CHRISTIANS ARE THE LAST (APPARENTLY) SAFE TARGET IN OUR “MULTI-CULTURAL” COUNTRY

Or maybe you don’t believe that…...

The EVIDENCE is pretty plain.

But Christians and conservatives are their own worst enemies, in many ways…..

The evolution debate seems made for liberals. It casts them as thoughtful and open-minded thinkers and conservatives as zealots and simpletons — or at least that’s how it looks through the media prism. It doesn’t matter how many times you remind people, as Jonah Goldberg once memorably did, “Your Darwin fish are safe,” the Left will still seize on the caricatures of that debate to pillory whatever other conservative initiatives are around, drowning out the rest of the conversation. It’s hard to argue the virtues of a complex issue such as school choice, for example, while all the shouting is about what a lousy science book the Bible makes.

PHIL JOHNSON warned against just the kind of activism we’re seeing in DOVER, PA and elsewhere. For Phil, the main issue has always been the adequacy of materialist explanations—and that’s what he urges everyone who will listen to keep talking about. Trying to force alternatives into the classroom simply makes it easy to use stereotypes to divert attention from what’s going on in every level of our schools.
