Default "socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton

To steer this back to the earlier issue, science is an effort to
understand the nature of things in order to provide working tools.
Engineering takes those tools and creates those things that support
our society and by extension our economy. So, a president that has no
understanding of science, or worse, can't tell the difference between
science and religion will only do further harm to this country than
the current anti-intellectual and his faithful followers have done.
Any candidate that claims that they can maintain anti-scientific
beliefs (such as they're not being a primate), yet can turn the
downward trend in this country around is simply lying to us.


Well put.

Good luck finding anyone amongst the current set of presidential
candidates who passes this litmus test while also offering a workable
political platform. My preliminary research shows that this candidate
does not yet exist.


Shouldn't you be scrubbing some toilets?
