked for this by the media. He better be prepared.
wow— if that is the worst the media has....I LIKE IT!
to many folks run away from conservatives the minute the heat gets turned up..but we whine and cry if the folks in DC do it...
shame
I’m sure all the mainline Christian denominations like Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians and Catholics will be happy to vote for a man who thinks their theology is essentially so wrong that their version of the Savior is going to send them to hell.
I hope none of you people who just formed a fan club based on his 4 principles are part of those denominations he blithely condemns to hell.
The problem is that his first standard is: Is it moral or right? According to who? It’s usually pretty easy to use common sense to determine if something is moral.
But “Right” is a little bit different. What if his beliefs about science aren’t “Right”, but simply a matter of the faith that he embraces so absolutely. He’s right and everybody who doesn’t agree with him is going to Hell anyway so he’ll vote the dictates of his faith.
There is nothing more dangerous than an religious absolutist with the power to make laws.
