equus pallidus, posting over on Vox Day's blog, provides evidence that Richard Dawkins may be closet Nazi:

LONDON, November 21, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A leading
international anti-religion crusader and supporter of Darwinian
theory, Dr. Richard Dawkins, has said that the pseudo-science
of eugenics that drove the Nazi regime’s genocidal project “may
not be bad.”
Since the end of the second world war, the name of eugenics,
the social philosophy that the human species or particular races
ought to be improved by selective breeding or other forms of genetic
manipulation, is one that conjures instant images of the Nazi death
camps and “racial hygiene” programs.
In a letter to the editor of Scotland’s Sunday Herald, Dawkins
argues that the time has come to lay this spectre to rest.
Dawkins writes that though no one wants to be seen to be in
agreement with Hitler on any particular, “if you can breed cattle
for milk yield, horses for running speed, and dogs for herding
skill, why on Earth should it be impossible to breed humans
for mathematical, musical or athletic ability?”
The article Vox was originally posting to was equally frightening:
LONDON, November 20, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a
statement yesterday Lord Falconer, the Lord Chancellor
of England has warned doctors that they may face prison
sentences if they refuse to starve and dehydrate patients
to death. Criminal charges of assault could be laid against
doctors or nurses who refuse to allow patients to die, even
by removal of food and hydration tube.
The Labour government unveiled its new guidelines for doctors
to follow the Mental Capacity Act that is to come into effect
next spring.
The guidelines instruct doctors that a patient’s “advanced
decision,” what is often called a “living will,” that includes a
request for cessation of medical treatment must be followed
even if it means the patient will die. To fail to do so, in other
words, to take action to keep a patient alive, could result in
criminal charges or heavy fines.
I said in the post "Insufficient Postage: "Letter To A Christian Nation", the Deutsche Christen Movement and This Election", that our current times look like 1930s Germany reborn.
It sure sounds like the same arguements the Nazi's used to justify the Aktion T-4 program and efforts to Aryanize the German nation through eugenics: end the sufferering of those afflicted and the burden on those left behind, and the cost of medical care, and "quality of life". And now we add "I wonder whether, some 60 years after Hitler’s death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons. " And this one too: "I don't think one ought to bring a clearly disabled child into the world.”
I hate being right like this.
Lord Jesus, come quickly. Before these fools do something stupid.
