Duggar daughter blames the Holocaust on evolution, then compares it to abortion

http://www.salon.com/2014/09/30/duggar_daughter_blames_the_holocaust_on_evolution_then_compares_it_to_abortion/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

So it’s no surprise, then, that Jessa Duggar, Jim Bob and Michelle’s 21-year-old daughter, found a way to tie together many of the extreme conservative beliefs she’s developed over the course of her life, connecting dots between creationism, reproductive choice and the Holocaust. After a recent visit to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., Duggar posted a lengthy comment to Instagram in which she first traced the roots of ethnic cleansing to the theory of evolution, then went one step further and likened abortion to the Holocaust:

“I walked through the Holocaust Museum again today… very sobering,” Duggar wrote. “Millions of innocents denied the most basic and fundamental of all rights — their right to life. One human destroying the life of another deemed ‘less than human.’ Racism, stemming from the evolutionary idea that man came from something less than human; that some people groups are ‘more evolved’ and others ‘less evolved.’” She went on:

So they’re murdered. Slaughtered. Kids with Down syndrome or other disabilities. The sickly. The elderly. The sanctity of human life varies not in sickness or health, poverty or wealth, elderly or pre-born, little or lots of melanin [making you darker or lighter skinned], or any other factor. ” … May we never sit idly by and allow such an atrocity to happen again. Not this generation. We must be a voice for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS. #ProLife

And this is no exception.

Great example, they could have gone down in history for the greatest innovation in rockets, the A-4.
It was incredibly in advance of all other rocketry at that time.

What do they do with it?

Make it into a terrorist weapon, the "V-2."

writing skills if she is going to be a successful right wing spin master.

An entire piece about creationism, reproductive choice, abortion and the Holocaust still she failed to mention Benghazi even once.

She may be a nice person, but she's so very ignorant. Everything she wrote is a regurgitation of what her parents have taught her in a very isolated environment.

this is why kids should at least be required to attend some schooling even if they are home schooled.

they have very restricted lives in terms of gaining knowledge .

it's too bad because i have noticed some of the kids seem to have some natural talents and abilities that if they could just get some education they could do really well.

mostly some of the younger ones . and certainly not the one mentioned in this op who is one of the worst ones along with the 2 older boys.
