Maryland GOP candidate is a neo-Confederate who believes in creationism, but not state laws

Republican voters in Maryland have chosen as their nominee for Anne Arundel County Council a neo-Confederate creationist who believes local law enforcement should disobey “invalid” laws passed by the state’s General Assembly.

Michael Peroutka, who won the Republican nomination in the District Council race last month, donated a dinosaur skeleton earlier this year to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky.

More than half of the 10-foot-tall, 30-foot-long allosaurus’ bones were found, and they were arranged in their correct anatomical positions, rather than scattered – which is frequently the case – which the museum has said this suggests rapid burial and therefore confirms the biblical flood.

The 61-year-old Peroutka is a debt collection lawyer, former Constitution Party candidate for president, and former board member for the neo-Confederate League of the South.

2. ... and getting dumber every day.

Environmental toxins could possibly be a cause. The steady stream of professionally created propaganda doesn't help.

3. I think the propaganda is the main cause. Toxins, a very close second. nt
