Last week I posted an article titled Liberalism and Evolution: Liberalism Explained. It's an innovative approach - few others had analyzed Liberalism in these terms.
Well, according to this review, Ann Coulter's new book, "Godless," also discusses Liberalism and evolution. If I had waited just one week to post that, it would have seemed like just a commentary on Ann's book.
I'm glad to be in such good company. At the same time, my take on the subject is very different. If the review is correct, Ann is rejecting Darwinism:
Coulter illustrates why evolution is so important to the church of liberalism, "Liberals' creation myth is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which is about one notch above Scientology in scientific rigor. It's a make-believe story, based on a theory that is a tautology, with no proof in the scientist's laboratory or the fossil record -- and that's after 150 years of very determined looking. We wouldn't still be talking about it but for the fact that liberals' think evolution disproves God."
...Liberals weren't the first to use Darwinism to justify a political movement. After reading "The Origin of Species," Karl Marx wrote, "This is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our views." Coulter writes, "While Marx saw the 'struggle' as among classes, Hitler conceived of the struggle as among the races. 'Mein Kampf' means 'My Struggle,' which Hitler described in unmistakably Darwinian terms."
My approach accepts Darwinism and argues that Liberals take a position which conflicts with Darwinism, resulting in policies that actually stop society from evolving and improving.
