> What attacks on science have the Democrats launched?

Far more important ones than any supposed "attacks" from the Right.

For example, liberals totally ignore the science of B. F. Skinner, which told us years ago that if you give people money not to work, you'll get more people not working. With some frequency, I hear liberals totally ignore this absolute fact (Pete Dominick's favorite response to the claim is, "I just don't believe that.") Science, indeed.

Liberals totally discount math, and the related topic of actuarial science, which tells us that SS and Medicare WILL collapse, inevitably, unless benefit eligibility dates are revised to take into account the growth of another area of science liberals conveniently ignore, medicine, which keeps people alive on average 20 years longer than it did 60 years ago -- and the rate of change in which is likely to become increasingly nonlinear over the coming few decades.

In fact, most liberals today cannot comprehend the differences among various orders of magnitude. Liberal idol Jon Stewart doesn't understand the different between the "deficit" and the "national debt". You and Al have both shown in the last week that you cannot comprehend that materials for 3d printing will, in the coming several years, be able to support manufacturing of workable weapons. That's really absurd when you think about it.

You guys carefully pick the "science" you believe in.
