Yeah, it is.

pronouncements from the creationist paleo-triablism cult is not “intellectual debate”.

Correct answer -- making conservatives look like morons by posting pseudoscientific flapdoodle is a standard liberal-troll tactic.

Only to RINOs like you.

oh boo-friggin-hoo. Grow up.

It is a tad amusing to see people alternate between posting give-me-liberty-or-give-me-death pronouncements on the one hand and complaining that they simply can't bear a few unkind words on the other....

Nah, just that thousands of Freepers have seen your posts over the years as well.

I’ve seen xcamel’s posts and haven’t noticed any problems. Can’t say the same for yours, though.

The problem is not that you said unkind words. The problem is you were talking behind your target's back by not pinging them.

But I've come to expect that kind of difficulty in grasping basic logic from you.

I disagree. I think this does have wider cultural implications, although they may not be immediately apparent.

Please list them. I assume you have complete documentation?

As I said.. grow up. (unless you really are 12 years old)

Like I said, you do have a problem in grasping logic. You and xcamel come in here to insult creationists and you say things about them behind their backs, yet you say you've seen no problem in xcamel's posts being rude. Your powers of deduction are underwhelming.

Call up just about any Fair Tax thread in which you have participated. You want me to list links?

What’s the problem? If FR ceases to be “hostile” to this form of junk science, then the people who post it here won’t get academic credit for it, and might not be able to graduate on time. Really, we’re doing them a big favor....

Again, something that is just as stupid, if not more, than creationism. but delusion loves company.

The problem is with you. You spend most of your time on FR directing your fire rightwards instead of leftwards. I disagree with much of what the creationists post. But I find common ground with them in areas that truly matter, such as trying to rein in the Democratic agenda.

You, to the contrary, cruise left-wing sites looking for materials with which to bash the likes of creationists and Palin.

I diagree with the Fair Taxers, mainly because IMO we'd end up with both a federal sales tax while keeping the income tax. That's how DC works nowadays.

However, their underlying principles are sound. And there is enough common ground there regarding fiscal conservatism that they can be allies in trying to constrain the Democrats.

But all you can do is call them stupid...

So, how much of that "leftwards" fire consists of "all Democrats are responsible for the craziest leftists, because the former fail to call out the latter on their foolishness"?

The same principle applies on the right.

fairly tale proclamations from the religion of secular humanism are so highly improbable that it is laughable faith.

Hmmm ... let's see ... the left wing crazies want to wreck the economy, endanger national security and cram left-wing propaganda down the throats of kids in school.

The creationists want to push their viewpoint of one subject in schools.

Yet the two are morally equivalent in your book.

Telling.
