>> But the Republican Party has always been antiscience

You, YOURSELF, have criticized the first-rate science of "The Bell Curve", where your criticism was based totally on political, un-scientific principles. In fact, the ENTIRE LEFT criticized the book at the time on political rationale. Sometimes an effort was made to attack the science but the attacks almost consistently veered off track before addressing the findings head on. At least what I have seen of it.

It is about the best example I can think of (not the ONLY, but a good recent example) where the Left abdicated science for politics.

To be sure, this is found in both parties from time to time and no sensible person would claim otherwise (damn, I think you did, didn't you?)

At the current time I think the Left's transgressions against science far outweigh the Right's. (You should keep in mind that in the US while 7% of Republicans don't believe in God, only 15% of Democrats don't. Hence, if believing in God makes people unscientific, it is pretty close to being a tie.)

I call bullshit on your claims about the political parties. It seems you don't know either of them.
