" It's worse than that: it's a very socialistic "entitlement" rhetoric. They want the government to give them what they want."

I agree. Oh wait, you weren't talking about the creationists/ID'ers and their attempts at getting into the schools through affirmative action? Never mind. :)

Here's an instructive thread--It's worth reading the whole thing, since it is about the guy these "conservative" evos are so fond of--Mooney. (Who'll shortly be putting out a Michael Moore style "documentary" attacking the GOP).

But if you can only read one post, choose 259. The idea is to embarrass evo'tarians (who embarrass and intimidate easily, being neckless swabbies--I just stuck that gratuitous insult in there to watch 'em swoon) into shunning those effective religious conservatives who have put conservatives into office...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1506338/posts?q=1&&page=251

Buncha fat guys in this thread.

Don't overlook the paranoid scold.

Your posts and your conservative credentials are being questioned by someone who is, apparently, too cowardly to actually bring this fact to your attention. You may wish to examine post 182 at your convenience.

// The argument itself serves the interests of the left and those here pretending to be conservative, this makes the issue less relevant than the agenda.//

This can be illustrated in these very threads Mamzelle. Look at how much time is actually spent on evo in the evo threads.

Then there is the need to juxtapose evo against 'creationism', and then convert 'creationists' into imbeciles with things they did not say such as "God did it, end of story" or angels push the planets around and such.

Sorry, I just glance at these threads occasionally to see how they develop- purely for a historical view.

Life is too short- and good- to waste on these ranting welfare cases.

LOL.

Actually, I think you have it bass ackwards. It is the creationists seeking to get the government to force their non-science into science classes. There has been no ID research, or even papers -- stuff real scientists actually do. IDers scream for "equal time" without having put in equal effort.

So, it's pretty obvious who has the entitlement mentality.

[Mamzelle]

I think you are wise--but my issue is that there is a subtextual agenda that has very little to do with how science is taught in schools, and a lot to do with getting Dems back into power.

[dread78645]

You know, even though I'm not an atheist... I need to *find* these people and sign up.

"You're not quite evil enough. You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil.
You're the Diet Coke of evil, just one calorie, not evil enough."

[mrsmith]

Well, it's a desire to get stuff from the federal government. That does tend to lead to supporting Dem politicians.

However some of the people who'll say the most feudalistic things on these threads support freedom on other threads.

There's a tension in their beliefs that doesn't neccessarily have to resolve towards big government.

Hatred just ooooozzzzes out of you and your post history like puss from a boil. Are you the puss or the boil?

Go ahead and ping the mods though, you and some of the other little evo knuckleheads have them in your back pocket.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

He's the mini-me of evil.

[highball]

Well, it's a desire to get stuff from the federal government.

As has already been pointed out, the only people in this case who were looking to "get stuff" from the government are the school board members who want their religion to get affirmative action.

In short, you have it backwards.

[highball]

Hatred just ooooozzzzes out of you and your post history like puss from a boil.

You're the one who gave an admittedly hate-filled post a bump....

I don't know if the ruling caused them to be so, or whether they are merely giving vent to their extant natures, but I tell you: our opponents in this issue are at this point displaying a bitter petulance I associate with three-year-olds denied candy.
