Jeb is just as stupid as his brother…. and so are all the others.

So, Jeb thinks:

“For the people to say the science is decided on this is really arrogant, to be honest with you,” he reportedly said. “It’s this intellectual arrogance that now you can’t have a conversation about it, even.”


First of all, it doesn't matter what you think.
Secondly, it's obvious you weren't paying attention in middle school when they explained what science is. One of the main criteria of science is that it has to be "testable".
What this means, Jeb… is that you can perform experiments, study data, or make models to prove your point. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with a conversation like discussing who you think will win next year's Superbowl.
It is "SCIENCE", not sports, sociological trends, or fashion that you just casually discuss without knowing squat.

If you have a case against whether we are experiencing dangerous man made climate change…. FUCKING PROVE IT!
You and your brother can have you ignorant "conversation" in private.

GHW was, and probably still is, a greedy, lying, sneaking, double-dealing and unprincipled shitweasel but he wasn't dumb.

All of his sons are dumber than a bag of hair.

Nobody knows exactly how it works, but it's been tested (repeatedly, by one of my cats) and scientists are in general agreement that it's real. Is it intellectual arrogance to refuse to tie myself down to things, because after all we don't know quite how it works so what if it isn't real and someday we'll all go floating away?? Ever think of that, arrogant science people???
