Opening statement and explanation were particularly good!
"The "Republicans are anti-science" issue is one that the liberal media are eager to exploit."
"Rationality is the foundation of America and the essence of Western Civilization -- as vital as life and liberty . We want to keep it that way."
"Science appeals to the conservative mind for the same reasons that free enterprise does."
[etc.]
Good stuff!
Most of the credit is PatrickHenry's, of whose homepage mine is one of several mirror sites. His own seems to have stability issues of late.
