Bush endorses "Intelligent Design". And I haven't even seen this mentioned
in the broadcast media. This should be a Dem talking point! I just can't stand this embarrassment anymore! No country on earth has as stupid a leader. I am certain of it.


Bush endorses teaching `intelligent design' theory in schools
WASHINGTON - President Bush waded into the debate over evolution and "intelligent design" Monday, saying schools should teach both theories on the creation and complexity of life.


In a wide-ranging question-and-answer session with a small group of reporters, Bush essentially endorsed efforts by Christian conservatives to give intelligent design equal standing with the theory of evolution in the nation's schools.


On other topics, Bush said he has no idea how Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts would vote in a case challenging the legality of abortion because he never asked him about it. He also defended Baltimore Orioles first baseman Rafael Palmeiro, who was suspended Monday for using performance-enhancing steroids.


Bush declined to state his personal views on "intelligent design," the belief that life forms are so complex that their creation can't be explained by Darwinian evolutionary theory alone, but rather points to intentional creation, presumably divine.

1. The anti-science president strikes again
More religious indoctrination for our kids, paid for with our tax dollars. :mad: I don't think * is even remotely familiar with the constitution or the laws of the land.

2. If one is to believe in "intelligent design",
one must ask "what kind of Supreme Being would create an idiot as big as George W. Bush"? This man makes me so damn proud to be an American. :sarcasm:

3. Blessing food replaces Health Dept.
That's about how much sense this makes. I don't know how Democrats can keep up with it all thought. Plame is sliding away already.
