School teacher implies that evolutionists are extremists

I am shocked in a good way by this.

Over on Republitarian there is talk about the Kyoto Treaty and the U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement. Unsurprisingly, Myron does not support either and called the supporters extremists. Our local friendly school teacher came along and left this surprising tidbit:

Maybe we have different definitions of “moderate” and “extremist”, but the vast majority of Americans believe global warming is occurring, and the vast majority believe that humans are at least part of the cause for that warming. FOX News poll says so. TIME magazine poll says so. So actually, it’s the “it’s an unproven theory” folks who are extremists, both scientifically and politically.

Basically those polls say that about 82% of Americans believe in Global warming and about 79% of those believe that humans are at least part of the reason for it. Thus, reasons the government school teacher, those in the minority are actually the extremists, both scientifically and politically.

Since those that hold a minority opinion are now extremists, both scientifically and politically, I urge this good teacher to start a petition to remove the teaching of evolution from our government schools. After all a vast majority of Americans believe God had a hand in our origins. Our schools shouldn’t be used to promote extremist views.

On a slightly different note, yet somewhat related, I’m surprised this man would accept the results of the polls he cited. If you read closely you will see that one poll used the opinions of 1,002 people while the other only had 900 participants. Assuming a US population of about 303,824,000 this means that only between 0.00029622% and 0.00032978% * of Americans were surveyed.

Back when a petition was being circulated in Harrisonburg to remove the treasurer 10% of total number of voters that voted last time to elect the treasurer was deemed insufficient by this same teacher. 10% is about 30,000 to 33,000 times greater than the percent of Americans surveyed in his polls.**

*rounded to the nearest ten millionth

** I am being factious. At least a little. I know these two things aren’t exactly the same, but still…

Exciting news for SWAC coming next week

We studied what the dems were doing. Raising Kaine was an umbrella for numerous independent liberal blogs, and those bloggers would post and cross-post with RK. They amplified the message by repeating it over and over.

. . .

Seems that the conservative bloggers have learned from the liberal bloggers … and been very effective at it … thus being criticized by the libs. I will not stop the practice I learned from them because I know THEY will not stop. “Fight fire with fire.” ~SWACgirl, 7/18/2008

Since this is murder, why isn’t this?

SPAM in SWACistan?

Who would have thought?

Two ways this could have happened. 1) Google’s spam filter could have picked it up. 2)SWACgirl was turned in by a disgruntled reader.

She makes a case for it being number two. It does appear that people might be taking advantage of google and reporting blogs they don’t like as spam.

But number one should still be considered. Perhaps SWACgirl met the criteria for a spam blog.

From Wikipedia:

Spam blogs, sometimes referred to by the neologism splogs, are artificially created weblog sites which the author uses to promote affiliated websites or to increase the search engine rankings of associated sites. The purpose of a splog can be to increase the PageRank or backlink portfolio of affiliate websites, to artificially inflate paid ad impressions from visitors, and/or use the blog as a link outlet to get new sites indexed.

Maybe a little less circle linking is in order? ;)

Sorry, but this isn’t torture.

Let’s make sure we understand this. A 15 year old kid goes off to Afghanistan to die fighting the Americans so he can be rewarded with 70 virgins. Despite throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier and then being shot three times, he doesn’t get the virgins. Instead he had his life given back to him and a trip to Cuba–where he was tortured. Except not really.*

So what was this “torture”? Sleep deprivation. Every three hours he was moved to a different cell. And it doesn’t appear to have had much affect.

Certainly Umar did not appear to have been affected by three weeks on the ‘frequent flyer’ program. He did not yawn or indicate in any way that he was tired throughout the two-hour interview. It seems likely that the natural resilience of a well-fed and healthy 17-year-old are keeping him going.

Three hours of sleep at a time. Is it pleasant? No, but then neither is blowing people up. Is it torture? Pffft, that’s not much different than caring for a nursing baby. There have been times when I would have done a happy dance to have been able to sleep for three hours straight.

*I’m basing the “except not really” on the articles I have read and the portion of video that has been released.

No joke.

Inexperience
Youth
Racist church
Supported by terrorists
Muslim background
Militant wife
Looks like Curious George

And there’s nothing to joke about? Give me a break. There is plenty to joke about; liberal political correctness just won’t allow it.

Often times humor relies on stereotypes, exaggeration, ridiculousness, ridicule or just plain old outrageousness. With the race card falling at the drop of a hat  I think everyone is reluctant to be labeled a racist for making a joke.

Here’s the racist black hole video.

Mr. Price appears to have some issues. Scary that people like that get to be in charge of anything.

Scientists be warned! “Black hole” is now a racist term

Along with “Tar baby”. No, I’m not kidding.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term.

Better strike all these words and phrases from your lexicon just to be safe. And maybe you should run off a copy and carry it around so you don’t make a mistake.

Please let me know if I missed any. I want to be as racially sensitive as possible.

OK, Liberals. It’s your time to shine.

I want to see someone lose a job.

I want to see boycotts.

I want to see hate mail.

I want to see outraged blog posts.

I want to see this man shut down. There should be no place for this in politics.

Right now.
