In 1920, long before anyone knew who Hitler was, Karl Binding and Alfred Hoche published an influential book advocating euthanasia entitled, The Release of the Destruction of Life Devoid of Value (Life Unworthy of Life). In the same year a bill was introduced into the German legislature to legalize abortion.
Racism was politically correct at the time. Many German intellectuals believed in helping the evolution of the human race along by reducing the population of the "unfit" and the "inferior races." There was, of course, some resistance to all of this on the part of genuine Christians, but that resistance was too little, too late.
So, the gun was loaded. Hitler pulled the trigger. Someone had come along who was willing to put the prevalent theories into practice.
The gun is loaded again. Abortion. Euthanasia. Racism. We have already legalized abortion and euthanasia. Anybody who doesn't see the racism in the placement of Planned Parenthood's abortion clinics in the middle of minority communities is suffering from self-induced blindness. (PP's founder, Margarent Sanger, was openly racist and had Nazis writing articles in her magazine, The Birth Control Review. It has been documented that she preferred to use Blacks to sell her "family planning" to the Black population.) There is a growing animosity on the part of the powers that be towards any kind of sincere, genuine, traditional Christianity.
Has someone once again risen to power who is willing to pull the trigger? Obama appears to be a puppet of a powerful, elite group of godless social engineers, of which Planned Parenthood is the classic example.
Very interesting and compelling short essay. The book mentioned would be one to read.
