A Return to Triangulation (libertarion vs social right)
National Review Online ^ | 10/25/06 | David Boaz & David Kirby

Posted on 10/25/2006 11:10:46 AM PDT by Blackirish

As the Republican base fragments and Christian conservatives consider a “fast” from politics, the polling data point to a mid-term Republican thumping. Less than two weeks from now, Republicans will begin their post-mortem soul searching. And as the corpses of their House and Senate majorities grow cold, so should Karl Rove’s 2006 campaign strategy.

We're a science discussion site, not a religion site. We're a bit more narrowly-focused than FR.

If they can drive the religious conservatives from the Republican party, it's all over and that's what it seems like is happening, or being attempted.

Amen!

I never could figure out why THEIR creation account got preferential treatment.

I've read comments over there. I was hard pressed to find *scientific* discussion.

rwp was banned for no flimsy reason, as I recall. Why does he keep popping up on this thread?

I mentioned him because he really *is* a professor and as such, it would be somewhat his *real life job* to educate on science.

He was far too irascible but his comments were scientifically rigorous.

BTW, I was out of town (I think in Alaska) when he got banned. I never did find out how it happened, as the thread apparently got pulled too.

If anyone can give me more details via private FReepmail, I'd be grateful.

Cheers!

There is no more evidence that life evolved here on the earth than there is for it to have been delivered or engineered by extraterrestrials...

How do evolutionists feel about teaching that life came from outer space? They already teach the Big Bang theory...

Some of the Bozos out there can't get past that word “God,” so they would just piss the entire country away and join the enemies of America; all because they have this polemic need to bash the Christians and do everything in contravention to them. I say screw them and the filthy practices they want to live by. My children are not going to inherit their squalor if I can help it.

Then don't impose *YOUR* irreligion on us!

--I've wanted to say that for a long time--just on general principles after being lectured on 'keeping religion in its place' ;-)

If you want to have a science site with a Darwinistic bent, great. But FR is about conservatism, not Darwinism--don't try to turn it into THAT...

Full Disclosure: The point is, if you want to discuss science, great. Can't we get a gentleman's agreement that on the pure biology and/or science threads, that crevo food fighters stay OFF of them unless the poster of the thread explicitly invites it?

There ought to be a way to have biology postings without it turning into a flame war, every time...

Cheers!

Basically for the same reason that a spherical earth gets preferential treatment over a flat earth, and the earth orbiting the sun gets preferential treatment over the sun orbiting the earth.

Sometimes it takes religion a few centuries to come to terms with science, but it eventually does. Believers are no longer debating whether the earth moves.

Indeed we do talk about a lot of other things too. Even the handful of creationists on the site abide by the rules and the discussions are more or less pretty civil.
