Conservative ideology drastically slows down scientific/technological innovation

[francolettieri]

Everyone agree with me? Conservative ideology slows down innovation by many ways....

1. Drastically cutting funding directly to research and development
2. Screwing up education through spending cuts and teaching religious ideology instead of science
3. Cutting government funding to Embryonic Stem Cell research

When innovation slows down, it impacts our economy and we start to depend more on other countries that don't have the conservative religious and economic hang ups this country has.

I have come to believe that potential groundbreaking lifesaving treatments for devastating diseases such as Cancer/Aids/Diabetes/Muscular Dystrophy....will be take far longer to be discovered the more conservatives hold power.

And on a slightly different topic, it ticks me off to hear the George W Bush Library raised 500 million dollars as opposed to only 165 million dollars for Bill Clinton's library. Sick!!! what a waste of money.

2. Why don't all scientific agencies/publications become strictly partisian and endorse democrats

[longship]

3. Because we have a Republican House of Reps.

And we may have a Republican Senste and/or a Republican White House some day.

Also, there are probably more than a few Republican scientists.

But other than those things, I would certainly agree with your idea. It is kind of brilliant. Really! It would draw a line that the Republicans would go crazy about denying, but then everybody would know what's what. I'd start by mentioning evolution. Hahahaha!!!

4. Everybody knows the TRUTH has a very Liberal Bias

Science is nothing if not about the TRUTH....They don't have to be partisan, republicans do enough of that....
