Evolution is Just a Jewish Plot

Greetings and Felicitations,

I bet you never knew that:

Quote:
The late columnist and to-the-bone Texan Molly Ivins couldn't have thought this one up if her absurdity-meter were spring-loaded, revved up and set to overdrive. Sorry she missed it.

Rep. Warren Chisum, a self-described creationist who is also a Republican state representative from the Texas Panhandle, Appropriations Committee chairman of the House and the second most powerful member of that august body, must have figured that he had that lefty evolution-touting crowd dead to rights. In a memo Chisum circulated to all 149 Texas state representatives, Darwin's theory of evolution was described as nothing more than a Jewish plot.

"Indisputable evidence - long hidden but now available to everyone - demonstrates conclusively that so-called secular evolution science is the Big Bang 15-billion-year alternate 'creation scenario' of the Pharisee Religion," the memo said.
You can read the rest of the article here: Flat-earth society's warriors

Just when you thought the creationist had went over the edge of reality you find out just how far.

Sincerely Yours,
C. David Neely

Re: Evolution is Just a Jewish Plot

Nothing surprises me anymore.

Although it's amazing to think that Warren Chisum and mr. Bridges who wrote the memo met on a committee at the National Conference of State Legislatures. And Mrs. M asked what the harm of creationist nonsense was?

Ahh... the natural marriage of anti-intellectualism and anti-Semitism. One can only wonder what took so long...

Luckily for them the first two rules of thumb of dealing with psychotic patients are: (DSM-IV)
  1. Do not attempt to talk patients out of delusional beliefs
  2. Do not laugh at bizarre, psychotic material that may sound funny but is clearly not meant to be funny

Re: Evolution is Just a Jewish Plot

...this is so sad its funny... indisputable evidence. sad really no one cares about all the blame passed on jews, and jewish conspiracies. its kinda funny i must admit i laugh a little inside. imagine if people started blaming everything on black people, there would be an uproar. but na jew blame is way to ingrained in our society, its been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

Re: Evolution is Just a Jewish Plot

What's additionally bizarre about this malicious ignorance is that the Jewish Torah--in Genesis, the keystone of the Jewish faith--is what is being cited for the truth of creationism as opposed to evolution. I would think even the most ignorant of hateful ignorant bigots would pick up on the absurd paradox in this claim, but it reminds me once again that ignorance knows no bounds. Sadder yet is his holding of elected office and other influences and it will make an even sadder statement for each of those organisations, parties and/or voters who retain him.

Thanks for the good laugh, David, it would be funnier if my own brothers didn't believe it. I went to Hall's site and surfed around--pretty amazing! Makes a person suspect that there may not be any intelligent life on Earth after all.

There's a few intelligent lives on Earth yet. But if they don't solve the education problem, there will be less and less as time goes on.

Re: Evolution is Just a Jewish Plot

why do we have to elect people based on the fact that there is an R or a D next to thier name?? why cant we make cspan have canidates speak with no money involved, and you know what..ban campaign contributions ads bumperstickers...make them talk on cspan and at speaches around the country everyone with an even time alotment. and then probably stop electing minor officials and have them appointed by the mayors/ govenors that we DO vote for. i think that could put an end to stupidity and corruption.. but of course there would be no way to do this..

Darn good rules.

Don't know how to live up to them if you can't commit and lock up the patients but instead see them in office and other influential places because of, or, at the very least regardless of, their conditions but .. good rules nonetheless.

You mean bastards, right?

There's at least one in Texas and one in Georgia. This memo went from rep. Representative in Georgia Ben Bridges to Texan ditto Warren Chisum, who with this endorsement distributed it to the members of House of Representatives in Texas. According to The Dallas Morning News, Chisum "expressed chagrin that he didn't vet the material more carefully". Sadly though, I'm pretty sure the moron still "greatly appreciate his [Repr. Bridge's] information on this important topic".

*edit* Btw, please notice that The Fair Education Foundation, Inc. is the owner of the FixedEarth.com website. The one that exposes the Copernican myth! Something's rotten in the state of .. Georgia.

Sometimes they get scared away by logic and facts.
