Free Republic once boasted a fair quota of conservative thinkers and intellectuals, and had a measurable impact on the 2004 election, It has become a cultural zoo of the worst sterotypes of conservatism: proudly ignorant, woefully illiterate, violently abusive biblical literalists.

Does Howard Dean write your stuff?

By my count there are very few "biblical literalists" posting at FR.

On the other hand, there are many exceptionally well-educated conservatives at FR who have the deepest respect for the legitimate claims of science and who enthusiastically applaud the efforts of honest, open-minded scientists in unlocking the secrets of nature and the cosmos. These same conservatives can also detect when science has strayed beyond its bounds and become a quasi-religious dogma, pitched by materialist snake oil salesman as the "one true way of knowing."

Even that hubris would be tolerable if the machinery of government were not employed to coerce obeisance to its outrageous faith claims in the public schools and public squares of this great nation. That hubris is no more acceptable in its Darwinist trappings than it ever was in the traditional religion trappings of bygone eras. It is a stench in the nostrils of all conservatives of good faith and diligence.

Darwinists of this ilk are at war not with biblical literalists, but with conservatism itself. They march solidly in perfect cadence with the most obnoxious elements of the radical fascist left.

Actually, there are a lot of us. But most don't post often or go for long periods without posting because of the very fierce, insultive, assaultive, viscious, hostile etc. attitudes of so many naysaying atheists and others who disagree with our perspective.

My ping list for a subset of the literalists is quite long.
