Echoes of Nazism from Seattle MSM
The eugenics trope was used by Nazi Germany to dehumanize Jews and other groups deemed subhuman, by nature of their defective genetic material.
And now the American far left, given a voice by mainstream media in Seattle and supported by studies from leftist think tanks, has come up with their own version of eugenics: Ken Schram Commentary: Just Born The Right Way? (Hat tip: FlyingTigress.)
According to a new study published in the American Political Science Review, being politically conservative is, in part, a matter or genetics.UPDATE at 6/21/05 9:49:56 pm:
Ive long wondered how an otherwise seemingly rational person could adhere so strictly to stilted ideologies; how they could be so consistently willing to smother a sense of social well-being.
Its merely a matter of having been dumped in the shallow end of the gene pool.
Theyre sorta like the puppy who piddles in the middle of the floor: They just dont know any better.
To be sure, the study says that how someone is raised may determine their political party affiliation, but its genetics that appears to set one on a philosophically conservative course.
To me, that helps explain why PBS threatens their intellect, or why they are so at peace with going to war.
Its not that conservatives mean to favor the rich over the poor and middle class.
And its not that theyd rather drill for oil than preserve the environment.
Because its not really their fault.
Theyre just born that way.
More on this genetic pseudo-validation of the far lefts superiority complex, at (where else?) the New York Times: Some Politics May Be Etched in the Genes.
