...blasting politics that annoys me, here's another one, courtesy of The Sensuous Curmudgeon, a for-the-most-part-conservative blogger who at least in this post, and probably in a fair few others, speaks for me:
David, you and your fellow Discoveroids can run around claiming that you're advancing science, while at the same time you're all singing "I ain't no kin to no monkey," and we don't care -- as long as you keep it to yourselves. But be assured of one thing -- your Curmudgeon ain't no left-winger, and we're getting very annoyed that you creationists keep stinking up the Curmudgeon's side of the political spectrum.
Why don't all of you anti-science theocrats find yourselves another political party -- you're destroying the GOP. This should be the start of a golden age for the Republicans. There's a raving socialist in the White House, a totally crazed Congress, the economy is in free-fall, and our foreign adversaries grow increasingly emboldened. But still the GOP isn't poised for a return. Why? Because you guys are turning the Republican Party into the Noah's Ark Stupidity Society.
So as our Brit friends would say: Bugger off! Start your own political party. We've already figured out an impressive Latin name for it -- the Inlitterati. It's a good name. It suits you.
Amen, sir.
