Speaking Of Intelligent Design

Science sweeps the Dover school board:
DOVER, Pa. - Voters in this rural school district Tuesday ousted eight school board members who backed a controversial policy to introduce high school students to “intelligent design,” which critics say is a form of creationism.
Voters replaced the GOP incumbents with a Democratic slate that called for removing intelligent design from Dover’s science curriculum, returns from all six precincts showed.
See, this is pretty consistent in most places. Once voters become aware of a wingnut school-board agenda, they reject them in the next election - because most people want their kids to have a good education.
No wonder the wingnuts lie to get in. They can’t win otherwise.
Thank Darwin. This was starting to get ridiculous. Like Kansas.
The wonder is that these wingnuts, and everyone who voted for them, have gone home tonight and prayed to Jay that they be granted the strength to try again, to do whatever it takes to bring about God’s Kingdom on Earth.
Tomorrow morning, here we go again.
When will they be satisfied to live in their own pants, and not everybody else’s?
When will they be satisfied to let people live without placing everyone of us on probation?
When will they follow Jesus around and not their fellow citizens?
Apparently never.
Proselytizing is political, not spiritual.
It’s just a theory that those eight Republicans have been voted off the school board. Just one theory out of many that are possible. There isn’t agreement among all the voters.
I think that in order to be fair and balanced you need to present all the theories, not just one.
Here’s the York paper article:

What Do People Who Work at IRS Stand For?
More than 100,000 people work at the IRS. People like Frank, Jeff, Laurie and Linda. In our new world of market, networks, organizations, friends and families, these four and thousands of their colleagues depend on one another every single day…

Isquierdo, you are just so right. I mean, who are you going to beleive, Karl Rove, or your lying eyes? Sure, there’s a theory that the votes mean what they say, but it’s only a theory.
In honor of your deep insight, I suggest that we each beat the living crap out of a halocaust denier, then deny adamantly that we did any such thing.
Ooohhh Ad Hominem attacks - a sure sign that someone’s been offended, and has nothing of substance with which to respond.
I find it curiously amusing that a group of elected *local* officials were voted out of office for trying to de-politicize “science,” AND that the people who replaced them promised to maintain the status quo. *That* is what I call “progressive” … So, where’s the science?
And why don’t similar tactics work at the State and National level?!
