Science must always be politically incorrect (or at least politically unencumbered)or we end up back in the middle ages with Copernicus and Galileo locked in the tower. I find it rather disturbing that liberals are the quickest to condemn one man's real science whilst simultaneously promoting agenda-driven junk-science. And they're also the loudest at denouncing the historical Christian church for having exhibited that very same PC-driven attitude in days of yore. Ahh... the contradictions and incongruities of being a liberal. No wonder they're always so...angry and uptight.
Ah, yes. But it appears far too often that junk science is that which we disagree with while - of course - "real" science is the science that produces results we like.
Both liberals and conservatives are guilty of this.
Depends on how you define "religion." Ann Coulter's on to something. Of course that new "religion" dates as far back as Rousseau and the Enlightenment deification of pure reason. There seems to be a need for Ultimate Authority in us all whether or not we acknowledge it by name.
I agree that the modern politicization of science is both hypocritical and dangerous.
I don't how a liberal even exists to begin with.
