The Eugenic War on Fertility

At the level of policy, the extreme Right positions are clear, with the Republican faction candidates
nearly unanimously pro-war, pro-torture, pro-police state, with discussion of racial profiling,
etc. At the level of speech they are usually guarded, and settle for dropping hints at the fascist
ideology behind the policy, which require a little exegesis to clarify...

Though not a candidate for president, the Republicans’ ‘evil
Maria’ Sarah Palin was a sitting governor and candidate for
VP on the 2008 GOP ticket versus Barack Obama, then as
now emphasizing immigration as a campaign theme. She has
since relocated from the great white North to hard-line antiimmigration
Arizona, taking her sights off Russia to look instead
south to Mexico.
In an episode of her briefly televised Alaskan wilderness reality
TV show, which in one scene featured a bear protecting its cub, the candidate and mother

Republican Mosh Pit
Palin’s running mate in 2008, John ‘bomb Iran’ McCain is a case apart, who has no qualms

In 2008, McCain ‘defended’ his opponent Obama on the campaign trail when speaking at a local
event with one of the screened audience members, who stammered into a proffered microphone
He’s...he’s Arab. McCain: No Ma’am. He’s a decent person. Racist inference: Arabs are not decent
people.
All but two of the original eight 2012 GOP candidates
were on the record as pro-war and protorture,
if not pro-racist. Though Ron Paul is
one of the two exceptions just cited, he has
been criticized for past political newsletters in
Texas said to suggest a racist viewpoint. For his
part, Paul pointed the finger at his competitor
