Here is an irony, don't you think?

Liberals wish for Darwin to be able to take place nowhere in the business world, yet harp all over it when it comes to science and creationism as a possible explanation for life being formed on earth.

Conservatives are the opposite...

Where does survival of the fittest really lie?

    You're looking for logic in democrats? LOL! If you watch the liberal media, then you know exactly what most of them are going to say. Even if much of it required diametrically opposed takes on certain facts, they jump right on it and don't even have a clue how they contradict their other stated philosophies and take on facts.

    Democrats take on more of a fascist / cult like loyalty to the party. They have varied and diverse feelings on certain issues, but they subjugate those things to who they see are "their people" which is the party which their family and friends identify with.

    O'Reilly calls them ideologues, but they are obviously not, they are driven by a cultist group thinking community based tribal style of identification, and don't even think much about issues.

    To democrats it's us against those bad enemy Republicans. It's pretty close to the dynamic in what Baseball fans feel, or what strictly knit brain washed religious groups feel.

    Social evolution is what Hitler believed in and lead to a justification to genocide. There is a reason why evolution is theory of biology, not a business theory. If economists want to create their own theory based on similar ideas as evolution, they are very well free to. But it won't be the same as the theory of evolution, and either validating or debunking such an economic theory would have no effect on the validity of the theory of evolution.

    To break it down to you in simple terms. The theory of evolution has been proven countless times. The theory of social or business evolution hasn't even been formalized, much less been proven.

    Also, evolution is not a theory of how life came to exist on earth either. That is a study of abiogenesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_life

    Why is it that nobody who criticizes evolution actually understands evolution?

    And why is it that CEO's no longer prescribe to such a model when they go looking for handouts from the government? Hell, why would they ever try to get corporate welfare in the first place if they believed in the survival of the fittest?

    I don't really understand your question. Evolution is a scientific theory. Its applicability to business is a conceptual adaptation at best.

    In any event, businesses normally operate on the basis of survival of the fittest but, as we have seen recently, even Republicans recognize the need to help out businesses when their demise might mean the collapse of our economic system.

    I think you are mistaken in thinking that Liberals support the "survival of the fittest" aspect of Darwinism.

    That's why you so rarely see a "save the whales" bumper sticker among those supporting Conservative candidates and ideas.

    It is ironic though that they absolutely accept Evolution, which implies Natural Competition, and now they want to thwart that same force from now on, as if they have the power to stop the process where it is now.

    Evolution follows rules and operates in context of environmental conditions, and so should businesses,

    Like Hitler, they are trying to shape evolution themselves. Not in an outright murderous way like he did, but in a lying, backstabbing, undermining from within kind of way.

    If liberals all turn gay, none of them will survive.

    Gays, by definition, don't reproduce.
