If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
Douglas Adams
I have been around since Truman was in the White House. In all my years as a citizen I have NEVER heard one single liberal promote anything that even resembles eugenics or the concepts behind eugenics. 'The "interventions" advocated and practiced by eugenicists involved prominently the identification and classification of individuals and their families, including the poor, mentally ill, blind, deaf, developmentally disabled, promiscuous women, homosexuals and entire racial groups'
Yet, this board is infested with right wingers professing their social Darwinism on a daily basis and the concepts and mindset REQUIRED to consider something as radical as eugenics. 'The "interventions" advocated and practiced by eugenicists involved prominently the identification and classification of individuals and their families, including the poor, mentally ill, blind, deaf, developmentally disabled, promiscuous women, homosexuals and entire racial groups'.
Those are all groups liberals defend as having equal rights and liberals defend their protection, while conservatives would willingly identify and classify those people as 'others' dismissing them as being deserving of some form of exclusion, sanction or punishment.
MAn I just gave you an article from left wingers about after birth abortion, and I proved that ALL the major progressives were for eugenics, as well as Stalin, Hitler, Mao. Now you and you left wing buddies are claiming right wing progressivism, since I've proved how horrible they are and how you project social darwinsm to christian republicans, again I dont know of any that support eugenics or any of it's theories, can you find me some?
Owning you left wingers is so much fun, yeah I have to get evidence, but I do, you dont, sucks to support the side that supports eugenics and Mengela type medicine (death panels, after birth abortion, partial birth abortion, hell abortion at all, Again Sanger supported eugenics but thought Abortion was worse and didnt want to touch it. That shows you just how wrong you are.)
If you've been around for that long and not known it, then you need to wake up Rip Van Winkle.

United Methodist Church: An Apology for Support of Eugenics
The United Methodist Church has passed petition 81175 which expresses an apology for support of Eugenics
Ironically, as the Eugenics movement came to the United States, the churches, especially the Methodists, the Presbyterians, and the Episcopalians, embraced it.
Methodist churches around the country promoted the American Eugenics Society Fitter Family Contests wherein the fittest families were invariably fair skinned and well off. Methodist bishops endorsed one of the first books circulated to the US churches promoting eugenics. Unlike the battles over evolution and creationism, both conservative and progressive church leaders endorsed eugenics. The liberal Rev. Harry F. Ward, professor of Christian ethics and a founder of the Methodist Federation for Social Service, writing in Eugenics, the magazine of the American Eugenic Society, said that Christianity and Eugenics were compatible because both pursued the challenge of removing the causes that produce the weak. Conservative Rev. Clarence True Wilson, the General Secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, and the man chosen to debate Clarence Darrow after William Jennings Bryans death, believed that only the white Aryan race was the descendent of the lost tribes of Israel.
Ok, I stand corrected, progressive liberal mainstream protestands, belived in eugenics, I was wrong on the every christian thing. Atleast I'm intellectually honest unlike you and Starkey.
