Why mention of the Holocaust should be offensive to everyone

The media is all ablaze by the recent comments of Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee invoking the Holocaust but anyone even closely watching this fallacy called politics knows exactly why he did so.  The frightening part is how many have come to accept voices such as this and how some have even chosen to adopt Mr. Huckabee’s position.  Makes you wonder why so many are willing to say and do whatever to win even if it means defaming and belittling their own principals.  Mr. Huckabee is supposed to be preacher and to see him cast disparage on the plight of another human being has to make any real Christian wonder to whom he truly does serve.  Jesus was murdered by the very people he asked his father to forgive and at no time did he ever try and use the pain and suffering of another to elevate himself so whom should we take a lesson from?  Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump and others like them or God’s only son?  Make up your mind America because you truly cannot serve two masters.  Oh and while you are at it consider one more thing.

The reason any mention of the Holocaust should be offensive to everyone is because even though we wish to flip the blame on Adolf Hitler and his Nazi crew, the honorable among us must hold court on this United States of America for teaching them how to do it.  Has any of you ever heard the word eugenics?  If not, then it is by design.  You see eugenics was an American thing beginning in “1914 when Harry Laughlin published a Model Eugenical Sterilization Law”.  This law was designed to push the Caucasian genes for better babies and the sterilization of those deemed less worthy of a family.  Hitler turned it into ethnic cleansing and a search for that “pure race” but make no mistake the credit goes first to this United States of America as the founder of this practice which, sadly believe it or not is still on the books and legal today.

Eugenics was a widely acceptable practice probably still stands legal in 34 of our current states.  It was even supported by the movers and shakers, or as some wants you to believe, the makers not the takers.  Built on the practices of Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Dalton and supported by prominent figures and big businesses, like Alexander Graham Bell, Oliver Holmes and big businesses like the Carnegie Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Harriman Railroad Group.  So if you were not of the blond hair, blue eyes variety of Americans, chances of a panel of white men deeming you of feeble mind were pretty close to a perfect 10.  Ask the family of Carrie Buck who was 17 years old and the first to be sterilized or Elaine Riddick who was 14 before she was “butchered”. 


You see, there may have been a Germany Holocaust but long before that there was an American Holocaust and this fact should be the reason even a slight mention of the word should offend us all.  It may also explain why so many still harbor ill feelings toward anyone who think them inferior in any way.  Think about it, if you were a Native American, Black American, poor White American or any other race of American and did not display blond hair and blue eyes, you could and often was the target of eugenics still supported by our laws today.  Still confused why some are greatly offended and they are not Jews?

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
