Cindy, Where Do You Stand on Abortion?
Good job Cindy. Let me see if I have this right, you were in favor of Roe vs. Wade before you were against it, but didn't know your husband was opposed to it. But the answer, a decision for the states sounded safe and you didn't have to look so damn stupid so you embraced that answer. And since you left everyone just a bit confused the campaign explained that you are in favor of keeping Rowe vs. Wade. You might want to write that on an index card and carry it around with you lest you forget. Oh and Cindy ask John what he thinks, you wouldn't want to get off message.

- Anti-evolution movie is deceptive by design - The Carpetbagger Report
Ben Stein’s new documentary attacking evolution titled “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.” It now appears that Stein and the group that produced the film may have employed deceptive tactics to trick evolution proponents into appearing on camera. Three noted evolution supporters came forward this week to say they were misled.

The new guidelines could not be clearer:
Creationism and intelligent design are not part of the science National Curriculum programmes of study and should not be taught as science.
That doesn't mean it cannot be mentioned of course, but the guidelines state that it should only feature as part of discussions about what does and does not make a scientific theory.
The use of the word 'theory' can mislead those not familiar with science as a subject discipline because it is different from the everyday meaning of being little more than a 'hunch'. In science the meaning is much less tentative and indicates that there is a substantial amount of supporting evidence, underpinned by principles and explanations accepted by the international scientific community...Creationism and intelligent design are sometimes claimed to be scientific theories. This is not the case as they have no underpinning scientific principles, or explanations, and are not accepted by the science community as a whole.

- Hersh: "The President Has Accepted Ethnic Cleansing"
The Surge means basically that, in some way, the president has accepted ethnic cleansing, whether he's talking about it or not. When he first announced the Surge in January, he described it as a way to bring the parties together. He's not saying that any more. I think he now understands that ethnic cleansing is what is going to happen. You're going to have a Kurdistan. You're going to have a Sunni area that we're going to have to support forever. And you're going to have the Shiites in the South.
Evolution - Creationism
Majority of Republicans Doubt Theory of Evolution
More Americans accept theory of creationism than evolution <
Only 14% of those who said they didn't believe in evolution cited a lack of scientific evidence as the reason, and that's why they call it faith.
The majority of Republicans in the United States do not believe the theory of evolution is true and do not believe that humans evolved over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. This suggests that when three Republican presidential candidates at a May debate stated they did not believe in evolution, they were generally in sync with the bulk of the rank-and-file Republicans whose nomination they are seeking to obtain. . .
The data in this analysis were measured in the context of questions about the origin and development of human beings. It is apparent that many Americans simply do not like the idea that humans evolved from lower forms of life. This appears to be substantially based on a belief in the story of creation as outlined in the Bible -- that God created humans in a process that, taking the Bible literally, occurred about 10,000 years ago.
Americans who say they do not believe in the theory of evolution are highly likely to justify this belief by reference to religion, Jesus Christ, or the Bible. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation between high levels of personal religiosity and doubts about evolution.
Being religious in America today is strongly related to partisanship, with more religious Americans in general much more likely to be Republicans than to be independents or Democrats. This relationship helps explain the finding that Republicans are significantly more likely than independents or Democrats to say they do not believe in evolution. When three Republican presidential candidates said in a May debate that they did not believe in evolution, the current analysis suggests that many Republicans across the country no doubt agreed.
