Just remember, do not let facts get out in front of public policy…or the means justifies the ends of political corruption!

Things like E = I R, E = MC(squared), P = IE and Income - (Liabilities + Cost) = Profit, scares the absolute wet out of ‘em

Of course the leftists are always “pro-science” when it involves mutilating and experimenting on children and babies.

And yet, fire remains hot, water wet, and pi will never equal 3.

Sorry they don't like reality. But it eventually wins. You can only fake it for so long.

The common denominator is government financing.

Who woulda thunk?

And here I was always told it was those EVIL creationists who were the enemies of science.

Same here. Funny thing, evoloserism appears to be roughly orthogonal to questions of right/left, or demoKKKrat/Republican. There’s no real way to distinguish the evoloser bilge you see here on FR from what you’d see on DU or any other leftist venue.

Avarice and incompetence in science will do far more harm than any external force storming its gates.

Humanists have done for hard science and medicine what they did for social sciences and other areas of academia, long ago. They have abolished honor and integrity and replaced it with a hardcore Marxist social and political ideology attached to careers, publication and government research funding. As long as you get the “correct” results in your research and public interactions, all is well.

There has always been an attitude of elitism or godhood in science among some twisted personalities. To these folks success in academia is “intellegence” and intellegence determines one’s human value. In the past these misfits were looked down on by their peers as destructive and anti-social. They were often caught cheating in their research and misleading peers for their own personal gain.

Today, this elitist attitude is rampant in academic research and medicine. It’s pitiful in it’s incompetence and stupidity. Corruption of the human heart and mind promises failure. In science and in business and every walk of life this is true. Deception and intolerance for integrity - no matter it’s ideological excuse, creates oppression and failure. For as long as humanism is the culture of science in the West, there will be a growing failure in Western science.

It's like the insanity of the 12 steppisim cults. Every thing about it is a lie

In the end, the words of the Bible will be manifested as reality, they are already true.

Science is based on pragmatism, practicality and the search for truth. All of these are the enemies of people stuck on dogma, not just leftists but religious fanatics such as muslims. No wonder then the left makes allies of the very people that would relegate us to the dark ages.

The initiative is a sign of how worried it is that e-mails stolen from the University of East Anglia are fuelling scepticism about man-made global warming at a critical moment in talks on carbon emissions.

The debate is over! And they have proven themselves a bunch of crooks bought and paid for by government money.

There's not a whole lot of difference between them and unions, except unions can pour millions of dollars back into dem politician's campaigns, government leech scientists pour a lot of phony data back to corrupt government institutions to prop up their grab for power.
