A fire mist and a planet,
A crystal and a cell
A jelly fish and a saurian,
and caves where the cave men dwell;
Then a sense of law and beauty
and a face turned from the clod
Some call it Evolution
and others call it God.

Suppoet for creationism does not make one a lunatic
it means that perhaps one is seeing something your not seeing.
Something perhaps that poets and other lunatics see.
Something called intelligent design!

raving lunacy is the purview of the right, though – as evidenced by tea parties, shouting-matches at public forums, belief that Barack Obama is the antiChrist, lack of acceptance of the theory of evolution, support for creationism, etc., etc.

Not spelt like our great president, but a great Christian name.l GO FOR IT you people who look for Limbaugh like ways to destroy a good man. Check it out. Barak is in the Bible, with God's blessing...how come you never tell anyone that? Ofcourse not, as you have too much hatred in your hearts to think beyond your fears and rage. Christian name folks.

Bachman is certainly a wingnut. She is often the mouthpiece for the wackiest fever dreams from the right wing crazies. On the other hand, McKinney is just frack'n nuts. Her statements usually don't reflect the nuts on the radical left.
