7. The Eugenics Tract that so inspired Hitler may have been funded by Rockefeller Foundation

Eugenics is clearly an abhorrent concept, mixing concepts of livestock breeding, primitive genetics and anything else that could remotely support it.

As Darwin's sons were late 19th century 'progressive elites' they were involved with eugenics.

So it's a great vehicle to carry other boogie men of the religious right.

But American religious leaders were also part of the eugenics movement...

If anyone has the inclination and time...here's a book that links American religion to promotion of eugenics.
