There are real debates out there that are appropriate for this forum. How should we deal with terrorism? How to balance freedom and security? What is a necessary goverernment service? These are the questions we should be debating.
But when I see a few conservatives on Yahoo Answers claiming global warming is a vast left-wing conspiracy, or that evolution is a liberal plot, I'm disturbed.
If conservatives really want to be the anti-science party, I suppose that's their choice, but I have plenty of conservative friends who ARE scientists and are disgusted with this tendency in the party.
So, are my friends the exception, or are there more of you who believe in the ideals of conservatism but don't want to be associated with these folks who deny basic scientific principles?
