Pragmatism Over Partisanship, Ideas Over Ideology

I guess Bloomberg doesn’t care much about courting the Nitwit Vote:

“… it’s probably because of our bad educational system, but the percentage of people that believe in Creationalism [sic] is really scary for a country that’s going to have to compete in the world where science and medicine require a better understanding,”

Remain short the USD.

    Nitwits maybe not, but he is pushing hard for the man-made Global Warming retards: http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0426/p08s01-comv.html

    i so wish he would run and win. i loved him as mayor of nyc (he’s taken very few missteps), and was pleasantly surprised that he received such a high % of popular approval. i figured it would take years til he got recognized.

    he tries to help the poor, and doesn’t screw over the richest who play by the rules (probably) because that’s how he ran his business.

    considering the poor quality of sellouts running for president, he’d stand out like a green thumb.

    Amazing that a country like the US has regressed to the point of discussing creationism vs evolution. The US is also a theocracy in the making not unlike their sworn Islamist enemies. Progressive voices have been silenced, since by definition they are not organized into flocks of sheep like their God fearing counterparts. What a shame, the US had so much potential - 100 years ago.

    Alot could be read into Bloomberg’s statement…he will never be elected president..Americans are a people of strong faith, generosity and love…science and money gathering skills count, but not as much as the true American character…watch and you will see…

    Carlos: Evolution by way of natural selection is just as much a fantasy as strict Creationism and the Garden of Eden. There’s not a shread of evidence showing how natural selection led to the creation of any new species. What’s amazing really is the scientific community and their religious like faith in a theory with no fact to back it up. Whatever brought us, as creations, to this point on this Earth, is far more than Darwin’s natural selection.
