The only question now is whether the ruling will be a narrow one that says the Dover school board tried to get creationism into the science classes, or will it be a wider ruling that Intelligent Design is a form of creationism.
Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if the plaintiffs bill the school board for their legal fees. Will the Thomas More Law Center pay the school board's costs? I wonder.
Creationism is a cancer on conservatism. The "Dover First" slate brought this on themselves. It's a pity.
I'd rather have them than the cultural Marxists whose rhetoric is nothing different that that on the DU. People who ally themselves with the ACLU, Morris Dees, and Barry Lynn are not conservatives and not in any position to lecture us on what conservatives are.
You may be right on the ruling from the judge based on his
joining with the ACLU to pressure school board members on the stand, but the school board will raise money through
donations if they have to pay lawyers fees for the ACLU.
The cancer on conservatism is the humanistic, libertarian
hostility to "religion." Without "religious" support our movemment stands no chance of winning elections and libertarian ideas of less government are going nowhere. I
respect libertarian and humanistic people and they must respect those who believe that God created the earth and
understand we can all work together for some good. (To stop wasteful spending, cut the size of government and its
power). Freedom should involve the religious idea of protecting life (abortion, euthanasia) and the secular idea of protecting property (eminent domain, environmental rules). Then lets get the government off our backs otherwise.
