Yeah, true. But one of these threads will someday be lurked by Sean Hannity, or O'Reilly, or Hugh Hewett (all of whom have spoken favorably about ID), and maybe they will think twice. That's one reason I argue the points I do. Because I believe these folks are reasonably intellegent, and can be pursuaded that either pursuing ID is damaging to conservatisim. Or is at least questionable enough within conservative circles that they will drop it.
So I keep arguing, and pointing out the same points over and over. At least while my patience holds up. Sometimes I get cranky.
