Conservatism: Now an Irrational Movement?

YES, this is another political rant, but it’s very much related to The Controversy between evolution and creationism. We’re writing in reaction to two articles we found this morning in publications that have great appeal to and influence upon the American conservative movement.

The first article is in Human Events. It’s titled The Atheist-Dominated National Academy of Sciences . The author begins with a rant against the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) over the issue of global warming. Then his mind somehow makes the “connection” between that and Darwin’s theory of evolution. We’ll jump in at that point…

I was actually going to write something about that appalling article in Human Events, but you said it all. That’s the same magazine that publishes Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, and Robert Spencer, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to find that they’re also openly anti-science.

And I really am finished with the GOP for the foreseeable future myself. Done. Kaput. Stick a fork in me.

This new libertarianism crap is kind of the final straw — it’s a form of libertarianism that somehow includes fundamentalist Christianity and highly intrusive government restrictions on free choice.

I don’t know where to go politically. The Dems are impossible. The Tea Party people don’t appeal to me, but they’re actually not as crazy as the GOP these days — which isn’t praise for the Tea Party, it’s condemnation of the GOP. I guess I’ll just be a grumpy drop-out.
