Barry's a mixed bag for me. He and his wife were very good friends of Margaret Sanger.
When did he say that and how is it that the party has continued and flourished since this prediction?
Especially because the Democrats asses were kicked to rat shit in 2010.
You keep forgetting your monumental loss in 2010.
I don't know what you base the "friendship" between Goldwater and Sanger on. Likely it was pulled out of the air as these things often are. Not necessarily by you. Just saying that since none of us were there, we don't know the extent of this "very good" friendship. But, Mrs Goldwater was a social activist and, these days, Barry Goldwater would be considered a Democrat!
Having said that and knowing that rw's will jump on this in their usual brainless way, Charles Lindbergh was an active Nazi. And yet, he is still considered a hero by most Americans.
Sanger did enormous good for a lot of very desperate women. Not just in the US but other countries as well. That should never be discounted or forgotten. We don't need to idolize her the way so many still idolize Lindbergh but she should always get credit for what she accomplished for the women of her time.
None of you rabid haters will, I know, but I do suggest her books concerning the ineffectiveness of birth control of the time. She was thrown out of the US for giving out French Letters to women who lived in cold water tenements in NYC. Women who had more children than they could feed but also had a demanding husband who didn't mind taking what he wanted with no thought to another hungry mouth to feed.
Like teepot, Joe Walsh, some of them walked out when they just couldn't feed the children they had produced.
This is the world the rw's want us to go back to and they still hate the women who fight for reproductive control over their own bodies.
In more than one hundred years, we have not made many inroads for women.
I don't care much for some of Sanger's views but her main activism was aimed at easing the terrible plight of very poor women.
