Libertarian conservatives? And esp. libertarian conservatives who have the sophistication to run or write for think-tanks? I don't think so. Sure you could find some examples but the percentage would be very small.

The percentage will be quite large. It is in the nature of Libertarians to fall for the "teach the controversy" nonsense of the ID crowd. Something like 65% or so of Americans support teaching creationism alongside of evolution in public schools, and I would suspect Libertarians to be solidly in favor of such a "freedom". Conversely, as I have pointed out, they would not favor the "freedom" of teaching holocaust denial, which is a shockingly small part of history compared to 3.5B years. Go figure!

Its quite reasonable to be FAR more tolerant of ID than of Holocaust denial.

LOL! Why?
