***I guess if you look at the bright side, the more they are here posting this nonsense, the less they are out there in the “real world” scaring normal people away from Conservatism***
Anyone *scared* away from conservatism because of the lies of liberals bent on destroying the conservative movement, wasn’t a conservative in the first place; they are just liberal liars. If liberals would stop spreading the lies that creationists are anti-science and anti-intellectual, then there would be no worry about the conservative movement.
But the liberal, God hating atheists started that lie and the gullible have swallowed it hook, line, and sinker and continue to perpetuate it, like the good little useful idiots that they are.
The *real world* is that most people believe in creation over evolution and want it to be taught alongside evolution in the public schools.
Welcome to the real world...

I’m waiting for a vanity post along the lines,
“I Wanted to be a Conservative Until I Read a Creationist Post on FR!”
I think I may be waiting a looooonnnnngggg time.
Excellent reply! By doing everything in their power to drive the Christian Right out of the GOP, they are actually marginalizing one of the main pillars of the Reagan Coalition. Back in the days of the Reagan Coalition, there was quite a bit of overlap between the Christian, Economic, and the National Security wings of the GOP, and they all more or less learned how to work together to defeat their mutual enemies.
Those were the days!
