Ad homenim attacks arent argumentation (anti science).
And I submit that Leftwingers are anti science, facts, reason, and truth....in pursuit of their utopian visions.
Here is the anti Science Left in action....(and we havent even gotten to abortion yet!)
Quote:
The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages.
Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty "decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data."
The EPA official, Al McGartland, said in an e-mail message (PDF) to a staff researcher on March 17: "The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward...and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision."
The e-mail correspondence raises questions about political interference in what was supposed to be an independent review process inside a federal agency--and echoes criticisms of the EPA under the Bush administration, which was accused of suppressing a pro-climate change document.
Alan Carlin, the primary author of the 98-page EPA report, said in a telephone interview on Friday that his boss, McGartland, was being pressured himself. "It was his view that he either lost his job or he got me working on something else," Carlin said. "That was obviously coming from higher levels."

I can also cite at least 2 top state meteorology officials who were demoted or removed from duty for being Anthropogenic or otherwise Global Warming skeptics. Anti science anyone.

No, that's a ridiculous assertion. Rather, reactionaries refuse to acknowledge science, and so they claim that any entity that embraces factual scientific truth is "liberal".

Again, that's a ridiculous assertion.
Do you have anything of value to contribute?

Oh brother. Another ridiculous assertion. You're basically wasting bandwidth, given that you have nothing worthwhile to contribute.

I would hope either side of the political arena look at facts and not their warm fuzzy feelings. Science has never been able to supply facts to disprove religious writings. And what might the cause be, that demands facts over double talk?

Closed. I'm beginning to think we can't handle political discussions here at the forum.
