I shouldn't even be posting this, really. I mean, we all know exactly how this thread will proceed. Still, this made the vein on my forehead throb.

If this senator truly exists, he's an idiot, and should be recalled on grounds of incompetence. The Declaration of Independence isn't a law or any kind of governing document It is, at best, a statement of principles. It has no grounds being used to determine what is or is not science.

Senator Hochstatter has the logical abilities of a ham sandwich. Without cheese.
The Declaration of Independence has no legal or binding power whatsoever. Moreover, it is probably the pinnacle of political deistic Enlightenment thinking.
To say that the DOI's statement of a Creator to be ipso-facto self-evidence of that Creator is rather lacking in evidence to say the least. And to call for singular teaching of creation based on the DOI is lunacy.
quote:that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,
Simon, you may now, using principles not repugnant to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, oust Senator Hochstatter from office.

Of course, the fact that someone so mindboggingly stupid is even in a position of power to propose this in the first place allows me to sleep easily at night.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
