You're misquoting Jim, I think. I was lurking on that thread. His literal comment was:
You can't be a conservative if you fall in league with the Marxist ACLU and the socialist Democrat Party.
The context was that you can't use evolution to bash Christians and be a conservative.
Speaking as a 5-year-veteran of the crevo threads, I agree with him.
On the other hand, I don't consider creation science to be science. But I consider science to be an excellent way to observe God's handiwork.
Sorry, not a misquote and not a misunderstanding of what Jim said.
He stated that we added nothing to the conservative movement, his words.
