MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Santa is busy doing his thing but it doesn't mean that politics and criticism can't continue.

PART TWO --

After reading this, all those who may have been misled proponents of Helen Keller might wish for retroactive lumps of coal in her stocking and wrapped rocks under her Christmas tree.

I've had this @TheBlaze article opened in a tab for about a week, wanting to write about it but time kept getting away from me -- and speaking of Time, The Blaze article is about a Time Magazine article that basically calls Helen Keller "just another privileged white person."  Wait! What???   https://www.theblaze.com/news/helen-keller-white-privilege-time

I finally opened the actual Time Magazine article (I usually refrain from visiting Time or most other left-wing LSM news "sources" so they do not financially benefit from my click for their advertising purposes -- but I wanted to read more about the quote.

Just a few paragraphs into the Time article were these two paragraphs which made me realize that Keller was not just a blind deaf girl who went on to greatness.  She was actually a far-left libtard and "just another privileged white person" -- 

SNIP - If students learn about any of Keller’s accomplishments as an adult, they learn that she became the first Deafblind graduate of Radcliffe College (now Harvard University) in 1904, and worked for American Foundation for the Blind from the mid-1920s until her death in 1968, advocating for schools for the blind and braille reading materials.

But they don’t learn that she co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920; that she was an early supporter of the NAACP, and an opponent of lynchings; that she was an early proponent of birth control... 

She was a member of the Socialist Party and corresponded with Eugene Debs, the party’s most prominent member, and a five-time presidential candidate. She also read Marx, and her associations with all of these far-left groups landed her on the radar of the FBI, which monitored her for ties to the Communist Party. - END SNIP https://time.com/5918660/helen-keller-disability-history/

Those last two words, "birth control," were a link to a New York University website about "The Margaret Sanger Papers Project."

For those who have been living under a rock for the past 50 years, Margaret Sanger is the founder of Planned Parenthood as a form of providing abortions mostly to the black community.  Yes, Sanger was an avowed racist who wanted to control the black population in America -- and probably around the world.

Apparently, Keller's idea of "birth control" is not taking a BCP to help prevent contraception, but her "birth control" was actually pro-abortion and favoring infant euthanasia (a/k/a abortions -- especially to those who may be predisposed to health issues).

SNIP - Keller, who became blind and deaf following an illness when she was 19 months old, did not appreciate being used as a prop for these infant euthanasia opponents. She wrote that Haiselden “performed a service to society as well as to the hopeless being he spared from a life of misery . . . the world is already flooded with unhappy, unhealthy, mentally unsound persons that should never have been born.” - END SNIP https://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/articles/keller.php
