Maybe the lefties should go to North Korea.
Darwin's theory on evolution has been overturned time and time again. It's as wrong-headed as the Big Bang explanation but idiots still lay claim to it.

They just don"t get it! Religion and Morality are not synonymous words. Morality pertains to character and behavior, from the point of right and wrong. 50% paying 95% of the taxes is not Morality, EPA, EEOC, OSHA, Affirmative Action, Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, no Parental permission for underage abortion, Gay Marriage, etc., is not Morality.
Morality is character and behavior and personal responsibility, not the punishment of those who are and have worked for success.
Ping!
Keep calling Christians "dolts" That will get votes next election.
Evolution cannot be proven. There isn't one single example of it. There is devolution, as is evident in the democrat mind.
There is on the otherhand much more evidence proving creationist theories. What God made before man is irrelevant to the message in the bible and gospel. The Bible isn't about how the he created the earth, It's about the people he created. It's strange that everything said in the bible and places mentioned have come to be and been found in archeology digs. Anything science discovers has already been made by God. Man finds nothing new. Only the Bible has been correct about the future, man can only look to the past at what once was, and dream and speculate about the future. Even looking deep into space with the biggest telescopes, we cannot even see the present, only the past.
Typical liberal nonsense and elitist attitude (not to mention their intolerance and bigotry):
"If indeed all those blue states all got together and seceded from the union, think what would be left for those red states --
nothing. There would be no educational system. You would have
nothing. What would be left to you? I mean, where is all of this talent in this country? It's on both sides, the Northeast corridor."
-Geraldine Ferraro
"GW Bush and the American right wing Taliban are endangering the entire planet. If the rest of the world had a say, Bush and
Cheney would be in jail. Is it now morally excusable to organize
midnight raids on republican [sic] groups in the red states and 'terminate' them with extreme prejudice? Watching Bush's
acceptance speech on [November 3], with the Cheneys on stage as well
... who would not have liked to see a bomb go off under the stage and wipe out the whole despicable slimy lot of them?"
-Bill Maher
I think the fact that in 2004 George W. Bush received more votes and a higher percentage of the votes in Massachusetts than in 2000, demonstrates that all this red/blue state analysis is a bunch of nonsense.
Kerry was an awful candidate, even the rats didn't like him.
There are at least two schools of ethics. One school, (the morality one) accepts that there are certain things that we all understand are against the moral rules and if allowed by society to occur, will eventually ruin society. (These rules can come from scripture, or common sense, but people who believe in them believe they are apriori valid.
The other school, (the secular one) believes that morallity is subject to community standards and can be changed by a community if they so desire. In this way, some Mormans may support a small community of bigamists. The two schools of morality can sometimes both exist as long as there is some separation between them.
But the world is getting smaller and it is harder to argue that what happens someplace does not lead to affects in other places. So which morality do we accept? It looks like the USA is leaning a little towards the fundamental idea of morality. This is good in my opinion. Situational morality has always seemed to be nice in principal, but flawed in usage wherever it is tried.
Ignoramuses like Wills (and yes, I know he has a reputation as a "serious intellectual", however actually reading any of his books will quickly dispel that notion) always forget that there were two "Enlightenments" - the French and the Scottish.
The French one led to the Terror, the Commune, the spread of armed Socialist movements like Communism and National Socialism and finally to the complete moral and metaphysical bankruptcy of deconstruction and multiculturalism. The French Enlightenment produced nothing of any value.
The Scottish Enlightenment, however, produced such lights as Adam Smith who helped put practical concerns like economics on a rigorous analytical footing. It led to the explosion of brilliant scientific and technological innovations that made tiny Scotland the intellectual cradle of the Industrial Revolution.
The Scottish Enlightenment produced or provided the impetus for much of the comforts of modern life, including the economic system that made them possible.
I'll take Hutcheson over Rousseau any day, Wills, you silly old hack.
I have a solution for all these idiotic hateful liberals. get the hell out of the country if you don't like it. Go live in some middle east country and bow to their satanic Allah. I'm sure they'll be much happier. Or go to crumbling Europe, which is about to repeat it's history all over again, because they can't seem to grasp the concept that Christian morality was the glue that finaly held Europe together. Now that they are abandoning it, they are falling apart. Go live in the socialist utopia called Europe, who ironicly are embracing the cult of Islam, Trading the freedom given by God for the totalitarian murderous dictatorship of Muhammads satan, er Allah. Go DemcRATS, get lost.
I am embarrased to be considered a member of a species that claims the ability to reason and still can pose pose a stupid premise in the guise of a question.
They just don't get it!
WOW !!! bump
