The NAZI’s and eugenics, the birthstone of Planned Parenthood.

[AmericanExceptionalist]

It is entirely unsurprising that a member of the "progressive community" would find appeasement preferable to confrontation. What is surprising, however, is the unabashed candor with which this editorial writer admits as much. Such people usually have a better excuse for it: It is the "pragmatic" way, or the "realistic" way, or a good-faith attempt at negotiations (which the left has fetishized in recent times).

If candor is a virtue, this fellow--Bruce Ramsey--must be a very virtuous guy. Of a sort, anyway.

"The NAZI’s and eugenics, the birthstone of Planned Parenthood."

Actually the NAZI's and Fascists took inspiration from American eugenicists, and were great admirers of Americans like Margaret Sanger.

An earlier poster mentioned Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism and I highly recommend it. He does a wonderful job of tying together much of the common DNA the European Fascists and NAZI's had with the American Progressive movement.
