Adventures In Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc

  • 10 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Huffington Post quotes from a commencement speech this month by freshman Rep. Kevin Kramer, (R-ND).

Forty years ago, the United States Supreme Court sanctioned abortion on demand. And we wonder why our culture sees school shootings so often.

And if that wasn't enough for you,

Cramer also mentioned the 9/11 and Boston Marathon attacks, saying, "Innocent people in New York have airplanes flown into their places of work, and marathoners in Boston are victims of bombs, yet Christianity is singled out as bigotry in our public institutions because politicians and academics lack the courage to speak truth. We've normalized perversion and perverted God's natural law to the point where the only thing not tolerated anymore is a stand for truth."

We're thinking this is about…Al Qaeda and the gays? That might not seem any more connected than abortion and school shootings to you at first, but the solution to that is–obviously–to pray harder.

Also filed under "At Least They're Not Your Legislator."

    1. Holy Crap!  You must be right.  I mean, why else would the the national press point out the ridiculous, illogical remarks of a no-nothing ND Republican legislator, but to take a cheap shot at rightwing religious nuts?

      Your sharp political instincts certainly explain why the Colorado GOP is in the driver's seat in this state 🙂

    2. So now you're saying the connections this guy is making are valid?  Do you  agree with him that his flavor Christianity, but not other religions, and morality are the same thing and hope, as he appears to and even though the Constitution forbids it, that our government  will start behaving as a de facto officially Christian one?  Never mind. It's always clear that you don't think. Period.

  1. It should be noted that Kramer's commencement address was given at the University of Mary, a Catholic university. Preaching to the choir, such as it is.
