Well yes, if you define “Science” as being manufacturing a study to validate pre-determined political dogmas.
they appear to be very confused about the whole -life beginning at conception- thing.
Science: A fetus is a distinct, unique human being
they have a vast apparatus in place to support their lies and misinformation to include scientific studies, economic data, social research, government budgeting and fiscal policy matters, public opinion/ polling and news.
In short, the operate a gigantic lie machine.
They are most certainly the pro-phylactic party.
No, they are the “scientific”-whores-for-more-bogus-regulations party.
Depends on what you call science. If you mean Deepak Chopra style New Age techno-babble the answer is yes.
They do want to seem to keep us grounded and prevent us from exploring space...God didn’t exactly put us here to live in caves, we were given the tools we have for a reason.
They are demoncrats... they serve satan... their party is founded on lies and their master is the lord of the lie.

You can go on and on with leftist science deniers:
Denying that a new life begins at conception being the most blatant and egregious.
But most of believers in the following anti-science nonsense are leftist:
Crystals
Energy vortexes (like all the loopy lefties in Sedona,AZ such as Sean Young believe in)
Homeopathy
chiropractors (the wacky version with “tuning forks” and other nonsense).
Acupuncture and the vast majority of the eastern medicine and herbal remedy crap.
fortune tellers
ad infinitum...
That a dam built by a beaver for beaver purposes is a beautiful part of nature - but a dam built by humans for human purposes is an affront and attack upon nature.
That anything that is natural is good and pure, and anything that is manmade is evil and a toxin.
That cycles of climate including ice ages are an unexplainable feature of the natural world, but that recent land based readings of increases in temperature are caused by human activity (capitalism especially) and will lead to the destruction of the Earth by fire.
Previously that cycles of climate including ice ages are an unexplainable feature of the natural world, but that less recent readings of decreases in temperatures are caused by human activity (capitalism especially) and will lead to the destruction of the Earth by ice.
That scientists are evil and untrustworthy if they work for private industry trying to provide a good and helpful product in order to make a profit by selling to willing customers - but that scientists are good and paragons of trust if they work for the government and are trying to dictate private behavior (even if they have to use a “trick” to “hide the decline”).
That capitalism produces nothing of any good and should be done away with, as soon as they download the latest hits onto their iPad.
etc, etc.
> Are Democrats Really the “Pro-Science” Party?
NO, they are the “Faux-Science” Party !!!
bttt
NASA’s budget is at it’s lowest in fifty years as percentage of the budget on Obama’s watch.
Less then half a penny now of the federal budget.
The bailouts would have powered NASA for decades to come.
Pitiful.
The nations that lead on the frontiers, dictate the course of human history.
Obama the global citrizen doesn’t believe of course that America should be dominate in that.
Yes. Democrats are the pro-science party because they are brilliant, really-really smart, intelligent, bright, superior, and genetically advanced.
On the other hand, Republicans are stupid Christians who believe in superstition and who hate science because they are dumb, stupid, moronic, knuckle-dragging, gun-loving, bible-thumping idiots, ya know?

I hate to say it, but I've seen too many examples right here on FR of people pushing anti-vaccine, pro-"organic", literal creationism, cold-fusion, alternative medicine, etc., to believe that there is really much difference between left and right when it comes to scientific literacy.
The writer has a lot of Faith in the "scientific consensus" of corrupt government bureaucracies, political groups and industry groups. He is not pro-real-science, he is just gullible.
By his thinking, Libertarians are anti-science, since many of them are against stuff like the following:
Science is a religion for a lot of people, and they cannot handle skeptics who question their dogma.
Playing Now: Hail to Us Chiefs (obama blames American people for his failures)
Why California’s Three-Parent Law Was Inevitable
The New Republic: Obama “Close to Carter Territory” (Walter Russell Mead)
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
These are the modern Priests of the Temple. Their god is secularism and their trade craft populism. Government schooling keeps them in business. No thinking person would be a liberal.
And where does this *belief* come from? Phony fudged data, altered to fit some bullsheet 'Hockey Stick' computer model that nobody else can duplicate when the correct data is used. That ain't 'Science', it's making snake-oil.
But they need evolution so they can take God out of any equation of life. That's required so they don't have to feel 'guilt' for being perverted degenerates and not having to pay any price -- aka: Final Judgment -- for their mentally deranged, sick, 'choice of lifestyle'.
A God in that picture just ruins everything.
Note: I omit the Big-Bang as belief in that is not mutually exclusive from belief in the existence of God, i.e: If there was a Big-Bnag, there had to be a Big-Banger.
