"Do they even see the irony?"
That requires a certain amount of physical and mental development; my middle daughter, at age 11, is understanding irony reasonably well, while her little sister, 8, is just beginning to understand it. What does that tell you about these politicians?
"You are on your own to buy your own health care, to buy your own retirement security ... to buy your own roads and levees"
Republicans and libertarians just believe in buying health care, roads and levees at wholesale prices!
We want to out the middle-man (the government).
This makes no sense at all, as the left is insisting that gays be allowed to marry and abprtion be kept legal.
Seems to me that the left is not intending to have anyone left to survive after one generaion. Abortion kills mostly democrats and I don't think lesbians or gays can produce offspring without help from the other sex.
I'll place my bets now, put all the pro abortion people on one island, the lesbians one another and all the gays on a third. Which island will have anyone left in 100 years?

I'm not sure I like being called "social."
"And you've confused libertarians with anarchists. The confusion must be contagious. :)"
My local libertarians have led me astray... they believe that government could largely be replaced with lawsuits...
Thanks for the correction.
The propagandist who wrote the piece is trying to misdefine the terms in order to frame the issue. At issue is not one of policy decisions in the name of "Darwinism", but an observation of the outcome.
{Note Darwin himself did not have a hand in evolution, just in observing it.}
Social Darwinism applies Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection from biology to human culture.
Yep, exhibit A would be the Taliban . . .
"My local libertarians have led me astray... they believe that government could largely be replaced with lawsuits... "
They should be called LINOS; Libertarians In Name Only.
Do not worry. The new Democrats are only paying a lip service to the New Deal type of issues.
Their new and real agenda is gay "marriage", abortion, celebrating diversity in schools and eliminating religion from public sphere (unless it is Islam or witchcraft).
That is why millions who in the past would vote for FDR, today either vote Republican or stay home.
There's no problem. Social Darwinism is the most progressive social system, as most social progress has happened more or less in proportion to the degree in which Social Darwinism was practiced.
Note to self. Don't type when you are upset. Hit spell check before posting.
abprtion = abortion
generaion = generation
Hurricane Katrina "victims" got that way because the Democrats designed and implemented policies designed to keep them impoverished.
Creationist RINOs take note. Obama's pitching to your base.
Really? Western Civilization was created by the Church on the foundation established by Greece and Rome. Which of these were based on Social Darwinism?
Are they serious? I thought for a moment that this might be satire when I got to this point. I really can't stop laughing.
That being said, I don't think Barack Obama has the slightest idea what he's talking about.
Error 1 - Speaking to FloriDUH Democrats.
Error 2 - Obama speech being considered by anyone.
Error 3 - "We are going to dismantle government" should read dismanlte government outside of Constitutional limits.
Obama is a disgrace to himself, his "activist" family, and the human race segment that voted for him.
Are you sure that ain't osama bin laden?
If the Republican party did espouse these views, I would support the Republican party 100 percent. However, considering the Republican party has wasted spending on increasing government expenditures on each of these issues and the President wouldn't know the definition of the word veto if someone explained it to him, I wouldn't bother wasting a vote on the Republican Party.
The two parties have gotten to the point they argue not on whether or not a policy should be pursued, but only on how much money should be wasted on a policy
Read the history of Renaissance [say, "the Prince" with its survival of the fittest], Industrial Revolution, and of protocapitalist Netherlands, for a sampler and appetizer.
