Is the right wing's reputation for being anti science and anti education justified?

PRINCETON, NJ -- The majority of Republicans in the United States do not believe the theory of evolution is true and do not believe that humans evolved over millions of years from less advanced forms of life. This suggests that when three Republican presidential candidates at a May debate stated they did not believe in evolution, they were generally in sync with the bulk of the rank-and-file Republicans whose nomination they are seeking to obtain.

Majority of Republicans Doubt Theory of Evolution


Of those who identify as Republicans, about 49 percent said in the 2001 Gallup survey that they believe the effects of global warming have already begun – a number that dropped to 29 percent in 2010. Meanwhile, the percentage of Democrats who believe global warming has already begun increased from about 60 in 2001 to 70 in 2010. All told, the gap between these “believers” in the two parties increased from 11 percent in 2001 to 41 percent in 2010.

A similar trend held for people who identify as either conservative or liberal. When it came to believing that global warming has already begun, the gap between conservatives and liberals increased from about 18 percent in 2001 to 44 percent in 2010.

Among liberals and Democrats, having a college degree increases the likelihood of reporting beliefs consistent with the scientific consensus. Yet, among conservatives and Republicans, having a college degree often decreases the likelihood of reporting such beliefs.

House GOP Unveils Plan To Cut Job Training And Education Programs

Republicans target health, education for cuts

Then you start going state by state and you get these types of reports:

Senate Republicans pass $30 million cut to higher education | The Daily

A Closer Look: After Gutting Health And Education Funding, Idaho Republicans Advanc Bill To Cut Top Tax Rate And Corporate Tax

Guided by their tough position against taxes, and spurred on by what they saw as voter distaste toward big government, Republicans in many states made deep cuts, sometimes even when they had other options available. An expected $4 billion cut to public schools in Texas, for instance, comes despite the state having more than $6 billion in its rainy-day fund.

In an era of one-party rule, Republicans pass a sweeping state agenda

Honestly, I don't know what else to say. So called "liberal" science has brought us ALL of our "useful" science. Conservative science? Not sure what that is. You can find entire organizations online with "black scientists" generating an interest in science among you blacks, the same with gays and women.

But "conservative" science and scientists? Couldn't find one and I looked.

So does the right wing deserve this devastating reputation? Seems likely.

[rdean]

So I'm guessing your answer is "yes"?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Conservatives are opposed to science and education only when what is being researched or taught conflicts with rightist dogma. The same is true, of course, with regard to their relationship concerning law and public policy.

2a. Freudian Projection

The following is a collection of definitions of projection from orthodox psychology texts. In this system the distinct mechanism of projecting own unconscious or undesirable characteristics onto an opponent is called Freudian Projection.

"A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept. It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."

"The externalisation of internal unconscious wishes, desires or emotions on to other people. So, for example, someone who feels subconsciously that they have a powerful latent homosexual drive may not acknowledge this consciously, but it may show in their readiness to suspect others of being homosexual."

• "Attributing one's own undesirable traits to other people or agencies, e.g., an aggressive man accuses other people of being hostile."
  
• "The individual perceives in others the motive he denies having himself. Thus the cheat is sure that everyone else is dishonest. The would-be adulterer accuses his wife of infidelity."
  
• "People attribute their own undesirable traits onto others. An individual who unconsciously recognises his or her aggressive tendencies may then see other people acting in an excessively aggressive way."
  
• "Projection is the opposite defence mechanism to identification. We project our own unpleasant feelings onto someone else and blame them for having thoughts that we really have."

What's this now...four times that you've started this same thread?

It's stupid, Deanie and does ZERO to change anyone's mind about who they're going to vote for next November. This election isn't about the theory of evolution it's about fiscal policy that makes sense. As a conservative agnostic...who the hell CARES about evolution? I'm worried about our economy sliding back into recession...the millions of Americans who have been out of work for so long that they've burned up their lives savings...an energy "policy" that encourages higher gas and electricity prices...and a health care "reform" that is going to add trillions to our national debt while lowering the quality of care. To be quite blunt with you...I COULDN'T CARE LESS IF OUR PRESIDENT THINKS WE'RE EVOLVED FROM LITTLE PURPLE MEN FROM PLANET STYGIAN IF HE CAN FIX WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE COUNTRY. You on the other hand, want to give another four years to a man who ran out of solutions six months after he entered office.
