Entry: A Thanksgiving Turkey From a Chickenhawk Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_thanksgiving_turkey_from_a_chickenhawk#10310 Post contents: Your raise interesting points. The belief in a struggle among races, was widespread, perhaps even the conventional wisdom early in the 20th century. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, wrote tracts that you and I would deem virulently racist. Mencken had done everything he could as a foreign correspondent in Berlin to try to stymy America's entry into the first World War. He was literally on the last train to leave Berlin for Switzerland before the outbreak of hostilities, and corresponded with the Kaiser after the war was lost. It appears that in this case, old habits died hard. Sent at: 2008 09 05
