I thought the Repugs didn't BELIEVE in natural selection?
Isn't that a THEORY of DARWINs?
(inspired by the last caller to Randi; Randi said that only the "best"ppl would be allowed to survive.)

1. They do believe in Straussian social Darwinism.
Leo Strauss was a professor who influenced Wolfowitz and Perlman who were a couple of the founders of the PNAC and now hold high positions in our government. The philosophy is strictly eugenics. Only the genetically superior will survive when you remove social safety nets that help the weak to survive.
