Could this election really give creationists a renewed sense of power? Will we see a rash of creationism-in-science-class referenda in the states in 2006 as a new wedge issue to keep all these brand-new Christian conservative voters coming to the polls next time? And is this something the crevo gang should hash out?

We will indeed be dealing with this. But for now, I'd rather enjoy the election victory. It means that western civilization will be preserved. There are always forces of irrationality working against the modern world, and probably always will be, at a back-burner level of intensity; but Bush was dealing with a world-class problem and had to win so we could survive. We can deal later, probably state by state, with the unfortunate byproduct of a few Luddites feeling like it's springtime for the Dark Ages.

Yes; it DOES have a certain ring to it - almost as good as VRWC, I think.

Let's see..........

So far, in THIS thread, I'm a Luddite, gang-member, irrational, and, a moral zealot.

They KNOW that they are right: "Why don't those foolish Conservatives see the Light??"
