The problem with this is that Mr. Beck couches the history of eugenics as a liberal or progressive movement which mises the point that these terms did not have the political charge early in the 20th century that they did later. It also ignores the face that the concept was more a class issue supported by the wealthy and powerful. One must not forget that "progressive" can be used to describe both conservative ideologies and liberal ideologies.
@WraithAllen Eugenics was the science of totalitarians everywhere, but in the US it was specifically Margaret Sanger, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Franklin Delano Roosevelt who advocated eugenics. Today would you place these people on the right or the left of the political spectrum?
What G.B. really wants is us as citizens of the world collectively is think about it and be aware of how things are unfolding. It is too much like the previous Nazi Plan unfolded. Yes the economy is unfolding and yes we do have some pretty evil people in charge so we better be paying very close attention now!
Glenn Beck has done a big flip since he figured out his diabled daughter would be subect to no medical care under the new health bill. He has lost tons of advertisers because of this. I am not a Beck fan but truth is truth! He reports this so we might never forget what has been done before. If you want to help you can message him on his site and report things and be your own Czar. I like that idea. We the People in Charge! I have a niece just like his daughter and she did well I get his point.
It obviously did not work.....my country is as stupid as ever. What is Glenn worried about?

Glenn needs to talk about Ending the Fed.
Unless we end it we're doomed.
