WordNetDaily columnist Erik The Other Rush Rush he really calls himself that would like to share with you some Thoughts About Science, which mostly boil down to: science is nice when it gives us flatscreen TVs and atomic bombs, but wed better not trust the scientific community because its full of atheists and socialists who are trying to set themselves up as some kinds of authorities on stuff that they have no business talking about, like the age of the Earth, how life came to be on Earth and whether its getting hotter, none of which they really know a damn thing about. And by the end of his meditations on science, he actually appears to say it would be OK to kill a few scientists, if thats whats necessary to preserve Liberty.

Finally, Erik Rush seems to suggest that it would be a good idea to silence Tyson and other fake scientists, by whatever means necessary. Remember, this is the guy who once called for executing journalists to celebrate Free Speech Week. After all, the First Amendment does not protect treason:
When people argue for the right to free speech of those who espouse progressivism, socialism, or even communism, it is based on a popular but erroneous construal of the First Amendment. This maintains that they have the right or freedom to believe what they like.
However, the actions of those who espouse progressivism, socialism and communism have long since strayed into the realm of conspiring to strip those very rights and freedoms from others. This they have no right nor freedom to do, in either the legal or the moral sense.
In light of this, those whom they would victimize in this way should consider no course of action off limits in preventing their victimization.
