"Margaret Sanger embraced some truly horrific ideas. But she also did quite a lot of good." Just like Hitler, right, Ms. Keli Goff?

All the old Progressives should be remembered in their true light rather than the rosy picture painted today.

I’m not a particular fan of the Confederacy, but if Cruz is to be criticized for picking a fight with a “135-year-old feminist,” where is the criticism of those wanting to dig up the graves of Nathan Forrest, or strike down the status of Lee and Davis?

“Statues,” not, “status.”

Adolf Hitler embraced some really horrific ideas, but he did do a lot for population control. And overcrowding in many cities in Europe.

Did Margaret Sanger get the trains to run on time?

Don’t forget Prescott Bush was a cohort of Margaret. He served on the founding board as treasurer. May explain why Jeb was hesitant to save the life of Terri. Family values passed down?

Lifetime did a bio movie on Sanger. It covered up the nasty details on her life.

Wish a Christian movie maker would do a real bio on this ghoul.

She didn’t just hang with the kkk she abandonded her children to fornicate with men. No wonder leftists like her!

Leave that monster’s statue up. Edit the display to include her positions on minorities, eugenics, and keeping minority population under control. Show everyone what she is a liberal hero. Include some “inspirational” quotes from Hillary and others on the left praising this ethnic cleanser.

Look for the New York Times to run this exact story, with the headline, "Ted Cruz Beats Up On The Elderly"

Hitler admired Margaret Sanger and use her Eugenesia policies to advance the cleansing of not Arian peoples.

PROGRESSIVE BERKELEY MINISTER DENOUNCES ‘ GENOCIDE’

“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population….” –Margaret Sanger, Founder, Planned Parenthood:
//freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2281827/posts
June 28, 20009

By Andrew Walden

Speaking in Hilo Friday, Rev Walter Hoye of the Progressive Baptist Church of Berkeley, CA told a gathering of 50 Hawaii religious leaders about forces of “black genocide” which he says now kill as many African-Americans every three days as the KKK killed in 86 years of lynching.

Hoye arrived in Hilo after being released from an Alameda County, CA jail, where he was sent after Oakland, CA authorities crafted an ordinance designed specifically to stop him from speaking out in front of a Union City, CA Planned Parenthood abortion clinic about black women’s right to choose alternatives to abortion.

Hoye explained that “The African-American community is the abortion industry’s biggest customer…. African-Americans are now reproducing below replacement level…. Thirty-seven per-cent of abortion comes from just 12% of the population.” Hoye further pointed out that the 37% of abortions are coming from black women of child–bearing age—only 3% of the US population.

Hoye spoke at the Hawaii Family Life Issues Conference held Friday and Saturday at Hilo’s St Joseph School and sponsored by Hawaii Right to Life. Also speaking, Bobby Schindler, brother of Terry Schaivo and Joseph M. Scheidler, National Director of the Pro-Life Action League.

Hoye’s reasoning is backed up by Angela Franks, author of “Margaret Sanger’s Eugenic Legacy: The Control of Female Fertility.” Franks explains:

Planned Parenthood dates its founding from 1916. To understand Planned Parenthood, one must understand the ideology of (its founder) Margaret Sanger.

While Planned Parenthood adamantly insists otherwise, it is clear that Sanger (1879-1966) was a eugenicist. She believed that birth control served a great eugenic purpose by stopping those she described as the genetically “unfit” from reproducing.

In her 1920 book, Woman and the New Race, Sanger explicitly called her work “nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or those who will become defectives.”

As she wrote in The Birth Control Review, “the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over fertility of the mentally and physically defective.”

Sanger did not rule out coercion if the “wrong” people had children. She wrote, “Possibly drastic and Spartan methods may be forced upon society if it continues complacently to encourage the chance and chaotic breeding that has resulted from our stupidly cruel sentimentalism.” “Choice,” indeed.

Sanger was not the only eugenicist involved with Planned Parenthood. Alan Guttmacher, president of Planned Parenthood from 1962-1974, once told a Planned Parenthood gathering, “The mentally retarded and the mentally defective . . . insidiously are replacing the people of normal mentality.”

Guttmacher, Sanger, and others in Planned Parenthood actively courted the involvement of eugenicists. In the 1920s, the “National Council” of her American Birth Control League had at least 23 persons involved at a prominent level in eugenics-nearly one-half the entire council!

The American Eugenic Society (AES) officially endorsed her group in 1932, and Sanger was a dues-paying member of the AES through the 1960s. Among those on her council was Lothrop Stoddard, a prominent racist who wrote The Rising Tide of Color Against White Supremacy and who also published eugenic articles in Sanger’s magazine.

Said Hoye citing figures from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, “African-Americans are first, Hispanics are second” in the percentage of abortions performed in the US. After decades of assault on the black family, progressive ministers such as Hoye are leading an effort to reverse the tide.

Interestingly black voters in California last November backed the anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 by a 70% margin. Hispanics were second in their level of support for Prop 8.

The reaction among gays was ugly—but revealing. One gay activist describes the scene last November in West Hollywood when the results were announced:

It was like being at a klan rally except the klansmen were wearing Abercrombie polos and Birkenstocks. YOU NIGGER, one man shouted at men. If your people want to call me a FAGGOT, I will call you a nigger. Someone else said same thing to me on the next block....

Over 500 abortions are performed in Hawaii County every year. Most are Hawaiian or other Pacific Islanders.

It’s a special kind of stupid that champions those who would deny your right to exist.

*********************

Not only champions but claims they are responsible for her existence. From the end of the column:
“As a result, my parents became the first in their families to graduate from college, and I grew up a member of America’s middle class. This would not have been possible without Margaret Sanger’s contributions, which benefited millions of Americans from all walks of life. So if she doesn’t belong in American exhibit titled “Struggle for Justice,” then who does?”

Say what?? Abortion and birth control are responsible for her success?? Not her parents? Not her church? Not the millions of armed services members who have fought to keep this great country free?

Truly deranged.

Here's proof --- 1939 letter to Clarence Gamble --- that Margaret Sanger was about the physical elimination of black people in America:

"The ministers work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

No wonder she and the Nazi "Master Race" theorists were mutual admrers.
