Just like I said about Ellis Washington.
He's a right-wing asshole, here attacking evolution with "social
darwinism."

And calling Jefferson a "fascist?"


WND's Washington Still Falsely Conflating Social Darwinism, Evolution
Topic: WorldNetDaily

As he has before, Ellis Washington uses his June 12 WorldNetDaily column
to falsely conflate social Darwinism with evolution, listing "Social
Darwinism (evolution)" as part of "the five-headed monster of the
Liberal-Muslim Axis."

As we pointed out the last time Washington did this, anti-evolutionists
have long conflated social Darwinism with evolution, even though Charles
Darwin himself never advocated such a thing. Indeed, the racism and
ethnic cleansing pejoratively associated with social Darwinism existed
long before Darwin.

While that's objectively false, Washington also delves into the
completely incomprehensible:

Throughout history, liberalism, totalitarianism, terrorism, anarchy and
fascism have been bedfellows - during the Age of Enlightenment
(Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Jefferson), through its systemic
corruption during the French Revolution (the Jacobins, Robespierre) and
later during 19th-century German Romanticism (Schopenhauer, Wagner,
Kaiser Wilhelm, Darwin, Nietzsche). The 20th century saw liberalism
morph into the progressive movement and the modern welfare state
(Lippmann, Croly, John Dewey, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Obama) where the
apotheosis of the State has essentially replaced God, reason,
constitutionalism and Natural Law.

[...]

Liberal fascism is exhibited today in policies like Obamacare, TARP,
Obama's takeover of the banking and auto industries, exploiting the Gulf
oil leak to destroy the oil industry through federal takeover while
forcing Americans into unsustainable alternative energy uses, thus
further decimating our economy.

Is Washington really calling Thomas Jefferson a
liberal/totalitarian/terrorist/anarchist/fascist? And when, exactly, did
Obama take over the oil industry? Washington, if nothing else, is
flamboyantly wrong.
