Just watched part of a video by Dr.Kent E Hovind. (Not of my own choice)
Dangers of Evolution
Seminar 5.

Now, according to the Doctor:

The USA is caught up in a conspiracy - the CIA smuggles in drugs to boost the need for an enlarged police force, which will come into force in the new dictatorship. When my mother said "Makes sense." I had to restrain myself from violence.

Schools and all form of public education are wrong. Public schools apparently indoctrinate children into Communists. There should be no education system spare Sunday School.

The media are socialists.

The teachers in Columbine should have had concealed weapons to shoot the two teenagers. Everyone should have a weapon according to Dr. Hovind, there should be no regulations for firearms ("The only gun control I belive in is to hit your intended target")
Possibly the worst part of the above was to watch the audience applauding the intelligent Doctor.

There are a whole lot more and I could sit through that video and take notes on everything Hovind says but I don't think I could stop myself from smashing the TV screen.

You have just described, in a nutshell, the whole reason I come to this forum.

I have a couple of heavy tory friends.

I'm always surprised at how they are able to make their own horse**** look morderately reasonable/plausable.

They're really hard to in down too. They answer questions like real politicians - rambling about something slightly off-topic until everyone stops listening (and acting indignantly whenever anyone interrupts to try to get them back to the point).


I quite like the challenge of pinning them down to things, and getting them to contradict themselves though - I think it's probably a useful skill.
As is seeing through the horse**** and picking up on the important issues they ignore, which compromise their argument.


To be honest, I think I still have a way to go at developing my seeing through crap skills, but I'm definitely getting there.

One time I had one guy swearing blind that 'EVERYBODY had a really good time in the 80s.' And backing it up with 'Of course they did' in the absence of real aruguments. Which he proceeded to shout whenever I tried to ask him about inflation and mortgage rates.

That's why I watch Fox News and lap it all up.

It was the fact that my mother sat there with a blank look in her eyes totally absorbed by this horseshit that irritated me.

I can actually believe this would be true. In the absence of firm evidence though, it falls into the category of "fantasy".

The rest of it sounds about typical for the Christian Right; unchristian, and wrong.
