The Conservative Attack On Sanity And Science Is Insane.

Rush Limbaugh is not a scientist. But his under educated listeners and his diminishing congregation of men and women who are not critical thinkers hang on to his every word about science as if he were. In spite of the research done by legitimate scientists, Rush relentlessly lies to his public about global warming. He would have them believe that global warming is a hoax. But Rush is just a business man playing to the prejudices and fears of his audience, most of whom apparently are not critical thinkers or very intelligent.

Marco Rubio, Republican Senator from Florida, recently wrote an op-ed piece in which he alleges President "Obama fails the middle class". The op-ed was replete with emotional tributes to Miami, Florida, Mr Rubio's neighbors, and the contributions small businesses make to the American economy. Unfortunately, like most Republicans and their conservative pundit cohorts in illusion and pain, either Mr Rubio does not have a mirror or refuses to look in one. In 2010, Marco Rubio was elected to represent the State of Florida in the U.S. Senate. After reading Mr Rubio's piece, one wonders where the senator from Florida has... Read more →
