You can't help but notice that there is a very vocal sort of a little clique of evolutionists on FreeRepublic, and there has always been a question in a lot of people's minds as to whether or not the theory of evolution is in any way compatible with conservatism.
This new book ("Godless") of Ann Coulter's should pretty much settle the issue.
Ann does not mince words, and she has quite a lot to say about evolution:
"Liberals' creation myth is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which is about one notch above scientology in scientific rigor. It's a make-believe story, based on a theory which is a tautology, with no proof in the scientists laboratory or the fossil record, and that's after 150 years of very determined looking. We wouldn't still be talking about it but for the fact that liberals think evolution disproves God....
It gets better from there, in fact a lot better. Ann provides a context for viewing the liberal efforts to shut down everything resembling debate on the subject in courtrooms and makes a general case that it is the left and not the right, which is antithetical to science in general. Anybody interested in this question of American society and the so-called theory of evolution should have a copy of this book
But seriously, folks...though we all may titter at some of Ann's wittier and outrageous barbs, I suspect that we are all also aware that her public persona displays more than a little evidence of exhibitionism and narcissism....the woman clearly has some personality issues, and most likely has a low sense of self-worth, which her public persona is designed to somehow compensate for....
Thank you for the most intelligent post of this entire discussion...
....are led by latter-day examples of the 19th century's "Know-Nothing" movement...
I had wanted to state this more provocatively, but didn't want the Mod to zot my post...

That's far from obvious to me at least. George W. Bush just sat there and took the lefts BS for the first four years of his presidency and that's fairly typical of republicans. I'd rather see a few more of them deal with it the way Ann does.
Excellent examples of natural law. Thank you.
