Science Demands Big Government - Dennis Prager - National Review Online

Science Demands Big Government - Dennis Prager - National Review Online: "Whereas until now the democratic Left has attempted to persuade humanity that left-wing policies are inherently progressive, this Harvard professor has gone a huge step farther. Left-wing policies are scientifically based. This is exactly how the Soviet Communists defended their totalitarian system. Everything they advocated was naoochni, “scientific.”
To differ with the Left is not only definitionally sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, and bigoted (SIXHIRB, as I have labeled it) — it is now against science itself."

This is one of the big reasons I'm not inclined to concede that partisans reject "facts" in reaching their conclusions. People are way to eager to declare their personal political philosophy to be scientific truth.
