[Conservative til I die]

As an impartial observer, I recommend dropping the use of bullsnot disclaimers.

Why? It's the truth. I'm just saying that my criticism of the article doesn't come from any bias of being a creationist or an evolutionist. Why the big attitude, chum?

The people who make long disclaimers about all the things they supposedly aren't--imploring that their listeners not dismiss them as some kind of nutcase--never live up to their billing. Usually it's some liberal who goes into a long discursus on what a main street, fiscal conservative and all-around patriot he is before entering the main body of his anti-corporate, Bush-bashing, Don't-You-Just-Hate-American-Imperialism rant.

But, like the baby brother getting hand-me-downs, creationists seem to copy every trick the left ever wore out. They have the "front movement" tactic--that's what ID (think "environmentalism") and the prestigious Discovery Institute (think "Greenpeace") represent. They have the postmodernist "It's-all-in-your-interpretation" wave-away of contrary evidence. And they have the BS disclaimer. Here on FR, there's a small but growing list of creationist posters who "aren't creationists." It gets to be a jaw-dropper of a silly joke.
