* "ANYONE that is HYPHENATED has DUAL LOYALTIES!!

Wait, I know this one! Woodrow Wilson:

Any man who carries a hyphen about with him carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic whenever he gets ready. So we should be ready for when he gets ready, because he's already ready to get ready.

Okay, I made up the second sentence. But he really said the first one.

That is what separates him from groups like ICR and AIG.
ICR and AIG do far superior work than the junk they publish in garbage evo journals like New "Scientist" and Nature. (In the latter, the bias toward methodological naturalism is evident in the title.)

Textbook writers should be looking toward ICR and AIG as references, instead of evolutionist nothingness-turned-to-stardust-turned-to-pond scum-turned-to-salamanders-turned-to-monkeys-turned-to-man nonsense that has been rebuked a million times over.

"Why target just the ToE? Why not target all scientific theories?"

Because Evolution is a religious, simpleton child's fairy tale guessing game of hoping and wishing and hating alternatives that are equally, if not more, probable. I don't feel the same way about the theories of physics; it's an actual science.

Of course it's not all bad:

You really need to let the plants and the various single cell organisms know this. Or are they doing a real good job of faking us out?

[leftysergeant]

And I noticed you haven't acknowledged WildCat's proof that Bush did indeed deal with pirates during his administration. Or is intellectual honesty too much to ask for from a lefty Rush wannabe?

I'm still looking for further details of that bust. It seems not to have been much reported at the time. Did the Shrub actually take any active part in the planning? Was the Navy actually looking for pirates, or did they just stumble on them in the middle of some other operation?

That it was successful kind of argues against the likelihood that Shrub had much to do with decision-making.

For sure, his follow-on operations in that regard suck long and hard.

 

[Lemastre]

Let's stop comparing anyone to Bush. Bush was totally inadequate -- at best a blind pig who in his stumbling along may have avoided some disasters out of dumb luck but mostly just did what his neocon handlers wished. His performance is hardly germane to anything from here on.

Call me twisted, but I can't wait for the video of the takedown to be released.

Speculating: I don't think they want the fact to be broadcast they used infrared vision to spot the bad guys inside the raft enclosure.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

It amuses me that all issues can be divided into left, right and center.

What center?

Oooohhh, let's.


Nah. It would mean I couldn't post this from Mother Jones:
Somali Pirates: Another Thing To Thank George W. Bush For?

The current downward spiral began in December 2006, when Ethiopian troops, backed by U.S. intelligence and air and naval support, overthrew Somalia's Islamic Courts Union, a conservative Muslim regime that had ruled for just six months.

The resulting turbulence has not only compromised the safety of locals like Mohamed, but also threatened to undermine America's efforts to fight terrorism. As in Iraq, the war here has outraged legions of Muslims, causing many to side with Al Qaeda against the United States and its allies. Somalia may barely register with the American media, but the bloodshed is a major story on Al Jazeera. Across the Middle East, Somalia is viewed as another hostile front in Bush's war against Islam, says Colin Thomas-Jensen of the Washington-based Enough Project. "In the minds of Muslims, this is the third time the U.S. has supported the toppling of an Islamic government with no political plan for the aftermath, leaving behind chaos."

Henry Morris, founder of "Scientific Creationism", claimed that trees are not actually alive.

 

[boloboffin]

I seem to recall that George H.W. Bush was the one that sent the troops into Somalia right before tossing Clinton the keys to the White House. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Hah. Good point. That's why Noah didn't take them on the Ark. They don't have "the breath of life" in them, though that's also probelmatic for metmom's blood=life as well.

Poor C/IDers every time they think they have something reality bites them in ass.

The iron law of unintended consequences.

I find theocracy preferable to very little, of course, but I'm pretty sure I find it preferable to anarchy. In the abstract, I think I do. In this situation, I'm sure I do.

You're correct. American troops went in in December 1992, IIRC, to provide protection for UNOSOM relief efforts. However, it should be noted that the decision to take direct military action against Mohammad Farah Aideed's faction was taken on Clinton's watch. But then again, given that Aideed's faction was trying to violently disrupt UNOSOM's efforts to provide relief to anyone not of Aideed's faction, that was not an unreasonable course of action to take in the circumstances.

That's an important point to bear in mind: the US contingent was not fighting Somalis in general; they were specifically fighting one faction, and one that was trying to deny humanitarian aid to the other Somali factions.

This is from a Crevo thread, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of some of the posts there, especially:

Bones are organic and elemental and they become elemental as the organic decays into methane and other compounds. Once the organics are gone, its the minerals and they are as old as the beginning. Think about it. All of the elements has to happen at the same time. They “formed” compounds and we attempt to age the compounds. But the elements MUST be all the same age. Or, where did they come from? They couldn't have merged or they would be compounds. So, all of the elements happened at the same time. If the residual bones are mineral and, thus, elemental, these dating techniques should date everything the same age. I've never beieved in these chemical/atomic dating techniques. The assumptions necessary simply don't withstand scientific scrutiny or a good cross examination!

If you read on, you see that she's a lawyer. Wonder if she's ever read the Dover decision?

She gets kookier further down the thread:

Its not a creationist vs. evolutionist argument (although, I am a rabid creationist because its true). The debate is dating. I don't believe for one minute that the Earth is more than 10,000 years old. All of those amazing dates are fantasy and are espoused constantly by the left to destroy the religious base of our existence. Individuals have a G-d. But, the collective has DNA and tissue with no need for the individual.

Until I see rational evidence that anything is much older than 10,000 years, I won't believe. G-d has revealed as much as we need to know about the world in his word. For man's logic and wisdom is foolishness to G-d. We would all be better off studying how G-d created the world and how He made it work than try to "devine" some theory based on junk science and Marxist ideology.

You should alert all the people that panned Black Hawk Down because they felt the US soldiers there "had it coming."

 

[GreyICE]

What center?

It's really simple. Rush Limbaugh is right. Al Sharpton is left. Alex Jones and Ron Paul don't agree with either of them, so they're center. Everyone else agrees with one of those people, so they're what we call sheeple.

The Big Government Public School worshippers will continue to worship the Public School as long as a liberal policy upholding a Temple of Darwin religious philosophy as its foundation.
The fact that the Big Government Public School monopoly peddles anti-Americanism, sex perversion, unspeakable immorality, Obama marxism, etc. does not matter.

To these worshippers, none of these terrible things matter as long as the worldview of a Creator God as the foundation of America is destroyed as a matter of Public School Policy straight from the far left fanatics who are kings over the Public School indoctrination camps.
