Sad: Lefty Mom Uses Child To Ambush Rick Perry, “Ask Him Why He Doesn’t Believe In Science”…
Douche.
Via Politico:
An ABC camera catches a well-coached child asking Rick Perry how old the earth is.
This is a trap: His mother, who can be heard on camera coaching him, is obviously hoping he’ll cite some specific, Biblical figure. Instead, Perry gives what sounds like a secular answer, with no reference to biblical certainty:
“I don’t have any idea. I know it’s pretty old. It goes back a long long way,” Perry says. “I’m not sure anybody knows completely and absolutely. . . .”
The kid’s next question is on evolution:
“It’s a theory that is out there and it’s got some gaps in it. In Texas we teach both creationism and evolution in the public schools,” he said.
The mother can then be heard saying, “Ask him why he doesn’t believe in science,” but at this point Perry has figured it out and moves on.

with interactions like this, the kid may be able to avoid growing up to be an idiot like his mother
Sorry to say, this is a preview of questions he will be constantly axed by the mfm.
The woman behind the kid might as well brought a Charlie McCarthy doll to ask questions.
First, “believe in science” is a religious question.
Second, evolution isn’t a theory. Sorry, it isn’t. It’s a paradigm, a language but there’s no there there. There are no Darwin’s Equations. You cannot predict which species can survive and which can’t. Can’t be done. At best, you predict the past.
Third, even physics, the most “know what the hell they’re doing” science, doesn’t know what the hell they’re doing. The basic theories are always changing.
Fourth, Piltdown Man.
Pilt. Down. Man.
Brave little mother, unable to ask the governor herself,outside of that what the heck does it all have to do with America’s current problems.
The mother needs her behind paddled.
Teach him about honor and truth, not your political motives. Just awful display of using a child.
”Ask him why he doesn’t believe in science”

Unless you are a proponent of theory of ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’, Science doesn’t require faith.
You cannot compare a subjective idea to an objective idea. The context is different.
.
Dear lefties,
What is the empirical justification for “the greater good”? By what objective standard to you classify things as ‘good’ and as ‘evil’?
.
So, he’s an old-earther?
Science is a religion.
It has its own gods; scientists.
It has its own creation myth; evolution.
It has its own way of “explaining” the unexplainable; scientific theory.
It even has its own afterlife model; the continuation of an individual through genetic material passed on.
If you really think about it, what that woman is saying to Perry is, “Don’t believe in your religion. You must believe in my religion!” Typical leftist thinking….. I am open minded and diverse as long as you believe in exactly what I believe in.
They are so afraid of Perry—love it
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but right and wrong (not to be confused with legal and illegal) is determined by the elite central planners.
The kid should thank his stars that his moonbat moms didn’t abort it.
Science said asbestos was great and the gov’t forced builders to install in buildings. Then it was found to be bad and the gov’t punished everyone who used it, allowed for lawsuits and it costs a great deal to take it out.
Science is constantly saying what foods are good, then they are bad and so forth. Science is not exact, if it were exact it would not change which it has and continues to do – honest science allows for re-testing and re-thinking and re-questioning – otherwise it is just dogma. At one time the atom was the smallest building block of matter but not anymore. So how can you believe in theories as absolutes? Climate change more than likely is caused by the sun and the change in the earth’s magnetic field allowing for more sun rays to enter (which the MSM ignore) and could cause massive flooding and so forth. Even a pole shift. This is far more likely than the ponzi scheme of making money off of punishing those who use carbon based fuels.
That kid suffered abuse in my opinion. Mom is a douche kid.
Trite liberals make me want to laugh and vomit at the same time. Maybe she should give Maxine Waters a call.
Have I seen this kid posting somewhere on the Web?
Child Abuse.
Science militates against evolution. Argue you all you want, evolution is impossible. Don’t believe that? Study “systems integration” – in ANY field, then get back to me.
Always funny to me that the same people who shout “science” to “prove” evolution are the same dolts that claim global warming is real.
Libs are retarded. Doesn’t matter what you say to them or what the facts say to them – they believe what they want to believe, usually justified by how they “feel” rather than what they “think”. The fact that most libs don’t actually think is beside the point.
Major child abuse.
Wow Perry handled that perfectly! Well done sir.
I especially like the part when the mom keeps badgering the kid to ask about evolution Perry says
” I hear your mom is asking about evolution” hehehe , nice move Perry.
What a douche this lady is.
How twisted does your political ideology have to be for you to exploit your own child in an attempt to embarrass and discredit someone who may not agree with you? I think we all know that answer to this.
I SO would have replied “I do, ask your mom what her thoughts on Cosmology are”
and waited for a reply about how to get her hair and nails done. (Cosmetology)
“Science is a religion.”
————-
I don’t believe that what the left practices is Science……no matter how much they claim it is. The scientific method requires that all result be reproducible by a third party.
Progressivism doesn’t qualify. ‘Hope and Change’ cannot be measured. The “greater good” principle of the left is far more oppressive than any evangelical could ever hope to be.
The left is a cult-like following of a speculative idea. It isn’t based on documentable results. Instead, everything is based on the subjective FEELINGS of the people involved.
The left is committing the very “crime” it accuses the right of. From “immoral profits” to the “greater good”, Progressive government is mandating a ‘spiritual’ standard on it’s people………in violation of the First Amendment!

“I have no faith in Science.”

He should have given condolences to the kids father
Pat-good one-reminds me of the guy at one of those whack job gatherings last year with the “Obama is a Keynesian” sign and all the dolts he ran into
Evolution isn’t even a real word. It means nothing. Inventions dont evolve, transportation and communications dont evolve, the sun and moon are NOT evolving. Art and music do not evolve. No chemical elements surge upward; all radioactive material disintegrates. People grow, develop, mature and decay; none of them evolve. The universe is not integrating it is exploding outward. Like I said, evolution isn’t even a word, let alone a theory. It is a term invented by the pagan imagination of a depraved sinner to describe his religious faith in HIMSELF. Evolution occurs nowhere, at any time, in anything and never has. This religious fanaticism is baseless and groundless in fact and reality.
She should put her hair in a pony-tail……
“Ask your mom why she doesn’t believe in asking her own questions.”
Juan Epstein says:
She should put her hair in a pony-tail……
. . . because she’s a horse’s ass.
And this same dumb down kid thinks SUV owners and drivers are ruining the planet but limosuine liberals like AL GORE,LUARIE DAVID, and JOHN TRAVOLTA are saving it PATHETIC IGNORANT LITTLE LIBERAL BRAT
The left don’t “believe” in science, either. They believe in scientism.
How come the left isn’t asking him about what he’d do for the economy, or jobs, etc.?
I bet the kid is either home schooled or goes to a private school.
Can’t you see their strategy unfolding?
Ridicule him in the media, talk about his boots, his clothes, his hair…confront him in public in the most despicable ways.
They’re trying to treat him like they did Sarah Palin.
Because it worked.
They will talk about how he ignored a child’s questions. Even though it wasn’t the child with the questions. Mama is too chicken to ask them herself because she can’t hold up her end of the conversation.
Which would devolve into her screaming in order to get the other person to shut up.
Hey lady, the child is your KID, not your puppet. If you really want him to think the correct things, how about nurturing, rather than traumatizing?
This is why I don’t deal with my liberal parents. They did garbage like this. I can’t stomach chicken livered adults.
@Binturong
Nope. Homeschoolers don’t get coached by mommy on what to ask. They already KNOW what they want to ask.
If Perry fell for this, He wouldn’t be qualified to be President.
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, that how it works. Learning from past mistakes
One adult American in five thinks the Sun revolves around the Earth, an idea science had abandoned by the 17th century.
Evolution was proposed in the 18th century
People will still be arguing about evolution in the 25th century,
If Perry fell for this, He wouldn’t be qualified to be President.
Frankly, I couldn’t care less about these sideshows right now.
An extreme leftist, aided by our leftist, ass-kissing media, is trying to bring this country down. They are succeeding at a rapid pace.
We need someone with the stones to stop it. As long as he isn’t a nut, I don’t give a rat’s ass what he thinks about these stupid prog fixations.
/rantoff
Even money this mom is a Code Pinko.
Despicable when parents use their children or hide behind them this way. The kid probably doesn’t even know what evolution is. NOT a homeschooler. In my field, we do a lot of programs with school children. You can immediately tell the difference between the public school, the home schooled, and the private school kids
Scientific method and mathematics are tools..
that is all..
I fully expect to see this mother on Madcow or CurrentTV before the end of September.
Listen up conservatives (and stupid liberals trying to set somebody up):
Science is not a belief system or a thing. It is a method of explaining something based on empirical evidence and testing. It is ongoing and continual process of explaining the natural world. Asking somebody if they believe in science is like asking somebody if they believe in addition.
Also, there is a shit-ton of room science for god. What happened before the Big Bang? Who put the matter there? There is no reason that you can’t believe it was a god and still continue to test whether that is true.
Ask your mother if she believes in science? Ask her if an unborn baby is a human life? Ask her if a woman has the right to kill her own baby?
Yes, well, Trofim Lysenko was a scientist, and a lot of people believed in Lysenkoism, or else:

@Binturong:
What makes you say that? Most homeschooled or private schooled kids I know think such non-sense on global warming (sorry, “climate changes”) is BS. Its the public school kids who can’t tell right from wrong…and I’m a public school teacher.
@Rupaula: True. The explosion of scientific learning in the West was due in large part to the desire of Christian scientists to explore Creation and see how God ordered things. In the Augustinian view, scientific study was an act of worship and devotion, as it revealed the awesomeness of God.
Please don’t employ the d**ch*-word; that’s a Democrat crudity. Remember what your mom taught you and be a good Weasel!
Evilution!
Rupaula: “Science is not a belief system or a thing.”

It’s the difference between Objective and Subjective.
Subjective: is preferences, beliefs, values, biases, attitudes, and opinions……..and it’s just a little bit different for every individual in existence.
Objective: is everything idea which is established as true within a stated context. It the grand scheme of things, very, very few things in life are Objective. Our existence is dominated by someone else forcing their own OPINIONS of something, on us.

*Big Government is a collection of ‘moral’ rules that serve only the beliefs, and interests, of the people in charge. (“We have a moral imperative to pass this health care bill…” – Nancy Pelosi)
It IS a religion.

I don’t care what you believe, Rick. I care about your policy record.
No other theory best explains the fact of species diversity better than evolution, and if you disagree, I dare you to build an ark, fill it with couples of animals, and hope their children aren’t inbred. Then I’ll invite you to a little island off the coast of Croatia where you can witness significant changes in allele frequencies of the native lizard populations in the span of a human life.
You and I probably won’t care, because you will defend American interests regardless of your beliefs. Go get ‘em.
