In the DU thread above, andy has decided that the Theory of Relativity is liberal claptrap and a conspiracy used by liberals to justify abortion.
Imagine andy sitting on a peer review board.
Imagine andy the electrical engineer who worked at Bell Labs writing:
Biblical Scientific Foreknowledge predicts that a unified theory of all the laws of physics are impossible, because light and matter were created at different times, in different ways, as described in the Book of Genesis.
Can we please NOW STOP giving equal time to lies?!

I hate that fucking old harpy.

(13,252 posts)Bats provide bug control and pollination. Harpies provide good fodder (*snort*) for ancient mythologies.
phyllis provides a voice for gangrene spewing from the toxic brain matter of teabagging snake-oil salesmen wrapped in the sacred garment of "religion" worshiping at the altar of hatred.
*sigh*
That was funnier in my head.

Aw, nevermind. No fun if I have to explain it.

(111,121 posts)'Generations' radio host Pastor Kevin Swanson said this week on his radio program that certain doctors and certain scientists have researched the wombs of women on birth control pills and found there are these little tiny fetuses, these little babies, that are embedded into the womb."
Swanson concluded: "And these wombs of women who have been on the birth control pill effectively have become graveyards for lots and lots of little babies," reports RightWingWatch.org (audio below).
Pastor Swanson said: "Im beginning to get some evidence from certain doctors and certain scientists that have done research on womens wombs after theyve gone through the surgery, and theyve compared the wombs of women who were on the birth control pill to those who were not on the birth control pill."
"And they have found that with women who are on the birth control pill, there are these little tiny fetuses, these little babies, that are embedded into the womb. Theyre just like dead babies. Theyre on the inside of the womb. And these wombs of women who have been on the birth control pill effectively have become graveyards for lots and lots of little babies."

It's a good thing he's on the radio. I think his congregation would barely be able to suppress the giggles if he said this crap in front of any woman with even rudimentary reproductive knowledge!

(13,252 posts)I know you've followed this particular crowd as long or longer than I.
When you read the above, were you reminded of the "atrophied uterus" argument against education for girls/women?
It's no matter. I think I just wonder if I'm the only one who makes those types of connections.

(111,121 posts)Women were to be kept pure and in a state of nature--you know, ignorant, decorative and powerless--until they married and started to work like mules.
I grew up around people who were born into and spent their formative years in the late Victorian period. I heard every bit of the crapola. Then I ignored it.

These people have been working on the educational systems in the country for at least 40 years. Now we're starting to see the fruits of their labor.

I'll have to search my links to give you the name. That's just one I've found. The heritage foundation, aei, and others have been busy for 30 or 40 years or so, too.

(8,556 posts)The explanations are absolutely priceless:
Bon Jovi, 'Livin' on a Prayer '- Organized labor is harmful to the welfare of workers, who turn to prayer.
Bee Gees, 'Stayin' Alive' - Pro-people and pro-staying alive, and this: "we can try to understand/the New York Times' effect on man."
Fleetwood Mac, 'Don't Stop' - Used by Bill Clinton as his campaign theme song in 1992, but liberals often try to appeal to conservative themes for elections.

(13,252 posts)But some of what they're writing over there is downright horrifying. I keep thinking people will read it and be as astounded. Then I remember politicians arguing "legitimate rape" based on 14th Century belief systems and global warming deniers and holocaust deniers and the recent reporting of the "christianization" of Texas school books and on and on.
I think I'll stop there. I'm depressing myself and I was getting into a good flow of silly.

Harvard has many little odd pockets of conservative incubator programs too. Film came out last year, Verita$, which was very interesting. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2073702/
