All the Wingnuts attack Ahmadinejad's view on the Holocaust but

[skip fox]

when it comes to evolution, they're willing to overlook tons of evidence and stand on their beliefs despite it.

There are differences, but in the regard that both think their personal, religious, or political beliefs trump the facts, Ahmadinejad and our administration (which claims to "know" despite evidence and with a president who says creationism an devolution are on a par, as did their senate majority leader, Frist, a doctor and a liar) are very much the same.

It's only a small fillip on the vast rococo monument to incompetence, anti-science, and lies that the Republican party has erected over our country, but I take it personally.

George W. Bush has endorsed Intelligent Design creationism's plan to corrupt education.

In a wide-ranging question-and-answer session with a small group of reporters, Bush essentially endorsed efforts by Christian conservatives to give intelligent design equal standing with the theory of evolution in the nation's schools.
It comes from an incredibly badly written article that then goes on and on to parrot the Discovery Institute's talking points. It really isn't just Bush, who is only the Moron-In-Chief, but an abysmally stupid press corps that is responsible for the propagation of this horribly poor idea.

Bush compared the current debate to earlier disputes over "creationism," a related view that adheres more closely to biblical explanations. As governor of Texas, Bush said students should be exposed to both creationism and evolution.

On Monday the president said he favors the same approach for intelligent design "so people can understand what the debate is about."

And they saying global warming is a hoax.

Can they wake up from such a state before they trash the planet?
