Oh haven't we been sad over it long enough by now? Laugh it up. It is absurd and ridiculous more than enough to be hell of funny.
I found this part saddening. [rquoter]As for the study’s implications, Gauchat said it raises important questions about the future role of science in public policy. “In a political climate in which all sides do not share a basic trust in science, scientific evidence no longer is viewed as a politically neutral factor in judging whether a public policy is good or bad,” said Gauchat, who is also concerned that the increasingly politicized view of science could turn people away from careers in the field. “I think this would be very detrimental to an advanced economy where you need people with science and engineering backgrounds.”[/rquoter]
Excerpt from the Chris Mooney's new book about the prevalence of misinformation on Fox and the conservative tendency to not only believe it, but actively seek it out. Conclusion below. It's long so I'm not gonna quote the whole thing.
No, Batman, I for one do not believe Obama currently is a Muslim despite his background. However, I do know he is a political animal. If in the unhappy event he is re-elected, I wouldn't be surprised to see Obama "convert" to Islam to enhance his Middle East standing. As he already boasted about his "flexibility" to the Russians, he will have no worries about what the American public will think. He can then promote the incorporation of Sharia law into our judicial system. Speaking of which, I wouldn't be surprised if he attempts to add two or more justices to pack the Supreme Court with his idealogues for decades to come.
That's not even the worst part. I found the second half where Obama then tries to implement Sharia Law and proceeds to pack the Supreme Court with islamists to be better.
I've come to believe Obama has no moral compass. He professes Christianity (see Rev. Wright) because that has been politically expedient. When that strategy is no longer relevant, he will play to the group that will help him most, particularly in foreign policy, an area where he is incredibly weak-kneed and clueless.
