the right has a war on science? I was not aware of that. I think you're projecting.

Probably because you are not in a scientific field. I am. Yes, the "right" -most notably the Bush administration - indeed had "a war on science". No additional grants for anyone under the Bush administration, no matter what their answers were.

And thank goodness that's over and done with now. One of the major reasons I voted for Obama.

no it's probably because I have a better grip on reality than you do. there was no war on science. that's a political characterization used by the left to paint the right all as bible thumpers who don't believe in science. obviously you've fallen for it.

No, I only need to look at the truth of it: the documentable lack of our governments support and funding for science, across all fields, during the past 8 years.

That has nothing at all to do with "bible thumpers", "the right", or "the left".

BTW, the sciences are objective fields. There's little to no "belief in science" involved. It exists no matter what some people "believe". Just like climate change.
