Dogged pursuit of ignorance seems more fitting.
Frank Schaeffer, who wrote books the Christian right have on their book
shelves, and videos they use as the basis of their beliefs, refers to
them as "Permanently scared and intentionally ignorant."

I love it that someone responsible for the Christian right refers to
them as intentionally ignorant.

Do you suppose a lot of Frank Schaeffer books have been burned since
he announced this little tidbit? Would that qualify as irony?

The true believers probably don't realize he thinks they are fools.
I'll bet his books and tapes still sell well in Christian book stores.

What a strange place to live. Selling drivel to people you consider
fools. That's some seriously cynical business.

An increasing number of experts feel the North Pole will be ice free
in summer by 2030 at the latest, for the first time in a million
years.

From your cut'n'paste, Loogy.

Now, what caused the global warming a million years ago that left the
North Pole ice free? Perhaps you could explain how the industrial
revolution and cow **** caused it? Huh?

Or you could just pretend you didn't see this post.

I don't know nor is it relevent to this discussion. Here's a fact.
Now, in 2009, we have the scientific means to analyze how and why
there is global warming. I've not read one single scientific paper
that has said that CO2 emmisions are the single and only way global
warming can occur. And I certainly never said such either. BUT, again,
today in 2009, you can CLEARLY see an almost exact correlation between
CO2 in the atmosphere and the trending of the earth's temperature. If
the only argument you have is that global warming also happened a
million years ago, you ain't got much, brother....!

If not relevant, why was it in the article you posted?

Quit changing the subject. Answer the question.

Perhaps it's a cycle?

Did you see Bush Sr.'s quote:

Bush senior, to President Mikhail Gorbachev:

"Reagan is a conservative. An extreme conservative. All the blockheads
and dummies are for him, and when he says that something is necessary,
they trust him. But if some Democrat had proposed what Reagan did, with
you, they might not have trusted him."

So it's not unknown for the powers at the top to speak of the people
their tactics bring to them as "blockheads and dummies," which is how
the people on the opposite side refer to them.

Nice to see there is agreement. The ones who use them should be
ashamed. Those who allow themselves to be used deserve it, I guess.

Kind of like taking advantage of the mentally challenged.

I'll also bet that you have never written a thesis.

In terms of current posters, loogy's stupidity is only equaled or exceed
