  • I love it when neocons equate the Dixiecrats with today's, pretending the parties haven't completely switched

  • They haven't. Today the Democrats just fulfill their racist agenda with abortion and Planned Parenthood, both of which are offshoots of the American Eugenics Movement of the early 20th century which left hundreds forcibly sterilized and/or aborted in California, and which inspired Naziism in Germany. Fun fact: it was the American IBM which taught Hitler how to orchestrate the Holocaust, the same IBM that was a top player in the eugenics movement which also included Margaret Sanger.

    Nice to see some people are intelligent. Although if people think that one side is better than the other they're delusional. Both parties are on the same side. .money.

There is a terrifying connection between the American Eugenics Movement, Naziism in Germany, and abortion via Planned Parenthood as we know it today. Enough that as a Mexican myself, I was singlehandedly brought to the pro-life side via my investigation of history. And the Democrats are the ones who support abortion and Planned Parenthood in this nation, just as they originally were the ones who supported slavery and Jim Crow prior to the "switch" in platforms of the parties. One thing I find particularly troubling as a minority is that for all the talk Democrats have about the disparate effects certain things have minority groups--such as the War on Drugs and many Republican fiscal policies--they are surprisingly silent on the disparate effect abortion has on minorities. EDIT: The second link was broken via the website's censor which removes the word "N@zi" from the url. I think you can figure out how to fix it.

  • Abortion is mainly about women's rights. Basically saying since they're the ones that are pregnant, they should be the ones to decide whether they actually have the baby.

  • No. It's certainly politicized that way, and I'm sure for most people it is a matter of female rights, even if I disagree with it, but historically that is not the case at all. Abortion at least within the American context of Planned Parenthood is the outgrowth of the racially fueled American Eugenics Movement. Margaret Sanger's intentions weren't to endow women with a choice but to prevent "undesirables" from polluting the gene pool. She mentions it herself in her own diary and book "The Pivot of Civilization." Not only that, but she even supported the deprivation of choice by advocating that the mentally disabled be sterilized as well as certain ethnic groups of peoples. And to some extent the movement succeeded in California where hundreds of people were forcibly sterilized and/or aborted on the grounds of eugenics. Again, that's not to say that everyone who holds the pro-choice position is secretly a eugenist with a racially fueled agenda--although I have no doubt that the top is and that some people are--but it means that abortion itself is the product of something very ugly. And thus, it is something I personally am very skeptical of. Especially as a minority myself. And knowing as a minority the disparate effect abortion has on our communities, I find it very alarming that for all the talk Democrats have of disparate effects, they are silent on the disparate effect of abortion. I don't think it's merely a matter of "choice" when many of us are locked into conditions which make us more susceptible to abortion like poverty for example, when the disparate effect is conveniently ignored, when Planned Parenthood specifically targets us all the while ignoring its horrendous past. That and I consider abortion murder. But that's beside the point. Abortion in America, regardless of how we feel about it, is an outgrowth of the eugenics movement and racism has played a significant part in it. Margaret Sanger herself on top of the aforementioned facts actually spoke at the KKK in 1926 and made Lothrop Stoddard--another eugenist who advocated mandatory birth control and sterilization--the board of directors for the American Birth Control League (Planned Parenthood's original name), despite the fact that he actually had connections with N@zi Germany, wrote positively about it, traveled there on multiple occasions, and even personally interviewed Heinrich Himmler. All that said, I don't think it's too out of the question to say that Democrats, at least on the top, are still the racially fueled bigots they were prior to the switching of platforms.

  • JFK was the democrat president at that time.. Do you still claim him to not be inline with today's democrats.. What about FDR? You claim these people, but not the ones who upset you.
