1. How could he lose by saying:
   “of course I believe in evolution”
   He would have lost his principles. And to those of faith, or – typically Conservatives – conducting yourself by your principles is more important than by politics or opinion polls. That’s why Conservatives tend to fall on their swords or eat their own publicly whenever there is a whiff of scandal or impropriety, and you need a Gomery Commission to root out liberal rot (“Perhaps a few million were stolen”; “I’m entitled to my entitlements”). When the bar that governs your behaviour is allowed to float randomly or with public opinion, there are no expectations, as alex & allan have shown above. Example: liberals voting unanimously that marriage was a unique relationship between man & woman, and then reversing it 4 years later when the opportunity to make political hay arose.
   Jon, perhaps you’re right, and I shouldn’t have let this take a personal turn. My bad. Sometimes my face gets numb from offering alternate cheeks to hit. Maybe I’ll agree to disagree with you on this post, and leave it at that.
   In other totally unrelated news, another Christian is set up for public pillorying solely because of his faith rather than his actions.

   Awesome. Keep ’em coming. The more bigots and fools we get out of government, the better off we’ll be.

3. So it ends with the fact that alex is a bigot writ large, as proven by his insults and ad hominem attacks throughout this thread.
   Rarely have I witnessed such zealotry and fanaticism.
   There’s no room in any debate for morons like him.

4. Irwin –
   You can’t let that stuff annoy you. If he’s trolling, that just makes his day. If – shudder – he really means it… it rather makes my point above.
   Bigotry and the Left: 2 sides of the same coin.

5. Whatever you say, daisy 🙂 I tend to think that pointing out the bigotry of morons like you doesn’t make me a bigot. I’d say most of the civilized world would agree. You’re entitled to your opinion of course.
