If this website is degenerating into a leftist/socialist playground it isn't on my shoulders.
This is so stupid I almost have no comment, except to juxtapose it with your subsequent remarks:
Those who disagree with that agenda have been silent so long that lefties and socialists think they own the playing field. They aren't used to any disagreement. That is changing, and it's about time.
Well, so which is it, Coyote? Is EvC Forum a former hotbed of clandestine socialist activity now being brought into the enlightenment of your conservativism, or is it a once-proud marketplace of ideas now "degenerating" into a "leftist playground"? Do you find it significant that you can't keep your self-serving hagiography straight for even the space of a single paragraph? I know I do.
Better get used to it.
I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to "get used to", since in a single post to me you've described EvC as moving, ideologically, in two completely separate directions. Am I supposed to get used to its degeneration into a leftist playground, or get used to the steady march of conservative voices as led by you and yours? I'm confused!
Oh, wait, no, I'm not. You're confused, because the content of your political positions is nothing more than whatever pisses off liberals; updated daily.

You still refuse to tell me why I, as a lower-middle class american, should vote conservative/republican. What are they doing for me?
All my adult life, I've been the only Democrat in a Republican family (as was my ex, who's also a unionist), having registered Democrat mainly because of Nixon's then-current first term. Kind of ironic, since Nixon was a flaming leftist liberal compared to the present-day GOP.
A year or two ago, I heard something very surprising. My very Republican brother-in-law, who retired a few years earlier, made the remark: "I'm beginning to realize that the Republicans are not my friends."

Thats nothing. I am also a democrat in my republican party. My ultraconservative brother voted democrat last year because the republican candidate promised to stop all construction work in order to cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations. Since my brother is a civil engineer, they would have cut his job as well.
Dont you find it odd that republicans are too willing to spend trillions of dollars on wars in other countries but refuses to fix our own goddamn bridges?

And by the way, the charge of "racist" has just about been used up as a pejorative. You can only cry "wolf" so often before it fades into meaninglessness.
Yeah, if you say "look, there's a wolf" every time you see a wolf, then eventually you get labeled as "the boy who cried wolf with unimpeachable accuracy".
The lefties/socialists have succeeded in taking a once-legitimate charge and running it into the ground.
How does a charge become less legitimate merely by being made?
Lots of people have also said that the KKK is racist. At what point did the mere repetition of the allegation magically turn them into non-racists?

Do Your Racist Right
... and all the Negro race pimps out there.
You do not make a good racist, Panda.
That's "niggra" not "negro".
"... and all the niggra race pimps out there."
That is the way your modern racists say "nigger" without the social stigma of having actually said the word "nigger.
If you're going to do racism you have to learn to do it right.

I was giving him some leeway, due to his accent, but you are probably correct.

For Your Consideration
Coyote writes:
And why can't we keep this site limited to the creation/evolution issues? Why do leftists/socialists keep trying to push their flawed agenda in places it wasn't designed for?
Because you keep encouraging them by responding?
Ignoring what you perceive as taunts has been shown by experience, starting in kindergarten, to be an extremely effective strategy when one feels such discussion is inappropriate.
In other words, how is it rational to complain about discussing politics while at the same time posting about politics?
To quote the under appreciated jar "it's that easy."
