Actually, no you are not. Conservatism is anchored in rationality. Liberals reject reality in spite of the facts. ID'ers have MUCH more in common with liberals than conservatives - because they hold their conservative beliefs not due to a rational thought-out philosophy - but because of a fear of betraying their belief system.
ID'ers are just liberals with a different bent.

Precisely.

And ID is just a warmed-over PC with a right-leaning twist.

ID requires one to redefine words to suit a political agenda. ID casually discards all evidence that does not conform to existing dogma. ID employs conformity to a political agenda as the first criteria for evaluating evidence. ID is the ultimate expression of valuing feelings over reason.

This ID PC is every bit as silly and as dangerous as the original, and must be fought with just as much stength and enthusiasm.

Dude, I'm not an IDer."
I think you got me mixed up with somebody else. I agree with what you said above.
