What the Media Don't Want You to Know About What Evolutionists Teach

http://mightymag.org/category/cartoons/evolution-cartoons/

Godfather Politics  "People who attack doubters of Darwin rarely get confronted with questions about what evolutionists say about evolution. The following is a collection of statements by evolutionists about evolution that could result in a lot of commentary:"

• Carl Sagan: “The universe is all that is or ever was or ever will be.”[3]

• Larry Finkelstein (from an episode of the TV comedy "Dharma and Greg"): “We’re all molecules. We’re no different from the plants and the rocks.”

• Leslie Stahl: “They’re just a bunch of cells.”[4]

• Lionel Tiger: “‘Good’ and ‘bad’ as ideas are rooted in bodily tissue as realities.”[5]

• Francis Crick: “The Astonishing Hypothesis is that you — your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. . . .”[6]

• Lester Frank Ward: “[N]ature has neither feeling nor will, neither consciousness nor intelligence.”[7]

• Michael Ruse: “Morality,” like gills in fish and lungs in homo sapiens, “is just an aid to survival and reproduction, and has no being beyond this.”[8]

Next Obamacare push will come via the pulpit

Legal Insurrection  “The body is a temple and it must be insured!”

"Obama Administration officials are feeling the heat from the downward spiral of its figurehead health care legislation, and they’re looking for allies in what is arguably the most unlikely place on Earth—the Church.

"Unlikely indeed, considering religious organizations (and organizations run by religiously-minded entrepreneurs) have been engaged in an all-out war over Obamacare’s various mandates since before the thing was signed into law. Officials charged with making sure Americans enroll for coverage have always thought of religious organizations as outlets for promotion, but they’ve recently stepped up their game and started re-pushing pre-made educational materials to churches.

"The Weekly Standard explains: . . .
HHS Pushes Church Talking Points, Bulletins to Promote Obamacare . . .

. . .

. . . "Let’s say it again: partnership between the church and the government. Isn’t this the very thing liberals freak out about when discussing abortion, or gay marriage, or “lobbying from the pulpit?”

"Welcome to 2015, where literally nothing remains sacred."

Mainstreaming Jew hatred in America  . . . "By de-judaizing the victims, who were targets only because they were Jews, Obama denied the uniqueness of the threat jihadist Islam and its adherents pose to Jews. By pretending that Jews are not specifically targeted for murder simply because they are Jews, he dismissed the legitimate concerns Jews harbor for their safety, whether in Diaspora communities or in Israel." . . .

Livni: Netanyahu's settlement policies are isolating Israel  . . ."Livni charged that Netanyahu had made the same mistake with Iran by agreeing to address a joint session of Congress against the wishes of US President Barack Obama."

Obama Goes Golfing AGAIN as World Mourns Christian Martyrs  . . . "On Sunday, CBS’s Bob Schieffer said he was “bothered” that Obama “goes off to California to do a fundraiser” after ISIS announced the death of U.S. aid worker Kayla Mueller."

WH Statement on Latest Beheadings Neglects To Acknowledge Christian Faith of Victims   "In the wake of the gruesome ISIS (Daesh) video showing 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians being beheaded in Libya,  the Obama White House Sunday put out a statement condemning the atrocity. The statement was noteworthy for what it refused to acknowledge – the Coptic Christian faith of the victims – suggesting an attempt to minimize the religious aspect of the threat of Islamic terrorism."

Presidents Day: Ranking the Presidents on Israel Policy . . . "As this particular holiday lends itself to ranking the presidents from best to worst, it is worth considering how they compare on relations with Israel, which has been--despite ups and downs--a staunch ally since 1948."

Finally, it’s about time Obama dump the amateur, Josh Ernst and replace him with a major league liar.

Jim Campbell Who would be a "major league liar" to replace this amateur?

[Brian] "Williams has nothing else to do and certainly has the skill set to replace the current B.S. artist."

"Randomness rampant"; random acts of randomness

Thomas Lifson   "A random killer randomly shot and killed one person each at an event celebrating free speech attended by a cartoonist who portrayed Mohammed as a dog, and at a synagogue in Copenhagen. Other 21st Century random shootings and random bombings of random folks by other random folks for totally random reasons at totally random locations. (Source)

"This list does not include random beatings, random rapes, and random vandalism of random folks, random homes and random businesses by other random folks randomly yelling "Allah Akbar.' ". . .

Obama's Own Prayer Breakfast Words Echoed By ISIS In Gruesome Christian Beheadings  Video you can watch without me.
"Western Journalism reported on the firestorm that flared up and continues to this day after the president lectured Christians not to get on their “high horse” about Islamic State terrorists burning alive a caged Jordanian pilot because, said Obama, “during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.' ”

Boehner: If Democrats want to shut down Homeland Security over Obama’s amnesty, we won’t stop them

But the MSM will pursue a common narrative - that Republicans are to be blamed. Stories and interviews on every source beside Fox News will pursue this same narrative. I can visualize Al Sharpton on MSNBC asking a guest he has selected, "Is what Republicans are doing racist?" Of course his guest will reply yes. TD

Hot Air

. . . "Or … is it? There are two ways the GOP can spin a DHS shutdown. One: It’s no big deal. Only certain nonessential personnel in a single department will be affected. The NSA will still be listening to terrorists’ phone calls on February 28th. (If it’s no big deal, though, why use this as the key leverage in your bid to undo Obama’s amnesty?) Two: It’s a big deal and it’s the Democrats’ fault. You should choose the first spin if you think the GOP will be blamed for a shutdown despite its best efforts to the contrary and you should choose the second if you think they have a fighting chance at making Dems take the rap on this one. The risk in choosing the second spin, though, is that you’re conceding that the shutdown is damaging; if, as we all expect, the public leans towards blaming Republicans rather than Democrats for shutting down DHS, the media will gleefully point to all the GOPers who think funding is a very grave matter indeed. Here’s moderate Republican Mark Kirk and Boehner ally Charlie Dent choosing door number two:" . . .

I’m As Serious As An Embolism – I’ve Lost All Respect For Sarah Palin

"Unless she is giving him the finger over his shoulder, this is unacceptable."

Some comm-enters stood up for Palin:

Come on, relax. He’s going to be in way more trouble for this than she is. Let’s watch the left’s hate carnival instead of creating one of our own for the left to enjoy.
Even Breitbart invited the Occupiers to Applebee’s. Showing kindness and tolerance “heaps burning coals on their heads,” as the Bible says.

Well, sort of:

"Just bending over backward to give Sarah the benefit of the doubt, here:
"It sounds like Al Crap-ton was the instigator/pursuer, based on his tweets. Maybe Palin was caught off guard, then had a snap decision to make, deciding to prove that, even after being highly critical of Crap-ton, she has the courage to look him in the eye and be civil, if not even cordial.
"Some people will run in fear and avoid, at all costs, someone they have criticized, because they do not have the courage of their convictions. And if she had gone further, and made a scene by refusing to have her photo taken with him, the liberal media would, of course, have eviscerated her for being a racist hillbilly who can’t rub elbows with the Hollywood elite, blah, blah, blah…
"I dunno. Like I said, I’m bending over backward, for the sake of argument. I find the photo pretty damned disgusting and disappointing.

The Reckoning

Victor Davis Hanson

"Let us start our grand tour of an increasingly out-of-control world in Russia. Putin plays a two-bit Hitler in trying to gobble up his neighbors. The West responds with  a one-bit imitation of 1930s Britain and France. . .

. . .

"Racial relations have hit a new low in the age of “my people,” “punish our enemies,” and a “nation of cowards.” If an African-American entertainer does not win a Grammy, a celebrity rushes the stage to intimidate the winner. If an all African-American Little League team breaks the rules to win a crown, then the enforcement of the rules is deemed racist. If an Israel prime minister speaks to Congress without President Obama’s approval, then he is racist. What can be racism when almost everything is racist?

"Is the new racism something akin to integration and assimilation, racially blind criteria for admissions and employment, a wish to make skin color incidental not essential to our characters, and a desire for legal, measured and ethnically blind immigration?" . . .

Menendez and the Demise of American Liberalism. UPDATE: Part 2 with Guiliani

The Middle East Forum

Those who call themselves liberals have been unable or unwilling to name and recognize the affinities between Islamism in its Sunni and Shia variations and deeply reactionary forms of totalitarianism of the twentieth century. Liberalism, which was historically the home of anti-fascism, has, in its predominant currents, ceded that position to centrists and conservatives. 

. . . "He has led the push for deeper sanctions in the perhaps futile hope that economic pressure would lead the Iranians to turn away from the bomb without the need to resort to force.

Sen. Menendez has command of both broad strategic issues and technical details of the negotiations.

"The senator has done so with tact, deep knowledge of the subject and by holding numerous congressional hearings on the subject. In the process, he has earned the respect of senators in both parties because he is formidably well informed and has command of the broad strategic issues as well as the daunting technical details of the negotiations. It is precisely because the President cannot dismiss him as a member of the political opposition that he has been a thorn in the side of the Administration. Yet Menendez has been swimming against the main current of liberalism in the Obama era, one that finds little or no room for the traditions of liberal anti-fascism that were once one of American liberalism's defining features." .  Full article here.

Raging Rudy Giuliani Destroys Obama’s Policies on Islamism and Iran

Thankfully, Obama’s Dumb Capital Gains Plan Is Going Nowhere

Chris Edwards  "President Obama’s new tax proposals show that he is not interested in bipartisan tax reform. The plan ... outlined in his State of the Union address is anti-growth, anti-savings, and pro-complexity. Left-wing political consultants might like the plan, but not serious tax reformers. Obama himself has called for simplifying the tax code, but his proposals — including the expansion of tax credits — would make the code more complicated.

"Obama’s worst idea is raising the top capital gains tax rate from 24 to 28 percent, which would come on top of his previous increase from 15 percent. Low capital gains tax rates are not some sort of unjustified loophole. We've had reduced rates virtually the entire time we've had an income tax, and for very good reasons. Low capital gains rates are crucially important for spurring entrepreneurship, investment, and growth."

Bill Clinton’s libido threatens to derail Hillary — again

NY Post   "She hasn’t even announced, but the question has already resurfaced: Will Bill Clinton’s baggage derail Hillary Clinton’s presidential hopes?

"Just a few weeks ago, reports broke that Bill Clinton had flown at least 11 times on “The Lolita Express” — a private plane owned by the mysterious financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. According to Virginia Roberts, who claims to have been one of Epstein’s many teenaged sex slaves, Clinton also visited Epstein’s private Caribbean retreat, known as “Orgy Island.”. . .

. . . "Hillary took another hit when Claire McCaskill, the prominent Democratic senator from Missouri, weighed in on Bill’s reputation on “Meet the Press.”

"I think he’s been a great leader,” McCaskill said, “but I don’t want my daughter near him.”

“ 'F—k her,” Hillary said.

"McCaskill endorsed Obama." . . .
