Sarah Palin favors teaching creationism in schools.

[ChrisFromNJ]

Just a reminder that behind all the good looks, Sarah Palin is just your average, run of the mill far right "conservative" who rarely strays off the GOP reservation and gets their orders from the conservative talk radio wing of the party.

Maybe we'll find out more about Sarah Palin's record and what she stands for and less about how she competed in the Miss Alaska contest as the days go by.

Chris,

You're right.  But it won't hurt the GOP ticket.  Most Americans want science replaced with Bible stories.

Oh yeah, Torie...I don't think this is going to go that far.  Really.  My issue is more with "Kansas" or that town in Pennsylvania if you know what I mean.

OH MY GOD THIS MEANS RETHUGLIKKKANS MIGHT LIKE HER

[Sbane]

Well it seems like she held this position just to get some fundie votes, but she is very ignorant on the subject. I doubt she will try and promote creationism in the white house though so whatever I guess. But if she does..... oh boy. Anyways I am sure the base of the anti-science party will love this.

I posted it somewhere else already, but this is a better thread for it. War and Creationism, indeed.

There is nothing wrong with teaching creationism in school.  You teach the Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Hindu, and all other creation stories in school, but not Christian creationism.  Kind of a double-standard, huh?

She was referring to teaching it in a science class, not a literature class.

Also, we read a healthy chunk of the Old Testament for AP English.  But generally Christian creation isn't taught because the vast majority of students already understand it.  The old mythology is mostly taught for the purposes of understanding other cultures, and knowing literary references (same reason we read the Bible).  Either way, no issue with teaching about the contents of the Bible in school.  Just not in science class.

Many school districts don't teach it at all.  And as I've said before, it doesn't belong in Science class, but it does belong in school.

Yeah, and it's a shame they don't.  But Palin's quote is about the science classroom.  Maybe you were doing a bit of a non-sequitur there to a more interesting topic.  Didn't think of that -- sorry for hijacking.

Disgusting.

It's a bad thing to most normal Americans.

Now if only the corporate mainstream media would tell us more about her far right-wing record and less about how she was the runner-up for Miss Alaska.

Oh yeah Santorum is just adored by normal Americans eh? Is that why he lost by 20 points in PA? Oh wait that's because of "casey". I would bet anything even bugsy Rendell would have beat him by at least 10-15 points.

No where in my post did I say that he was adored by normal Americans.

Get off my dick, dude. Seriously. You're annoying now.

Bill and Hillary Clinton = normal Americans.

Rick Santorum = not so much.

As much as you would like to think otherwise.

New deal democrat said that normal americans are put off by Santorum and you seemed to disagree with him. As you can see from election results in your own state, only conservatives like Santorum while most liberals and moderates detest him.
