Recently, I have been looking into the American Eugenics movement in the early part of the 20th century. For example, the first state to impose "mandatory sterilization" laws was Indiana in 1907. Interestly enough, it is my understanding that the Nazi's referred to their sterilization method as the "Indiana Method". By the mid-1930's, just about every state had a "mandatory sterilization" law.
The really interesting part is that it appears the American Eugenics movement was spearheaded by the leftist intellectual elite of the day - not the right.
Finally, it has been very interesting to learn how the Nazi "final solution" did not just come out of nothing. Similar ideas had been brewing for 40 years. The Nazi's just took it to horrible, unimaginable extremes.
If you want to learn more about the American Eugenics movement, go here. However, prepare yourself. Anyone who values individualism, a non-intrusive government and freedom will likely find, as I did, American Eugenics to be disturbing and extremely offensive.
Thank goodness for that.
These idiots in the media continue to associate Nazi crimes with a European right that (apart from a very few neo-Nazis,) at worst, exhibits distaste for Jews. This at a time when Jewish lives are in more and more danger from the Islamofascists and their allies on the left.
They have trouble there, we have weapons, and we will use them. If they can ever take our guns, they will take our lives. As always, Americans will have to...stand, and deliver!
Now....think about the second Amendment to the Consitiution of these here United States. Why do we need weapons? Against the thief/rapest/burgler/killer? Or against the goverment that would take your liberties from you, by force?
Disgraceful.
At first, the Nazis merely wanted to round up all the Jews and exile them to the most inhospitable lands they could find. Madagascar was considered, as well as Siberia once the Soviet Union was conquered. In practical terms this would have been little different from gassing them outright; still, simply rounding up all the Jews and murdering them turns out to have been a last resort, embraced by people who truly felt a sincere belief that the elimination of Europe's Jews was a moral duty.
