All of these Dictators believed in a so called “Master Race” which stems from Darwin’s so-called higher level of Evolution.

  5. […] Lake also tells us that he is a “secularist”; one wonders, therefore, why he previously posted approvingly a Christian fundamentalist attack on the theory of evolution. […]
