Be sure to read this piece by Robert Reich on the Social Darwinism being espoused by the current GOPher presidential candidates. It's an eye opening essay, or at least it should be, on what Social Darwinism would mean as it pertains to our culture's future.
Reich reminds us how it worked out before the more egalitarian changes of the twentieth century.
What's especially interesting to me is that those who preach this approach are also the ones who are most vociferous in denying evolution, the survival of the fittest, as the force which resulted in the appearance of human beings on the planet. They preach that God created man in his own image, the fairy tale of all fairy tales.
They also rail against abortion as murdering human beings, but support the death penalty. Huh?
How can any thinking, rational person support for president anyone who hold such truths to be self-evident.
As Ron Paul says of Gingrich, they are serial hypocrites, as is he.
