For those that don't appreciate irony...

Eighty-three years ago this very day, a man was convicted of violating the Butler Act while teaching science to his students. He was fined $100 and fired from his position at his school in Dayton, TN. The teacher's name was John Scopes, and the "taboo" he was teaching was evolution. Today, we see a society where the exact opposite may very well happen... a teacher convicted of the "crime" of teaching "creationism"... or simply mentioning God... to his or her class.

THIS is what I am convinced is wrong with the Democratic Party. They foist such examples as Scopes, or Rosa Parks, or Susan Anthony as models for how society should "fight" injustice and intolerance... while promoting the SAME injustice and intolerance towards those with differing opinions.

It never ceases to amaze me that the people promoting the most "doom and gloom"... global warming, pandemic outbreaks of superflus, floods, famine, even meteor strikes... are the ones also promoting the REMOVAL of God from every facet of our society. No God in school, in art, in politics, or on public display.

On a daily basis, I am finding more in common between Karl Marx and the DNC leadership... and that is no joke.
