Liberals aren't interested in dialogue or ideas.

So... You're saying you aren't interested in their ideas or dialog with them?

They are interested in using any and all rhetoric they can to shut us up.

...you say, using your own dismissive rhetoric.

President Rawlings' diatribe is simply an Ivy League demand that non-liberals shut up, in this case about evolution.

Perhaps you could quote where you fantasize that he actually said that.

For those of us with working reading comprehension, and less of a gigantic chip on our shoulders, what he's actually saying is that a) creationists are telling lies about evolutionary biology, and b) they're dishonestly claiming that "ID" is a science, when it's not. And that honest people shouldn't be shy about speaking up and pointing out that "ID"'s emperor has no clothes. Free speech to combat dishonest free speech.

I agree with him 100%, and I'm hardly a "liberal".

The fact that you can't discuss what he said on its merits and instead have to engage in false accusations, broad stereotypes, and ad hominem doesn't reflect well on your side of the issue.

People like you are enabling the arrogance of the materialist/secularist establishment. What are y'all
so g-damned afraid of, anyway? You own the educational system and the scientific establishment lock, stock, and barrel, do you not?
