Rep. John Shimkus on global warming: “The earth will end only when God declares it’s time to be over; Man will not destroy this earth. This earth will not be destroyed by a flood.”
It scares me to think about what went on in the days before youtube when politicians didn’t have to worry about us seeing their forays into moronism. This is a clear case of fundamentalist religion trumping logic, or fundamentalist religion creating stupidity. Shimkus has an engineering degree from West Point, but people often turn off their brains when that opiate of the people comes into play. To think that people criticized Clinton for smoking pot! Seriously, which drug kills brain cells faster? Bush may be gone, but the fundamentalist religious movement is still alive and kicking in the U.S. Congress.
