Texas Lawmaker says Copernicus is a Jewish Trickster
xerxes @ Sat Feb 17, 2007 12:19 pm
I read this story the other day about this lawmaker in Texas with some rather unconventional ideas.
Namely, that evolution is a myth and that the earth is completely stationary and that everything in the universe revolves the Earth and that its part of a Jewish conspiracy.
Don't believe me? Read the memo he sent to his fellow lawmakers here.
And bear in mind this isn't some rookie congressman. This Texas congressman, Warren Chisum, is the head of the Texas house appropriations committee.
Normally, I'd put this in a non-humorous forum followed by a flippant remark, but apparently this guy is serious so here we are in the humour forum.
Oh, and site he mentions is here:
Fixedearth.com
Here's a preview (take note of all the typos and poor grammar):
$1:
Levitating Globe
"An electromagnet and computerized sensor hidden in its display stand cause the Earth to levitate motionlessly in the air."
Could God have engineered something like that for the real Earth?
The Bible and all real evidence confirms that this is precisely what He did, and indeed:
The Earth is not rotating...nor is it going around the sun.
The universe is not one ten trillionth the size we are told.
Today’s cosmology fulfills an anti-Bible religious plan disguised as "science".
The whole scheme from Copernicanism to Big Bangism is a factless lie.
Those lies have planted the Truth-killing virus of evolutionism
in every aspect of man’s "knowledge" about the Universe, the
Earth, and Himself.
Take your time.
Check it all out.
Decide for yourself.

Oh good GOD in heaven. Elected officials, can you imagine? So then orbit and all the info from the Hubble, the satelites, the moon, the seasons, all an elaborate ruse? WOW, payed for by tax payers. See any idiot can get elected

If the guy had to search through archives to find anything closely related to Darwinism in any religion, then it means that only those with the most knowledge of said religion know of this link and that nearly the whole public doesn't - therefore, banning Evolutionism (or however you spell that) from school would be entirely pointless as the agenda it supposedly furthers is unknown to nearly everybody - how could this make people convert to such an agenda if its existence is nearly unknown?
And the site he took his infos from is obviously just complete bullshit anyway.

There sure are a lot of bizarre people in the South.

Why not just ban learning and just have schools for people to chant and pray all day?

That is some of the funniest shit I've ever read. I then went to fixedearth.com and clicked on some links.
So, how long until the RCMP taps my computer now?

According to gangstalker it's already been done.
Dayseed @ Sun Feb 18, 2007 10:17 am
You'd think that she would be linking to that fixedearth.com site in a BIIIIIG hurry. It's got all of her cranks under one roof! Witches/Warlocks? Check. Government conspiracies? Check. Fuzzy biblical interpretations? Check. Allusions to vaguely defined capital-M Morality? Check. Bad science all around? Check. Nobody there to reign in the stupidity? Double check.
Those two definitely need to be together.

I'm just going to say one thing....
What the hell do they EAT in Texas?
Loonie Politicians are flying out of there like mad screaming weird things.

Here you go lily:
Linky
You've probably seen that one already though. I haven't seen any official looking new stories for this either. This is the sort of thing that's usually too crazy for even a newspaper to print. That being said, the memo and the person are real so....
Oh and Mr. Canada, maybe it's all the read meat.

JEEEEZUS, now we have the Texas Taliban.

Yup it really does say that..........................
And remember, this just ain't one Rep, it's two. The other one from Georgia.
Just wow!
