'Science' marchers demand their 'right' to the taxpayer teat

Are you against government-funded science? If you are, you must be against all science! That's the conclusion of a large number of parasites and freaks who went to giant costume parties all around the world dressed in white coats to give themselves a patina of authority.

Here are some of the dumbest things that were said at those rallies:

Jamie Rappaport Clark, president and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife, [said] “Science matters and without science wildlife have no chance for survival...."

Really? How did wildlife survive before there was "science"? Here's what retired astronaut Leland Melvin said:

"...it’s a beautiful planet, but there are a lot of things going on and without the data and without the science, we are going to decimate our planet and eradicate our civilization"

Without "the science"? Did Melvin call it "the science" when he was at NASA? For a former astronaut, he talks like an 8 year-old. Which brings us to...

Teddy Shipman, an 8-year-old New Yorker in D.C. for the march, stressed the importance of a healthy environment.

“Trees make oxygen,” Shipman said. “It helps us breathe. Who doesn’t like that?”

“Does little Teddy know what keeps trees alive so they can make us oxygen????”

I feed my trees burning tires, they love it!

Their march chant:

We’re nerds
We’re wet
We’re really quite upset

No, and neither does his parents. If you were to explain the concept to them they would get a blank look on their faces, their eyes would do a little flutter, and they would robotically respond, “Brawndo, It’s got what plants crave!”

What are ya gonna do - that’s science for ya ;’}

I don’t know about the weather where you are, but here in the Bay Area yesterday, it was a veritable blizzard with all the snowflakes scurrying around blowing hot air about “science”.

Hmmm. Suckerberg? You mean NO WALL suckerberg? While he builds one around his “compound” on Maui(?) and bought out a couple houses in calibfornia to extend ‘his’ wall surrounding his estate there? That suckerberg? They refuse to see their own hypocrisy.

We’re over the hill on the east side of Donner (anybody want a snack) Pass in Reno. Heard it was 85 in LA yesterday. We went down there last week for a fund raiser for an old friend of ours and the first two days (Mon/Tue) in calib were full of rain and fog. WTH? As far as flurries, Reno has it’s ‘celebration’ all planned out for today. Thus, we’ll avoid downtown. Too much traffic tryin’ to find parking to protest too much automobile emmissions. FIDIOTS!

She's talking about her wild life. Who's going to pay for her partying, airfares, room service, hotels, illegal drugs, booze, STD treatments and abortions?

Sounds kind of like Jerry Reeds song "When Your Hot, Your Hot".

STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering and Math

What part of $20,000,000,000,000 in debt is hard to understand? It's Simple Math!

Not in favor of idiotic marches, but would you rather pay taxes for scientists to perform research or for unemployed mothers to make more future prisoners.

“Scientists” will tout the politics of any leftie who pays them enough money.

As for me, I hate horseradish. But if a company paid me one million dollars, I would do TV commercials extolling the virtues of horseradish.

Here in Maine yesterday, the high temperature was about 39 or 40 degrees, 20 degrees below normal.

We could use some “global warming.”

“Science” is a politically correct excuse. All the crooks ever wanted is unconstitutional, unaccountable federal funding imo.

“Scientists” need to seek their unaccountable, but 10th Amendment-justified “government” funding from the state governments, provided they find a state or two with taxpayers “open-minded” enough to tolerate such spending, return on investment beside the point.

I'd rather have my finger cut off than my hand.

Emily Fink, 28, and Kayla Denson, 29, are biomedical researchers who drove seven hours from Buffalo to attend the march, and they said they fear the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts will imperil their careers.

Hands out of my pockets, freeloaders!
