Attack of the Theocrats!
I am gobsmacked to discover that in 1925 public opinion at this level of fundamentalism was on the side of reason, ridiculing the anti-evolutionists, yet today in 2012 they seem to have a free pass for their "beliefs" and a right to respect (?) as well.
America has successfully devolved in the last century! Congratulations.
PS just thought i'd share this great one-liner from the BBC radio comedy "News Quiz" last night....
"Rick Santorum has announced his withdrawal from the Republican nomination race .... in order to spend more time in the 18th century"
And also "all 4 of the original Republican candidates who stated that God had told them to run, have now withdrawn from the race ..... so God was hedging his bets and still lost to the Mormon"
It's going to be a long year....
