Do you believe in science? Do you respect probability? If you go into a doctor's office with a red spot on your face and 99 doctors tell you have cancer, and one says you don't, who are you going to believe? Why is it do you think that in the scientific community only 6% of top scientists are Republicans, 51% are liberals and 80% lean Democratic? Why do you think that is? Are they all bought and paid for, or stupid? Only Six Percent Of Scientists Are Republicans: Pew Poll huffingtonpost.com My son-in-law, is a pretty world-famous research scientist into climate with a PhD degree from UC Irving in atmospheric chemistry, and teaches physics and does research at a major North Western University. He is also as honest as the days is long. When I asked him how many of the top scientist in the world believe in man-made global warming, he said essentially all of them. All of them. Yet the Republican Party does not believe in it. How is that possible? How is that smart? The Republican Party doesn't even believe in evolution! Evolution is taught as fact in every major university in the world and is reproduced many times a day in the lab. There is not a bit of theory in it, it is absolute hard-core 100% percent fact. But the Republican Party does not believe it! How is that smart? Saul Alinsky is considered one of the great social scientists and community organizers that ever lived. He devoted his life to helping the poor. And yet you vilify him! He is taught as a great humanitarian at most major universities in the world. He was a good man that has been demonized by the right wing plutocrats and the rank-and-file Republicans because the rich do not want to pay taxes to help the poor and have fooled many poor into believing nonsense. People that hate Alinsky have absolutely no idea what his work was about. Those who did respected him So do we believe those who know what he did, or those that don't? If you think the average Trump supporter understands Alinsky I have a bridge I will sel yu0 :)>. But I do, because I have lived my life as a social scientist. Trump supporters, by and large, hate what they do not understand.
