1. I have rarely found Democrats/Progressives/Liberals who can provide a calibrated defense of what they support, what they will vote for. They can ever win an argument with a conservative, which is why their constant tactic is to silence the other side....as their state media has done with the story of Joe Biden being the bought and paid for asset of several foreign governments.
But, when they cannot silence the other wide, the first attack is to claim that the other side is dummmmmmm!!!
And....there are lots of Leftists who are arguably intelligent, smart, educated. But that has nothing to do with the question of good and evil.
2. Which brings me to Progressive icon, George Bernard Shaw, who passed on on this date.

George Bernard Shaw, (born July 26, 1856, Dublin, Ireland—died November 2, 1950, Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, England), Irish comic dramatist, literary critic, and socialist propagandist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.

3. In addition to being totalitarians, a huge stain on that doctrine is how easily it endorses slaughter as well as eugenics.
"George Bernard Shaw wrote: “The only fundamental and possible socialism is the socialisation of the selective breeding of man.” Bertrand Russell proposed that the state should issue colour-coded “procreation tickets” to prevent the gene pool of the elite being diluted by inferior human beings. Those who decided to have children with holders of a different-coloured ticket would be punished with a heavy fine. HG Wells praised eugenics as the first step towards the elimination of “detrimental types and characteristics” and the “fostering of desirable types” instead."

4. In Britain, George Bernard Shaw supported Hitler in the mass media, showing an article entitled "Shaw Heaps Praise on the Dictators....Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin." The Left supported Hitler because they knew he would kill.
5. George Bernard Shaw met with Stalin,as well. He returned, and wrote, “ We cannot afford to give ourselves moral airs when our most enterprising neighbors,the Soviet Union, humanely and judiciously liquidatesa handful of exploiters and speculators to make the world safe for honest men.”
Now, lest one thinks this was said sarcastically, Lady Aster and others who were present, and took notes, from the meeting, wrote that that was exactly and precisely what Stalin had said. He parroted the exact line that Stalin had given him!

a. When he returned from the Soviet Union,Shaw backed up every lie that Walter Duranty reported. He testified that there was not, and never could be, a food shortage in the USSR.

Smart, educated, even well-intentioned......time and again we find these attributes in all sorts who have no respect for human life.

The eugenics movement Britain wants to forget
Britain and America are two countries that, in recent years, have led the world in attempting to give disabled people rights and equality. During his presidency, George Bush Senior was proud to sign the Americans with Disabilities Act while the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act has gradually...
