That would be "you're" gay, not "your gay". Maybe I should reconsider you for the number 2 spot (or 3) on my "dumbest liberal" thread.

 

[ScienceRocks]

The left does some of this too.
1. GMO's. We know damn well we couldn't feed 7 billion humans without messing with things.
2. Bell curve. They'll scream bloody murder about this.

Can you feel all the love lately from your fellow lefties?

what haven't they call you yet should be the question

love, peace and tolerance is their motto, they crow about it constantly

threads such as this is proof of it..of course it's from the left wing hate site, alteredworldnet

man who can stand being around these types of people?

The Republican Party hasn't had a single idea that benefited the majority of Americans since before Reagan.


They've embraced anti intellectualism as a virtue for 40+ years, why do you think less than 10% of scientists self ID as Conservative/GOPers?

Obama and the Democrats have been in power for six years now. The wealthy have got wealthier, the percentage of people who qualify as poor has grown to the highest level in 40 years, energy costs have been the highest in over a decade for six continuous years, more people need public assistance than ever before and you think the Repubs are to blame?

Oh, the width and depth of the hole the Bush/GOP recession put US into doesn't matter, just that we aren't completely back on track where Clinton had US before the GOP took over?

BTW, Less than 6 years, Obama came into office Jan 20th 2009 AS THE ECONOMY HAD TUMBLED 9%+ THE PREVIOUS QUARTER AND LOSING 700,0000+ JOBS A MONTH


In 8 years Bush lost 673,000+ PRIVATE sector jobs, took US from Clinton surpluses to crushing debt, AS the GOP has worked against EVERYTHING that might help US? I know, more UNFUNDED tax cuts while we go to war? Perhaps give US UNFUNDED Medicare expansion (Part D) that costs as much this decade as Obamacares does (CBO), which is 100%+ funded?


BTW, 5+ million private sector jobs under Obama, gas prices are where they were in July 2008, SLOWLY digging out of the Bush hole, WHILE the GOP refuses to get out and push

well bow to him every day, please
you are one in the very small minority of 30 something % who will...the other 60-70% of the people disagrees with you, damn that must hurt

that's what I'm striving for, it would be an honour.

Opposing hucksterism and abracadabra is not "anti-intellectualism."

Most "scientists" are liberal because most are sucking on the government tit.

 

[Dad2three]

Good rebuttal *shaking head*

Conservatives are mostly dumb, simple minded and with zero honesty today

Interesting response. Based on your elementary rantings above I had the impression you were a so-called "liberal."

You mean like the Founding fathers, the most radical liberals of the day, not the conservatives (Torries) who stood with King George in 1776? Yes, I am a huge liberal, unlike a conservative who can''t/doesn't use reason, logic or honesty....

Sure, and conservatives have such a good record of being on the correct side of history in the US with the major policies since our Founding right? lol. Care to point to the last one the conservatives were on the correct side of history on?

Republican Acceptance of Evolution Plummets



A poll released today by the Pew Research Center reveals that acceptance of evolution among Republicans has plummeted in recent years, from 54 percent in 2009 to a jarring 43 percent today. The poll also found that a startling 48 percent of Republicans believe that all living things today have existed in their present form since the start of time.

Democrats and independents fared much better: 67 percent of Democrats accept evolution today (up from 64 percent in 2009), while 65 percent of independents accept it (down from 67 percent in 2013). Overall, 60 percent of Americans accept the basic fact that “humans and other living things have evolved over time,” meaning 40 percent support, to varying degrees, creationism.

You say that like it's a bad thing...However, it might just be that they're right and you're a victim of brain washing.

"In June 1936 Max Hahn and his wife Emma were on a walk beside a waterfall near to London, Texas, when they noticed a rock with wood protruding from its core. They decided to take the oddity home and later cracked it open with a hammer and a chisel. What they found within shocked the archaeological and scientific community. Embedded in the rock was what appeared to be some type of ancient man made hammer.

A team of archaeologists analyzed and dated it. The rock encasing the hammer was dated to more than 400 million years old. The hammer itself turned out to be more than 500 million years old. Additionally, a section of the wooden handle had begun the metamorphosis into coal. The hammer’s head, made of more than 96% iron, is far more pure than anything nature could have achieved without assistance from relatively modern smelting methods."

The fact remains that Obamas energy policies hurt the middle class. Energy costs RAISE all other costs. Higher food costs? Extra fuel costs. Extra electricity costs? EPA regs. EVERYTHING costs more now, than six years ago. That has a direct and immediate impact on the middle class and that is PURELY OBAMA's responsibility.

Can't blame Bush for that one. That is all Obama. As far as your claim about the hole Bush put us into, that is more the fault of the media than anyone else. They went out of their way to report every negative thing they could to drive the economy down, just like now they are lying through their teeth trying to pump up Obama's "successes".

The facts are there are more people who are living in poverty AFTER Obama than before. That too is on him. There are fewer jobs in the US because of policies that HE implemented. That too is a fact.

The London Hammer: An Alleged Out-of-Place Artifact



However, the hammer was not documented in situ, and has not been reliably associated with any specific host formation. Other relatively recent implements have been found encased in by similar nodules, and can form within centuries or even decades under proper conditions (Stromberg, 2004). The hammer in question was probably dropped or discarded by a local miner or craftsman within the last few hundred years, after which dissolved limy sediment hardened into a nodule around it. Although a brief rebuttal to Baugh's hammer claims was made by Cole (1985), Baugh and a few other creationists continue to promote it. This review provides further analysis of the hammer and creationist claims about it.
