YOU WANT US TO STOP MAKING ROOMS FOR OUR CHILDREN?
DID I HEAR YOU SAY, 'NO NATURAL GROWTH'?
DO YOU MEAN WE MUST STOP 'BEING FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLYING'?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND!
Do the following have anything in common?
[theoretically]
George Mitchell
Hillary Clinton
France under Vichy
Nuremberg Laws
Wannsee Conference
Reinhard Heydrich
Canada's Mackenzie King
The New York Times' Tony Judt

"When our ship came to Philadelphia...back in April 1944. This boat was the Serpa Pinto (one of the few Jewish refugee voyages that were successful) and, as my sister Sarah recalls in her memoirs, "The city arranged planks upon the docking area and had us under armed guards lest we step on American soil."
"None is too many?"
"No more children" ?
"... when the language gets to 'the number of Jewish births,'
I'm not hearing Mitchell, but watching Leini Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will."
The quotes here are from a piercing article by Jack Engelhard that can be read in full here INNews , nevertheless read on:
"Those who've been there before, like me, are on alert for slippery talk like 'peace process' when we know the merchandise being sold is the yellow badge."
"They make smooth their tongue," wrote King David, "against Your anointed.... Save Your people and bless Your inheritance, Your children."
Triumph of the Will (for those who can stomach this)
From The History Place
An American Journalist's personal visit from a 1934 :
"I was a little shocked at the faces," ... "when Hitler finally appeared on the balcony for a moment. They reminded me of the crazed expressions I once saw in the back country of Louisiana on the faces of some Holy Rollers... they looked up at him as if he were a Messiah, their faces transformed into something positively inhuman."
Similarities anyone?
