Science appeals to the conservative mind. It's reality based, it sticks with what works, it rejects the debunked, and it produces results. Science is one of the precious few examples of rationality in human experience. Another example is the American Revolution, and so is the US Constitution. Rationality is the foundation of Western Civilization -- as vital as life and liberty.
The conservative movement is inherently rational, and won't be taken over by a fringe group. And that's what we do here in these threads -- we carry the torch of Civilization. The dems are almost all insane, so we should prevail.
