From a friend:

http://www.antievolution.org/features/wedge.html

 

"Here is the “Wedge Plan” of the Discovery Institute of Seattle that sets forth its plan of driving their version of Creationism (aka Intelligent Design) into the school systems.  Note particularly phases I, II, and III of their Five Year Plan.

 

The primary lament of the folks at The Discovery Institute is the “relativism” introduced into the culture by scientific materialism.  They have stated that their goal is to push Christian ideals of the absolute to fight the prevalent scientific materialism and resultant materialism.  But, if you read their goals and have observed their methods, they have simply introduced into the culture their own form of relativism in their attempt to undercut scientific objectivity.  In short, they are simply replacing one form of relativism for another, i.e. their own relativism.  They plead pluralism of ideas while undercutting scientific objectivity.  In other words, their criterion is not science but rather religious sentiment."

GOALS
Governing Goals

To defeat scientific materialism and its destructive moral, cultural and political legacies.
To replace materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and hurman beings are created by God.

Kinda. They used to be called Puritans.

 I thought we rid ourselves of these fun haters centuries ago?

Sometimes, but not as much as their opposition.

Yes.

Once more for the uninformed:
"It is in the bible" just doesnt cut it.

ID is doublespeak no matter how you dice it up.

It is a way to slip biblical beliefs in on an unsuspecting public using lies and distortions to further a fanatical religious agenda.

Instead of Intelligent Design, it should be changed to Ignorant Design.

And yes, we should be worried that these "American Taliban" want to force ID on our school systems.  It's just another example of many of them trying to force their beliefs on everyone else.
