“Intelligent Design” pretends to be a scientific acceptance of evolution by the hand of God. Do not be fooled, it is nothing of the sort, it is the same “religious creationism” that has denied evolution since the first evangelical clown put on a red rubber nose and dyed his hair orange.
What we see in this Pew research poll is the ONE THIRD RULE that came to me when this website began on paper back in 1993. One third of Americans are ignorant, intolerant Right-wing boneheads which we can see in most any political graph over the past 30 years or so.
As the graph also points out, the bulk of them come under the term “evangelical.” Though that one-third also includes the sub groups of gun enthusiasts, racist organizations, the confederacy, Libertarians, Tea Party, militias and of course the extended Robertson, Deen and Palin families, even the bulk of those sub groups fall under the moniker of “evangelical.”
Also note that the “unaffiliated” and the “white mainstream protestant” are about equal.
Obviously “evangelical” is the problem. It tied to the Jewish Neocons are why we are in a physical war with Islam, which is perhaps the most “evangelical” of all religions.
“Evangelical” means: We intend to shove our religious views down your throat by whatever means we can get away with.
This next graph comes to the nub of the matter in the here and now. That the Republican Party, driven as it is these days by the all white geriatric Tea Party has moved 10 points further into Evangelical Christian Fundamentalism since 2009. Or as serendipity would have it, the year a black man became president of the United States. Which is the central dynamic causing the GOP move to the extreme Right. NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. PERIOD. ADAF. END OF STORY,
Jesus hates fags, and black presidents!
