I didn\u2019t believe it. Thomas McDonald linked to a string of quotes by the Amazing Randi,<\/a> the famous skeptic guru of the 70s who is sort of a favorite star for many modern atheists. \u00a0Well, the quotes were so bone chilling, so much like a Nazi apologetic for genocide, I thought they may have been taken out of context. \u00a0No insult of Mr. McDonald intended. \u00a0There are just some things your mind can\u2019t fathom. \u00a0 Until you read the actual link here<\/a>. \u00a0Note the\u00a0comments\u00a0 \u00a0Few are actually bothered by the whole \u2018it\u2019s time for the damn retard babies to be wiped out to make room for the mental master race\u2019 scree. \u00a0In fact, at least one seems to be cheering him on \u2013 though the sarcasm meter is awaiting confirmation of the comment\u2019s sincerity.<\/p>\n

If this were some isolated post by a tired and angry man who hopes for nothing but oblivion as the reaper approaches, I would just shed a tear and say a prayer. \u00a0But this, along with the growing progressive dream of eliminating that pesky\u00a0Constitution\u00a0and its\u00a0stupid\u00a0rights not to be liberal,<\/a> remind me that yes, Virginia, there will be more Holocausts. \u00a0I don\u2019t know exactly what they will look like. \u00a0But I\u2019m almost 100% sure why they will happen.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
