'League Of The South' Leader: Promoting Evolution Is 'An Act Of Disloyalty To America'

By David March 20, 2014 3:30 pm - Comments

Michael Peroutka, a Maryland-based lawyer who was the Constitution Party's candidate for president in 2004, says that Americans cannot believe in evolution if they truly love their country.

In 2011 video uncovered by Right Wing Watch on Thursday, the co-founder of the Institute on the Constitution asserts that "evolutionary thinking is dangerous and anti-American."

"American political philosophy is based on the belief that the world was created by God in six days, and that this creation event occurred about 6,000 years ago," he explains, adding that news reports describing the Earth as millions of years old were either ignorant or "anti-American."

8. Yeah, it's the "far right of the GOP and the teabaggers are too moderate for me" crowd.

I like how fully 1/5th of their "key issues" page is the spooky UN "Agenda 21" ... Real purity-of-essence shit.

5. great quote!

Some of these Germans were SO farsighted. Like Heinrich Heine saying in 1834, 99 years before Hitler rose to power that Germany would start a war that would make the French Revolution look like a picnic. Or in 1821 in a play, "Where first they burn books, eventually they burn people."

I don't know German except what little I know through my decades of studying music, so I have to read this in translation but it's still amazing.

7. I don't know from patriotic, to me the word "evolution" sounds dirty.

Like a sex swing or something.

But what they're saying, "Evolution is unpatriotic" yeah, that's pretty funny.

10. Something like the apocryphal

RW Fundie Southern politician who railed against the local State University to his followers, telling them that "Did you know that, at that place of perdition, boys and girls actually share the same curriculum? Not only that but did you that they are also forced to matriculate together?".

9. Guess that means stupidity is patriotic
