If you
- hate slavery
- favor access to birth control and
- accept evolution and the “Big Bang” theory
then you might have second-thoughts about joining the Republican Party.
Consider the following:
ON SLAVERY:
Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, says in a new book that slavery was “a blessing” for African-Americans.
In Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative, Hubbard writes:
“The institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.”
No doubt that must now give huge comfort to all those generations of blacks who endured 300 years of bondage, usually under the most brutal conditions.
Oh, I forgot. All those millions of former slaves are now dead.
No doubt Hubbard forgot, too, when he wrote that.
ON BIRTH CONTROL:
On August 1, Congressman Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) compared the requirement that private insurance plans provide contraception coverage to two of the most devastating attacks on American soil.

“I know in your mind, you can think of the times America was attacked,” he said at a press conference on Capitol Hill.
“One is Dec. 7, that’s Pearl Harbor Day. The other is Sept. 11, and that’s the day the terrorists attacked. I want you to remember Aug. 1, 2012, the attack on our religious freedom. That is a day that will live in infamy, along with those other dates.”
August 1 marked the first day private insurers must include birth control coverage in their plans without charging a co-pay, as required by the Affordable Care Act.
Thus, the right of even poor women to obtain affordable contraceptive coverage is now on a moral par with sneak attacks that massacred thousands of innocent men and women.
ON EVOLUTION AND THE BIG BANG THEORY:
On September 27, Congressman Paul Broun (R-Ga.) gave a speech at the 2012 Sportsman’s Banquet at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell, Georgia.

In this, he said that evolution and the big bang theory were “lies straight from the pit of Hell.”
“God’s word is true. I’ve come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the big bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell.
“It’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”
Broun, who is actually earned a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1971 from the Medical College of Georgia, continued:
“You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I’ve found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don’t believe that the earth’s but about 9,000 years old.
“I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That’s what the Bible says.”
Referring to the Bible as “the manufacturer’s handbook,” he said:
“It teaches us how to run our lives individually, how to run our families, how to run our churches. But it teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in society.
To add unintentional humor to the situation, Broun is a high-ranking member of the House Science Committee.
Thus, a man who
- rejects science
- embraces primitive-era theology as a substitute for rational thinking and
- believes in devils and a savior as actual beings and Hell as an actual place
now commands power to shape scientific inquiry for the United States Government.
Americans quickly condemn and ridicule tyrants like Adolf Hitler and religious fanatics such as Osama bin Laden as psychopathic oddities–whose like could never appear in the United States.
In fact, American history is littered with political tyrants and religious fanatics.
It’s long past time for Americans to study that history–with its would-be tyrants like Richard Nixon, Huey Long, Joseph McCarthy, Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney.
And its religious fanatics like Charles Coughlin, Jimmy Swaggart, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and Donald Wildmon.
And it’s long past time for Americans–who pride themselves on being a deeply religious people–to remember that warning from Jesus in Matthew 7:5:
“You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
