Politicizing Science

An anonymous reader writes: "The Washington Post has a story about the government's efforts to remove independent scientific review boards and replace them with officials that match the views of administration. This includes careless elimination of life-saving safety regulations in gene-therapy to help specific business interests and hiring based on political views such as stem cell research and cloning. Is this wrong? Or do those with power get to do whatever they want?"

  1. People will back this president anywhere! by alexhmit01 · · Score: 1, Troll

    He's created a real bond with the American people. Unlike Clinton, who created a morbid fascination with his goings on, people really try Pres. Bush. While your self-appointed intellectuals may hate him (because Clinton was a brilliant man, however flawed, and Bush is simply above-average), the American people have a leader that they believe it. This is the first President since Reagan that the people really believe in.

    If he said that they were going to make decisions without turning it over to "eggheads", they'd get a lot of support.

    The republican base LOVES this president. And the swing voters in middle America love this president.

    He will be reelected regardless of what the urban intellectual elites think.

    Oh yeah. There you go again, bringing logic into the argument. This is manifestly unfair, since the politics of Bush and the Republicans is the politics of non-sequitor and paranoia. How dare you try to analyze it logically? We live in Bizarro world with Bizarro president. Why don't you just get with the program? Or are you some kind of terrorist?

    Hi there you fucking communist career academic. You suck. You aide and abet terror and death. You are partially responsible for the deaths of other fellow men. For this fratricide you shall pay dearly. Your soul is black with the stains of inaction, ineptitude and sympathies to those who walk the dark side. Your foul life is full of sins, not religious, just henious, your karma is low, you dont confess, and you arent in prison where you belong. You are your own dark, kept secret. I see through you, the worthless academic, the psuedo intellectual, the unproven unpublished un patented WASTE OF FUCKING FLESH. YOua re a drain on society, you are a member of the 1st world but pretend to not be. I hate you, you are a stained man.

    Hi clitoris chopper, october_30th supports clitoris carving. You are Islamic, and of course are a fucking animal. I hate you you pull-start camel jockey lover. Towelheads, Camel Jockies, Sand Niggers, Ackmids, Abeebs, Carpet Flyers, Dune Coons, Rag Heads, Sand Scratchers, Habeebs, Abba-Dabbas, Camel-Humpers, Demi-niggers, Fig-Gobblers, Hucka-luckas (hucka hlacka ghalcka ghugh), Lefties (If you steal, you lose the right hand so, since they are thieves...) Ocnods, Pull-Start-ables (imagine pull starting Ossama's dirty rag like a Briggs and Stratton), Roach-Ranchers (habibs cant kill roaches by a tenant of Is-slum), Sand Moolies.

    Shut up all you dirty fucking islamic pigfucking swinehundts and the pigs, like October the 30th, the communist fuckig Islamic terrorist supporter.

    Take your fucking Koran and cram it up your ass. The sooner the earth sees Islam leave it, the better off it will be. Your Koran is Goat Piss.

    I hope if there is a God and a Hell, you have to drink the liquidy shit from a Pig's ass, and Jewish Rabbis defecate on you.

    I hate the stupid ISLAM fucks who read into the trash they come up with. Saddam Hussein [who needs to take a dirt nap] is higher on my sanity list than fucking Muslim "clerics." In fact, I like Saddam more than most of the other Arab leaders because he is secular. We should fucking nuke the Saudis and Mecca and Medina and turn it into rubble, then tell Saddam to remove the heads of all the buttfucking "royalty" in the area.

    I want to wipe my ass with Mohammad's shroud. I want to grind his body up into bone meal and fertilize my garden with it.

    Our tortured dead scream out in HORROR, asking for vengeance:
    1. Kill all Camel Jockeys.
    2. Kill all Mohammedans.
    3. Kill all Dune Coons.
    4. Kill all Rag Heads.
    5. Kill all Towelheads.
    6. Kill all Arabs.
    7. Kill all Camel Rooters.
    8. Kill all Osama Bin Laden supporters.

    Nuke their countries to hell.
    Nuke them again.
    Death to Islam.

    I piss on Mecca. I wipe my ass with the Koran. I shit upon Mohammed. I wipe the cum for a freshly fucked pussy with Mohammed's shroud then throw it in the pig sty so it can mire in pig shit as it decomposes.
