I understand this is out of context, but I'm really tired of people comparing anything to the holocaust. And what the hell is he on about with this (video below)? I sincerely hope this has nothing to do with the health care debate. Because that means the conservatives have spun the idea of "healthcare reform" into anti-american socialist madness, and now it's apparently on par with the holocaust.
Let me get this straight Glenn Beck. It would be really awful if we started practicing eugenics in the United States because your daughter would be sterilized. And Obama's health care reform would pave the way for innocent retards to be eugenicized (if that's a word).
If that's your argument I'd like to point out that eugenics has been practiced in the United States. In fact California allows for voluntary sterilization for sex offenders to reduce sentences. Not only that but there have been two active eugenics parties since the early twenties. They took the word eugenics out after WWII for obvious reasons.
And who has generally supported these programs? Conservatives as far as I can tell. Has something to do with saving taxpayer money or some such thing. And Objectivists, but that's a whole other rant.
Here's the video:
Is it just me or did they stop reporting news? Because it sure seems like most of their program is either someone shouting or crying. Reminds me of church.
