Hat tip to Agamemnon for finding this one. I think this applies just as much to the creation/evolution controversy as it does global warming. All the best—GGG

What one must come to grips with is that this kind of behavior was learned, refined, and perfected first in the context of Darwinism to promote among other things anti-Christianity and leftist social policy.

The battle plan of the elites has been busted in the context of AGW. That same play book must be and I believe will be increasingly exposed in the context of Darwinism, if we remain persistent.

Malthusian Darwinism is what ObamaCare is all about.

Spread the word. Make that association openly and boldly. This legislation is abortion of the unborn and the eugenic extermination of the elderly and infirmed.

For all the blithering idiot Darwinists who show up on FR thinking they are conservatives, I challenge every last one of them to look introspectively and ask themselves whether they haven't been conned by the media and their politically driven "science" falsely-so-called.

This is where the rubber meets the road, folks. Darwinists are as worthless to conservatism as are RINOs. They are as worthless to Christianity and promotion of Christian principles as any Gnostic of old ever was.

There. I said it.

FReegards!

I don’t think it’s really ideological with most of them i.e. with most of the folks claiming to be conservative evolosers. More like it’s about lifestyles, careers, and comfort zones.

More like it’s about lifestyles, careers, and comfort zones.

It is ALL ideological, because FR-posting evolosers have been indoctrinated by the evo-left which draws its intellectual sustinence from priciples and practices which are based in Darwinism.

Evolosers marry their intellectual identities with the world view which proceeds from Darwinism. as well. Evolosers seek the approval and affirmation of the self- elevated evo-left-"intelligensia."

That world view is at odds with true intellectual conservatism.

No evoloser who posts to FR has his or her "lifestyle" or "career" threatened here. They may threaten posters and even the owners of this site and find themselves banned for doing so, but these cowards are their careers and lifestyles as defined apart from conservatism, not on account of conservatism.

These types leach off the blessings of what conservatism and conservative thought engender and contribute nothing of value to movement conservatism themselves.

As far as their comfort zones are concerned, a true conservative would be internally conflicted with any notion of linking Darwinsm and conservative thought, because the world views of each philosophy are completely opposed. One must capitualte to the other.

Read the postings of any evoloser on this board and you'll see quickly which world view and philosophy capitulates to which. It won't be Darwinism that becomes the subordinate philosophy.

The ugliness which invariably proceeds from them is often readily apparent.

I'll call out these "Wizard of OZ monkey"-style thread-infiltrators for what they are every time.

FReegards!

A good reason that science should never be married to atheism or an atheistic worldview. There’s no constraints on what is done with it.
