Apparently Congressional Wingnuts are ORGANIZED.

This was pointed out on Usenet after I mentioned the petition I set up to get Paul "Science is lies from hell" Broun kicked off the Committee for Science, Space, and Technology.

I have nothing against Congressmen being religious -- ON THEIR OWN TIME. But on *MY* time, the separation of Church and State comes hammering down, and when it comes to science, anyone on a committee even vaguely to do with it had best be accepting that science exists and not as "lies from hell".

You *are* aware that this sort of thing is *deliberate? These folks don't believe in separation of church and state and aim to get their way by packing comittees on this sort of thing.

Look at the folks on the Texas textbook selection board, for example. They effectively choose what textbooks for the entire country will say.

You're just noticing this? I've a mother who's been singing the praises of progressively nuttier Congressional wingnuts for three decades now.
