Dear Editor:
Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam revealed this past week his true values and character. After a graduation picture from his 1984 Eastern Medical School yearbook surfaced showing a black-faced person and one in a KKK robe, the governor stated (paraphrased) “that this behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I fought for.” Let’s examine this statement.
On Jan. 30 in a radio interview, Northam, a pediatric neurologist, said he knew exactly what would happen if the bill proposed by Democrat Tran on late-term and post-term abortions would pass. He described that a baby born would be kept comfortable, resuscitated if needed, and then the parents and doctor would make a decision. That decision would be to keep or kill the infant — infanticide! I would think this would violate the Hippocratic oath that doctors take to treat the ill to the best of one’s ability — not to kill them as a child born is a viable human being. When Democratic leaders Pelosi, Leachy, Markey and Manchin were asked about the bill, they wanted us to believe that they knew nothing about it!
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, spoke at 13 KKK rallies. In her own words on blacks, she said they were human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning human beings who never should have been born. She promoted racial purification and sterilization. Also, paraphrasing: We don’t want word to go out that we want to exterminate the negro population because of their more rebellious members. www.dianedew.com/sanger.htm Tom Metzger, former KKK and White Aryan Resistance leader said: We must covertly invest in abortion clinics in non-white areas/ghettos throughout America and help raise money for free abortions. Why do black people support the Democratic Party? Do they not know history?
In Governor Northam’s yearbook from the Virginia Military Institute, his nickname was “Coonman” which members interpret as a racial slur. So, has Governor Northam really changed? Ironically, leading up to the election, Northam ran an ad depicting supporters for Republican gubernatorial candidate, Ed Gillespie as racist murderers who hunt schoolchildren from the back of a pickup truck!
Potential Democratic candidates said “nothing” on Northams’ stance on post-term abortions, but criticized the yearbook picture inferring they are not racist and still want the black vote.
