The Republicans’ war on science and reason

[California Girl]

Post your evidence and quit distracting.

Find your own damn links fucktard. I've given you all facts in this thread. You claim to be scientifically endowed but don't even know these basics?

You've been thoroughly bitch slapped with facts. I suggest you find some of your own the next time you want to pick a fight on a subject you know NOTHING about.

You tapped out, I accept your admission that you have provided no facts.

Get a clue.... quoting the spin from the media is not 'providing facts'. Idiot.

 

[Listening]

Cool! Another fictitious 'war' from the left.

Tell me the Republican positions of global warming/climate change? Do they believe it or not believe it?

There is no Republican Position on climate change with regards to belief. Only that it isn't going to be a factor in making economic decisions.

How'se that for ya ?

Why would have a position. Al Gore said the debate was over. And he was right. It was over. Only he didn't realize he had lost.

 

[patrickt]

Cool! Another fictitious 'war' from the left.

Tell me the Republican positions of global warming/climate change? Do they believe it or not believe it? Romney is the instigator of fictitious wars, like his false accusation waging war against women,

I don't think the Republicans have a position on global warming. I would suspect most Republicans believe the climate changes constantly. I doubt many believe that global warming is caused by Republicans and the solution is to tax everyone into poverty. That's the liberals' "scientific" position. Right up there with humand-caused earthquakes.

 

[Uncensored2008]

So if you are right then who stands to gain from claiming that we have man-made climate change? A bunch of geek scientists on salary from universities who have made massive cut-backs in the last 5 years?

Are you fucking stupid?

I mean, of course you are, you're an Obama supporter.

The AGW scam is hundreds of billions each year. The grant whores certainly make a tidy penny. Open rip-offs like Solyndra and other "greed, opps, green" frauds. The massive amount Archer Daniels Midland pulls in from mandated Ethanol.

On down the line. This is a sweet scam for frauds of all walks.

Green technology in the U.S. which doesn't even exist? Who?

It doesn't exist, but we pump billions of dollars into it, which wind up in the pockets of Gore and Obama cronies.

Because the simple rule of Occam's Razor applies here: " It is a principle urging one to select among competing hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions and thereby offers the simplest explanation of the effect."

The simplest explanation is the right one - this is fraud perpetrated by scum and backed by the abysmally stupid who imagine that commenting on beauty of the emperors new clothes makes them appear wise and learned.

 

[Listening]

Scientific facts are backed up by physical evidence and experimentation. This is a message board and these posters are opining. Can you not discern between the two?

Either the scientific facts are backed up by physical evidence or they are supported by contrived data introduced by liberals trying to tax the world for breathing.

Liberalism is a mental disorder!

Man, what an ad-hominem, scientific data from NASA says that fossil fuel burning does have an effect on the ozone layer, is NASA liberal and leftist?

NASA needs a reason to exist.

It does not serve their interest to say "Nothing is wrong".

You would have thought you knew that from your trumped up Health Care Crisis and it's place in the ObamaCare propaganda bombings.

 

[asaratis]

Some of us understand science, Charlie... it's not infallible... it's morons like you who think science is a 'fix all' for everything... it isn't.

You might want to look up the word theory. Just an idea.

You realized you just contradicted yourself right? Look up the word science, almost everything you do involved science.

Bass, Cal Girl made a real ass of herself when she said the prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case declined a grand jury because "Zimmerman is innocent". We all know what happened next. Tolstoy was right about arguing with idiots.

In case you haven't noticed, we're talking about science, not Trayvon and the prosecutors.

Get a fuckin' grip on reality!

 

[Bass v 2.0]

Science says pollution affects the climate by putting holes in the ozone layer, will you deny this scientific fact?

No science doesn't say that, retard. Not even Algore supports that theory.

Typical. Now qualify it! Yes, NASA says that but here is the staggering amount it effects same: 6%

Get a grip.

The Republicans’ war on science and reason - The Washington Post


Last month, Washington Post columnist Steve Pearlstein wrote that if you wanted to come up with a bumper sticker that defined the Republican Party’s platform it would be this: “Repeal the 20th century. Vote GOP.” With their unrelenting attempts to slash Social Security, end Medicare and Medicaid and destroy the social safety net, Republicans are, indeed, on a quest of reversal. But they have set their sights on an even bolder course than Pearlstein acknowledges in his column: It’s not just the 20th century they have targeted for repeal; it’s the 18th and 19th too.

The 18th century was defined, in many ways, by the Enlightenment, a philosophical movement based on the idea that reason, rational discourse and the advancement of knowledge, were the critical pillars of modern life. The leaders of the movement inspired the thinking of Charles Darwin, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin; its tenets can be found in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. But more than 200 years later, those basic tenets — the very notion that facts and evidence matter — are being rejected, wholesale, by the 21st-century Republican Party.


I never understood this obsession to deny and distort the reality of science.

It's not like it was a good century, dealing with all the leftist troublemakers.
Communists, Socialists, Fascists, Global Warmists.....

And what about layoffs in 'Green Tech'?

From Apollo 8:

Reading from Genesis:​

Bill Anders:
"We are now approaching lunar sunrise and, for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.​

Jim Lovell :​

"And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.​

Frank Borman:
"And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth."​

~Apollo 8- December 24, 1968​

Reread my posts jackass. This time take off you partisan glasses and the facts will magically appear.

 

[Bass v 2.0]

So science in all of its existence is a liberal plot to raise taxes? Why aren't Republitards living like the Amish with no electricity and no modern advances?

A opinion piece by a liberal Obama supporter really does not mean anything to anyone other than a rabid partisan. By the way you guy's need to come up with something other that Republican war on whatever that one is getting really stale.

 

[Bass v 2.0]

HUNTSMAN: I think there's a serious problem. The minute that the Republican Party becomes the party – the anti-science party, we have a huge problem. We lose a whole lot of people who would otherwise allow us to win the election in 2012. When we take a position that isn't willing to embrace evolution, when we take a position that basically runs counter to what 98 of 100 climate scientists have said, what the National Academy of Science – Sciences has said about what is causing climate change and man's contribution to it, I think we find ourselves on the wrong side of science, and, therefore, in a losing position.
The Republican Party has to remember that we're drawing from traditions that go back as far as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, President Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and Bush. And we've got a lot of traditions to draw upon. But I can't remember a time in our history where we actually were willing to shun science and become a – a party that – that was antithetical to science. I'm not sure that's good for our future and it's not a winning formula.
