"Obama is an evolutionist. Evolution destroys the mind."

You're kidding, right? Please tell me this is just an April Fools' joke. Otherwise, this is the dumbest argument I have ever heard.

99% of all socialists and communists believe in evolution.

99% of all Creationists believe in individual liberty.

A belief in evolution goes hand in hand with a belief that man has no individual importance and that the importance of the individual is measured by his importance to the advancement of the society.

Communism and Socialism are products of an evolutionary philosophy. The United States was founded upon the idea that men are (1) created and (2) that they are endowed by their creator with unalienable rights and (3) that among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Socialism is founded upon the idea that the interests of the government and society as a whole trump individual liberty. There is a reason why socialists believe in evolution. If God created man, then men have to answer to God. If men are a product of random evolution, then they have no intrinsic worth and their value is then measured by their worth to society.

So, no I am not kidding.

I am sure the poster was quite serious. The daily FR war on evolution and the scientific method continues apace.

I think of it as this site's version of the "Two Minutes Hate" as portrayed in Nineteen Eighty-Four.
