That isn't the way I define it.

Neither do I, but a similar attitude is expressed towards Creationists. Try Intelligent Design, whoops, it is Creationism in other clothes. Creationist, oh, you participated in the persecution of Galileo. Creationist, you are a flat earther. Creationist, you believe pi is 3. Creationist, .....

I am a Creationist. I believe God created the heaven and the Earth as stated here.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

That makes me an embarassment to Conservatism?

I don't think so, but I think it's an oversimplification, as well.

If you've read what I've been posting, I think there are ways to respectfully accommodate differing points of view without pandering. Several of the posters on these threads are interested in reaching some kind of middle ground, without compromising what any of us believes is true, and we've been talking about it, but it's frustrating, because the threads keep getting pulled, because some people don't play well with others.

Believe me, I can get very chagrined by hostile, intolerance evolutionists, and sometimes take exception to what has been said, but keeping intellectuals (I think we all, including you and me, qualify for that term, more or less) in line is worse than herding cats, and it's not my job, anyway.
