“There goes the planet.”

With any luck, Sadie, they won’t be his constituents much longer…

So Little Ricky is doing his damnedest to further confuse his constituents? What a load of santorum!

Santorum’s desertion of the sinking ship is documented in the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Rick Santorum on Intelligent Design

“Therefore, intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes.”

- 2002 Washington Times op-ed article

“I’m not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom.”

- Interview in August on National Public Radio

“I do not believe it should be required teaching.”

- Interview yesterday with The Inquirer

“I thought the Thomas More Law Center made a huge mistake in taking this case and in pushing this case to the extent they did.”

- from Inquirer interview

I wonder what other prominent supporters of ID (the Cowboy comes to mind) will say?  Probably nothing.

I see Santorum has decided to longer sit on the advisory board at the TMLC.

I had just always assumed that the Northern states, especially Minnesota, were more progressive than the rest of the Midwest (like Kansas or Indiana).

All they do is drink, watch Nascar, pay-lip service to Jesus, and worship Bush.

Yikes. Sounds just like Kansas! I’m glad I got away from it.

Why would anyone be surprised about this? The ratio of morons to intelligent life in the Midwest is so far off it isn’t funny. Being born and raised in Indiana, I can honestly say I am not surprised at all.  I expect this to be ongoing throughout most of the middle of the U.S.

They don’t get out much.

My neighbor in Indy didn’t know that Paris was in Europe, and that Europe was across the OCEAN and not part of this continent. That’s what average American is, y’all.

ps. I wouldn’t categorize most of the members here as average anything.

Oh Sadie. 10 years ago I would have told you that it was a slam-dunk (then Dubya would have said “good job Paulsie!” and gave me the medal of freedom…) but I don’t know my state so much anymore. When the manufacturing jobs were plentiful the entire cast of Deliverance, the Hills Have Eyes, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre moved here looking for work. All they do is drink, watch Nascar, pay-lip service to Jesus, and worship Bush.

Progressive? We used to be, but now…

I don’t know a whole lot about Michigan, but hopefully it’s progressive enough to recognize the transparent aims of IDiots trying to push Creationism—uh, I mean Intelligent Design—into public schools.

I keep hearing the argument from TM’s that ID can be taught because it doesn’t conflict with scientific teachings of evolution.

That is a baseless argument and Judge Jones was wrong for even leaving the door open.  At this juncture the objective of True Believers is to merely cloud the issue.

First and foremost, does ID contribute anything to the educational process and the scientific community?  If so, does the benefit of teaching of an otherworldly designer warrant taking time away from other course material?

…there was no fundamental conflict between the theory of evolution and a belief in a creator.

True. Based on Jones’ words I would say that there’ no fundamental conflict between my shower and my transmission either.  ID and science cannot be taught side by side because at the end of all the arguments, one is science and one is philosophy.

Be thankful Les.  A school down here in Texas just voted to abandon the text put out by the IDiots in favor of the King James Bible.
