I just wish for once that one of these clowns would get the terminology correct. I guess my expectations of a Texas A&M grad are too high.
Are you and Foxton married? if not, I wouldn't let him get away. I repeat, do you ever offer anything here other than snark and smirk? There are plenty of A&M grads who'd be happy to hire you to mow their lawns.
Furthermore, noted Perry, “I don't think from my perspective that I want America to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven and from my perspective is more and more being put into question."
Fact: Perry in this statement misused the term "Scientific Theory".

That furthers the dumbing down of America.

A politician may have misused a word. Stop the presses!
At least he doesn't think that FDR was the president and on TV talking about the 1929 stock market crash!
No, but some aspects of science are open to debate. Franklin Roosevelt being on TV as president in 1929 isn't, at least in my book. But, hey, the way they rewrite history now, maybe I'm just old-fashioned.Yes, cause history is so much more important to get right than science.
I'm confused, he doesn't believe in global warming and his solution is to stop funding research to study it, but wouldn't not studying it make us unable to prove either way who is correct?
Mr. Perry, submitted for your approval: The scientific method
The way that I see things, it comes down to the bigger question of: Is money spent on basic scientific research by the federal government actually money well spent. If the answer is yes, then it doesn't matter if global warming is real because that money should be used to study the natural environment . If the answer is no, then it doesn't matter if global warming is real because that money shouldn't be used to study the natural environment.
The science says X, that goes into the economic and political mechanism of each person and out comes Y of what we should do about it. I'm waiting for the day where a politician says: The science says that global warming is real and significantly caused by humans, but I don't think that doing anything to mitigate the impact is in out current economic interest.

Those people that care about that 3-letter word, "jobs."People in all 57 states would agree.

If only we were in the black. In the red is the more applicable color.Racist. Next thing we know, you're gonna be talking about a "black cloud" of debt hanging over the nation. And we all know what you'd really mean by that.
IMO the subtle impact on evolution/ID issue is far greater than it is given credit for.
Of course there's the issue on the education budget and science education in particular. But the potential damage on children downplaying the importance of science and being drawn into other professions could be profound. The guy who was to discover the cure for cancer might instead end up getting a degree in philosophy.
And this in the US, a country where the deteriorating list of competitve advantages over Asia leaves us with primarly innovation.
Why would anyone want to watch some guy in his parents' basement talk about....
