For anyone wondering, this ridiculous tripe came from the American Thinker blog, often used as material on the Rush Limbaugh Show. For more on Rush Limbaugh see this and this.

Here is a nice clip of Al Franken explaining some other places Limbaugh gets his facts. (Franken's best selling book, Lies And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, available now.)

The article, was written by Bruce Walker. So was this:

quote:

No crimes of Judeo-Christians remotely approaches the holocausts of Aztecs, Japanese, Nazis, atheist Russia or atheist Japan. Why? Because all religions are not the same. Some religions are good and some religions are bad. Almost every single movement or belief which we now consider good originated in Christianity or Judaism. http://www.americanthinker.com/2007...s_delusion.html

He also wrote this, arguing, as far as I can tell, against equality of women, and suggesting that women are mentally inferior.

quote:

If sexual roles define how other species live, then why is Homo sapiens any different? If human societies which have had no contact with each other all are constructed around sexual differentiation of roles, then how can that be the product of anything except natural forces? Yet sociologists, psychologists, and a whole host of other “scientists” have solemnly told us that a “Vast Patriarchal Conspiracy” (not unlike Hillary’s Vast Right Wing Conspiracy) have warped every singled major human civilization. Never mind that standardized test scores have consistently shown that boys and girls have different cerebral capabilities. Never mind that, left alone, boys and girls behave differently. The “science” of these sociologists compels that federal judges order that boys and girls be treat the same, and the “science” of educational experts reinforces that. No intelligence, indeed, no common sense allowed. http://www.conservativetruth.org/article.php?id=477

This is kinda fun. Lets play a game, see what crazy Bruce Walker quote you can find! Theres so many of them I just don't know which to choose.

I'm one economist not in line with the Republican Party...

all politicians are capable of breaking the law. including the pure-as-the-driven-snow Democrats.

as individuals, they act individually. as for the ideals and core values that constitute either and all political parties as a whole, you can't begin to prove that conservative ideals lead to the breaking of laws.


the argument that attorneys can bring substantial,or more importantly, beneficially substantial change to a Constitutional Republic is almost an oxymoron.

well duh.

doesn't change the fact that the current leaders of the republican party exude dishonesty and are the worst government that the US, UK or australia have had during my lifetime.

How am I confused? Like most Americans, I supported the conservative agenda, until the conservative agenda went haywire the past 7 years. Don't blame me for changing parties, blame the president. The losses of staunchly conservative precincts in Mississippi and other states detail at how the Republican Party is in decline. With that decline goes myself to the other side. Yes, I hate taxes. But when the only low-tax party is so staunchly for the wrong foreign policy and continues blundering our country into destruction, I have no choice but to vote for the other party. I'm libertarian socialist, and I'm not confused about that...

Nah. Look at the title of the thread. There is at least a fair point made on demographics, which nobody has yet attempted to debate, which is simply the basic premise of the document. To each his own as to the conclusions they draw. I have plenty of lawyer friends. Probably too many.
