Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum charged on Monday that President Barack Obama and Democrats were anti-science because they refused to exploit the Earths natural resources to the limits of technology.
Over the weekend the candidate had been criticized for saying that President Barack Obama followed a theology that was not based on the Bible. He later insisted that he was talking about the president siding with radical environmentalists.
I accept the fact that the presidents a Christian, Santorum told CBS host Bob Schieffer on Sunday. I just said when you have world view that elevates the Earth above man and says that we cant take those resources because were going to harm the Earth like things that are not scientifically proven like the politicization of the whole global warming debate.
The candidate returned to the subject again on Monday at a rally in Steubenville, Ohio.

In 1980, he transmuted several thousand atoms of bismuth into gold at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. His experimental technique, using nuclear physics, was able to remove protons and neutrons from the bismuth atoms. Seaborg's technique would have been far too expensive to enable routine manufacturing of gold, but his work is the closest to the mythical Philosopher's Stone.

What a f'king putz!
Liberals use science and scientific data to temper technology so that it is used responsibly. What's so damned difficult to understand about that?

Centre-right parties in the rest of the developed world know that global warming is real, and man-made; it's only the US Republicans who come up with crap like "it's all a hoax to get more science funding" or "it's a leftist plot to socialize everything".
