Build on the resentment that libertarians (cultural liberals) feel when they realize they have to share a table with unfamiliars like conservative Christians--throw around the "theocrat" libel and "know nothing" ( appeal to intellectual snobbery/vanity). There's nothing that scares an "educated" libertarian more than being thought stupid or unsophisticated.
Try to make Republican pols disavow, shun or otherwise betray religious conservatives (make Santorum a target?) so that a few religious conservatives stay home instead of vote.
All it takes is a few, after all.
There you go--Democratic majority in the Senate. And all they had to do was call a few Christians a few bad names.
I'd be willing to bet that George Soros might even front a little money for such a project.
Not all conservative Christians are creationists. Worldwide, most are smart enough to realize that there is no necessary conflict between Darwinian evolution and the Fatih. It's only in America where they've been hoodwinked into believing that their faith compels them to reject reason.
And you don't have to be a libertarian to value sound science. I'd venture to say many, if not most pro-evolution freepers would reject the libertarian label.
Sorry. GOP != Creationists. Plenty of republicans still believe in things like physical evidence, sound rational thinking, analysis and deduction. Good old-fashioned conservative things like that...
"There's nothing that scares an "educated" libertarian more than being thought stupid or unsophisticated."
What Eve was made to feel like when she hesitated in taking
the Forbidden fruit..."For God knows that when you eat of it, you shall be wise, like the gods knowing good from evil"
The same old tricks are being used today to separate other wise good people from their Godly heritage and personal integrity as was what was used on Eve and Adam in Eden and human kind has lived "east of Eden" ever since.
East of Eden...where one finds the gates of Hell!
It's not the left that's attacking science. It's troglodyte "conservative" school board members in Dover Pa, and their close relatives in Kansas.
The "left" isn't doing anything but laughing at a small subset of conservatives who are so wound up in their religion that they're willing to torpedo the very political organization that can actually do a few things they want (like oppose abortion, etc.).
These people are the same kind of idiots as the "gay marrage" idiots in the Dem party. Willing to torpedo their political power over a silly issue of no real importance.
