Libertarians don't vote, they don't mobilize, they don't stuff envelopes, and they don't donate. They can be spoilers. 15K of them in Fla, for instance. You can't make 'tarians happy, because they're spoiled brats who just complain about the terrible imperfection of it all. Taxation is theft, therefore let's try to marginalize Baptists? Sheesh. Losers.

Religious conservates vote, mobilize, stuff envelopes, donate and knock on doors. They are worth far more to the GOP than libertarians. That's why this spin-generating evo machine--try to chip off religious votes by trying to get the GOP to alienate the religious.

This evo-crevo nonsense (and it is nonsense. evo is not remotely important to science) is just an opportunity for libertarians to strut their contempt for the religious under the cover of a faux concern for science. If the evo namby-pambies here were really scientists, they'd be too busy for this obsession.

We find the spare minute here and there in our busy schedules to knock down the distortions, lies and foolishness that keeps popping up on these threads (like a punch-em clown, they keep bobbing back up).
And if the bible-thumpers didn't keep insisting on treating the bible as a science book, we'd have a lot better view of the religion the profess to champion. Where do they find the time? Don't they have jobs?

You continue to repeat this claim. You should know that your continued repetition has made it no less false now than it was the first time you stated it.

I'm not sure I understand your point.

This is what I think you are saying:

(1) Religious conservatives are valuable to the GOP. (2) Religious conservatives are more valuable to the GOP than Libertarians. (3) Libertarians are the ones who are opposed to introducing creationism/ID into public school science classes. (4) Because religious conservatives are more valuable as a voting bloc than Libertarians, the GOP should get behind introducing creationism/ID into public school science classes.

Is that an accurate statement of your position?

Holy Hypocrites, Batman! And you accuse libertarians of whining? All you've done in this discussion is spit childish insults. If you're so bored by evolution, what in Darwin's name are you doing here?

Oh, wait. You're sticking your virtual nose into an arena in which you are woefully incapable of competing: a CRIDer specialty. In order for your claims about the frivolity of evolution to have any merit, you'd actually have to understand evolution, much less science in general. Oh, and then supply evidence of your claim. Get back with me when you've done this.

It would be appropriate for me to use your tactic and categorically insult the demographic to which you belong (an eye for an eye), but that would be unfair to those unfortunate enough to share that distinction with you. Hopefully, they will see the damage your type of, um, "thinking", does to their cause and you will become the marginalized voice you deserve to be.
