Well there is a reason only 6% of American scientists claim to be politically conservative.
Sorry. I just do not buy that unless you want to narrow it to the liberal arts.
Science is a liberal enterprise. Science is left wing.
No....just the quacks trolling for government grants are left wing. The myth of scientific consensus on man made climate change has already been destroyed. The so called consensus amounted to roughly three dozen scientists and not all of them specialized in climate science.
You guys despise academia, calling it left wing nonsense is par for the course.
Utter nonsense. We hold honestly peer reviewed science in very high regard. We just have a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to wild eyed scientific claims made based on politicised government grant funded science. Many of us have lived long enough to observe such science crash and burn. One example is the global cooling we were promised in the 1970s. And historically there were other similar scares prior to the 7os.
You hate government and you hate authority figures while adoring dogmatic concepts and ideologies.
You are pretty much just making it up as you go along. We do not hate government. Without government, we would be living in utter chaos. We merely have a poroblem with vastly over-bloated government...or government that does not respect the US Constitution. We believe in the founding fathers concept of limited government. They understood what happens when government goes too far. That's why they did not design our form of government around the british monarchy.
Yes we parrot the science as put out in public by our academic institutions and scientific organizations. It's called learning from reputable sources. Try it some time.
if you do not employ a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to controversial science, you are simply allowing yourself to be brainwashed. You are not thinking for yourself.
Oh, and by the way, here in Massachusetts we have 95% of the public covered by health insurance. We have had a form of "Obamacare" for several years longer than the rest of you. It's doing just fine.
But then, Massachusetts is is a far left state that is quite okay with the concept of government acting as everyone's mommy and daddy. The majority of Americans are fiercely against that concept being spread nationwide....and it certainly is not working as advertised.....not to mention the mandate violates the US Constitution. The bill was passed over the objection of the majority of Americans. And I think even you will admit that it is one of the biggest issues that led to the democrats losing control of the House of representatives and the Senate. Just how much more is your party willing to give up as you continue to circle the wagons and defend Obamacare?
