The Results Of “Restoring The Scientific Process To Its Rightful Place”

Remember when President Obama announced that now he was going to restore science to its rightful place? That was one of those comments that nobody has any idea exactly what it meant but by golly it sure sounded good. Granted, in this particular reference, he was referring to action being taken on the Endangered Species Act, but most feel it was also a message to Americans that it also implied all scientific aspects of his administration.

Evidently we are getting a taste of what Obama meant. Back when he made the statement, I asked whose science was he planning to restore? Maybe he is planning to restore the science, if that’s what you want to call it, of his newly appointed “Science Czar”, John Holdren.

For those who might not know anything about Holdren, he is a former professor of environmental study at Harvard. He also suggests that forced sterilization through adding things to our drinking water or food supply would be a good thing, or that requiring all babies born illegitimately be forced into adoption. Put him together with Obama’s pick to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, a man who believes animals should have a right to sue, and we’ve got the makings of a dynamic duo.

Holdren’s science, I guess, must be science that Obama agrees with. And if that’s not enough, then let’s require all women to take a sterilizing implant and only be allowed to have babies when the government approves.

Pretty far fetched isn’t it. And some of you probably think that believing this is as weird and far out as Glenn Beck. What’s troubling though is that when people talk of Obama being a radical, it is all too often denied. But what is to be said about a man who surrounds himself with these kinds of people? Do not birds of a feather flock together or is just certain species of birds?

It’s equally troubling that a president is picking all these so-called czars. They are unelected, appointed by the president and answer only to the president, yet he gives them all kinds of power. They are exempt from the control of Congress or we the people.

It would be my guess that Obama’s idea of “restoring science to its rightful place” is on the same par with “hope and change”. It all sounds really swell boys and girls but in truth, none of us have any idea what he’s talking about until we begin to do a bit of digging to find out more about a man and who he selects to surround himself with and get advice from.

I don’t know about you, but I find that quite scary.
