Texas. IQ level? Hmmmm… (I wonder how this 23% number would hold up nationwide?)

This just HAS to be posted.

You may have noticed that I have been pushing an evolutionary meme recently regarding the election and the general state of America on all levels.

Long story short?

Scientists are beginning to think that “evolution” is not so much a gradual process but rather one that conforms more to the quantum leap concept. The idea seems to be that environmental stresses tend to produce rapid changes. (See Origins: A General Mechanism of Evolution Based on Stress Protein Concentration and Rapid Environmental Change for more on this idea.)

Society and culture ARE environment.

This election is the first time that the new…species for want of a better word…has shown some sort of majority status here in the U.S.

But the old guys are still here.

In spades.

Bet on it.

From a University of Texas poll:

Poll finds 23% of Texans think Obama is Muslim

UT poll shows McCain, Cornyn with comfortable margins
Poll finds 23% of Texans think Obama is Muslim

WASHINGTON — A University of Texas poll to be released today shows Republican presidential candidate John McCain and GOP Sen. John Cornyn leading by comfortable margins in Texas, as expected. But the statewide survey of 550 registered voters has one very surprising finding: 23 percent of Texans are convinced that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Obama is a Christian who was embroiled in a controversy earlier this year about his two-decade membership in Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Yet just 45 percent of those polled identified the Illinois senator as a Protestant.

The Obama-is-a-Muslim confusion is caused by fallacious Internet rumors and radio talk-show gossip. McCain went so far at one of his town hall meetings to grab a microphone from a woman who claimed that Obama was an Arab.

The telephone poll was conducted by the Texas Politics Project and Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin. The poll was conducted from Oct. 15 to 22, and had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.

Hmmmm…

Evolution marches on.

But the left-behinds still own rifles.

Hmmmm….

And maybe control a number of WMDs as well.

Hmmmm….

Let us pray.

Ohmmmmmmm…
