Do Republicans see any need for scientists?

[rdean]

From their comments, it's questionable. They think scientists just get government money but don't really do anything of importance?

 

[BertramN]

Conservatives only accept scientists whose research can be used to develop new and better ways to make war.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Like Pol Pot. He'd get his henchmen to say "all teachers come forwards, we need you to do important work" and take them off to be shot. He didn't want anyone smarter than he was, and he wasn't that smart. My last boss was the same. The only people who'd survive were the ones who licked ass all the time and never made themselves look good.

 

[AntonToo]

Don't like scientists, they spend too much time studying reality, which has that insidious liberal bias.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Heheheheh

And given all the whining and crying going on all over America by distraught liberals saying Trump is "not my president", I wonder, do liberals see any need for reality?

 

[Lewdog]

Conservatives do not believe scientists have any ethics and can't fairly report findings from their research. Well unless they come back with the results that fit the Conservatives narrative.

 

[Nosmo King]

Think about what science tells us. According to science, mankind did not appear on this planet wholly formed like a potted geranium. Mankind actually evolved like all other forms of life. Science tells us that mankind is capable of messing up this planet, our one and only planet. Sometimes making bushels of money without regard of the environmental consequences can be bad. Science tells us that homosexuality is not a mere lifestyle choice, but a condition that appears in other life forms and is embedded at birth like eye color or race.

That's a bitch for Conservatives to accept. Science refutes so many of their core beliefs.

 

[Nia88]

Science goes against every irrational belief republicans/ conservatives have. So they have no need for science because they dont want to progress.

These jokers still refuse to believe global warming is man made.

 

[Lewdog]

Science proves the Earth is more than 3,000 years old. End of Story. That's like throwing Holy Water on a Vampire.

 

[S.J.]

What kind of scientists are you talking about? The kind who keep an open mind to ALL possibilities or the kind who take government grants from liberals, then give them the results they want for political gain?

So just because the results come out in favor of what the study is for, it HAS to be false. You realize the fallacy in that right?

Probably not for those with their Ph.D.'s in Junk Science.

You corrupt liberal fucks corrupt everything you touch including science. You use science like you use the MSM to push a biased liberal agenda. True science welcomes skeptics, its the norm in true science, yet when it comes to global warming you pack of rabid dogs attack anyone who dares question this so called global warming science. So in closing, shove it up your ass.

If you've read the conservatives' posts over the years, most consider themselves very knowledgeable in all fields. They are confident they can hold their own in any debate with experts in any field. Science, economics, military strategy, political science, the list is long, and in any discourse in which they participate, facts take a backseat to their right wing talking points.

Conservatives typically decry education and denounce individuals and entire groups with advanced degrees, as elitist. It is often the case that conservatives lack the ability for analytical thought, which is why most prefer to let their clergy and political leaders govern what ideologies they hold. These ideologies are typically set at an early age and are nearly impossible for the individual conservative to escape. It leaves analytical thought and reasoning forever out of reach for these people.

As you state, such people hate those they realize are more intelligent and possess more knowledge, which is one reason right-wingers fight to keep wages low. Helping hold back those with superior intellects and those who excel beyond the limitations of the right-wingers' abilities is one reason they like to see the fat cats’ unethical business practices cheat average Americans.

Why else do conservatives fight to elect legislators who pass laws to increase the fat cats’ rights to exploit workers, cheat consumers, and protect corporate profits through deregulation. It is beyond reason why conservatives want Big Business to have the right to poison the air and water we need to sustain life.

It is not uncommon for employees who actually earn their income through skill, knowledge, and contributions to the success of their companies to be let go because they make those in higher positions, or even the owner himself (or herself) feel inferior.

Conservatism is defined as: dislike of change or new ideas in a particular area(s). While liberalism is defined as: belief in the value of social and political change in order to achieve progress.

It is easy to see why conservatives hate liberals, conservatism demands stagnation, and that is the death of any society. Consistent progress and adaptation guarantee survival. Like it or not, this is true for all living things, and societies.

What crap!! If it can be demonstrated to support the hypothesis then Conservatives very much take it on board and develop the ideas so that REAL progress can occur; not some dead end "change everything". America has just told the world that it considers Science to be the servant of the people; not its dictator.

No, when data that doesn't support what their liberal bosses want, gets removed from the reports, they're hiding the truth. Nice try though.

I think it's hilarious that libtards need scientists to tell them that we have climate change. Shit, I been knowing about winter, spring, summer, and fall my whole life.

We are done with your settled scientists and your settled science.....

I'm curious. What is "settled" science? Do you have any examples?
