Well, at least we know which verion of Genesis she thinks is correct. Still, anyone who thinks uranium is 'safe' is either a poorly educated whacko, or a talking puppet of the mining company looking to screw Arizonians over.

Conservatives should be first in line to criticize this kind of intellectual laziness among other conservatives.


But then that would mean that calculated partisan loyalty is wrong, especially when one's party has been hijacked by idiot christians? Like, OMG.

I'm proud to be an American (no, Im not breaking into song), but it saddens me to know that it's these kinds of people that are leading our country. *cry*
