I believe there are high office Democrats who believe the same way,, but they'll probably never be asked about it. I don't. Anybody who believes evolution is a hoax would be laughed out of the Democratic Party, and rightly so. And not answering the question would probably result in the same. It wouldn't surprise me if that insane idea has been "test marketed" to the Republican base. IMO, they are insane. Even the nominal Republicans here are defending Walker with bull**** about "test marketing." Gallup says 38% of democrats believe in creation. Do you really think they want to lose 38% of the blue vote? They are going to hedge on a direct question in the places where that 38"% votes The Dems who believe in creationism ain't gonna vote for one of the crazy GOPers. In those places there is not usually that much difference between the Ds and the Rs. You call everyone there ignorant rednecks. I just saw you trashing Kansas a minute ago. I guess it started sucking right after you left and now Maryland is a paradise. I bet when you were in New Haven, Maryland was a wasteland. It seems to be a pattern with you. The point you seem to miss is that not all democrats are erudite urban and suburban intellectuals like you and BAO. A large part of your party are minorities with close connections to the southern baptists and the pope with minimal educations. 1. I do not call "everyone there" ignorant rednecks. just the voting majority. The reality is that I've never referred to Kansans as ignorant rednecks. 2. Kansas used to be a moderately conservative state politically, in the days when Republican officeholders were reasonable and rational. The Taliban wing of the GOP has taken over Kansas. That began to happen during the Reagan Administration, according to my Kansas friends. I was long gone from Kansas by then. Was there a huge influx of people? I don't know. When I was out there, Kansans were lamenting a "brain drain": the majority of their best college students was leaving the state after graduation because of a serious lack of college grad level jobs and opportunities outside of the Kansas City, Missouri, area. Wichita had aerospace but it was known as an area with some really crazy people, at least really crazy people in the minds of many university grads. 3. I've never claimed Maryland was "paradise." I don't have any issues with the state, other than the minor **** everyone has with how the state is run. 4. When I lived in New Haven, I never really gave a thought to Maryland. I had no reason to do so. Not even worthy of your thoughts huh? Why would a kid growing up in New Haven and history and culturally rich New England be thinking about Maryland? We did think some about Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, et cetera, because that's where black people were denied education and rights, and were beaten and sometimes lynched. When it comes to race relations, Maryland is a leader of the pack, eh? http://tinyurl.com/d4ee4vv "A national report by the same organization found that Maryland was the sixth-most-segregated state in the country for black students." I suppose you included Maryland in the 'et cetera', eh? Perhaps you should spend a bit of time looking in your own back yard. John, you've just given another reason why I don't pay much attention to you or your cites. My comment was about my inattention to Maryland in the late 1950s and early 1960s, when I was growing up in Connecticut. Your cite was from a 2013 newspaper article about contemporaneous Maryland. Further, I didn't state, claim or allude to any sort of perfection in race relations in Maryland. During my coming of age in Connecticut, the newspapers and TV news were full of racism and beatings and lynching of blacks in the south. I don't recall any news of those sorts of events taking place in Maryland. Hattie Carroll wasn't killed until the year after I left New Haven and became only an infrequent visitor. You and several others on your side of the fence would have benefited from a few liberal arts courses in thinking and in discourse. You might have learned how to debate and discuss without changing the subject or wandering all over the known galaxy. Greg, of course, is as bad at this as you are. You think Maryland's gotten *worse* since the 60's? Look in your own back yard, Krause. -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. |
