Conservative, evangelical, fundamentalist, Bible-believing Baptists against Huckabee. Supercilious wishy-washies. Dumb independents. Plus more.

Mr. Neumayr is upset with conservatives for the “explosion of snide remarks” directed at presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. He admits that Huckabee is a “heterodox Republican on some issues,” but asks, “So what? Who isn]t amongst the leading contenders in this primary race?”
It’s no great compliment to Huckabee, nor reassuring to conservatives, to say he’s as bad as the other candidates.
Mr. Neumayr says we shouldn’t place electability above all things. He further claims that conservatives don’t like a “transparent Christian conservative” such as Huckabee, and then lists some of the failings of the other candidates. In addition, Huckabee’s rejection of Darwinism is supposedly too much for sophisticated conservatives.
I’d have to disagree. As a conservative and Christian, I reject the truth-claims of Darwinism. It might be said that 99 percent of scientists believe in the theory, and that conservatives shouldn’t disagree with scientists. My reply would be that 99 percent of scientists are insane — one percentage point behind mathematicians.
