For those of you who think the US is the dumbest fuckin' place on the face of the earth, feel free to absorb exactly what we have to deal with here every day. The website below is for the "James Hart for Congress Committee" from the last election. Below that is a small note to give you some background on this "gentleman." Puking is permitted, but try to make it outside first...

Tennessee: Republican Supports Eugenics, Segregation Republican candidates across the country consistently support positions like the teaching of creationism, outlawing abortion, state-sponsored school prayers, and so on. It's rare, however, to find one so extremist as to support eugenics and describe non-whites as inferior.
Newsday explains the views of James L. Hart:
He is an unapologetic supporter of eugenics, the phony science that resulted in thousands of sterilizations in an attempt to purify the white race. He believes the country will look "like one big Detroit" if it doesn't eliminate welfare and immigration. He believes that if blacks were integrated centuries ago, the automobile never would have been invented.
Much of Hart's platform revolves around eugenics, which arose in the early 20th century as a pseudoscientific movement to solve social problems by preventing the "unfit" from having children. It inspired 33 states to pass laws that allowed the sterilization of some 65,000 people, and Nazi Germany used the U.S. examples to justify programs that sterilized and killed millions.
He insists his beliefs have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with "favored races" from Europe and Asia and "less-favored races" from Africa. To achieve his goal of a country populated by "favored races," Hart proposes eliminating both welfare and immigration.
Hart has his own website, and the Newsday article doesnt exaggerate at all. Some Republicans disagree with Hart and are hoping to stop him, but its unclear if they will be successful. One thing is for sure: Hart doesnt try to hide his beliefs, so the votes he gets likely come from people who agree with him or at least think his views arent a big deal.
