It is scientists who try to meddle in politics; politicians do not try

begging politicians and taxpayers to fund this, that, and the other pet

entirely alone. Why don't scientists get a job and earn their own
money, like the internet entrepreneaurs if they're so smart, and stop
robbing the taxpayers.

Already there are major federal government inroads being
paved into "secular" Atheistic academia. The big one, of
course, is 'ID', 'Intelligent Design', which theory will
soon be superimposed over the top of the orthodox theory
of 'Evolution' by ruling of the now (finally!) moderate-
to-conservative U.S. Supreme Court. Once that "Pandora's
Box" is opened against the formerly-controlling Atheists,
there'll be no turning back... :-D
Meanwhile, for example, and I quote Larry Kramer, dean of
Stanford Law: "No law school is going to continue to deny
the military access if it means putting the medical schools
and science departments out of business." [end quote]; in
regards to the recent ruling that the U.S. Military most
definitely CAN and SHALL recruit on college campuses lest
Uncle Sam cut all government funding of any Anti-American
universities off at their proverbial gonads!
Indeed, now that we control all three main branches of our
beloved United States Federal Government, we're overtaking
what the Liberal Atheists' hijacked ever since circa 1947,
by moving the USA toward the center of our ruling majority. :-D
Enjoy Life! (fillet a liberal for lunch)

The cases of politics directing science was a Soviet Socialist dogma.
This Lysenkosim
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko
Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (September 29, 1898-November 20, 1976) was a
Soviet biologist who, during the 1930s, led a campaign of agricultural
science, now known as Lysenkoism, which went explicitly against
contemporary agricultural genetics and lasted until the mid-1960s in
the USSR.
died a deserved death. There is no country in the world today where
the political leadership tells science how to interpret its results.
Politically directed interpretations have no place in science.
In the field of political philosophy there are no absolutes. Ideas
originating from the Greek philosophers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_philosophy
Classical (or "early") Greek philosophy focused on the role of reason
and inquiry. In many ways it paved the way both to modern science and
to modern philosophy. Clear unbroken lines of influence lead from
early Greek philosophers, through early Muslim philosophy to the
Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the secular sciences of the modern
day.
are as valid today as more than 2000 years ago. Don't mix up
philosophy with science.
