Perversion in politics: From Margaret Sanger’s smut to Kamala’s cackles

OPINION:

No matter how many times the legacy media outlets try to deny it during this combative election cycle, just a few years ago Kamala Harris was ranked as the most liberal member of the United States Senate. That’s quite a feat with competitors like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to contend with. Perhaps for the first time in her life, Ms. Harris actually accomplished something — and she did it all on her own.

As a nation, we now stand at the edge of a cliff from which there may be no return. In just a few short days, it’s possible that cackling, crazy Kamala could win the presidency.

You think “crazy” is too strong?

This is a woman who believes abortion on demand should be legal from coast to coast through all nine months of pregnancy, a woman who believes tax dollars ought to pay for the sex-change operations of illegal immigrants and other criminals, a woman who raised money to bail out rioters responsible for more than a dozen deaths, thousands of injuries, and billions of dollars in property damage during 2020’s Summer of Love. And this is the woman the Democratic Machine placed on the ballot after Joe Biden’s senility became too big a problem to deny with a straight face.

That little coup shouldn’t have surprised anyone. It’s what the Left does when faced with a challenge: trample democracy, break laws, and impose their will on the American people. In short, they throw a tantrum.

Ms. Harris was the obvious choice, of course.

Perhaps no one better embodies the country’s steady march toward darkness than she does. As I detail in my book “The 1916 Project: The Lyin’, the Witch, and the War We’re In” and the corresponding film, none of the evil we’re seeing trotted out as policy positions in 2024 sprouted up overnight. The world we now find ourselves in grew from seeds planted more than 100 years ago, many by Margaret Sanger, remembered today as the founder of Planned Parenthood and the inspiration behind hundreds of millions of murdered babies worldwide.

In many ways, Ms. Harris is the perfect spawn of Sanger, and not only because she’s gung-ho for abortion anytime, anywhere. For one thing, both women slept their way to positions of influence. While in self-imposed exile in England (after flouting America’s decency laws), Sanger shared her bed with H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Arnold Bennett, and Havelock Ellis, a sexual deviant of the rarest order and a eugenicist. These connections to progressive London society gave Sanger the strategy and resolve she needed to return to the States and unleash her hell-born attack on Christian cultural values.

Kamala Harris’ body count doesn’t include intellectuals of any kind, but it does include talk show host Montel Williams and San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, the latter of which was married and more than 40 years her senior. During his storied career, Mr. Brown was infamous in the corrupt world of California state politics. He appointed Ms. Harris to several lucrative positions and set her up for a successful political career, which his network of rich donors helped to finance. Let’s just say Ms. Harris didn’t rise to become attorney general of California with her winning smile or grand ideas.

In her day, Sanger promoted a godless, hedonistic culture of death that threatened the fabric of society. Now, Ms. Harris promotes the same godless, hedonistic culture of death to finish off what’s left of it. Sanger’s policy proposals were anti-Christ, anti-family, and anti-liberty; Ms. Harris’s policy proposals today are no less, earning her the nickname Jezebel. Sanger cozied up to the coastal progressive elites of her era; Ms. Harris does the same in 2024.

Now, if you know anything about Sanger’s legacy, you might object to this line of thinking. After all, Sanger famously promoted sterilization and work camps for the “undesirables” of society. Being of mixed race, below average intelligence, and holding no real skills, Ms. Harris would have been the exact sort of person Sanger tried to extinguish from this great land.

But remember — Sanger’s racism only went so far. She saw no problem in using people of color for political and social ends. Sanger understood the power of the right spokesperson. She famously recruited black ministers to promote abortion and birth control to their congregations, believing African Americans would trust one of their own. This brand of identity politics has only grown and become more nuanced with time.

The DNC is more than happy to employ Sanger’s tactic by checking off all the right “oppressed minority group” boxes. Ms. Harris is, of course, a woman, and when it’s convenient, she’s also black. (She’ll bring an accent to prove it.) When it suits the occasion, she’ll proudly declare she’s Indian or more broadly, Asian. (She’s been known to pronounce her name as Kah-MAL-ah rather than KAH-ma-lah at those events.) It doesn’t really matter. Only remember that if you disagree with her or criticize her, it’s because you’re sexist and racist.

Let’s be clear. While Sanger was a true believer and a pioneer for a radical Marxist agenda, Ms. Harris is an empty shell of a human being parroting progressive talking points. And though she’s certainly a Marxist, she is neither an intellectual nor an entrepreneur. (In fact, despite her lies about working as a McDonald’s fry cook, there’s no evidence Ms. Harris has ever held a job that wasn’t on the public dime.) And while Sanger could keep audiences spellbound with her vision of a soulless America, Ms. Harris cackles like a hyena and tosses word salads that make her current boss’s off-the-cuff, garbled rants sound like Shakespearean verse.

Early on in Kamala Harris’s short campaign, paid henchmen and “journalists” trotted out the idea that in contrast to the MAGA movement, hers is joyful. But there is no joy at the end of the path she wants to lead this nation down. Because there is no joy in hell. Today, Margaret Sanger knows that all too well.
