Letter: The hypocrisy of conservatism

I see that conservatives, Republicans and Christians are, once again, carrying on and on in protest about the theory of evolution (survival of the fittest) being taught in school.

I see that conservatives, Republicans and Christians are, once again, carrying on and on in protest about the theory of evolution (survival of the fittest) being taught in school.

At the same time that they protest evolution, they are still subscribing to the theory that poor people must pull themselves up by their bootstraps (survival of the fittest); no matter that some people may not even have bootstraps.

I say this at the risk of more anonymous calls self righteously assuring me that I will be going to hell. It does seem to me, though, that the hypocrisy of the double theories would just as much have hell waiting in the wings as would the pointing it out.
