Fantasies of Social Darwinism

Jonah Goldberg, The Weekly Standard

The news peg for the story was President Obama’s claim that the House Republican budget is nothing but “thinly veiled Social Darwinism.” It is, he added, a “Trojan Horse,” hiding within in it “a radical vision” that is “antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity.”

Comment:

What an amazing bunch of nonsense.  As a matter of fact, it is one of many examples of this president's strong tendency towards projection.   If there is anyone who is a Trojan Horse, it is this guy.  If there's anyone who would end this country history as a land of opportunity, it will be Obama.  The truth is that he doesn't believe in any of that.  Opportunity for what-  to be equal?  Nobody strives to be equal- everybody strives to be downright unequal.  That's what opportunity is about for heavens sake.  It takes nothing to be just one of the many- it takes something exceptional to be different and better.
