Obama's lies about science funding exposed

[reality_hammer]

Obama's attempt to portray Republicans as anti-science fails.
But the picture is far more complex than just a line sloping down from President Reagan to President Bush.

Truth is, since peaking in 1964, federal funding on sciences as a percentage of GDP has gone down under every President, Democratic or Republican, except for Ronald Reagan.

Your willingness to take human life doesn't make anyone else anti-science.

Pointing out that your assumptions didn't lock me into the position you wish I held...goes right over your head.

*pats you on said head*

This is too easy

Psssst: you actually have to "pwn" someone once before you can get "into" the practice.

In typical "spinmeister" fashion you admit that I'm right:
Of Course the GOP is pro-science when you look at the amount of funding those programs got when adjusted for inflation against the real value pinned to the gold standard

...before furiously spinning so your world view doesn't have to change:
the only thing that matters is how much money you have and can invest!

Clue: yes, that's right, when you compare funding you use...money! *eyeroll*

Actually, RH, we fund science with dead protestant babies.

(and if anyone REALLY understands that reference, I'll be impressed... and, no... it's not about stem cells)

Mmm. I guess you know all about diseases, what with the Asperger's and everything. So now you're an expert on all mental illnesses.

ROCK ON!

Ooh! Ooh! I know the answer! I know the answer!

Good grief, the lameness masquerading as trolling here is sad. Some trolls manage their shenanigans with a level of cleverness and style that turns conversations more absurd as more people jump in. This is just some teenager level arrogance slinging crap everywhere and telling itself that it's clever.

You're giving the individual too much credit. Teens everywhere have been insulted.
