Almost thou persuadest me to be a Leftist

Once I wrote an article called ‘Eugenics and Other Evils’ whose
title I stole from a book of the same name by GK Chesterton. But he,
brilliantly, and I, not brilliantly, pointed out the evident inhumanity
and glaring unreasonableness of a program of ‘scientifically’ managing
human life, breeding men like dogs, and so on.

I received a crackpot letter in my spam filter, so I assume it is was
sent out at random after some sort of automatic spambot found every
article online from any source with the word ‘Eugenics’ in it.

It was addressed to me, but recoil at the thought that one of these
filth knows my name, or feels familiar enough to address me, much less
that he could mistake me or any Christian for one of him.

I am not going to reprint the letter, since I wish no publicity, even
negative, to be given the dreary, predictable, lunatic, hateful and
grotesque philosophy of that branch of modern secular thinking called
National Socialism or Planned Parenthood or Nazism. I am sorry that a
single partisan of that odious philosophy survived World War Two.

My dream is that Jews or Gypsies or Slavs or Blacks should shoot such
vermin down in the street like the dogs they seek to breed us as, to
perish in the gutter without benefit of law or benefit of clergy. Since I
also dream that some day the United Nations building in New York will
be trampled by a giant atomic-powered robot operated by the Israeli
Secret Service, I will admit my dreams are better kept in dreamland. But
I don’t have much sympathy for professional antisemitism.

I must, however reprint certain choice paragraphs of this rank dreck,
to allow for that beneficent exercise of public scorn which may shame
any lunatics in whom some vestige of conscience or humanity remains into
silence.
