Ping to a thread on Eugenics by Salvation...

One of the sorriest episodes in the 230-year history of our country is the eugenics craze that swept through America in the early decades of the last century. Endorsed by the intellectual elite and our most prominent citizens, the eugenics movement was responsible for racial, class and ethnic intolerance as well as civil rights violations that would be totally unconscionable in today’s politically correct American culture.

Joe Negron is campaigning to fill the seat left vacant by Foley. Here is more on him and his challenge as written in Human Events...

Most Sunshine State sources agree that Negron is more conservative than Foley (lifetime American Conservative Union rating: 79%), who was pro-abortion and backed hate-crimes legislation. However, Negron lost a special election run-off for the state legislature in 1999 to social conservative Art Argenio, and then won his state house seat in a rematch a year later. In both races, Associated Industries of Florida and the Christian Coalition backed Argenio.

In office, however, lawmaker Negron has been firmly on the right on almost all issues. Rated 100% by the Christian Coalition, he backed a parental notification law and the Terry Schiavo intervention. Negron also led the house effort for corporate tax credits to provide private school vouchers to disadvantaged children and was a founding member (along with present U.S. GOP Rep. Connie Mack) of the anti-tax Freedom Caucus in the Florida house.
