'League Of The South' Leader: Promoting Evolution Is 'An Act Of Disloyalty To America'

By David March 20, 2014 3:30 pm - Comments

Michael Peroutka, a Maryland-based lawyer who was the Constitution Party's candidate for president in 2004, says that Americans cannot believe in evolution if they truly love their country.

In 2011 video uncovered by Right Wing Watch on Thursday, the co-founder of the Institute on the Constitution asserts that "evolutionary thinking is dangerous and anti-American."

"American political philosophy is based on the belief that the world was created by God in six days, and that this creation event occurred about 6,000 years ago," he explains, adding that news reports describing the Earth as millions of years old were either ignorant or "anti-American."
