Crazy Irishblogging right wing nutcase

The great thing about blog aggregators is that you get to read blogs you wouldn't normally. A case in point is Atlantic Blog the blog of an american economist working in UCC. I previously mentioned his wacky free trade ideas but now he's taken up against evolution and disproved it with some well argued crazy talk. Now I'm an old school lefty who believes we should tolerate all ideas even the nutty ones and that emigrants to our country are especially welcome when they bring with them cultural diversity. But then I had a thought, isn't that a bit disrepectful? Shouldn't I try and empathise with this guy and see things from his point of view? So I did a little research into right wing thinking and have discovered that they believe that emigrants should integrate into their adopted countries, abandon their foreign culture and adopt that of their adopted homeland and if they they don't like that culture they can always leave. So in this spirit of empathy I say to Mr Atlantic Blog believe in evolution or get the hell back to where you came from you crazy right-wing nutcase.
