The party of science fiction is reduced to ad hominems. What else is new?

Well not quite. There is also their claim of “the scientific consensus” supporting their view. As if that mattered even if true. They are not going to let that lie go without a fight. Fortunately it’s a fight we can win.
The left loves science if science helps them live corrupt lives. So they love the pimp science. They live in a small world science.
Real science is about working hard to rejuvinate the society, and it is an investment and a leap of faith into future generations.
Just as they misappropriate funds, they misappropriate the meanings and the usage of words.
These people do not have their minds right.

I wrote about those tensions (as well as the considerable tensions between science and the right) in this 2008 book, and the chapter on science and the left was excerpted that year in The New Atlantis, in case you’re interested:

” That liberals take attacks against their own political preferences to be attacks against science helps us see the degree to which they identify themselves—their ideals, their means, their ends, their cause, and their culture—with the modern scientific enterprise.
Ethical disagreements over the destruction of embryos for research are described instead as a conflict between science and ignorant theology. Differing judgments about the proper role of government in sex education in schools are painted as a quarrel between objective public health and medieval prudishness. A dispute about the prudential wisdom of a variety of energy policy alternatives is depicted as a clash of simple scientific facts against willful ignorance and greed. And the countless minor personnel and policy decisions that always shape the day-to-day operations of the federal executive branch are pored over in an effort to reveal a nefarious pattern of retrograde anti-rational obscurantism. “
science? what the hell does the left know about science??? all they take are Black/Woman's/Queer/Hispanic/etc/etc/etc Studies and philosophy
it's conservatives that take the hard sciences that start companies and design and build things
Just simply examine the things a typical leftist will claim to be scientific fact;
1.) Mankind is killing the earth by having free markets.
2.) Homosexuality is natural and human beings have their sexuality hardwired at birth. But gender is not hardwired at birth and is not determined until you make a choice.
3.) Human beings were once apes, and originally were even lesser life forms but through natural selection evolved to their current state. Other species though still cant do the same because....???
4.) Even though an unborn baby will become human after birth they are not really human before birth and it is alright to kill them up to this point.
Science for the leftwing is really just an excuse to spread their hatred for Life into public policy.
bttt
The left promotes and creates science “fictions” as justification for their grabs for authoritarian power

Climate Science You Won't Hear About (Lawrence Solomon: Science getting settled) That CERN experiment confirming cosmic rays can generate clouds.
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Now, now....the "party of science fiction" is probably conservative/libertarian (the influence of Robert A. Heinlein, and others). Yes, there were a FEW screaming liberals among SF authors (Asimov, Bradbury) but their influence on the "zeitgeist" of SF seems to have been minimal.
