Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood introduced her book, The Pivot of Civilization, with the following words: “We want fewer and better children…and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on us.” (Emphasis added.) Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in receiving a recent award from Planned Parenthood said she was “really in awe” of Sanger calling the reproductive-rights movement “one of the most transformational in the entire history of the human race.”
Eugenics, the self-direction of human evolution, was praised and incorporated into Mein Kampf by Adolph Hitler, its most infamous practitioner. The policy involved the identification of groups including the poor, mentally ill, blind, homosexuals and certain racial groups as degenerate or unfit. Once identified, forced segregation, institutionalization, sterilization, and/or extermination was practiced upon them. The Holocaust resulted in the killing of 6,000,000 human beings.
Sanger in her day and Clinton today profess the same embrace of “transformational” movements. This is short for eliminating those “ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens.” In the case of “reproductive-rights,” code for abortion, it means playing God as to those determined “unfit.” Obama for his part has supported this course in voting to deny life-saving support for those babies born of failed late term abortions. Of course, our president defended his vote by saying it is above his pay grade to determine when life begins. One would suppose he thinks that the baby dying on the table is something other than an innocent, helpless human being.
So we have a government run by the liberal ruling class who know what is best for the unwashed governed. They know it’s best to bail out GM and the UAW, to bail out people who have defaulted on Fannie or Freddie mortgages that they could not afford, to bail out AIG, to inflate deficits to historical heights, and to support Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood gives awards to the Secretary of State and is supported by taxpayer largess. This organization increased US abortions from 289,000 in 2007 to 305,000 in 2008; this coincided with government funding increases from $337,000,000 to $350,000,000. Our taxes are used for the “common good” of eliminating the “unfit” and coincidentally providing a profit to Planned Parenthood. Kathryn Lopez in National Review Online pens a telling indictment of this unholy alliance, much paraphrased here.
There is an irony and frightening follow-on to this liberal hubris: Ironically, the liberals profess to be the protectors of the poor and downtrodden whom they addict with their welfare for votes compact. Apparently they have resolved not to let the “swarms” of “unfit” get too large. Hopefully the omniscient rulers will be smart enough not to abort or abandon to death after failed abortion a future Stephen Hawking, George Washington Carver, Jonas Salk, or Martin Luther King. The responsibility of playing God is awesome indeed!
What’s frightening is the length to which the federal government will go to enforce its philosophy. An April 7th report from the Department of Homeland Security warns of a potential surge in rightwing extremists dedicating a special mention of “disgruntled military veterans.” Also getting special mention are those who are against abortion and immigration. Apparently those sworn to defend the constitution that risk their life and limb for country are suspect, as are those who disagree with Obama’s philosophy on eugenics and immigration.
We have elected a messianic figure as president who truly plays God and plays him rough. Concepts of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” for helpless innocents are forcefully denied with taxpayer money and freedom of speech and assembly are threatened as rightwing extremes. Big Brother is here; the thought police are soon to follow.

Well said Tom, however now you have to add being fat to the story. Yes, the scientific community is saying that if your fat, overweight, obese, you probably are adding to global warming by your mere excessive consumption. I'm not sure they have determined which foods are better or worse for the planet, take like eating corn , that takes away from potential fuels for cars, yet on the other hand fat people like peas, and that would be good for the planet because know one else likes peas and there is a real excess in peas these days. How far these crazies will go I don't want to know but they must be stopped now. One more thought, If we eliminate the fatties,who will the pious progressives have left to pick on anyway?
