>> Conservatives generally deny science and embrace religion.

There is no support for this claim. It is the Left, exclusively, going around saying "97% of scientists agree" -- which is about as anti-science as you can get.

AS to religion you really can't ignore other demographics when looking at it. For example, blacks lean traditionally Democrat, but are almost all religious. At the same time there are a lot of fiscal conservatives like myself who aren't really religious at all. There is about a 10 point difference, IIRC, between R & D embracement of religion. That really suggests little more "embracing religion" by conservatives vs. liberals.

There are tons of examples of liberals only embracing the science they choose to embrace, and ignoring the others. For example, it is difficult to find a liberal who will admit that higher minimum wages increase unemployment, yet we know without any question that it does. Liberals will not admit that giving away free stuff to the masses at taxpayer expense causes dependency. Yet, that science was proved by numerous important scientists over the the last couple hundred years. What about THAT science?

GMOs. You get this all the time -- liberals are CONVINCED that GMOs are causing all kinds of sickness and other problems, yet it clearly isn't the truth.

Liberals as a group embrace only the science that supports your political views.
