In Soviet Kansas, primaries create YOU!

I have nothing to say here....

Weeeeeeeee!

Yes, heaven forbid Democracy allow the population to choose leaders with points of view that they share (no matter how much you may dislike said POV). What *is* the US coming to?

What the hell is wrong with Kansas? The elect brain-dead fundies, and they harbour that hate-spewing Westboro Baptist homophobe. The bastard came up here to Canada a few years back to burn our flag because refuse to treat gays like dogs.

I hope everyone realizes Bush and Clinton are creationists. In fact, most of our presidents have been.

NEWS FLASH: Stupid people elect same to local government. Are we surprised? More to the point, is this really news?

A few years ago, the principal of a local school (local to me, anyway) actually went through the school's science books and glued together any pages that hinted that evolution might be true. And I don't even live in Kansas.

Creationists make me want to take a dump on someone.

Well, the tag is dead on at least...

The problem with letting people choose is that people are idiots. Any large mass of people will have a collective IQ equal to its dumbest member. I wouldn't trust the general population to make an informed choice about anything.

However, there are no viable options at the moment. We need infallible, tamper-proof computers so we can have a meritocracy (like A. C. Clarke suggested in Songs of Distant Earth).

Jarad,

Bush I can believe is a creationist simply because he's a religious moron. You're gonna have to show some hard evidence about Clinton, tho.

"Yes, heaven forbid Democracy allow the population to choose leaders with points of view that they share (no matter how much you may dislike said POV). What *is* the US coming to?"


-What is your point exactly? You seem to be rebutting an argument no one has made...


I have no problem with the conservatives getting elected, after all its slow news season and Leno's writers need material.

I'm not rebutting anything. I just think people are stupid. If they weren't Americans I'd say shoot 'em. If that's wrong, I don't want to be right. :-)

but god didn't create kansas... i don't get it...

somone needs to invent the mind eraser so we can wipe out kansas' idiocracy. who cares if they elect people who think like them. people thought hitler thought like them. just cause people are alike don't make em right. shiat.

people elected that crazy guy in Zimbabwe who's "redistributing" farm land.

People elected G W Bush.

fark.

Leno's writers need to DIE!

Yes, let's teach Creationism in science class instead of REAL science! That's a good way to learn them kids!

If you dont vote my way you are obviously retarded and can legally be destoyed to save the species. /brainwashed

can you name a conservitive republican who is not a creationist of any creed .. and for that matter naught of creed ?

Change makes the masses uncomfortable. Numbness is the ideal, apathy the motivation.

I know! Let's give the whole school board peanut butter and let Darwin sort 'em out!

If somebody can present some hard evidence that Bush is a biblical literalist, I'd be interested in seeing it.

You can't believe anything Clinton says about anything.

Not_Todd,

3 words: Faith-based anything

for every bit of freedom you grant the public, you lose a little bit of sanity. fortunately, most truly stupid people in this country don't vote (otherwise the GOP would control the house AND the senate)...

MAcBagWagon:
When Clinton, Barak, and Arafat were at Camp David trying to negotiate peace in the middle east, Clinton told Arafat that G-d chose the Jews to live in Israel among various other Bible based quotes.

Using mind erasers on Kansans would be like erasing a blank page.

Prediction: Kansas soon to re-enter limelight as laughing stock of the entire world.

Hmm... So, if I was in an argument about movies I said that Tyler Durden was less dangerous than Mrs. Bates, would that mean that I have a split personality?

too bad they weren't elected here in stupid Massachusetts.

evolution!

And by the way, I wasn't making fun of your nickname. Please extend the same courtesy to others...

Well, the headline is misleading, but I'll take the opportunity to flame anyhow.

Vote Creationist! The progressive voice for 1702!

none of this would be a problem if religion were just kept out of politics alltogether.

there's the argument that most of the founding fathers of this country were christian -- but in all due actuality, the majority of them were either unitarian or non-denominational. part of the reason they fled europe was to escape the hypocrisy of theocracies.

when countries start fighting "in the name of god" i.e. christian crusades and even the cold war, people lose their minds and forget to sit down and logically think things out. in that sense, that's one of institutionalized religion's greatest shortcoming. people get into a mob mentality and they become convinced god is on their side and therefore there's nothing to lose.

Each State is allowed to teach its children any damn way it wants. That's why we are a union of separate, sovereign states. Let Kansas teach fundamentalism to its children. Maybe all the fundies will move to Kansas and leave the rest of us alone.

Oh, and keep in mind that not all of the people in Kansas are mouth-breathing inbred retards.

Fox

board of education elects you!

I find it appallingly arrogant of the fundamentalists to try to tell God what means he may use to create the universe! Besides...all true believers shall break their eggs at the convenient end.

Maybe all the fundies will move to Kansas and
start a Christian fundementalist movement echoing the terrorist movement in Afganistan. nest we'll hear, death to the infidel states !!! from Kans-ass

Not all non-Christians are liberal Democrats.

Not all liberal Democrats are non-Christian.

But I suppose it's easier for conservative Republicans to stereotype and make it part of their party platform.

With 84 percent of precincts reporting, Bacon held 13,464 votes, or 57 percent, compared with 10,055, or 44 percent, for moderate Republican Weddle.

I think bacon is yummy, but I bet it gets disqualified for the exceedingly high levels of Nandrolone. I'd vote for bacon.

church + state = taliban.

fark on.

Drosen- Uh, this isn't a problem. Your idea of keeping religion out of politics is disqualifying Creationists...

(flame on)

If they start blowing up statues of Mr. Scopes, I'm gonna say "Denver is too close for comfort" and head WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Northwest.

OK, asbestos undies are secured. Here is what I think is the heart of the matter.

Science class is not about science. Math class beyond maybe algebra is not about math.

What math and science are for is to impart a method of rational thinking and problem solving techniques on the youngins that is useful for the rest of your life.

Religion, more particularly faith, is in direct oppposition to rationality and logic. Evolution, the big bang, etc are just the most glaring examples of where supernatural explanations for natural phenomena fail.
