Well, WE knew what it meant

“INDIAN COWBOY”, that is. If you’re not a blinkered leftist, it’s pretty easy to figure out that what at first blush might appear to be a contradiction really isnt. Anyway, the idea that someone who supports good science doesn’t have to also be a flaming leftist (we don’t like the term “liberal”, since they’re usually anything but), is likely enough to toss certain quarters into a bit of a tizzy.
Whether it’s moonbat right-wing creationists — bad science, better economics, strange paranoia about commie homo atheist plots to take over the world — or moonbat leftists such as the Pharyngula Phunsters — bad economics, better science, strange paranoia about social Darwinist theocrat totalitarian plots to take over the world — those are the sorts of quarters we enjoy seeing all flustered. From here, you can almost hear skulls popping at Pharungy as they attempt to wrap their heads around someone who’s non-white, owns a gun, thinks free markets are generally pretty cool, and believes ID is junk pseudoscience. We get that from time to time ourselves.
And so we recognize a kindred soul. From the Indian Cowboy blog comes Conservatives Against Intelligent Design, and we are instantly enamored of the synchronicity in Darwin Central’s first real trackback going to such a worthy recipient. Conservatives against Intelligent Design — hey, that’s us. I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. Goo goo ga joob.
The Black Operations Division of Darwin Central stands with the Indian Cowboy, conservatives who refuse to concede the mantle of science and reason to the left, and who refuse to concede the mantle of conservatism to creationists. As we said in a previous post, we may be outnumbered, but with such men as this campaigning alongside us, it is they who are hopelessly outgunned.

I must say I’m surprised to see so many other non-lefties who see the world the same way I do. It warms my cockles…can I say cockles? What are cockles anyway? And why do they get warm?
Where was I? Oh yeah. Glad to find another ally. I’ll be in your forums as soon as I can get my stupid login to work.

Yes, sometimes we feel like [url=http://www.wtj.com/articles/gabaldon/]Marine Guy Gabaldon[/url]:

(In 1944, the morning after a particularly horrendous battle on Saipan,) American Marine reconnaissance patrols edged their dangerous way forward to map out Japanese lines. As one patrol approached the seacliffs which line the north side of the island, they were greeted by a rare sight. On the flats at the top of the cliff, was a single American Marine surrounded by hundreds of Japanese troops, many of them still armed. One might have thought that this Marine was experiencing his last moments on earth. But as they watched, it became obvious that this lone Marine was actually ordering his hundreds of “prisoners” into smaller groups, even as more Japanese streamed quietly up from their ocean-side caves. Eventually, 800 Japanese soldiers and civilians surrendered on this one morning…[/quote]
