re: #92 funky chicken

I like Mark Sanford in 2012. He’s more socially conservative than I, but not a fire-breather. He is a serious fiscal conservative who has done a great job in South Carolina.

He would be an extremely strong candidate, and could be somebody that social conservatives could support…..unless they remain where they are now and demand a candidate like GW Bush (favorite philosopher Jesus Christ, etc) or Jindal (creationism chic).

Unfortunately, Mark Sanford wants to teach “intelligent design” creationism in public schools.

Newswatch * WIS * TV * January 29, 2006
Host: David Stanton
Guest: Gov. Mark Sanford

DS: What do you think about the idea of teaching alternatives to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution in public schools* for instance Intelligent Design?

Gov. Sanford: I have no problem with it.

DS: Do you think it should be done that way? Rather than just teaching evolution?

Gov. Sanford: Well I think that it’s just, and science is more and more documenting this, is that there are real “chinks” in the armor of evolution being the only way we came about. The idea of there being a, you know, a little mud hole and two mosquitoes get together and the next thing you know you have a human being* is completely at odds with, you know, one of the laws of thermodynamics which is the law of, of … in essence, destruction.

Whether you think about your bedroom and how messy it gets over time or you think about the decay in the building itself over time. Things don’t naturally order themselves towards progression*. Uuummm.. in the natural order of things. So, it’s in fact, it’s against fairly basic laws of physics* and so I would not have a problem in teaching both * Uh, you saying this is one theory and this is another theory.
