The hardcore evolutionist on FR who claim to be small government libertarians are the worst liars of all.

Prove it.

I am probably a "hardcore evolutionist" -- at least I did six years of graduate school, with about half of my time devoted to fossil man, evolution, osteology and related fields.

Now show me the evidence that I either claim to be a small government libertarian, or that I am not one.

Or retract your nonsensical, unsupported, and incorrect statement.

The FR hardcore evolutionists usually avoid specifically defining where they stand politically, then almost always end up claiming libertarianism to justify their liberal presence on a conservative forum.

There is a prevailing perception that those who believe in evolution are atheists and liberals.

Some probably are but many are not. There are countless Christian conservatives who recognize evolution to be the mechanism which best explains nature and the origin of species.

Believing in evolution doesn’t automatically make you anything else other than someone is willing to let the evidence lead to a conclusion.

Feeling guilty? Old Landmarks made not such overt claim about you. He identified a certain class of individuals and then stated that they were liars of severe extent. Only you have placed yourself in that class by implication. You have admitted to being a hardcore evolutionist and this is Freerepublic, so do you claim to be a small government libertarian? If not, your tirade is misplaced.

Had Old Landmarks stated instead "The hardcore evolutionists on FR, all of whom claim to be small government libertarians, are the worst liars of all.", you might have justification for your accusation.
