Please set aside your brainwashing for one moment and consider your arguments.
The recent research you refer to, in support of spontaneous generation, do not even aspire to any form of viable theories. They are weak hypotheses without any supporting evidence, apart from a sorry explanation that life "magically" springs forth from organic matter. The closest specimen today, resembling the first cell, would be the virus. A non-living organic compound that displays occasional living tendencies. Yet, the fact of the matter is that a virus still requires the working machinery of a living host cell to reproduce. RNA and DNA do not spontaneously reproduce without the appropriate supporting translation molecules or production of Proteins. (1 and 2)
The liberal movement reached the turning point apex in the Sixties. The massive "baby boom" of affluent students in the Universitios simply had too much time and money on their hands and focused their envy and hatred towards the Establishment and traditional moral limits. They took the Declaration of Independence and perverted its meaning from the original intention of the Writers. Absolute freedom and liberty results in chaos. Absolute equality results in Socialism and Egalitarianism. It wasn't just traditional liberalism. Though some admirers of the Sixties prefer to pass over the point, some of the radical core were "red diaper babies," the children of Communist Party Members whose radicalism was passed down in the family. Their efforts in the Great Society effectively failed when they graduated from college. In addition, real human beings do not have any unfulfilled capacity for love, or at least not a large one; they simply do not regard men as infinitely precious, whatever the homilist may say on Sunday; and they lack the boundless energy and selflessness required to will themselves to brotherhood. Any program for society based on such vapors is headed for disaster. The real ideals, perceptions, and interests of humans differ and conflict, and always will. The resulting conclusion was an attack on moral superstructure. Unfortunately, in the larger picture, they simply moved into the cultural leadership positions. The media, politics, the arts, and hollywood were invaded and taken over from the inside by people who truly believe in nothing. The credibility and merits of traditional moral institutions, such as the universities, the churches, the communities, have been continuously and ferociously hacked away at with liberty and equality as the battlecry. The continual rhetoric crys for action against "injustice."
Reward based on achievement in our free markets, are continually attacked by our "Progressive" tax system. At the time of Clinton, A family with an income of $500,000 paid $154,000 in taxes, while a family with an income of $45,000 pays $3,800. With eleven times the income, the richer family pays 40(!) times the taxes. The agenda of the liberals in the part of economic equality amounts to envy. Its not a concern for the less affluent, but simply the desire to take earned and rewarded wealth. In our culture, the "in thing" is dictated by the cultural elite, much to the dismay of the majority of America. This disregard for the conservative Bible Belt was quite apparant in the re-election of President Bush. Unfortunately for the Liberals, they had the minority. (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
Socialism is a failure. Our country was designed for limited Government. We need to return to our roots. The cry of the atheist liberal is joke. You cannot deny our county was founded in Christian beliefs. The liberal support of evolution is a weak minority attack against moral superstructure!

Subject: Take down the bird feeder!
"I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table, everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be.... quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see.
Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to "press one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder."
Restore the Republic!!!
