I was watching the Tucker Carlson program today and he commented that he thought it was very funny that Obama used the phrase "Bush is a social darwinist" then he and Pat Buchanan and the other guest (a liberal) started laughing about how stupid it was for Obama to use such a phrase as "social darwinism" to a bunch of union people (as if they would have a clue to what "social darwinism" is) one of them mentioned that Obama needed a better coach on what to say and to whom.
Interesting innit?

So Tucker, Pat, and even Bill (Press) were having a good laugh at Obama's supposed faux-pas and I was sitting on the couch ten feet from the screen wondering what was so funny. After Tucker joked that Union members are too ignorant to know what that phrase even meant, Bill Press upped him by joking that union members probably don't even know who Darwin is.

Nice one, Bill.

This is what the media thinks of the working man. Not only are we not up to the task of having a politician speak about the truth, and in a philosophical sense, but we are too stupid to understand the words coming out of his mouth, like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour.

What hope is there when the gatekeepers to the political discourse are a bunch 5-Cent comedians who think we're baboons to be mocked and ridiculed and when a public figure dares to respect his audience by speaking from the heart, they sit in the seats and blather at the cameras about what a mistake it was.

You are on to something, dyslexia. That is what the media thinks of everybody in fly over country. I know you won't agree with this addition, but that is what the Democrats also think of you and me. We are all too stupid to take care of ourselves, and they will gladly selp appoint themselves to do it for us, of course with your money and mine.

Well, we have a great example of how smart non-union members are. The incompentence and corruption of the Bush Administration.

Definitions of Social Darwinism on the Web:

An attempt to adapt Charles Darwin natural selection principles to human society, thus producing a culture that embraces the "survival of the fittest." This is based on a misunderstanding of Darwin's theories. Natural selection, when applied to a society, also includes such factors as organizational ability, talent to inspire others, creativity, perseverance, mental flexibility, etc., in addition to physical fitness.
www.religioustolerance.org/gl_s1.htm

A social theory which states that the level a person rises to in society and wealth is determined by their genetic background.
regentsprep.org/Regents/global/vocab/topic.cfm

A philosophical application of Darwin's theory of natural selection; states that some races or peoples are more fit for survival than others and are therefore designed by nature to dominate inferior races.
www.historyteacher.net/EuroProjects/DBQ1998-1999/glossary24-99.htm

Improperly deduced by Herbert Spencer from the work of Charles Darwin, this theory became popular in the late nineteenth century. It is the notion that only the finest will survive as society evolves and that government should not intervene to help those who are "less fit."
www.politicalscience.utoledo.edu/faculty/lindeen/glos3260.htm

An extension of the idea of biological evolution to human culture. An extreme laissez-faire notion that the poor are poor because they lack certain genetic characteristics that would fit them for economic survival. As the argument goes, society has no obligation to its poor since to help them would be to allow inferior types to survive, and thus interfere with evolution and weaken society. ...
alpha.fdu.edu/~jbecker/nature/natureglossary.html

The application of the concept of evolution to the historical development of human societies, placing special emphasis on the idea of "struggle for survival." Hitler picked up these ideas and incorporated them into Nazism.
www.theology.edu/theology/glossary.htm

Social Darwinism is a social theory which holds that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection affects not only the distribution of biological traits in a population, but that it affects human social institutions as well. Social Darwinisim was popular in the late nineteenth century to the end of World War II, although some have claimed that contemporary sociobiology could be classed as a form of social Darwinism. ...

I'm thinking that neither the dems nor the repubs give a **** about the actual working class, the backbone of america because both have become so freakin' elitiest (ala Plato/Aristotle) that platitudes and buzz words dominate their itty-bitty minds. Kinda reminds me of when my brother drowned in Saudi Arabia and a couple of christian folk dropped by our home to reassure me (age 4) that "god needed my brother in heaven more than I needed him on earth." BASTARDS, what kind of thing is that to say to a 4 yr old who just lost his brother. Must have made them feel better.

I think to a great extent, that is right, dys. Even if folks can rise up from modest working class circumstances, eg clinton and obama or Hagel, once into the realities of modern politiking, the context becomes something very close to an elitist ruling class marked by significant wealth and class isolation.

The media, particularly the large salaried TV personality variety, depend for their priviledged livlihoods (multi-million dollar contracts are common) upon the continuation of things as they are.

As Matt Groenig puts it, "The people who are in power do not have your best interests at heart."
