Republicans voted out of office, HAHAHAHA!!!
Why, given my political leanings, would I be happy to see Republicans losing elections? Because they back intelligent design, that’s why. Voters in Pennsylvania sent a clear message that: 1.) people in the U.S. still have some common sense and 2.) stupidity from elected officials will not be tolerated. I don’t believe idiocy should be tolerated from Republicans any more than it should be tolerated from Democrats.
Voters in last Tuesday’s elections gave eight Republicans the boot in Dover, Pennsylvania. The positions up for grabs were seats on the local school board. The eight Republicans in question had come out as publicly backing a prepared statement on intelligent design to be read in the school biology classes. They lost to eight Democrats who wanted ID to be removed from the curriculum. Good for the Dover citizens.
I’ll say it again – if you believe in intelligent design and want to have your children learn it, you’re an idiot and that’s your choice. The rub is that it must be done at home or in Sunday school because it does not belong in science classes. Its hypothesis cannot be tested and it certainly cannot be proven. Teaching something that basically amounts to, “we’re not sure what’s up so it must be god” simply isn’t acceptable as science. I mean really, gravity is – in scientific terms – just a theory. Why don’t we have nutjobs saying things like “we can’t prove the theory of gravitation so we should teach children that god’s love keeps us from floating into space”? The answer to that question is simple: no one would take them seriously. And they shouldn’t.
My question is: why do we give the intelligent design idiots any credence?
Now if only Kansas would join the rest of us in the 21st century.
