That's the kind of wierd position I am in, regarding this stuff.

While I think White Nationalism is goofy, backwards and pointless, I can't bring myself to completely condemn it, either. There's been a ton of social and legal changes in this country over a relatively short period of time, and it can't be easy for many people to be told that their worldview, everything they've grown up believing is now "wrong".

Women entering the workforce, competing with the men, demanding equal pay is a relatively new phenomenon. Integration of schools....heck, just the way the media seems to be overcompensating for past imbalances by perhaps overrepresenting blacks, hispanics and asians.....I can understand how this can be viewed as threatening to a long-established social order.

To, me, it's no mystery at all that things like StormFront exists. Might even be weirder if it didn't, because accomodating/accepting all this change isn't an easy thing. To give to one group, it necessarily has to be taken from another, to whatever extent, and that's not going to get "buy in" from everyone asked to do so. It's "circling the wagons", so to speak, and I think I understand it to some degree.

Just trying to get some perspective on all this, as I think more about it.

Here you're starting to sound like the guy Michael that invoked racism onto the board. Do you really believe that your Hispanic stepfather and black friend are more conservative than yours truly? My views and political philosophy are to the right of Attila the Hun. And I adhere to both social and constitutional conservatism.
No...you do not. You are a social conservative. You are not a fiscal conservative nor are you a constitutional conservative. If you were, you would not be a cheerleader for the GOP.

We have no problem with children or adults celebrating their third world cultures, its just when you make that celebration intefere with or diminish the American culture, coupled with a failure to assimilate to said American culture that we have a hard time with.
Texican culture is hardly 'third world.' Texas was not the only state that declared its independence from Mexico. However, it is the only state that succeeded in that endeavor. While it may 'offend' your 'american' cultural sensibilities for us to have Heroes such as Juan Seguin or José Antonio Mexía, it isn't any of your concern. BTW, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in Texas more so than in Mexico becuase it fullfilled the Monroe doctrine (which was written by Adams). Your ignorance of our history is quite telling.

Its hard for liberals to see just how damaging the constant need to interject these multi cultures into a diverse sort of utopian society, really is.
Utopia does not and cannot exist.

Quote:
Can't you see how Europe is disintegrating before our very eyes because their acceptace of socialism (welfare state), and the acceptance of Sharia law in most of their bigger cities is running rampant.
That is their problem...not mine.

Quote:
Let multiculturalism die a natural death in Europe, but please don't weaken the American culture by praising the multicultural god of defeatism.
They do not suffer under multiculturalism. They suffer under globalism, which you promote via your promotion of the GOP.

Yeah, and to think that Mexicana/Altazan culture of our Southwestern territory wants to take back those western states to make it their own country by force. That makes me want to sign up for one of your spanish bilingual classes so as to learn the new American language. LOL! Fat chance of that happening.
Again, your ignorance is quite telling. The militants which you refer are not considered part of the Texican or Southwestern culture where I have lived most of my 40+ years. They are considered outcasts by natives. Yes, I speak spanish. I also speak Japanese. However, I am not fluent in either in the proper sense. My children will be. Just because I know Japanese does it mean that I wish to force Japanese culture on everyone (though I do enjoy sushi, tea and saki and Japanese chicks are just plain hotties).

Our Republic is unlike all others in the union. We did not give up our sovereignty willingly. The 'treaty' between the US and Texas was never ratified by both parties, nor was a referendum ever offered to the citizens. Anson Jones is not considered 'noble' by any stretch of the imagination down here. However, the treaty that was ratified ([US and Mexico] Guadalupe Hidalgo) requires America to 'honor' Mexican culture and values. Learn your history.

I'd suggest you go to the link above and educate yourself about that which you so clearly know nothing...but why bother?

It's NOT just one individual hating another because of their skin color, religion or whatever; THAT is prejudice. Racism CANNOT "happen both ways," as you ignorantly state; only prejudice can. Racism is inculcated into social systems...and furthered by those like the troglodytes at Strormfront.

Or maybe that distinction's too nuanced for you...
Thanks for the laugh, I love your definition, racism can't happen against whites, love it. It is full of contridictions, such as automatically assuming that whites are the majority (by saying that it is against minorities to boost the whites), so I guess that it is imposible for any country that isn't predominately white to have any racists in it.

Nice rant, but the ignorant score gets a 9 out of 10

Can you believe that comes from the APA? I am still in shock.

You just couldn't keep the Stormfront/White Nationalist topic down in the thunder and lightning basement where it probably should stay. I see a weakness in you, Michael.

Absolutely correct. Did you know that there was such a website prior us being accused as MEMBERS?


For me, this conduct is indicative of what we are dealing with.

I found out why. It is written by Mark Feinberg, and some of his references date back to the 60's, most in the 90's but he still has some from the 60's.

I believe that you were 'asked' whether or not you were a member. LH has already admitted to such. It is said, you are the company you keep. You 'keep company' with LH very often. However, unlike LH and BB I don't recall you delving into their level.
