When Politics Gets In the Way Of The Science -- The American Cancer Society (ACS)
Unlike those who deny that man contributes dangerously to Global Warming, the ACS has denied science. The ACS has allowed the politics of caring to get in the way of what is best.. Whereas the deniers of man made contributions to GW have denied or ignored the science for ideological and political gains, the ACS has allowed the politics of caring to get in the way of what is best, but it stinks just as much. The politics, whether one of caring or one of shilling for Big Oil or big anybody else is what will destroy the USA from within. How?
From the right, we will inevitably see attacks against the American Cancer Society as somehow pushing a liberal agenda. Right wing attacks launched in order to puff up the smoke screen around right wing attempts to keep science in the political arena. Right wing attacks launched to push a narrative that is made up of false comparisons. There is nothing politically liberal, or ideologically liberal about the ACS's agenda. It is the politics or caring. Call it progressive if one must, but it is in no way liberal
Mixing science with the politics of caring, or mixing science with the ideology of protecting the economy from imagined conspiracies of most of the world suck no matter where one is coming from.
Stop mixing science with politics
