Pro-Eugenics Candidate Running for Congress Again

A Republican candidate for Congress in 2004, repudiated by the GOP for his support of eugenics and talk of “favored races,” has again made it onto the ballot in Tennessee. But evidently not for long. James L. Hart, 62, who marched with Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, will be the subject of a Republican Executive Committee meeting March 25 for a vote on whether he is a “bonafide Republican,” or should be stricken from the ballot in Tennessee’s Eighth Congressional District. Hart won 8,227 votes in the Republican primary election in 2004 and went on to collect 59,853 votes in the general election won by incumbent Rep. John Tanner, D-Tenn., with 173,623 votes.

This
guy won’t do anything to help the Republican party’s reputation as being the
“rich white guy” party. I’d like to see him debate Alan Keyes.

“These are great days we’re living, bros. We are jolly green giants, walking
the Earth with guns. These people we wasted here today are the finest human beings
we will ever know. After we rotate back to the world, we’re gonna miss not having
anyone around that’s worth shooting.” – Crazy Earl, Full
Metal Jacket

“I enjoy killing Iraqis. I just feel rage, hate when I’m out there. I feel
like I carry it all the time. We talk about it. We all feel the same way.”
– Staff Sgt. William Deaton, 30

‘Enemy
Contact. Kill ’em, Kill ’em.’
By Charles Duhigg, Times Staff Writer

Najaf – Tucked behind a gleaming machine gun, Sgt. Joseph Hall grins at his two companions in the Humvee. “I want to know if I killed that guy yesterday,” Hall says. “I saw blood spurt from his leg, but I want to be sure I killed him.” The vehicle goes silent as the driver, Spc. Joshua Dubois, swerves around asphalt previously uprooted by a blast. “I’m confused about how I should feel about killing,” says Dubois, who has a toddler back home. “The first time I shot someone, it was the most exhilarating thing I’d ever felt.” Dubois turns back to the road. “We talk about killing all the time,” he says. “I never used to talk this way. I’m not proud of it, but it’s like I can’t stop. I’m worried what I will be like when I get home.” The men aren’t Special Forces soldiers. They’re just ordinary troops with the Army’s 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment serving their 14th month in Iraq, much of it in daily battles. In 20 minutes, they will come under attack.

I’ve known some very peaceful and amicable practitioners of Islam. I’ve been told
that the Koran does not advocate violence. I haven’t read the Koran myself, so I
have to take their words for it. Based on this “bias”, it bothers me greatly
when people call Islam evil and fail to recognize that Allah is just as much the
God of Abraham as YHVH is (though Jews and Christians would take issue with Islamic
worship).

A GetReligion
post tackles the issue of Islamic beheadings. It is of particular interest to
me because a contributor to the post writes for the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette. In what I’ve read, Ann Rodgers has always covered the Catholic
Church honestly and fairly.
