Darwinian Politics
When someone talks about a conservative, they are usually referring to someone who believes in limited government, adherence to the constitution, sound money, low taxes, and maximum freedom. There is one candidate in the 2012 Presidential race that believes in these things and has the voting record to prove it, and that is Texas Congressman Ron Paul. Congressman Paul has been polling in second or third place in the Republican primary polls, and with a strong grassroots base, he looks to make a run at the Republican nomination.
The idea of an organism undertaking radical changes for the purpose of survival was considered a biological phenomenon. Certain species of fish develop better swimming capabilities to elude predators. Predators, like the Great White Shark, in need of food sources, often developed efficient means of hunting and killing prey. At the onset, the idea of evolution as well as the aspiration of every organism to become better was thought to exist in mere primal and base dimensions of existence. Simply put this held as the conduct, behavior and experience of animals with little or no psycho-social sophistication that human beings possess.
However, the dynamics of Darwinian thought still hold true in the realm of politics. This may be a human experience and within the context of human civilization. However, the mechanics that are involved in it is no different from those found in nature. The players and considerations might be different but the goal and purpose remain the same. Survival and dominance pursued by non-sentient organisms are the same as those that humans pursue.
In the realm of politics evolution is a prime attribute for an individual or a group to survive and thrive. Human history yields many examples as to individuals changing to survive. They shift allegiances when faced with the defeat of their current ally. The reality of power and influence today, be they in the frame of government or not, is about adapting to the constantly shifting dimensions of human relationships.
Regimes that are threatened by the loss of power abandon values of public service and justice to survive. They often become predatory and brutalize their own citizens. Politicians during an election season shift their stand and views on certain issues to garner greater public support.
Family Values Dr. Paul is pro-life, having delivered over 4,000 babies during his medical career. On the issue of marriage, Congressman Paul does not think that the government should be able to dictate who can and cannot wed. He feels that this is a duty of the Church. He does not support homosexual marriage, but he does not believe that the government has any right to tell two people whether they can be married.
If Obama had really just wanted to get the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the NLRB running, he had a way to do it without opening the door to lawsuits. The Constitution allows the president to adjourn both houses of Congress "to such Time as he shall think proper" if they fail to agree on when to adjourn. As a constitutional law scholar, Obama surely was aware of this. Of course, a president who sends the voters' elected representatives home is going to have a hard time persuading those same voters to keep him in the White House. So the president who promised to respect the Constitution opted not to use the power that the Constitution explicitly gave him.
