Yesterday was "Darwin Day". GOP fills science committee with "Young Earthers".

What I am after is the source of your version of history, I guess you don't have one.

You're boring and stupid. Did you ever go to school or are you a self-taught windbag? Check out the East India Company, for example. How would they have achieved what they did without the Royal Navy backing them up?

At the time, the Royal Navy was the most modern technologically and scientifically advance military in the world. English business funded overseas adventurism.

Links, citations?

Uh, hello, how else did they conquer the rest of the world? English charm?

By letting their corporations rule entire continents, and using superior technology, which they either bought or stole from others, to devastate their enemies.

Why did the British Empire expand so rapidly between 1870 and 1900?

So you admit it was done with the backing of the government that bailed out the merchants with troops whenever they got in trouble. About time! Was that so hard?

Funny, I don't recall saying it wasn't. What I said, and still maintain, is that there was no government investment in business and science that led to the British empire.

By the way, the "Troops" often worked directly for the corporations because the actual British Army wasn't big enough to keep peace everywhere in the Empire.

Anyway, I do thank you for demonstrating your lack of historical knowledge. Keep up the good work.

You're being intentionally blind. The British government worked hand-in-hand with merchants to create a mercantile empire.

The East India Company drove the expansion of the British Empire in Asia. The Company's army had first joined forces with the Royal Navy during the Seven Years' War, and the two continued to cooperate in arenas outside India: the eviction of Napoleon from Egypt (1799), the capture of Java from the Netherlands (1811), the acquisition of Singapore (1819) and Malacca (1824) and the defeat of Burma (1826)

Darwin was British. We don't usually commemorate the lives of foreign scientists in the US unless we are trying to make a political statement. Why not cut through the BS and call for a "Sanger Day" to commemorate the life of American born Margaret Sanger who established the "Eugenics" movement and called for a "new race of humanity" based on Darwinism? Sanger's Eugenics was embraced by most liberal politicians including Hitler. It evolved into Planned Parenthood.

How do you figure Hitler was a liberal?

How do you figure he wasn't? NAZI was an acronym for nationalist socialist. Joe Stalin was a socialist liberal and a partner in crime for the NAZI regime. Later when Hitler broke the treaty and invaded Russia Stalin became an ally of FDR and the US.

so much fail in one post.

Only very reluctantly.

The Soviet occupation of eastern Poland in September and the "Winter War" against Finland in December led President Franklin Roosevelt to condemn the Soviet Union publicly as a "dictatorship as absolute as any other dictatorship in the world," and to impose a "moral embargo" on the export of certain products to the Soviets.

U.S.-Soviet Alliance, 1941-1945

You forgot to mention that the conservative icon Churchill was Stalin's ally, too.

Rdean started this with a claim of a golden triangle between business, government, and universities results in dynamic countries. Business and government working hand in hand does not create three sides of a triangle. Want to try again, or do you expect me to cave because you can't find a way to defend his absurd claims?

You never heard of the Royal Society? Once again. Do some research. Sheesh!

Darwin award winners are usually liberals. The 'not very bright' crowd.

The Royal Navy worked hand-in-hand with merchants to extend the empire and had scientists along as a matter of course. Ever read Mutiny on the Bounty or Darwin's travels? They clearly illustrate the triangulation of British military, mercantile and scientific interests to expand the empire.
