Think Progress » O’Donnell On Creationism: ‘Too Many People Are Blindly Accepting Evolution As Fact’

The Tea Party’s victorious upstart Christine O’Donnell has paraded some “biblical” viewpoints in her pursuit of public office, equating a lack of school prayer with weekly school shootings and masturbation with adultery.

Really? Evidence?

Back when DUHbya was the best and brightest Republican, Conservatives crowed about being “The Party of Ideas,” as well as, Deep Thinkers.

Vote for a positive future in November.

In a National Review Online interview (via the New York Daily News, [the adulterous Newty Gingrinch] said: "This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president.

"He was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve…He was authentically dishonest."

At a Wasilla, Alaska, 9/11 Remembrance Rally, which Sarah Palin and Senate candidate Joe Miller attended, a Baptist pastor said this: "We have cowards in the White House. We’re afraid to say anymore that we’re a Christian nation. Islam has stated they want to rule the world, and they are taking over." …

Mike Pence at the Washington rally: “We’ve lost respect in the world. We are going broke. The American dream is dying and our social and cultural fabric is unraveling. People are scared. If we do not succeed in November, all that once was good and great about this country could someday be gone."

Clearly, dishonest cowards out of touch sums up the conservative bowel movement today. “People are scared”? Because Conservatives do everything they can to keep them scared. Is this a cynical setup for the next Ronnie Raygun’s Morning in AmeriCo: It’s OK to feel good about AmeriCo again, now that a white guy is in charge? Or are they merely content to rake in big bucks from the frightened masses for more bobblehead dolls?
