Fearful Design

"Hippies in favor of getting hit by bolts of lightning"



God must really have these folks in PA scared. They've scared even the judge in the 3rd circuit court, John E. Jones (Appointed by George Walker Bush no less) into making it a crime for any teacher to even say the word God – unless I would suppose in the context of an epithet.

Most people understand that this school district wanted to teach “Intelligent Design” with the core studies of Darwinism and Science – which teaches we all evolved out of single cells billions of years ago. But, unfortunately that's incorrect. What the school wanted to do was simply read a few paragraphs at the beginning of these biology classes – one time in the school year (when the classes started) that there was this “thing” called Intelligent Design – and here's what it is and here's where to find out more about it – then move on for the rest of the entire school year, teaching science biology and Darwinism. Seems simple enough right? However, the people of Dover Pennsylvania seem to not like God very much and are threatened by even a few paragraphs being mentioned once (yes, that's one time in the school year) an alternative to Darwinism. I read the paragraphs and the mention of “God” isn't in those paragraphs.

An editorial from Dec. 21st in the Detroit Free Press states:

“Jones went even further, castigating members of the school board in Dover, Pa., who tried to make “intelligent design” a required part of science classes. It was nothing but a pretext, he said, “to promote religion in the public school classroom” in plain violation of the separation of church and state that was a purposeful inclusion in the Constitution of the United States and has served this nation well.”

That the Judge (who doesn't need a layman like me telling him his business) doesn't know there is no strict interpretation of “Church and State” in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights is fairly amazing. This proposed separation doesn't exist. All Senators, Governors and Representatives of the Congress including Judges to the Supreme Court as well as State Representatives take an oath of office with their hand on a Bible – the oath also mentions God. What about this “separation between church and state” issue? It was written in letters by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison years later as a policy that “should” be upheld – there's no Article or Amendment stating such – even though some will argue it's part of the 1st amendment. If it is, this separation is a HUNDRED times more difficult to interpret than the 2nd amendment which allows firearms for it's citizens – and yet – the gun haters are very quick to point out the 2nd amendment doesn't really mean what is says and it need to be interpreted.

What is it that threatens people when others use the word “intelligent design”? The Boston Globe Op-Ed says:

“Believing in something doesn't make it so -- or make it science. And it's about time somebody called the religious right on this simple truth.”

So why not change the Evolutionary Theory into Evolutionary Fact. Heck, it's been a theory all my life so when will someone going to come along and prove it out? I wouldn't be hard pressed to shoot back::

“A theory doesn't make it so – or make it truth. And it's about time somebody called the radical left on this simple fact.”

Bruce Feiler from my least liked periodical newspaper the NYT says:

“At a time when religion dominates the headlines - from Iraq to terrorism to stem cells - finding a way to educate young people about faith should become a national imperative. Achieving this goal in a legal, nonsectarian manner requires Americans to get over the kitchen-table bromide, "Don't talk about politics and religion in public."

Brap! Wrong. We most certainly SHOULD talk about it in public. What, now I have to be a closet Christian? Put it in the back room as the religious haters can start persecuting Christians again like in the Dark and Middle Ages? Isn't this the 21st century where almost anything goes... but just not God. (Note: NYT Op-Ed piece totally being out of touch with the rest of non-New York society – who would have guessed!)

And all this happening so close to the major Western religious holiday, Christmas. When groups are boycotting Target and WalMart for using “Holiday” instead of “Christmas”, when local governments are legally required to ask private citizens to remove “the manger scene” from front lawns because someone has been offended, when supreme court cases are pending to remove the word “God” from the pledge of allegiance.

What I see is the far left hacking at the far rights jugular. By killing God in the public eye, the left will remove the major obstacle in their way of uniting moderates and secularists. To the atheists and those who renounce religion of any kind, the removal of ALL religion is the goal to unite all people as different religions have different beliefs which put all those not in the same religion at odds with each other. I do see this even within the Christian belief – the Catholics say the Baptists are going to hell, and the Mormons thing everyone but them are going to hell, etc. This for the anti-religious is a divider so why not remove God all together?

This is the same bunch who want to disarm Americans totally – making guns illegal to own or buy. The same who want the word God stricken from every piece of paper having to do with any local, state or federal government as well as all procedures in schools. They want less freedoms for our citizens for the “greater good of all people”, which means that since citizens cannot possibly do things themselves, Government must then do it for them.

Analogy time: In a bugs bunny cartoon from the 40's, an Indian is chasing Bugs, when he hits the Indian in face with a snow ball. The following dialog ensues:

Indian: (after just being hit with the snow ball) Snow? In summer time?
(Indian walks over to Bugs who's packing another snow ball in his hands)
Indian: Hey, how come you can makeum snowball in summer time?
Bugs: Well you see Hiawatha, it's too cold to make them in the winter.
Indian: Oh. Me say snow balls too cold to make in winter time.

In this analogy Bugs = “the Liberals” and the stupid Indian = “you and me”. (Unless “you” are part of the Liberals, in which case you're then Bugs). Got it?

These are the same types of things that happened during the 1920's and 1930's in Russia after the Bolshevik revolution when Communism started to come in power. The American left wing loved Russia and their new method of Government and wanted America to do the same. Everything was done for the “good of the people” which is a watered down Communist method called “Socialism”. Heard the term “It takes a village”? Well, our Hillary Rodham Clinton said that little ditty and it's right out of the Marx manifesto. Journalists and liberals in America during the 1930's fell in love with Russia – so people like Walter Duranty who worked for (how did you guess???) the New York Times, was a full on supporter and history tells us he covered up his knowledge of the atrocities that were occurring in Russia during the times so as not to disparage Communism. Thousands of supporters were ready to embrace Communism at the time.

“Stalin wanted control of the food supply to feed the battalion of workers that would carry out his “Five Year Plan” of rapid industrialization. Communist ideology also had to be enforced, which meant private land ownership had to be abolished. In order to collectivize agriculture, Stalin herded private farmers onto large, state-owned farms where they would supposedly word for the common good instead of private gain.”

“Even though the collectivization process was largely complete, Stalin's battle against the wicked Kulak (the large landowning peasant and “class enemy” of the countryside) was not yet over. They were “defeated” but not “exterminated”.

“Stalin began issuing delivery quotas for grain that the Ukrainians could not meet without themselves dying of starvation. Failure to meet the requirement was chalked up as deliberate sabotage.”

Sound familiar? One of the first things to go in Communist Russia was banning religion. If the people had hope through religious belief, it would hamper the states needs and provide a basis of revolt, so it had to go. Get rid of religion, disarm the public, put business and trade under government control, socialize medicine, the food and water supply, remove the wealth from the wealthy and give it to the government.

Fascism isn't the way, nor is it removing God from our language. Take a look at some of the Socialist Democracies in existence today. England, Germany, Australia, New Zealand. Very secular and God is a little private “joke” that only comes about once or twice a year.

This country was built by Quakers and Puritans – both super religious. The founders were all religious men, as was and is every President after them. Ripping God out of America simply won't happen – God's on our money, in our schools and sorry, you pass churches on your way to anywhere in this country, reminding you asshat atheists that people don't believe you because you want them to, but they believe in God because He exists. The more it's in the media, the more children and non-believers will ask “What's God all about?” And that's just fine with me.




Recommended reading: Thomas E. Woods, Jr., “The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History”. I highly recommend it as he points out where history revisionism is taking place in education – literally: History is being re-written to support certain points of view, or things are being omitted. For example: FDR – not a very good president, though most people today believe he was one of the best. (Read the book).
