Continuing to Put Science in its Rightful Place, Firmly Under the Progressives Thumbs

As you may recall, one of the common criticisms of President George Bush was that he ignored science (i.e. global warming), which was also one of the bases for the many attacks on his intelligence. As part of his inaugural address, President Obama took a direct swipe at this perception saying that his administration would restore science to its rightful place.

The problem is, progressives such as our President and the current Democratic leadership believe that science is only correct if it agrees with their own perception. How many times have we heard "the time for denial is over", or its like? How many times have we heard people like Al Gore compare global warming skeptics "deniers", (though he compares the term to describing those who think the moon landing was faked, I believe that it is a term directly meant to raise an association with those who deny the Holocaust ever occurred)? Or do you remember Al Gore's more direct Nazi comparisons to global warming skeptics, and do you think I may be right about the "deniers" comment in light of this?

You may also remember the numerous times that the Administration has said no serious disagreement could exist from its economic policies such as the "stimulus" package. We'll ignore the voluminous mounds of bullshit about jobs created or saved (including in congressional districts that don't even exist) by the "stimulus" package as there is no need to pile on here.

In yet another example of the intolerance of dissent from progressives, the White House has placed a gag order on the Environmental Protection Agency to prevent negative comments on the potential Cap and Trade legislation. These people aren't trying to make sure that we are acting on good science, they are zealots, protecting a religion that makes no sense. The science isn't the religion, it is the politics that make up the articles of faith. The bad science that can be used to support it is just a justification to enforce the precepts of the progressive politics on everyone else. Pope Obama....or as Charles Krauthammer sarcastically called him, the baby Jesus, the head of the church of progressivism.
