Lest anyone forget, one of the most pervasive changes wrought by the Obama Administration is that involving his army of Czars. One of these is Dr. John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology.
He is proposing that the FCC use its power over the media to force them to air propaganda, er, ads, touting his own peculiar ideas about how mankind should do things like reproduce.
In the past he has been a strident supporter of topics like ZPG (using the power of government to strictly control reproductive rights).
I realize that fans of history will see the striking similarity between the ideas and methodology of the good Doktor and certain unsavory groups who once caused a minor problem in Europe back in the 30's and 40's, but that is just a funny coincidence.
Herr Doktor, er, John Holdren that is, was not yet born back then, and cannot be expected to have learned anything from the unfortunate results of those earlier researchers seeking to improve mankind via their own unique vision.
No, the Doktor is NOT a demon rat nazi, he is just a wannabe who plays one on TV.

Hey, at least he doesn't run around calling his opponents A-holes over and over again.
He just wants to chemical castrate and require parenting licenses. Oh yeah, and there's also that pesky public control of media issue. Somehow or another he just can't get around that whole First Amendment deal.

They would indeed fix many problems with society given a generation or two. The problem is that pesky Constitution. How would concepts such as those interact with the freedoms guaranteed by it? From where I'm standing, they don't mesh in the least so the Constitution wins by default.
That's just me and my silly Constructionalist mind though.

The problem with such "controls" has always lain with who does the choosing.
Nazis like the good Doktor, working from a bizarre leftwing perspective? The malefactors County sees would be the LAST people the Doktor would bother with - odds are good we would see them among the brownshirt muscle enabling der Doktor's campaign! Oh no, it would be folks like US, "clinging to our Bibles and guns and the Constitution" who would be entering concentration camps, getting neutered, and denied any right to reproduce.
Once this particular road is opened up, the toll is inevitably going to rise, and as Castro so succinctly opined "One man, one vote, one time". Its an election you only lose ONCE. I may be engaging in fantasy, but I'm hoping against "Hope" that the "Change" we voted in last time will NOT end up being a Castro-event.

IMO the problem with so many idiots out there is because we simply keep propping them up. We make laws to protect them from their own stupidity. We support them financially when they can’t compete in the workplace. And the list goes on and on.
Heck, I know of a couple that the female is what I consider mildly retarded and she “suffers from migraines” (and has other genetic problems because of inbreeding), her husband is retarded (seriously, he IS retarded), and both of them get paid by the State and Federal Government (so they don’t work, nor contribute to society in a useful way), and to top it off they were allowed to adopt a severely downs syndrome child… and they get paid for THAT as well.
I know that is a severe example (although true) of how messed up things are (IMO) concerning preventing “natural selection” from doing what it is SUPPOSED to do. We got where we are today as a species because the smartest and strongest of us survived and the rest did not. But it is not PC to suggest that each person should advance or fail, both in society as well as in life in general, on their own merits and abilities (or lack of). NO ONE is supposed to die of their own stupidity or natural causes. No matter how polluted the gene pool is, just breed away and be supported by the rest of us in one way or another.
We do NOT need a eugenics program. We do not need to “choose” who lives or dies. We just need to stop trying to save everyone at any cost. It is similar to when they tried to stop all forest fires. What they did was just interrupt natures own cleaning and refreshing cycle. And then when there WAS a fire, it was HUGE and got out of control. Why? Because it had too much fuel to feed itself with. That fuel would not have been there if the natural cycles were allowed to happen.
Well… now they allow burns to happen in many places, and even CAUSE them at times.
The human race is much the same way. We have epidemics that thin the population. We have wars that thin the population. We have …. Well you get the idea. And when you stop all of the things that help control population, you end up with an overpopulated planet… much of which are idiots.
Now don’t misunderstand me. I am not an impassionate person… quite the opposite. But I just think that things have gone WAY too far in the direction of “save everyone, and support everyone”. And in the end we all suffer.

Don't be so down on yourself! Cops should be able to procreate just like us normal folks!
The beliefs of those that surround Obama have been hidden by the state run media and only the Right Wing Nutjobs have made things like this public.
God guns and guts made America and Obama is trying to outlaw, or at least severely restrict, all three.
Well according to one of Obama's little helpers, Mao was a great guy and we all should look up to him too.
This is what you get when you install a bunch of Socialist/ Marxist into the top of the Government.
Buckle up and hang on this is going to be one hell of a ride off into the abyss.
The United States of America, death by suicide. RIP

LOL, yes, they are a bunch of pretty darn brazen little marxist hussies, aren't they? She also spends a lot of time bragging about their control of the "free press", which still spends most of its time joyously rattling their slave chains and kissing the hands that beat them.
The woman's name is Ms. Anita Dunn, Communications Czar for the Obama regime.
My wife was particularly repulsed by this person, and the ugly way she moves her mouth around, chewing her cud between bovine pronouncements of undying devotion to mass murdering totalitarian dictators...
I guess that same attribute is what got her the Czar job.
