Life With Gohmert: ‘How Does the Mating of Two Males Evolve the Species Upwards?’

Alleging that the Obama administration was attacking Christianity by threatening to prosecute those who believe that homosexuality is wrong with hate crimes laws, Gohmert wanted to know how “someone who believes in evolution … that throughout the history of the universe, and particularly Earth, that people have come together and born an offspring from different species that has evolved and given us stronger and better species, how does the mating of two males evolve the species upwards?”

As for the idea of Christians being charged with hate crimes for opposing equality, it was ludicrous Gohmert said because “we’re not haters as Christians; we’re lovers”

I hate it when ignorant people try to use the theory of evolution to make a point.

For one thing, there’s nothing about evolution that implies things evolve ‘upwards’.

Ironically, Gohmert himself proves this point.

Only someone like Louie Gohmert would try to connect things that are not related to each other. He likes the sound of his voice, and the nuts that believe him are just as bad as he is when it comes to educating themselves on issues like abortion, evolution, and what being fiscally conservative really means.

Presumably, then, if a heterosexual relationship produces a disabled or otherwise evolutionarily-less-fit offspring, this disproves heterosexual relationships in Gohmerscience.

Or something.

Immigration - Boehner’s albatross.

[Embedded content]

From the linked article:

“Like it or not, the Hispanic media perceives that approving or rejecting immigration reform is in the hands of John Boehner. When you listen to local radio stations and even national media, most of us are concentrated on John Boehner. We don’t even have a problem pronouncing his name.”

That’s from Jorge Ramos, the widely influential anchor for Univision who has been described as the “Walter Cronkite of Hispanic media,” in an interview with me today. Ramos left little doubt that Boehner and fellow House Republicans will get absolutely crucified by the Hispanic media if Republicans fail to support comprehensive reform.

This has been asked and answered many times, from an evolutionary point of view one of the best answers appears to be kin selection:

Past research has shown that the fa’afafine are much more altruistically inclined toward their nieces and nephews than either Samoan women or heterosexual men. They are willing to babysit a lot, tutor their nieces and nephews in art and music, and help out financially-paying for medical care and education and so forth. In a new study, the scientists set out to unravel the psychology of the fa’afafine, to see if their altruism is targeted specifically at kin rather than kids in general.

They recruited a large sample of fa’afafine, and comparable samples of women and heterosexual men. They gave them all a series of questionnaires, measuring their willingness to help their nieces and nephews in various ways-caretaking, gifts, teaching-and also their willingness to do these things for other, unrelated kids. The findings, reported on-line this week in the journal Psychological Science, lend strong support to the kin selection idea. Compared to Samoan women and heterosexual men, the fa’afafine showed a much weaker link between their avuncular - or uncle like - behavior and their altruism toward kids generally. This cognitive dissociation, the scientists argue, allows the fa’afafine to allocate their resources more efficiently and precisely to their kin-and thus enhance their own evolutionary prospects.

In my 65 years I’ve met a lot of good people. I’ve also met a lot of dumb motherfuckers. Maybe it’s just chance, but the place where I was most likely to meet dumb motherfuckers was Texas. Not Luzianne, not Missisip, not Alabama, Texas. Texas was the only place I’ve ever been where underpaid workers bragged about what a cool car their boss drove.

So when you contemplate the shitstain that is Gohmert it would pay you to bear in mind that there are a whole lot of dumb motherfuckers in TX-01 who voted him into office - four times.

The Amazing Gohmert: he has to be seen to be believed:

We could possibly pay in the polls in the short term, but just as you’ve had more and more African Americans realizing ‘Wow, we have one party that’s pandered to us, doled out government benefits, kept us from reaching our god-given potential.’ And you have another, this Republican party, like for example with Hispanics, a Republican party that basically says we want you to learn English. Because we want you not to be a ditch digger because you can’t communicate, we know you are smart enough to be president of this company and to be president of this country if you’re born here.

“Why did you shoot me? I was reading a book”: The new warrior cop is out of control
By Radley Balko - Sunday, Jul 7, 2013
Excerpted from “Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America’s Police Forces” by Radley Balko.

Excerpt:

The most disturbing aspect of the Orlando raids was that police didn’t even attempt to obtain a legal search warrant. They didn’t need to, because they conducted the raids in conjunction with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Despite the guns and handcuffs, under Florida law these were licensure inspections, not criminal searches, so no warrants were necessary.

That such “administrative searches” have become an increasingly common way for police to get around the Fourth Amendment is bad enough. More disturbing is the amount of force they’re opting to use when they do.

As a lifelong fan of cartoons I noticed a long time ago that women always get tied to railroad tracks by dudes with ridiculous mustaches.

I continue to be amazed at the lack of self awareness of those who publicly, and apparently with no real fear for their lives, health, or property, decry the terrible tyrannical U.S.Government.

And they continue to use Teh Twitters and Teh Facebook, with no fear of DHS GeheimsPolizei trampling down their doors at teh 3:00 AMs.

LOOK PRUDENCE IS STILL TWEETING OBAMA IS TEH STAN.

Of course the anti-gay idiocy is an ignorant wingnut thing, not a Christianity in general thing.

A very large number of church leaders are whining about the Gheypocalypse. It’s the stock and trade of fundamentalist preachers, to preach what “God hates”.

Well, in that case, we better not have any Christians in the military, either. Based on an N of 1 - which is apparently the new standard - they don’t seem too clear on the whole Constitution thing.

except Fisher says he is a Man of God.. A preacher of the Good News and Love for mankind. He is a preacher of politics and bigotry to those not like him.
If it wasn’t so pathetic it would be a sad story of his Christian faith.

One of the many reasons that I’ve been a Buddhist since the age of sixteen is that the all knowing, loving god of those whose faith is of the book allows people like Fischer, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, ad nauseum, to get up in front of people and profess to interpret his word.

I’ve read one or two things today that suggest that the Prosecution had a hard row to hoe legally, and did it badly to boot. But really - “learned a good lesson”? He’ll be more responsible now?
