The part that you despise: The founding of Planned Parenthood.
Your first response suggested that Sanger had moderated her views later in life regarding eugenics. Well, yes. After the whole program of eugenics was discredited by the Nazi atrocities she, and others like her, had no recourse but to travel incognito, as it were. "Planned Parenthood" sounds so much more enlightened than getting rid of the human trash, doesn't it? The Left majors in euphemisms, as in the book "1984." But the end result is the same: millions upon millions of babies barbarously murdered. Yes, that's quite an admirable legacy.
Sanger wanted to keep the black population down, hense abortion under the guise of "helping" the blacks. She was a full on racist and another favorite racist of the liberal Democrats.

"Travel incognito"? Who's the one using euphemisms here? "Barbarously murdered? How about calling abortion what it is: a legal medical procedure? You are a ferocious pro-lifers who sees the abortion issue in black and white terms. I, on the other hand, see Planned Parenthood as doing admirable work which includes a wide range of services for women and families. We can both talk until we're blue in the face and we're not going to change each others minds. But for the record not all religions or all denominations within the Christianity agree on when life begins therefore what is 'murder' to you is not necessarily murder to everyone. For that reason you'll never see Roe vs. Wade overturned.
You people buying into Beck's new definition of progressives and his revised history are moronic sheep. It really disturbs me there are people this simple living in this country. It's actually quite dangerous.

So what you're saying is that Beck should have shown the good parts of Stalin's bloody reign in the Soviet Union. Please tell us about the good parts, won't you?
No, what I'm saying that it is disingenuous for someone to proclaim they are doing a documentary on the progressive movement and then cover Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Che and not cover Robert La Follette. I would argue that none of the people Beck chose to focus on would even be defined as progressive in the American sense of the word.
There are plenty on the left that admire Mao and other mass murdering dictators like him, including hussein obama.
Che Guevara is a little darling of the left wing liberal progressives and their progressive academia . hussein obama's campaign offices had Che posters adorning the walls. The left wears his image on clothing and other fond memorabilia YET he dream was to be a killing machine. Lovely huh?
The leftists keep trying to say all the racist are on the right yet they seem to have the serious racist among them. Blacks mostly support the Democrats but let's see what Che had to say about blacks and mexicans:
"We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing." -Che Guevera
"The Negro is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent."- Che Guevara
"Mexicans are a band of illiterate Indians."- Che Guevara
"Given the prevailing lack of discipline, it would have been impossible to use Congolese machine-gunners to defend the base from air attack: they did not know how to handle their weapons and did not want to learn,"- Che Guevara
The Democrats are also the party that has elected a bonified Klan member again and again, Robert Byrd. Oh let's not forget how Barabara Boxer talked to Black Chamber of Commerce, President and CEO Harry Alford. What a racist! He should be so proud that a black man like hm could be in his position
Time and time again the racism slips out of the mouths of the left so you have to wonder just why do blacks gravitate to the Democrats. Can't they see the Democrats just USE them to further their agenda?
What does any of that have to do with your post that I responded to. I guess your moving on because you know that your original post was crap. Look as far as I know Ron Bloom is a Maoist. All I'm pointing out is quoting Mao, particularly the way Bloom did it, doesn't prove that someone is a Maoist. When I quote Ronald Reagan it doesn't make me a believer in what Reagan stood for.
He didn't praise Mao. He agreed with a statement. In context it is a statement about Union negotiation, which he is asserting is better done from a position of power.
For those who hate these little clips as much as I do, here is a link to the whole speech.
Did Bloom say that power comes from the barrel of a gun? How do you say that his words are taken out of context when he did agree with Mao. He even indicated that Mao said that.
Surely there is someone who isn't the hugest murderer in history has said something like that. Well, maybe not in the world of progressive thinking, but somebody.
Listen, I agree with Obama. We aren't anymore of a Christian nation that we are a Buddhist nation or a Muslim or Hindu nation
I would agree with your sense that we are evolving not to be a christian nation. We nonetheless at this time are a majority and are in fact not only founded on Christian ideals but we remain a Christian nation. It is at this point that I have to ask you why you seem offended by that notion? Is it more a rejection of your "parents" and a rebellious sentiment and less of n endeavor to explore the teachings of Jesus Christ as a possibility. Even if you study it and reject it, like myself looking into Marx, it is a very worthwile philosophy if it for whatever reason has captured the imagination of billions for over two thousand years. Surely, that makes it a viable read and at least in contentioin for your attention with such junk science as global warming, the seemed contemporary god of the secular humanists.
If Obama believes," we are no longer a Christian Nation" June 2009, what is in his interest or in our interest to state to the Egyptian forum, "You might say that America is a Muslim Nation". If Obama believes we are just as well a Muslim Nation then why not a Jewish Nation, a Chinese Nation?
What would a Muslim nation look like with Sharia Law over this nation?
First, sorry for truncating your very long post, but this is the portion I wish to address.
Just because a majority of it's citizenry may be Christian, that does NOT make this a "Christian nation". As with ethnicity, this nation is a mixture of many things. We have Jews and Hindus and Muslims and every other religious belief there is represented in our citizenry, as well as those with no beliefs. And if you actually believe this nation was "founded on Christian ideals", then I'm afraid you understand neither Christian ideals nor the ideals under which we really were founded. We are a secular nation that allows it's citizens to worship not only in the way each citizen sees fit, but whatever God, god or goddess that citizen believes in or not worship at all.
Interesting point of view. Why would liberals want to call themselves progressives when neo-cons are working so hard to degrade and demonize the word? I don't know a single liberal who doesn't want to call themselves a liberal.
Maybe you could look at the words of the used to be number one candidate of the Democrats, Hillary Clinton. She said that she didn't want to be seen just as a progressive but as an early day progressive like those of the early 20th century. Yep, she does see herself as a progressive.
