Santorum Calls Democrats 'Anti-Science'
ndogg writes with news that Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has counterattacked those critical of conservative views on science, saying that they're 'anti-science' themselves. From a CBS report:
"In his remarks Monday, Santorum went beyond his usual discussion of the importance of increasing domestic energy production to deliver a blistering attack on environmental activists. He said global warming claims are based on 'phony studies,' and that climate change science is little more than 'political science.' His views are not 'anti-science' as Democrats claim, Santorum said. 'When it comes to the management of the Earth, they are the anti-science ones. We are the ones who stand for science, and technology, and using the resources we have to be able to make sure that we have a quality of life in this country and (that we) maintain a good and stable environment,' he said to applause, and cited local ordinances to reduce coal dust pollution in Pittsburgh during the heyday of coal mining."
Careful with your spelling. Pot, kettle, all that.

So what are you saying: that republicans and creationists are still at the intellectual level of cavemen ?
In other news, the irony meter was destroyed in a freak explosion earlier today.
"People don't want to learn linux" hasn't been a valid excuse since '03.
It's good to see a heavyweight intellectual like Rick Santorum weighing in on a complex environmental question. I think we can call "problem solved" on this one.
Somebody ought to ask Rick about global overpopulation. I bet he could solve that problem too! He'll just say "It's God's will. There's no overpopulation." Another problem solved.
Maybe Rick can solve all our complicated problems for us--so we don't have to think at all!!

Please stop insulting cavemen.
Only to idiots, are orders laws.

That's not fair. There aren't any cavemen around to defend themselves against such insulting accusations.
I know you're joking, but I think that is more like almost imperceptibly grey pot calling the carbon nanotube kettle black -- there is a big difference between someone who makes a typo and Rick Santorum -- he is simply a frothy black hole of stupidity.
To the haters: You can't win. If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine
To properly understand scripture, you must read it in the way that it was written. The genesis creation story is an allegory, and not meant to be taken literally.
Fine. I have no problem with god as an allegory. It's the idiots that think there really is a god I have a problem with.
How dare you talk like that about Santa Claus!
I have seen Miracle on 34th Street several times, and it clearly says otherwise. It was written by someone who's name I don't know many years before I was born, so why would I have any reason to doubt it?
Athens, yes, I'm certainly an atheist but I have no trouble believing in the capital of Greece.
Not only is he from the party that brought you Intelligent Design, he is the candidate that epitomizes anti-science..
He wants to call Democrats anti-science, fine with me. As long as we are engaging in irrational nonsensical twisting of the language, I will call him anti-religion.
His anti-religious views seek to crush all that is true and good about God. Everything he says is Jeblasphmey (New word I just made up, from Jesus and Blasphemy) His Jeblasphmey is also santic (deliberate, not a spelling error) because he worships the anti-santa (also deliberate, spelling Nazis GTFO). May the good lord protect us from Jeblasphmey and smite this anti-religionist in his Santorum hole.
Conservative idiots have been befouling clear thought and rational language for decades now, why should this fuck-up be any different?
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
common sense tells me it's turtles all the way down
My God can beat up your God. Just kidding...don't take offense. I know there's no God.
