Trivia:

Echaton notes a Bill O'Reilly / Gays / Conservative tussle. What happened is this:

O'Reilly gives an interview for the September issue of The Advocate. He tells the magazine he doesn't care much one way or the other about gay marriage.

This upsets conservatives.

One group reacting vigorously is the Concerned Women of America.

Who is (are?) the Concerned Women of America?

They are an antii-abortion, anti-cloning, anti-homosexual, Christian group. (The Christian orientation, a key determinant of their outlook, is not evident from their name.) When first encountering groups like this, an interesting test is to see what position, if any, they have on evolution. The CWoA does have one (or rather, several). For example, this is what they claim the Darwinists' plan for indoctrination is:

Present the lie about man and God to demean what was created in God’s image.

Begin pushing the envelope toward the real goal: belief in naturalism instead of God.

Establish a cloak of deception to desensitize the public.

Claim evidence that is not substantiated as fact.

Skew the facts and repeat the lie so that the true history is not known.

Sway public opinion by equating evolution with progressive, intellectual thought.

Vilify resistance to the agenda.

Utilize Hollywood in the communication of a lie.

Use the courts to bring evolution into education.

Punish the truth-tellers.

Here at uggabugga, we consider ourselves Darwinists, but frankly were unaware of the program as outlined by the CWoA. We obviously missed getting the memo from Central Darwinian Command. But now that we've had a chance to view it, we are not surprised to see that the last item is:

Punish the truth-tellers.

Yeah!      Absolutely. That's the number one topic whenever we meet. But how, we wonder, did the CWoA find out our secret? Somebody at the Trilateral Commission must have blabbed.  Or maybe it was the Bilderbergs.  Or maybe the Council on Foreign Relations.   Or...   (Read all about it here.)
