In Eisenhower's farewell address, his reference to the 'military-industrial complex' is the one that always seems to be remembered first. However, just a few sentences further, he offers another serious warning.....Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. Sounds quite apropos to what has been going on with those fraudsters at the IPCC and their climategate.

Wow! Another Republican president that the left-wing press mercilessly maligned. Nuggets of prescient wisdom continue to pop up from the writings and speeches of Republican presidents of yesteryear. It continues to amaze.
