At the event he is standing in front of a pagan display of scores of sacrificial deer heads. One of the comments in the link says this poopyhead's voters are all within the 5-10 yrs range of dying off and that their kids aren't this mind-blighted.

[font size=5]Rep. Paul Broun, High Ranking Member of the House Committee on Science: Evolution, Big Bang Theory ‘Lies Straight from the Pit of Hell’[/font]

Neetzan Zimmerman


Dr. Paul Broun, a Republican congressman representing Georgia's 10th district and chairman of the powerful United States House Science Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight, made headlines in 2009 for his failed attempt to proclaim 2010 "The Year of the Bible."

Testifying recently before Liberty Baptist Church congregants at the 2012 Sportsman's Banquet, Broun, who is a medical doctor by trade, made it clear just how significant a role the bible plays in his everyday decision-making. ....

Broun, who, again, is a top ranking member of the United States House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, tells the crowd the bible has done much more than teach him how live a good Christian life — its opened his eyes to the reality obscured by such things as empirical data and scientific consensus.

He once "believed" in things like evolution, the Big Bang theory, and embryology, but no more: Now he knows those things are "lies straight from the pit of Hell." ....

That the House Committee on Science seats a hardcore biblical literalist should come as no surprise, considering [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]another prominent member of the committee is Rep. Todd "Magical Vagina" Akin[/FONT], but that hardly makes it right.

1. Congress does not require its members actually to know or understand

anything about the subject matter of their committees. Membership is based mainly on seniority. This is one reason why Congress is so hideously fucked up. (Also: Michelle Bachmann is on the Intelligence Committee.)

2. the only 'pit of hell' is his mind

[Zoeisright]

3. These fucking fools need to give up EVERYTHING science has given them.

That means no house, no sewer system, no antibiotics, no medical care, no cars, no flying, no clothes, no lights, no internet, no television or radio, and on and on and on. And just to show what a complete fucking idiot he is, there is no "belief" in science. You either understand it or you don't.

5. And churches need to PAY TAXES. Ministers preaching politics from the pulpit, ads on media. n/t

6. This is painful to listen to.

Does this man, do these people, realize that it's 2012, not 1012? What the hell is wrong with these folks, and how do they manage to stay this pig-ignorant?
