If evolution is for real and there is no creative intelligence (God) directing it, please explain to me how the huge array of flying creatures, both birds and bugs, came to be. Could it really be that with no intelligence guiding the evolutionary process, these wings began to slowly develop from tiny little nubs, (that appeared for no reason) over millions of years into the myriad of varieties, each perfectly suited to each creatures lifestyle ??? Take for instance the non-aerodynamic bumblebee that we cannot figure out how it is able to fly with its body size & weight ratio. Or the hummingbird that can stay stationary or even fly backwards and whose wings flap at the rate of 600 beats per seconds & how about that Eagle who flies for hours so high you can't even see them, without the need to it's wings.
How could & why would these earlier flap even undeveloped appendages continue to develop and refine themselves over a period of millions of years without any intelligent design ?????????????. Your thinking and that of the atheist evolutionists is totally ludicrous and obvious Bull Shit. Is it not totally obvious to you that wings
Can Not be slowly developing from purposeless & useless appendages into multitudes of aerodynamically perfected designs for each over long periods of time
without intelligent design ??? (For you Libtards, that means without God) This one question is a really big deal, because when godless evolution is disproven,
so also is any assumption of the correctness or validity of leftism.
And here's a little something for you God deniers, that uses science to give absolute positive proof of God's existence & of
His creation by way of it's astounding complexity, specialization & interdependence:

The first and most important sign of intelligence is the ability to carefully and skeptically question ones own opinions, assumptions, beliefs, information and emotions. Without this ability, we are dumb, stupid, and ignorant. With this ability we have the basic foundation for intelligence and without it, no amount of attempted self education and formal education will make a person intelligent.
Both liberals and conservatives can lack this ability and be dumb, Ignorant, or stupid.
If reading this causes you to feel anger or rage and want to attack, it is a clear indication you lack this ability.
The first step in acquiring this ability is to be able to admit you lack this ability and your anger reading this is the most accurate indicator of your lack of this ability.
What did you feel when reading this? Did you quit reading it because of your anger? Do you have any questions about this or do you want to avoid, ignore, deflect the issue?

Brains are like gas cans. Some people have 5 gallon cans and others have 1 gallon cans. Statistically, I have a 4.5 gallon can. I probably have not filled my can with high test, or probably even filled it to the top.
One thing my can does is give me a certain amount of empathy for the 1 gallon cans. It also made me an atheist. Why did I get lucky enoughto get a 4.5 gallon can, and others got a 1 gallon can? The answer? Random atoms. Why would a loving god screw some people so badly, or kill babies, or allow wars, or floods, or disease. Again, the answer? He doesn't. This ineffectual god is not worthy of my belief.

My point still is drop the word "marriage " for all.
Problem solved.
Including (especially) in the tax code. It's another of those areas where government intrusion has made matters worse. Marriage should be a matter of contract and/or religion.
Please note the quote is from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. not Sr.. Not often has a man done so little with so much.
All in all, the Kennedys are a horrid group of people, going back generations. Gangsters, drunks, murderers rapists and womanizers. And that is their good side. The bad side shoved socialism and nationalism down our throats with pretty words and bad ideas. The one who became president was the one bringing us closest to a nuclear war. Just horrible people.
Dear Abby,
My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job 14 years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and shoot the bull with his buddies, while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me, and even hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do?
Signed: Clueless
Dear Clueless:
Grow up and dump him. Good grief woman! You don't need him anymore! You're running for President of the United States.
Act like one.
We are unable to convince lying thieves not to be lying thieves. If Mitt Romney had defended his 47% statement, I might have voted for him.

The point is, he didn't make an argument. All he did was call the other person and others of like thought "Right Wing Nuts". I'm sorry you didn't have the wherewithal to understand that.

The rightwing nut media, led by fox and limbah certainly can't be happy in seeing that scoot walker is losing popularity in Wisconsin even before he declares that he wants to be a failure for goper nomination.
Especially bad for the gopers is that Hillary trounces walker in head-to-head polling this early.
Indeed, 2016 is shaping up to be a landslide for the democratic party in the senate and white house.
Quick, ask fox to run another one of their phony polls

That's what you race baiters fail to understand. We on the right REALLY don't care about race. We care whether or not you are a jerk. We care whether or not someone is going to harm us or steal from us. We care that the government passes laws sanctioning legalized theft, including the whole of the social welfare system. We admire people like Colin Powell and Clarence Thomas and Bobby Jindal because of their views, not because they are people of color with our views. Yet the left vilifies these people of accomplishment calling the Uncle Toms and the like.
I'm not going to tell you I have any black friends. I don't. But my interaction with people of other races is almost always pleasant because I treat them with the same respect and dignity proffered to any others I come in contact with.
What an absolute steaming pile of envy that diatribe turned out to be. Is the misunderstanding of wealth so great that anyone could except the premise of this nonsense. Those people with stocks (for instance) are the machine that drives the industries that supply the jobs. They are using their brains and capital to make things. This insane video acts like the wealthy take their enormous paychecks home and sleep on piles of cash fluffed up on the backs of the poor.
What this video is really suggesting is stealing from the rich and giving it to people who didn't earn it, and would most likely squander it anyway. The perfect example is the stupid person who wins the lottery. It's invariably gone in years. Now you want to steal from the people supplying the jobs and give it to people who sit on their porches. Just plain stupid.
Have you, by chance, looked up the percentage of workers on the minimum wage. You don't have to because I'm going to tell you. About 4.3%.
The minimum wage was conceived in racism. It was started to keep less skilled black people from Mississippi from being economically viable as construction workers in New Jersey (do your homework). A minimum wage job is meant to be a STARTER job. If you are still at minimum wage after a year on a job, I recommend you leave that job. If I have to pay someone $10.10 an hour, I am going to look for someone already qualified. I won't look for a young person trying to start out in life. If I could pay what the MARKET will bear, I would be much more receptive to hiring a young black man and paying him what he is WORTH as an employee, not what the government thinks every worthless drifter is worth.
It is with a great deal of consternation and sadness that I have watched the shift in Rand Paul's policies. His dip in the polls shows he chose sides poorly.
