From the, "Here's a quote that encapsulates it all" file...

We're all aware that eight of the nine board members of a Dover, PA, school district were uncermoniously shown the door by the electorate on Tuesday over their advocacy of intelligent design and requirement of its mention / involvement in the curriculum of the local high school.

From an article written by Christina Kaufmann in The York Dispatch, the below quote comes from a school board member who resigned last year over their position and was sought for comment in the wake of Rev. (and who made this man a Rev. to begin with?) Pat Robertson's wack-job comment about God forsaking the people of that community. It's a classic, and sounds frighteningly like something I'd say. Methinks, in fact, I'll write it down somewhere.

Former school board member Jeff Brown, who resigned from the board more than a year ago in protest of his fellow board members' decision to add intelligent design to the science curriculum, said Robertson's comments contradict intelligent design proponents' testimony in federal court.

"According to sworn testimony, intelligent design has nothing to do with God," he said. "Then Pat Robertson says if you don't support it, God will hate you. These clowns want it both ways.

"I have a zero tolerance for sanctimonious morons who try to scare people."
