The Dems certainly do want to see the conservative movement fractured. I don't think there is any disagreement there. I've written many times on FR that conservatives and libertarians need each other, and should try to bury the hatchet. I've tried to bury the hatchet with a number of people on FR and have discovered shortly thereafter the hatchet buried between my shoulderblades. I tried to make peace with Cultural Jihad once and it turned out badly.

If we're going to stay united against the socialists, religious conservatives need to realize that modern biology isn't the enemy. None of us are "evolutionists". I don't "believe" in evolution in the religious sense. Calling us darwin-idolaters and evilutionists plays into the hands of the Dems, because it helps them portray the conservative movement as the party of luddites. I agree that some of the secular conservatives around here need to be more respectful of the beliefs of the religious conservatives. I try to be respectful of people's faith. I am not without some measure of faith myself.

Sheesh, it's hard to keep up with you evasive types. I was just using your own lingo or the lingo I find on the "crevo" threads you frequent. Ok, you're not evolutionists. And even though you call your base camp "Darwin Central" you wish not to be called "Darwinists" or "Darwin-idolaters." You prefer to be called "Scientists?" "Evolutionary Scientists?" I presume that means you all have advance degrees in Evolutionary Science?

So, if religious conservatives don't do that (whatever that realization entails), the "pro-science" conservatives will do what, exactly? And what about non-religious conservatives like me?
