Here we go, folks

It's only a matter of time, folks, before this ridiculous superstitious anti-science makes its way onto the national stage. And with the shamelesss bastards we currently have in office I have little doubt they will ram through whatever their so-called "mandate" (of 3%) justifies, in their pitifully narrow-minded worldview:

Bush: Intelligent Design Should Be Taught

I'm really so, so disgusted, almost depressed really, about the state of this country. Our leadership -- and I use that term advisedly -- seems to have no trouble at all executing even the most outrageous policy, or even breaking its own rules. I have been a pretty politically aware person even when I was a little kid -- I read the Watergate transcripts when the hearings were going on -- and I have never seen the kind of revolting behavior that I have seen with Bush & Co. And worse than their behavior is the fact that the American people -- even most, it seems, of the almost half of them who didn't vote for this bumbling moron of a sock-puppet stooge we've got in the Oval Office -- just sort of give these cretins a free [pass to do as they damn well please. Karl Rove is a fat traitorous lying bastard? The president says anyone involved in leaking Plame's name will be fired? Ooops, sorry, folks, I mean anyone convicted of a crime would be fired -- I guess that's the ethical standard for White House employment. Oh, OK, President Dipshit. That's fine. Tell you what, Georgem we'll just not even think about it anymore. What's the next outrageous stupidity you want to ram down our throats? Ah, a recess appointment of another Plame-related lying bastard whose blunt, moronic abrasiveness will play well to the xenophobic dimwit Americans among us but do nothing to repair oour almost irreparably damaged image abroad? That's fine, sir. Oh, over 40,000 wouded and close to 2,000 dead American soldiers and over a 100,000 Iraqi civilians are dead and more are dying every day so we could get rid of Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction and now there aren't any? No problem, sir. And by the way, could you give me a reach-around? No? Oh, well, that's OK.

Every time some new outrage hits the papers for all of about 12 hours I think, finally, the American people, the good ol' horse-sense American people will rise up in anger against these pimps and swine. And then, nothing happens. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Not a damn thing. Oh, the Rove thing had some Washington reporters sniffing blood in the water and they rose from whatever comatose state they have been in since 9/11, but that all disappeared. The inquiry into John Roberts' background has similarly vanished frm the pages of the newspaper. What the hell is going on? Why the hell are people not angry about the arrogance, the presumption, the sheer balls of these assholes?

Mark my words -- this Intelligent Design rubbish is gathering steam and it is only a matter of time until it breaks on the national legislative stage. And when that happens . . . please, don't roll over, people.

And now your surprise quote of the day.

"On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly.

The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.'

Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.'"
