Congress trolling the Christian Conservatives...

The whole notion of evolution causing "social harm" is a head scratcher. Unless of course if social harm is defined as not being waspy enough.

I agree with a "science day" in general over this. But I'd put Newton over Darwin if given the choice. I mean, it's not just physics but all of math that Newton made possible.

But most likely a troll, anyway.

Is it worthwhile to note that 10, 15 maybe 20 years ago this wouldn't at all be considered trolling anybody?

But somehow in the new millennium, we started moving backward and now we have the most visible/vocal political movement in the U.S. populated with stunted Jesus juice drinkers? Who of course turn on Jesus the moment somebody actually quotes him, like the Pope.

Excellent points, as always.

I forget also that the MSM is set up at this point to put the extremists on-air to do battle with "the left," making it appear (incorrectly) that the TPM represents anything near a majority or even a large minority in this country.

Still, it is a sad day. 15 years ago these people would have been considered bozos by EITHER party. Now they dominate the "conservative" viewpoint.

I always got a huge kick out of how Bush/Cheney literally used the Christian vote for a two-night stand in 2000 and 2004 and then completely discarded them, not even faking trying to advance their agenda. Showing that even they thought they were chumps.

Yet here they are, now dominating the conversation. Although the other reality is when you've got people like the Koch Bros. pumping millions into any group they're going to be heard.

I think the only distraction the Dems have been using for years is "Look! We're not them!"

Because they sure haven't done shit in six years...
