Koan,
Liberals have no trouble defending what they say as they just follow the science.
No, they always claim that science backs them up without mentioning anything specific.

But every time they try to be specific, they get shot down. Once that happens, they react by using ad hominem attacks, appeals to emotion, and every other logical fallacy they (think they) can get away with.

That is not true. Rat and others post scientific studies constantly. What you say is pure nonsense.

How about this?

A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that the GOP is alienating scientists to a startling degree.

Only six percent of America's scientists identify themselves as Republicans; fifty-five percent call themselves Democrats. By comparison, 23 percent of the overall public considers itself Republican, while 35 percent say they're Democrats.

The ideological discrepancies were similar. Nine percent of scientists said they were "conservative" while 52 percent described themselves as "liberal," and 14 percent "very liberal." The corresponding figures for the general public were 37, 20 and 5 percent.

Among the general public, moderates and independents ranked higher than any party or ideology. But among scientists, there were considerably more Democrats (55%) than independents (32%) and Republicans (6%) put together. There were also more liberals (52%) than moderates (35%) and conservatives (9%) combined.

"These results were not a complete surprise," said Scott Keeter
