DOI Secretary Ken Salazar is stepping down in March. His replacement needs to be someone who can be trusted to end the culture of fictional science as a means to advance environmental agendas.

Salazar is in the position he is in because he is a willing dupe, don't expect his replacement to be any less so.

The same is true with replacements of sec of state and all other cabinet level positions. We can howl to high heaven about Kerry and even if his nomination were stopped, the next nominee would be equally moon batty liberal.

Not a chance. The new SecDoI will be far worse as Obamugabe is unconstrained by reelection.

Which begs the question, “Are some government agencies manipulating science to advance political agendas?”

Heavy sigh...

I know this is pedantic, but it's a pet peeve of mine. To "beg the question" means to evade the question, not to elicit the question. Think "beg off". There was a time when any respectable news editor would never have made a mistake like that.

.... The Klamath hydroelectric dams provide clean inexpensive energy to thousands of local residents who will be forced to pay much higher premiums if the dams are removed because California has strict new laws for use of renewable energy. The town of Happy Camp sits on the banks of the Klamath River and could be wiped out with seasonal flooding without the dams.

this is UN's dangerous agenda of removing infrastructure (dams) to return land to wilderness . Saving fish is the fake reason. Once destroyed is will be too expensive to rebuild.

Neo-Lysenkoism in the service of Luddism.

We are so screwed.

Remember this is the “reality based community”, the self proclaimed party of Science with a Kapital W.

Careful. Uncle kenny already threatened someone with a beat down for questioning him. “How dare you (as in you lowly puke) question my goals.” “Why I oughta.......Whoop whooop whoop” (a la 3 stooges) Did he get some boxing lessons from hairy screed? You know that radical left wing extremists from NV. The one with an A rating from the NRA. Well, will the NRA still give him an A once the new(?) finesteen bill comes up? Isn’t lisa jackson looking for a job? Maybe she can just slide over to interior. She is very astute in the field of fictional science. And surreptitious email accounts. Hello. Richard windsor? Is that you?

Obviously, if it was worth building the first time, it will be worth building again, like a home destroyed by fire in a desirable part of town. Only in America today, the arsonists are running the fire department, so you are correct, it will not be rebuilt.

There was a recent quotation [don’t remember who] that said every movement starts off with good intentions, becomes a business and ends up a scam.......Like this one

Thank you for that clarification. I was beginning to wonder at my previous understanding of the expression and assumed I’d been wrong.

I don’t regard it as pedantic when someone points out errors like this. I regard it as educational.

I keep in mind that liberal troll the site. I don’t want to give them any side issues to use as ammunition against us. I want them to be forced to debate us on our ideas and not on our grammar.

Of course in this case you can look at it both ways. The question is begging to be asked, but the government is evading the question.

There is an endless supply of moon batty liberals. I don’t expect any new person in this administration to be any better than the person he is replacing. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t keep trying to get them removed from their positions. At minimum, the disruption caused by replacement will slow down the liberal agenda.

This should go all the way to the top. Replace Zippy. Yes, of course Biden is a clueless twit. Replace Zippy anyway. Then start working to replace Biden.

How do you eat an elephant? (No political metaphor intended) One bite at a time.

Then, you know we already have a problem. Ofttimes, the spelling on FR is atrocious. So many of our posters must have been asleep in English class. Think of the continual misuse of "loose" for "lose," for example. Makes me want to pull out my hair.

And don't get me started on "there," "their," and "they're."

millions of tons of toxic sediment build up behind the dams that will make its way to the ocean

Yet it's now illegal to dredge because the disturbance might harm salmon... I get it.

Yes, and I left the “s” off of “liberals.” I cut a lot of slack for rapid typing mistakes, especially since I make them myself. Ouch.

“Loose” and “lose” is probably my biggest annoyance! Sometimes I send a private reply to Freepers with atrocious spelling and grammar. I do not want to embarrass anyone publicly, but I try to remind them privately that this is our public face to the world and if we want the world to take our arguments seriously, we need to take ourselves seriously. A well-reasoned and thoughtful post deserves to be written in proper English so that the poster does not look ignorant.

That said, not all posts need to be perfect. I am glad we have a sense of humor here and we can cut each other some slack. But overall, this problem is hugh and series!

Obama’s perversion of truth and fact rivals that of Orwell’s Big Brother right down to the Ministry of Truth, the US media, who will willingly put anything down the “memory hole” that contradicts the current party line.

“coercive manipulation, sublimating science to political priorities, censorship, and scientific misconduct.”

Didn’t they accuse Bush of doing this?
