Reply #28: why's a political appointee at NIH working as an editor at the Smithsonian [View All]

the one blatant feature of the busheviks that is akin to the bolsheviks is their placing of political appointees throughout the federal government to act as gate-keepers for right-wing, conservative policies that are impacted by government actions. one sees it in the EPA, DOE, Dept of Commerce, and just about everywhere else. When something the government does naturally as part of its function impacts negatively on conservative policies there is always a gate-keeper there to undermine objective analysis. there is a distinct and constant pattern of subjective political considerations trumping objectivity. In fact, during the past budget debates in congress, Dept of commerce officials were told they would be fired if they reported to congress their negative findings about the Bush plans to change Social Security, again, told by GOP appointee gate keepers.

the fellow in question was placed at the Smithsonian for a purpose. it was to promote political agendas that benefit the conservative philosophies of his paymasters. he wasn't sent over there from NIH to play with dinosaur bones.
