I knew it! Physics has a liberal bias
To many conservatives, almost everything is a secret liberal plot: from fluoride in the water to medicare reimbursements for end-of-life planning with your doctor to efforts to teach evolution in schools. But Conservapedia founder and Eagle Forum University instructor Andy Schlafly -- Phyllis Schlafly's son -- has found one more liberal plot: the theory of relativity.

If you're behind on your physics, the Theory of Relativity was Albert Einstein's formulation in the early 20th century that gave rise to the famous theorum that E=mc2, otherwise stated as energy is equal to mass times the square of the speed of light. Why does Andy Schlafly hate the theory of relativity? We're pretty sure it's because he's decided it doesn't square with the Bible.

1. Schlafly brags on Conservapedia
that he has homeschooled 185 children, all of whom do exceptionally well on standardized tests.

Let me guess, these were test which Schlafly and his home schooled cohorts wrote and administered. These truly will be the children who end up getting "Left Behind."

3. Once upon a time...
it seems that the few morons in society were hit with the "stupid stick", but it now appears as if someone had detonated a stupid bomb.

It just appears as if the level of ignorance has just skyrocketed.

4. The right wing won't be happy till we're back to the Dark Ages
they're already working on this by refusing to fund basic services - paved roads are being torn up and reverted to gravel. libraries cannot fund their services.

Conservatives want everyone else to be as stupid and miserable as they are.

..and repeating it in "credible" places only makes it worse...

Would TPM repeat the roars of the crowd complimenting the naked Emperor on his superb clothing choice?


uh..oh, never mind. Too late for reason and coherency
