Enlightenment


Introducing Paul Canal, A Redbridge Blue. He is a local Conservative and according to his blog he will be standing in Bridge ward in the May local elections. Here below are extracts from two of his posts:
 

America still thinks Darwin's wrong

I sometimes think the Age of the Enlightenment passed America by. ……… but to doggedly cling to "intelligent design" is just not, er, intelligent.

One of the more acerbic Christian Right Groups has described Darwin as a eugenicist, influencer of Hitler, proselytizer of mass murder and a half baked bigot. This level of invective would make McCarthy and Goebbels jealous. [My emphasis]

Then we get this:

Jackie Ashley and the Climate Change Fascists of the Left

This attempt to bolt dodgy science to their mast…..
"Climate Change" has become a dangerous self obsessed cult.
The "crustys" have taken over the asylum
We must make properly reseached well infomed decisions, not populist knee jerk one's.
the rabid rhetoric of Ms Ashley, who should be ashamed of herself.
The Age of Enlightenment it seems is always in the past.

  4. The free market fundamentalists are getting really worried, because green is moving in to the mainstream. We must hope for more of this kind of thoughtful and informed commentary from our Conservative fellow-countrymen.

    It seems that Ms Goldsmith has now left the Party.

  6. There are plenty of crystal strokers in the Greens. Good to see them being marginalised. They might be nice but this is 2010 and the Greens need as much help as they can get.
