Remember, Republicans are anti-Science! and Democrats are the party of Science!. As G.K. Chesterton never actually said:
“When a man ceases to believe in God, he doesn’t believe in nothing. He believes in anything.”
I wonder if this knowledge can be used against Democrats, like if there is a big vote coming up Republicans can scare them away by dressing up as ghosts? Of course, Senator Byrd would probably take it the wrong way…
Other Science! for Democrats:
– Global Warming
– Fire can’t melt steel
– Global Warming
– Keynesian Economics
and last, but not least, did I mention
– Global Warming
I think this jsut proves what everyone already knew: democrats are about twice as stupid as Republicans.
party of science! sorry can’t make it – got plans
You could do similar polling here, Frank. For example:
* 99% of IMAO readers have reported seeing Trolls. 1% (the Trolls) report seeing hoards of Zombie Reagans.
New survey finds that 60% of Democrats believe claims by Scientists! that 1 + 1 = 3.
only science can explain Democrats.
Hey, the Bible has an instance of talking with the dead in it, so Democrats are really just 99.99999999% crazy.
Hey, Frank! If you continue to make fun of Democrats and Science! then Madame LaRue told me to use my Harmony Crstal to send all my dead ancesors to give you an atomic wedgie!
Aw, bloody heck. The ghost of Teddy Roosevelt stole the ‘y’ and ‘t’ from my last post.
science is the only thing that can explain Congresscritter Henry Waxman.
If you don’t think the Democrats are up on current science, check out Nancy Pelosi’s face. I didn’t know plastic could be shaped that way.
The real problem is that nobody understands what real science is. The scientific method to Global Warming alarmists consists of looking at some computer models and then claiming that the truth is in that model. Forget that the software used to create the model was written by a 43 year-old guy named “Sparky” living in his mom’s basement, who also happens to believe in global warming, along with gnomes, hobbitts, and anything to do with D&D.
Dems aren’t crazy, unless crazy like a fox counts. This is a shakedown, pure and simple.
Weekly World News explaine Henry Waxman years ago: Batboy! http://babyhatchetblog.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/bat-boy-2jpg
Majority of Democrats read the Weekly World News because it’s got better credibility than NY Times, Wa Po, Etc….
Frank, the Dimocrats are ‘The Party of Seance!’, not Science!
One of these days if anyone confronts me when I’m talking about space issues (I speak on this subject on occasion) about the whole atheism 2.0 (read: like we weren’t big enough militant @ssholes before).
Anyway, here’s my exercise for the audience…
Stand up if you are an atheist.
Sit down if your father was absent or someone you did not respect.
Sit down if you believe in ghosts.
Sit down if you believe in Nuclear Winter.
Sit down if you believe in SETI.
Sit down if you believe memes or Selfish Genes are real, validated scientific concepts.
Sit down if you think feminist studies, queer studies, black studies, or other areas like that are legitimate uses of scholarship money but respectful Christian studies are not.
[You could keep this up all day.]
Last question…
Sit down if you are nervous that the next thing I say is going to compel you to sit down, or you are generally considered a pompous @ss.
With a sufficiently intimate group, where people have known each other for years, you may not have too many fakers standing up because someone in the room will call them on it.
Sarah Palin could take advantage of this during her presidential debate.
Obama: I brought Hope and Change to the people of the United States.
Palin: Hey, Obama?
Obama: Hmmm?
Palin: Boo!
Obama: Eeeek! OK, you win!
I love how science and the belief in God have to be exclusive to my progressive/ Athiest friends. “You hold an archaic belief in a God?!? So that means you don’t believe in Faraday’s Law and think magnetic fields are the work of god.” To which I respond with “What?!? Dude, get a girlfriend.”
Exit Question: If you express a belief in God on a blog, and nobody reads it. Can Charles Johnson still ban you from the site?
Heh. reality-based community. BTW; yes Charles can still ban you.
* When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything.
* This quotation actually comes from page 211 of Emile Cammaerts’ book The Laughing Prophets (1937) in which he quotes Chesterton as having Father Brown say (in “The Oracle of the Dog” from 1923): “It’s the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense.” Cammaerts then interposes his own analysis between further quotes from Father Brown: “‘It’s drowning all your old rationalism and scepticism, it’s coming in like a sea; and the name of it is superstition.’ The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything: ‘And a dog is an omen and a cat is a mystery.'” Note that the remark about believing in anything is outside quotes – it is from Cammaerts. The American Chesterton Society has explained the origin of the phrase.
I learn something new every day!
(LFOD: The Party of Seance – heh, good one.)
Romans 1:25
They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
