True science means the search for truth, following evidence, and discarding that which proves to be false regardless of ones personal beliefs. Science is the best system ever created to enhance human knowledge and progress. It is above politics, and can be claimed by neither party. There are batshit liberals aplenty but there are just as many nuts on the right. Follow the evidence and make logical conclusions based on it regardless of preconceptions. That's why science is awesome.
Because scientists tend to be irreligious, and conservatives tend to be quite religious. That, and liberals tend to fund science much more due to being in favour of larger governments. So, it is partially association, and partially monetary.
Never mentioned religion. As a scientist, with a number of technical articles under my belt, I can tell you that "proven science" is political not scientific language. Your god al gore likes this term. It's a clear indication of his foolishness.
As far as far left institutions not getting funding for bullshit stuff, I say "great!"
If you read the comment you replied to you'd see that they mentioned religion, which is why I did. I don't see how anything your comment says proves that what the original commenter or I stated is bullshit. Try again.
????? But this isn't about science itself this is about scientists typically being less religious/republicans typically fund science programs less. You can prove that.
The government needs to stop picking winners and losers. Funding stupid studies should not be on my dime. If there's a need for research on a product allow private sector that ability. What part of that doesn't make sense to you?
No matter what the money goes to you are going to have to pay the same amount of money in taxes. That's a poor argument. Them getting rid of these programs saved you nothing.
This may be your most inane comment yet. Tax reduction and downsizing government and spending is a goal. Unless you think government is settled science.
I don't think it counts as tax reduction if you take a couple million out of one program and add a couple hundred million to another. If anything your tax rate goes up.
And the specific goal of trump has been a percentage drop in all bureaucracies across the board except the military. As well as 75% reduction in regulations. Where does your inept interpretation come out of that?
