Liberals: Touting "Evolution", Yet Ignoring Its Lessons

Modern Man:

If Liberals Were in Charge 35,000 Years Ago

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Mention the theory of "intelligent design", and every liberal worth their salt will come flying out of their dark little caves in coffee shops and book stores and suddenly begin espousing Charles Darwin, and asserting themselves as experts on the "settled science" of Evolution.

And from my own perspective, so they should.

While evolution may have been a random occurrence of nature, or a creation of an intelligent God, there is no rational denial of the reality that, to simplify, things that work tend to survive and things that don't, tend to, well, not survive.

Funny thing is, however, after finishing their strident defence of the theory of evolution, when they go back to their coffee shops and book stores, they do everything they can do to assure that the theory comes to a full stop for modern man.

In other words..  natural selection be damned.  Regardless of how foolish we are, the state should step up and kiss our boo boos and assure that no negative consequence are suffered as a result of our own stupidity.

Current scientific theory posits that Neanderthals and Cro Magnon man existed at the same time, and that it is quite possible that the Neanderthals died off as a result of their inability to compete with the more intelligent and socially adept Cro Magnon, or "Modern" man.

Imagine Liberals,however, 35 thousand years ago.  While Cro Magnon man learned to use advanced tools, to organize in cohesive social groups and to hunt with more efficiency when times became lean - the Liberals would have, no doubt, said, "No, this is no good.  Take your food and feed the Neanderthals.

If man had survived the natural cycle of serious global cooling (yes, you heard right "cooling"), there's a good chance we would still be nomadic early humans, with pesky things that intelligent motivated and driven people helped create like, oh, penicillin and electricity, having no part in our development.

Take a look at the world around us today.

There was a reason that North America and Northern Europe in particular were not heavily populated until modern times.  Living there was hard.  The price of being stupid or lazy was death.

There is a reason that equatorial countries have been more heavily populated. Life there was easier.  The price of being stupid or lazy was much less likely to be death.

So - as man becomes more able to function in a hostile environment and as hard work and initiative are shown to allow for expansion of modern man to areas earlier considered unattractive and beyond significant habitation, well, no surprise - not only did man survive and expand in those areas, but they in fact prospered.

To such extent that now, the most stable political and economic systems exist in areas only sparsely inhabited 35,000 years ago. 

And now, the response of our liberal friends, is that the failures of societies in the Sudan, and Niger and Indonesia and elsewhere.. are the fault of the west.

And now, the response of our liberal friends, is that the failures of segments of our society to thrive and prosper..  are the fault of those who succeeded in overcoming their own hardships.

Sure.. there were some who emigrated to Canada from families of wealth - but the great majority of the families that I know had grandparents and great-grandparents who came here will little or nothing.

My own grandfather emigrated to Canada from Hungary with nothing - and worked in mines until scraping some money together to buy a small farm in the Okanagan.  My other grandfather's family were simple farmers, eventually settling in the Sweet Grass Hills, on the southern border of Alberta, living 5 people to a tiny two-room home in the middle of nowhere.

Their hard work, and sacrifice and initiative I am grateful to say was passed on to my parents who passed on some of that (perhaps not enough) to me.. such that our family "evolved" to relative material comfort.

Liberals would penalize my family for that.  They would suggest my grandparents and parents were fools for not simply putting their hand out and demanding government tend to their needs.  That their decision in moving to a harsh and difficult lifestyle was fool-hardy when they could have simply immigrated to one of the larger cities and waited until the government gave them jobs that were easy and without toil.

Liberals would have all of society return to  state of the lowest common denominator - would have us all living as modern-day Neanderthals.

Thank-goodness their time on this earth is passing.

We will all be well-served when, like their predecessors, the only place we see a "liberal" will be on display at a museum.
