It would be interesting to correlate the acceptance of evolution with supporters of comprehensive immigration reform among active Freepers. It seems as if many ex-Freepers who are genuine scientists and those who support immigration reform have both been driven from FR.

I suppose it's another demonstration that all civilizations eventually fall to the hands of unthinking superstitious mobs. America truly is in decline.

I doubt it is high. There's no correlation among conservative pundints. George Will, Charles Krauthammer, and John Derbyshire are some of the most strident pro-evolution pundints, and yet they all opposed the bill, quite vociferously, I might add. I don't know whether the patterns of Freeper opinion resemble conservative pundint opinion patterns, but barring an evidence to the contrary, I think it's a reasonable working hypothesis to believe they do.

Lots of Freepers supporting a more restrictive immigration policy and harsher treatment of illegal aliens have also been banned. In addition, FR management has prohibited the posting articles from several websites that support lower levels of immigration and stricter enforcement. People have been banned for even mentioning these websites by name.

Which, I'm sure, explains how and why this country was so great when so many of its citizens were much more religious and believed those mindless, superstitions taught in the Bible than now.

Of course, America is in decline now, but I can't help but wonder why, if science and education and belief in the ToE is supposed to be so enlightening and leading to the betterment of the country and mankind, it seems that the more *educated* we are, the worse this country is becoming. The very thing you think should be preventing the downward spiral of Western civilization, isn't working. Why is that?
