Thank you ever so much, dear wagglebee, for the link! And for finding Amos' reply in the thread. Truly, it was brilliant.

And the article at the top — "Globe and Mail Op Ed Propaganda for Renewal of Eugenics" — is just as chilling today as I'm sure it was when originally published.

It seems so appropriate to cite/reprise it here, on the present thread.

Thank you ever so much, dear wagglebee, for tracking this down for us!

Perhaps the most debilitating attitude expressed by conservatives is reasonableness. It manifests itself as a willingness to compromise. When confronted by leftist fanatics a conservative will typically buckle rather than face a blizzard of accusation.
An undying commitment to reasonbleness means being able to see both (or all) sides of an argument. The result of all this gentlemanly conduct usually results in surrendering some small ground in order to maintain good fellowship. Where, precisely, does this get us? From the perspective of our adversary it simply means that we can be bullied into surrender, or, at least, hushed up.
What happens when the spirit of the French Revolution meets the Spirit of the American Revolution on the battlefield. We shall see, for, this is truly the business we are about.
