Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.
And some of us know the difference.
Interesting. Thank you for this post.
And some don’t realize its the same religion.

Um, the eugenics part came separate from the genetics.
There are posters here who know the history of eugenics and Darwinism and how they are tied together much better than I.
There have been several threads on it, as a matter of fact.
I’m not sure what keywords to use to find them, but perhaps someone else more familiar with the topic does, or the FReeper who posted the threads.
The racism and eugenics movement that was starting when Darwin published his theory was heavily dependent on the ToE as justification for it.
outstandingly magnificent folks, yep
If someone called the Pope — or most people who accept evolution — Darwinists, I would strongly protest the use.
You would know, lol.
Thank you! And it coming from YOU is special.
Just so everyone is clear, the eugenics movement was started by the DARWIN FAMILY and they were the leaders of the eugenics movement well into the 20th century.
Prior to the Scopes trial eugenics was the "popular" facet of Darwinism and it remains every bit as integral to Darwinism as the Theory of Evolution.
Both you guys need to read the reference below. It’s kind of recent and presents some quite unexpected material: (note, you can click through to a more comprehensive article behind this brief so do so) http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/49237/title/Horse_genome_added_to_growing_list_of_barnyard_genetics_projects
As you are, lmao!
They seem to NOT have made an impression horses. See: http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/49237/title/Horse_genome_added_to_growing_list_of_barnyard_genetics_projects
I suspect lawyers don't understand the internet.
//I am done posting Creation/ID articles in News. If I post them at all, I will be posting them in religion//
I doubt they will leave you alone even then
Mendel's work on genes and inheritance wasn't widely known until decades after he died, so how the "eugenics movement" would be around in Darwin's time to associate him with their "cause" is a mystery to me. Darwin himself clearly had no knowledge of genetics at all. Racism was around in the 1860s, certainly, but the idea that people were racially inferior because of their genes and the traits they inherited was unheard of until the early 20th century.
Again, the claim you're making would be similar to arguing that the Wright Bros. invention of the airplane caused more carnage in the civil war than would have happened otherwise.
If any freepers would like to prove me wrong and show me all the evil eugenic policies and references to inheritance in Darwin's works, they are free to post otherwise.
The big man has spoken.
I knew there was a good reason I keep sending checks.
I am not positive but I think it has become a way of saying that someone worships evolution.
Behemoth the cat said “I do not take your BELIEFS personally. Feel free to believe in whatever you wish. The problem starts when you guys see the need to support your beliefs with hand-crafted ‘science’ (which defies observable reality and common sense) and advertise this publicly. Then it becomes personal, because as a conservative I become associated with this pseudoscience”
So I may believe whatever I wish as long as I don’t voice my opinion? That is why people question your conservatism. It is not because you believe in evolution, it is that you believe in silencing any dissent to your belief.
However creation science fits extremely well with observable reality and common sense. You are welcome to believe otherwise AND you are welcome to say otherwise even on a public forum because you have the freedom of speech. I am a conservative and I believe in the freedom of speech.
Not sure why it is special coming from me. I am nobody special except in God’s eyes and the eyes of my family. Be blessed my FRiend!
