Oxymoron of the day: "Conservative scientist"
The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press surveyed 2,533 scientists and 2,000 non-scientists. It found that scientists overwhelmingly consider themselves liberals and Democrats:
23% of the public — but only 6% of scientists — call themselves “Republican.”
37% of the public — but only 9% of scientists — consider themselves “conservative.”
Apparently, using your brain to study facts for a living protects against the insanity of voting Republican.
It’s a shame education has been so severely dumbed down in America that many Americans can’t (or don’t) study the facts and draw conclusions independent of what corporate mouthpieces/blowhards like Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter tell them to believe.
