I look forward every Sunday to Link round-up and how I always find something interesting to read. Keep up the great job.
Luis: Thanks much! Glad you find it of interest.
My favorite post this week: Only 6 percent of scientists identify as Republican, whereas 55 percent identify as Democratic. In October of 2012, 68 Nobel-winning scientists co-signed a strong endorsement of Obama, saying the President “has delivered on his promise to renew our faith in science-based decision making.”
Blurber: Some Republicans want to dig themselves in even deeper.
Thanx for the link read Infidel. I didnt know a thing about these Texas anti abortion pregnancy center's ... maybe I can make a few buck's off this afterall, eh? {: ) I mean, you dont need nothing but a white med smock, a prayer book, and a statue of Mother Mary, a few $1 buck Santeria candles ... and that's it (just kiddin) {: )
Origin of humanity ... oddly, I met this lady back about a month ago and we had some small chat on this (actually she done all the talking, she loves talking about this it seem's) ... but to try to make it short (because she was too detailed and lost me somewhere's) she thinx that space alien's I reckon came down to Earth, and I reckon impregnated or genetically modified existing ape's and/ or neanderthal's or whatever (?) making what we now as the human of today (?) and according to her, this is connected with this "Illuminati" thing, and this "Holy Grail" or whatever, is passed to various nation's or continent's of the globe over the centuries and whoever possesses it end's up as the world leader ... like the Roman's had it at a time and now USA has it or whatever (?) ... anywayz, she is really passionate about this so I heard her out and had a lil enlightenment I later gave her {: ) Anywayz she actually suspected that I was holding back and probably was in contact with alien's before myself, but declining to talk about it or whatever ... I then told her that I DO have contact with alien's, however .... I was talkng about illegal Mexicano immigrant's {: ) ... I then sent her on her way with something to think about for remainder of her life ... I'll leave it there.
No, I never heard of the Russian underground x- ray tapes of music before ... make's me happy I was born and raised here in America {: )
What qualifies as true white race or whatever? ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... yep ... ole Hitler was fascinated with that. I never really gave a shit bout my ancestry too much. But interesting enough for me, was this young lady I know who is a born and raised black American gal from Dallas, who complained to me saying that Obama wasnt really an African American, because he didnt have slave ancestry root's back to America ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... she is cute as Hell though too ... so I put up with it {: ) I could have told her a thing or two about African root's, but left it there {: )
I'm ready for summer ... later Infidel .... {: )
Ranch: Actually there's one more thing needed to run a fake pregnancy center -- a massive lack of ethics.
People who think that aliens modified (or mated with!) earlier hominids to produce modern humans really ought to read up on genetics. The genomes of humans and other ape species have been exhaustively documented and studied. If there was anything there suggesting something beyond normal evolutionary processes, we'd know about it. There isn't.
It's remarkable how often white supremacist discussion threads degenerate into arguments about whether Italians are white or whatever. They've got endless wacky theories and can never agree.
