AL-Gov: Republican candidate horrified to be accused of believing in science

Oh, for the love of [insert preferred deity here] ... just when you thought it was impossible for the Republican Party to careen even further to the right, we now have a gubernatorial candidate in Alabama who is fighting back against the charge that he believes in science.

After an ad appeared that said, "on the school board, Byrne supported teaching evolution, said evolution best explains the origin of life," Bradley Byrne howled:

As a Christian and as a public servant, I have never wavered in my belief that this world and everything in it is a masterpiece created by the hands of God. As a member of the Alabama Board of Education, the record clearly shows that I fought to ensure the teaching of creationism in our school textbooks. Those who attack me have distorted, twisted and misrepresented my comments and are spewing utter lies to the people of this state.

Here's a thought ... if Byrne is right and "this world and everything in it is a masterpiece created by the hands of God," wouldn't that mean God created the theory of evolution?

Seriously, it's a party gone mad ... the mere suggestion that Byrne supported teaching a theory that's been kicked around since the 6th century is a twisted distortion and an utter lie. The crazy bar just keeps getting raised higher and higher.

And further and further to the right. Some will - not be happy until we are

a full-fledged theocracy. Scary, scary, scary to realize how far off the wire some of these folks have gone, and they don't even realize how crazy they sound.

And I get a call this morning, phone number blocked, and a chirpy little woman gets on the line and says she is with the Republican Party, doing a survey, "just one question," and says, "Can you give us your idea on how we are going to get rid of Nancy Pelosi?" Honestly, it sounded scary with the intonation she was using, as if anything and everything would be considered up to and including violence. I gave her a real earful and told her not to call again. Hey, if they are legit, why block their number? What is happening to the Republican Party?

They've sold out. They embraced and and pandered to this - good question

extreme conservative side of their party and now they've been overtaken. They created this monster and now they are self-destructing because of it. Traditional Republicans are a dying breed and, to add insult to injury, many of the few that do still exist are now being deemed "not conservative enough" and being drummed out of their own party by those they created.

I would have freaked had I gotten a call like that. It's a very bizarre and creepy survey question, but speaks volumes about the deterioration and desperation that has possessed the Republican party.

You are hilarious. The "monster" is in the White House. - -dems are the ones self destructing.nm

Yet another hit-and-run insult with absolutely - ZERO substance.

So, your post means exactly that-zero.

Then why bother replying, huh? ;-) - GoodDay

Sold out? Ha! So, its okay that Obama and Pelosi - bribe Congress to get what they want?

[ In Reply To ..]
THAT is much more scary to me! I used to be a proud Democrat -never ever again! They are the most corrupt party. Obama is the most secretive president in history, and even the press is feeling snubbed at this point. They used to have a love affair with him. Oh, and how about the CBO now stating his wonderful HCR bill will cost $115 billion MORE than first thought! -so pathetic.

Well...if the number was indeed blocked - sm

how do you know that the person on the other end wasn't just saying she was from the republican party?

It not just him. It's everybody down to elemetary schools - Backwards Typist

Somebody must have put something in the water. The whole country is going crazy and no one realizes it.

Every sentence a person speaks has political overtones today (or so the wild side tries to read into it). By wide side, I mean the extreme bloggers, media, etc. No one can say anything without the other side making it political and try to read something into it that its not.

For example, just because there was a photo of Cagen(sp) playing softball, they think she's gay? SO WHAT!!! Be more attentive to what she accomplished in her life. Is she QUALIFIED? That's the important fact, not the other crap.

Another example is the school in CA and the crap with the kids with the American flag being blown up like it was. It wasn't a problem last year. Why this year? Don't tell me it's because of the AZ law...that's just an excuse and not the real reason.

It all boils down to being political correctness being taken too far by the kooks.

People have to start thinking before they speak/write articles. We need THE TRUTH, not the silly stupid crap being put out today.
