Kerry endorses brutal Nazi research on helpless Jewish prisoners



After all, that's what his statements imply, don't they? The only reason we found that the experiments Nazis performed on Jewish captives were barbaric was because of ideology. We believe that human life is inherently valuable and should not be tampered with. Those Nazi experiments produced lots of valuable scientific date (that has actually been incorporated by America, among others: for instance, the results of awful hypothermia experiments have informed policy for pilots downed in icy water; what would Kerry say about that, I wonder?), but ideology leads us to condemn them.

Ideology is the only thing that holds us back and allows us to judge which scientific facts are appropriate to gather, and in what manner. It's a scientific fact that, when you detonate a nuclear bomb over a crowded city, lots of people die both from the initial blast and from the terrible effects of radiation poisoning. Of course, the reason we know that for sure is because two bombs actually were detonated over two such cities, and we then gathered some data. Now I don't want to get into a discussion of Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but needless to say those bombs were not dropped simply for the sake of scientific research. However, if science comes before ideology, then there's no reason why that is at all barbarous.

Candidate Kerry: forsaking all that's valuable in a selfish bid for power.
