Eugenics proponent running for Congress (R Tenn)
JTA


A Republican candidate for Congress advocates incorporating eugenics into public policy. James Hart of Tennessee promises to use eugenics, the pseudo- science that was a precursor to the Holocaust, as the basis for policy proposals if elected.

Favored Races, his political manifesto available on his campaign Web site, mentions Jews but doesn’t say which demographic groups would suffer under his proposals. Discussion boards on the site overflow with rejections of eugenics, which encourages selective breeding.

Tennessee’s state GOP has denounced Hart’s platform and distanced itself from the candidate after failing to place its preferred Republican on the November ballot. ..

Eugenics and the Nazis -- the California connection

Edwin Black
Sunday, November 9, 2003

Hitler and his henchmen victimized an entire continent and exterminated millions in his quest for a so-called Master Race.

But the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race didn't originate with Hitler. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little-known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing.

It seems that the neo-conservatives who control the republican party are not going to let the idea die. See other links below for some background and perhaps an understanding of how and why the evil of the eugenics movement continues.

3. OK, let's move to the Illinois senate race for a second
Does this mean that this republican (so what if the state GOP distanced themselves) running in Tennessee would then have to favor DEMOCRAT Barack Obama over GOP OPERATIVE Alan Keyes because Obama's half white? I mean after all, Keyes is thumping his chest over how much more black he is than Obama.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.....:think:

These people are waaaaaaay too obsessed with race. They can't remain consistent in what they believe anymore.
