More Republican science sought:

DECEMBER 12, 2010
A Scientific Investigation into Science
Slate's provocative essay by Daniel Sarewitz on why Republicans are unrepresented in science continues to ripple through the Internet.

Various answers are given and several have merit, but the strongest real reason is that contemporary science as taught in government supported universities (which is almost all of them) implicitly supports the ideological viewpoint of the left--since that supplies the money and is resistant to normative influences from tradition--and it is pervasively prejudiced against the kind of students found on the right, especially religious believers. A large share of America is cut off from science in universities on that account, and American science is the poorer for it. Now try studying that.

Professors are Democrats or even Marxists!

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Some are, some are as conservative as all fuck. One of my favorite professors at Purdue was an editor of The Marxist Review. We did tend to have frisky discussions. Another actually attended Moscow University. I didn't like him much.

Biologist failure makes news!

Lönnig's publications show that experimental research on plant breeding can have positive implications for intelligent design. A 2007 paper by Lönnig and three co-authors in Bioremediation, Biodiversity and Bioavailability attempted to trace the evolutionary history of two taxa of flowering plants that evolutionary biologists believe to be closely related. The authors used mutagenesis experiments in an attempt to cause the plants' traits to revert to a more "primitive" form. They were unable to do so.

I made a falsifiable prediction when I read this post, namely that such a "spin" on this story must mean that "evolutionnews" is a sneakily-named ID site.

I feel my computer needs a ritual cleansing after visiting such a cesspit of lies.

Oh, and I hadn't read the OP beforehand
