Pseudoscientists come with various agendas—political, religious, and industrial are common examples. On the extreme left wing, when the overt political agenda fails to convince sufficient voters in the usual democratic exercise of elections, science is presented to gain support for the now-covert political agenda.
The typical guise here is any number of popular but scientifically questionable green or sustainable environmental initiatives. While there are certainly plenty of scientifically legitimate environmental issues, the left-wing pseudoscientists infiltrate easily, and readily convince the masses of the scientific credibility of their cause.
On the extreme right wing we find the religious pseudoscientists, who also illegitimately withdraw from the bank of scientists’ political capital in asserting what they call science to support what should be left to faith. Nowhere is this more evident than in the contentious debate of biblical creationism under the pseudoscientific guise of intelligent design

yup, no agenda from the secular humanist church of evolutionism....sheesh....
For example, when family theme parks present “scientific evidence” purporting to support the notion that people walked the Earth with dinosaurs nearby, people are tricked into believing something that should be taken on religious faith as true scientific evidence contradicts the notion. This dishonesty undermines science, certainly, but also faith, as religious faith should stand on its own; it does not require the support of purloined and manipulated scientific evidence [emphasis added].But I thought that was the whole purpose of creation "science."

If that's true, let's see if it successfully dooms the electoral chances of the Republican ticket or not, as some have suggested it would.
(...and against a Harvard-educated lawyer like Obama, and another (self)-proclaimed high-IQ type like Biden, too!)
In the meantime, for a pro-Palin analysis, may I present Cheese, Moose, Palin.
Cheers!
Women have evolved to be irrationally emotional. It is necessary for the survival of our species. No rational person would take the challenge, "Hey lets have fun for an hour, you may get pregnant and spend nine months barfing, swelling, and aching only to go through torture that would make water-boarding look like a day at Disney World."
will this affect *your* vote for her?
will this create the anti-Republican backlash which some fear?
Cheers!
People just don’t seem to understand that what she believes on abortion or teaching Creationism in school doesn’t matter to her position as Vice President.
I am against abortion, but it is protected by the Constitution at this time.
I am against teaching Creationism in public schools and it is prohibited by the constitution at this time.
The only serious way to change this is a constitutional amendment. Start the process and I will support the outcome because I am a constitutionalist.
I will vote for the nominee of the Republican Party no matter what they believe on these issues because I want a strong defence and drilling everywhere all the time.
I think there's a lot of Palin Derangement Syndrome going on.
Cheers!
