Well, all this is interesting to me, anyway, and that's what matters here. The Internet is a terrible thing for someone like me, who finds almost everything interesting.

Six of the dumbest ideas politicians have about science
Depressing, isn't it? And it's not as though every liberal is a staunch supporter of science. I wish that were true. But by and large, the Democratic Party does accept reality, while the Republican Party does not.
Anti-science thinking on the left tends to be among those with relatively little political power. And most of it - like anti-GMO activism or the 'natural foods' fad - is not restricted to the left, but tends to be more of a bipartisan thing. Heck, there are liberals who are anti-vaccine, too. Scientific ignorance isn't a monopoly of the right.
But only on the right has scientific ignorance gained political power in America, and that's a real problem.
