Hilarious, point-and-laugh funny! What a Bronze Age douchebag.
John Shimkus, less hilariously, was one of the GOP Congressmen who covered up for Mark Foley's pedophilia with House pages.

Wow. Does that fool get to influence any important decisions???
Also, in line with the relevance of everything he said, the girl over his left shoulder is cute.
Also, is there any actual data RE the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere 80 million years ago? Oh, wait. He did say the age of the dinosaurs and I'm going to hazard a guess he's talking like 6k years ago, not eighty million. But still, any data on the real thing? |

I never heard a clearer demonstration of how rabidly anti-science and scripture-quoting-retarded a NeoCon politician could be. Shimkus has a duty to serve his constituents and nation, and instead just quotes a couple of verses from the Babble and upon that authority wants people to stop worrying about MMGW.
His constituents should tar and feather the bastard upon his return to his district, ride him out of town on a rail, and finally throw him and the rail down an abandoned mine shaft.

Are you kidding? They elected him! And it's not like he tries to smooth over his nuttiness. My guess is they got just what they wanted. I wonder what the schools are like in his district... |

I didn't say they will. His Illinois 19th Congressional District is a very conservative, 94.6% white, southern area.
I said his constituents ought to murder him.

"there is a theological debate that this is a carbon starved planet..."
Surely he didn't mean to say theological. If the planet is carbon starved or not would be a scientific argument, surely.
The clip opens with him stating that he's addressing a panel which includes clergy, so his religious citations are not inappropriate in that context. If his position were based solely on his religious beliefs then I would dismiss him as a kook, but not for making a religiously based argument to a religious audience. |

I think recalling him and tatooing "fool" on his forhead is fair enough. Murder's a little extreme... |

Not when scientific arguments run counter to theological arguments. Poor stupid John is not about to let the facts change a firm belief supported by a literal interpretation of the bible. After all he did mention that the bible was perfect. |
