I repeat for the deafer among the stupid lefties here: Doctorates are cheap. And they are frequently used by modern con men to fool liberals into giving them money. Perhaps YOU are a victim, in denial.

There are many good scientists who are NOT playing scams, and who did work hard for their doctorates. The con men you are supporting are a different story. An "original paper"? ROFLMAO: Say all the politically-correct things and the left wing in our corrupt academic institutions will CERTAINLY give you a doctorate. It isn't hard at all. There are PhD's running all over the world who should be stripped of their credential. Many of them are peddling global warming, animal rights, and anything else they can fool willing idiots like yourself with. You never even see it coming, do you? And whose fault is that? Yours or theirs? You wouldn't be a liberal if you could think-even a little bit. What a massive waste of breathable air you must be....

This one's for YOU . Nobody needs it more. You may be a fool ALL your life, but it won't be because you weren't given a chance... Today's science has created an entire class of frauds, targeting contributions and taxpayer grant money. Doctorates are cheap, and the modern version of the snake-oil salesman has a wall full of credentials. He uses his skills to get quoted by the dunderhead left wing media and, rather than defraud his victims face-to-face, he preys on the poorly-educated millions (Clinton's crowd) and the over-educated with a bone to pick with their society-through brainy sounding themes like "global warming" and "acid rain". These new skilled con men can hold forth for hours pumping their fraud. They publish books, AND EVEN OCCASIONALLY bamboozle the vastly-overrated Nobel Prize committee. Their greatest weapon today: Taking advantage of the anti-American sentiment spread by the aging Marxist/Leninist "establishment" media in Europe and the United States. Look at Europe's Luddite crusade against bio-engineered food. They are starting to starve Third World countries through this mass ignorance, backed by pseudo-scientific pump artists. It's all very sophisticated, but it's really the same old game: Make money preying on the ignorant. We are no longer isolated, illiterate farmers buying snake oil. But our situation is probably worse: We are illiterate, isolated, TV-watching suburbanites, subjected to hours of propaganda telling us that skepticism of "the experts" is unacceptable, therefore if WE tell you that man's filthy industry is the cause of global warming that will eventually destroy "the Earth", YOU DAMN WELL BETTER BELIEVE IT, because you're just a dumbass, and WE know everything. Effective, yes. The modern snake oil salesmen have fooled a lot of liberal people, and made a lot of liberal dollars. But is that the end of the story? No. As in earlier times, fraud will be exposed. The coming American renaissance will purge academia of it's Marxist/Leninist corruption, and will sweep out the global warming snake oil salesmen along with the "kill America first" crowd. We're gonna need a LOT of tar and feathers over the next few years...
