On June 27th, Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann, announced her candidacy for the presidency of the United States. There are two issues that will always tell you if your candidate is a flake: 1) Global Warming, 2) Intelligent Design. And she failed on both of them. Even Sarah Palin is not a Creationist!
According to CNN, Bachmann recently said that she doubts Evolution and wants Intelligent Design to be taught in schools, click here. She said: "I support Intelligent Design...What I support is putting all science on the table and then letting students decide. I don't think it's a good idea for government to come down on one side of scientific issue or another, when there is reasonable doubt on both sides."
~ Bachmann says hundreds of scientists believe in Intelligent Design.
Intelligent Design or Creationism is NOT science whatsoever. To give it equal footing with Evolution is like comparing the General Theory of Relativity to astrology. And here's another stupid idea, why don't we also teach astrology to kids in schools as a scientific theory of the universe? Astrology has just as much if not more theories than Intelligent Design. In fact, some say that Intelligent Design lacks a cohesive theory altogether. It just proposes a bunch of ignorant and confusing assumptions about Evolution and touts them as scientific theories. For information on the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District court battle, click here. This case exposes the nonsense that is Intelligent Design.
Once you open the Pandora's Box by allowing laymen to determine what is science, then literally hundreds of other religions, sects, Satanic cults, and God-knows-what also have the right to call their nonsense scientific truth and access our children's minds.
And Bachmann's views on Global Warming is just as dangerous. Her ignorance on the subject boggles the mind. It's better to just let her own words make our point for us and we'll simply rest our case on that.
~ Where did they find this moron?

There are two issues that will always tell you if your statements are flaky: 1, use of any main stream media site such as CNN, and borderline hysteria about something you know nothing about.
