That picture is why I don't take lesbianism very seriously ie., its such a ridiculous, lampooning emulation of heterosexuality. I mean, here you have the pretty (female) dyke on the left, and the butch (male) lesbian on the right. Its clear the woman on the left wants to be with a man at some level, but because she got molested by her uncle or some such other horrible thing, she wound up being preyed upon by some woman-who-pretends-to-be-a-man (who thus feels "safe" to her by virtue of her status as a person who is sans penis). At least with male homosexuals, they often BOTH act like teenage girls…which is often annoying as Hell, but as least it makes sense for them to exist as a couple. Lesbianism seems largely grounded in confusion/deception.

Everyone has always known that it wasn’t exactly a coincidence that none of our aircraft carriers were present when the Japanese attacked Oahu. It was common knowledge back when I was a schoolboy in the 1970s.

I lived in the Bay Area for 34 of the 39 years from 1972-2011 (the other five years were spent in other, decidely inferior parts of the once-Golden State), and I still don’t know where “Burlingame” is supposed to be. I just thought that might amuse some of y’all. It amuses me, at any rate.

Excellent article on an always-interesting (and sorely neglected) topic.

A few thoughts:

Pearl Harbor was not merely the 2nd time the Japanese used a sneak attack to great success in the initating of modern warfare, but rather the 3rd. The first time was in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95.

“Russia was humbled, becoming the first western power defeated by an ‘inferior’ Asian nation.”

This is technically correct, as it is qualified by the term “Asian,” but more to the point, the first war in which a modern Western nation-state was defeated by a nonWhite people was actually the First Italo-Ethiopian War (of 1894-95, again).

Kiza says: “If I understand commentators here correctly, it is the Jewish bankers who decided who would win a war, any war. Hmmm, I am a bit skeptical. Besides, Jews have experienced pogroms and expulsions in most European countries: Spain, France, Germany and so on. Why would the Jews single out Russia?”

That is an excellent question; I do not know why the Jews seemed so particularly vexed about Russia. But they did seem to be particularly vexed about Russia, for whatever reason. Perhaps because Spain and France were no longer pursuing anti-Semitic policies at the level of intensity that Russia was?

Why are most of the comments about Israel?

My fiancee works in our state’s Social Services department, and I can assure you that you need to show ID in order to collect food stamps, welfare, or to participate in essentially ANY OTHER government program, hence I see no reason why it should not also be required in order to participate in an election.

I can’t help but think that a test, administered to four-year-olds via tablet, has a bias in favor of the sort of households who would think it was somehow a good thing for a child of three or four (or even two?) to be screwing around with a tablet, rather than playing with blocks, Lincoln Logs, and other more age-appropriate activities. And while I am sure there are plenty of nice people who’ve made such choices, I can’t helpt but think this skews admission into Manhattan’s elite pre-schools in favor of the children of the sort of people I might be inclined to characterize as “rootless cosmopolitan degenerates” (which is to say, the sort of people apt to be unquestioning functionaries of the ruling class). Of course, maybe that’s the only kind of people left in Manhattan, at least among those who can afford to shell out $40K per anum for a pre-school. But I find it disturbing none the less. Why can’t this test be adminstered on paper, you know, almost as if we weren’t living in a pale imitation of a [bad] dystopian sci-fi novel? Just a thought.

Well, let us all hope (and pray) that “rod1963” is incorrect.

Sadly, he probably is not.

I don’t have much to say (other than to note that I understand the worse-is-better sympathies of some of the other commenters here, although I’m not certain I agree with them…will you gentlemen be casting your ballot in favor of Hillarious Rotten Klinton in 2016, or is this all just a LARP on your parts?), but this is a great article, and I just wanted to encourage you to keep up the good work.

The only “conspiracy theory” needed here is the one where European aviation authorities conspicuously failed in their [incredibly obvious] duty to shut down commercial flights over eastern Ukrainian airspace (for flights originating out of EU member states, such as The Netherlands, that is). It was almost inevitable that if they were so delinquent in their duties, that the Donetsk separatists would eventually shoot down an airliner, thus making Western intervention on behalf of the [illegitimate, criminal] junta in Kiev, a great deal more likely.

Let’s not be too hard on Mr. Roberts here. While I think his essay overstates the case a bit, its conclusions are not particularly far-fetched. If Mitt Romney had won the recent Presidential election he rather nearly did win, we might well be facing the prospect of nuclear conflict with Russia. Had John McCain won the election previous to that, we’d probably already be dead. Perfidious imbeciles like John Kerry, Samantha Power, and Victoria Nuland, will probably be restrained by President Obama to a sufficient degree that no, actual atomic warfare with Russia will not ensue. But he’s entirely correct to angrily point out the reckless and immoral insanity innate to the fact that we’ve reached a point where this even need be said.

I have a working hypothesis to the effect that guys like Julian Castro, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton, were cultivated for political leadership from a very young age (like their teen years), by people who are essentially part of the intelligence community. This was done in order to to guarantee that no more George McGovern-types ever make it through the primaries ie., any Democrat who reaches the White House can be assured of being someone who’s easily controlled, and otherwise Deep State-friendly (thus permitting us to avoid any unpleasantness, such as we once saw in Dallas). I can’t even come close to proving this, of course…but I don’t think I’m very far off from whatever will eventually turn out to be the truth of the matter.

“Do people even go to bars in California? It’s hard to imagine how you can go to a bar a lot when it’s 75 and sunny all the time. Especially also when you have to drive everywhere.”

You’re observation is spot-on; there really aren’t many bars in California (although I didn’t realize that until I moved to the MidBest; I used to think it was “America” that lacked bars, but now I know its just California…and for some very good reasons, which you’ve already enunciated.

I’m mortified that I made an apostrophe error. Rest assured, I know the difference betwen your and you’re. Its just a typo (and one I’m apparently not being permitted to edit). Please ignore it.

“Italians and Irish are not voting blocks in LA, or anywhere outside of the Northeastern USA.”

Italian-Americans are still somewhat of a voting bloc in San Jose (particularly in Council Districts Three & Six). The fact they have retained some degree of ethno-political cohesion is one of the main reasons that the current San Jose Mayoral contest is between Dave Cortese and Sam Liccardo. Either way, the aye-tayes win.

“Anybody who wants to limit free speech is a fascist”: oh what rubbish.

Yes, the does constitute something of a slander of fascists.

Wow. This article packs a heck of a punch. Bravo!

I shall be sharing it on my Facebook timeline, for what little that is worth.

“Obviously given this history, I reserve judgment for now, but the fact that he was a thug does not mean the cop, who was unaware of the fact that he was the robber, could shoot him in cold blood. Of course, it makes it likelier he was assaulting the cop and thus the shooting was justified. But that’s not necessarily what happened.”

It unlikely we’ll ever know for sure, but there is a reasonable basis for suspicion that the cop over-reacted when he shot that guy. But the fact the victim was a thuggish, habitual felon, ought to make this a minor local story (you know, kinda like if he’d gunned down a pecaeful White mother of eight), rather than a national brouhaha.

“I’m not a libertarian and I’m not naive about the kind of tactics needed to deal with what you speak of. But what you are arguing is disgusting.”

Be that as it may, it also happens to be true.

“Coywolves, or Eastern coyotes, as White prefers to call them, have since pushed south to Virginia and east to Newfoundland.”

Maybe I’m just dumb or something…but how the heck did they get to Newfoundland? Its an island.

It occurs to me they may have meant the mainland (“Labrador”) portion of the Newfoundland & Labrador province of Canada, rather than the actual island of Newfoundland. Although Wikipedia’s map does show Eastern Coyotes to be found on the island itself.

“This would be funny if 99% of Americans and Europeans didn’t believe this shit.”

I don’t know about Europeans, but 99 percent of Americans most certainly do NOT believe this shit. Here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, I’d probably get my ass kicked, if I went around making similar claims. I don’t know ANYONE who’d believe that. Even back in California (“Silicon Valley”), I doubt a majority would buy it (and it we could exclude White-females-under-30, it wouldn’t even be close).

“Five seats in the House of Representatives, none in the Senate. Net loss of one governor’s chair. Odd and unexpected. Not major.”

1998 was a Democratic upset; we expected to gain seats, right up until the returns started coming in on Election night. So it was very odd and unexpected (and most unwelcome!), but it certainly wasn’t major (as you correctly noted).

“Just apply an SPF50 on that alabaster pigmentation of yours and you will survive Honolulu.”

I’m not exactly sure how, or why, some statistically significant portion of the population finds the notion of having to slather your body with some greasy sludge before leaving the house, to be a totally acceptable practice, akin to grabbing a coat on chilly days. But its not.

“Whoa. Gov Rick Perry indicted:

They are clearly removing GOP competitors to Hillary.”

ROFL! I can think of few prospects more likely to ensure a Hillarious Rotten Klinton presidency than the GOP nominating that treacherous clown. You DO realize he’s one of the most pro-Amnesty Republicans in the nation, right? His hyper-cynical, dishonest granstanding of the last few weeks not withstanding.

“We must also put the video in context, within context it is very minor indeed. That young man, Mike Brown,was not in the same position as police officers who are in positions of power where they can exert their agency over others in unimaginable and horrific ways, as we have learned, in the cold-blooded aftermath of the Ferguson incident, as Mr. Brown lay lifeless and uncovered for four hours after being shot multiple times.

Mr. Brown went to the store, possibly took some cigars, and it appears he got into a minor scuffle as he tried to leave the store. The clerk violated basic loss preventions rules– he should have backed off and called the police if anything. Mr Brown’s alleged petty larceny should be seen for what it was–social anger of a disenfranchised young man facing a limited future in a society which oppresses men and women who look as he does.

If police officers were educated in sociology and the liberal arts they would be more aware of the plight of young men like Mr. Brown and more sensitive and cooperative in how they interact with disenfranchised members of society, which would produce a more equitable society than the racially-divided dystopia we still, unfortunately, have today.”

So, what part of Maine do you reside in, anyway?

“…we have a issue that ensures high turnout in November in an election with no Barack. Who benefits?”

Its Whites who are going to be increasing their turn out (in order to vote against the Party of Rioting & Amnesty). The Democrats well understand this, which is why Hillary and the rest of their crowd is keeping mum. Its damage control, ’cause their interesrs are what’s getting damaged in Ferguson. White voter turn-out will be quite high this year, wheras Blacks will do what they always do during off-year elections, the same thing never-married White women under 30 do ie., not vote.

“Oh no here come the scary brown people! Surely us white men with are superior intellect can outcompete the benighted darkies? You guys sound like the biggest bunch of pansies.”

I really ought to resist the urge to feed the trolls, but surely you DO understand there’s more to life than competition for jobs? Yes, I’m quite confident no Mexican immigrant will take my job. But that doesn’t mean allowing another ten million or so Mestizos into this country, won’t result in a lower standard of living for millions of my fellow Americans (particularly among the working poor). Your attempt to reduce this to an issue of narrow self-interest is both vulgar and crass, as well as indicative of the sort of thinking that “progressive”-types generally impugn to those of us on the right. Plus the simple fact of the matter is, we don’t have enough jobs for the people living here already, so how does it any make any sort of rational sense to bring in millions of more people?!?

Yeah, he’ll do it between Election Day and New Year’s Day, or not at all.

“If a black guy can become a blonde woman…”

He can’t.

“You may wish and hope and pray that your people don’t become a loyal voting block for the Democrats, but the evidence says otherwise. Another reason why we don’t need any more of you in this country. Why should I want to import more people who will only seek to undermine me and my people?”

I share your skepticism of the idea that Indian-Americans (or “Hindoos,” for those who enjoy archaic spelling conventions) are natural Republicans/conservatives, but in fairness, its not a totally preposterous idea. They tend to be highly educated, prosperous people and/or small business owners (this last is undoubtedly more significant).

It seems to me that “holistic” is an unusually clever way deploying a synonym for “arbitrary,” in such a way that it comes across as unobjectionable.

“European immigrants to the UK are often simply left amazed by how feral and degenerate lower class English and Scots are.”

My understanding is that this has been a problem for centuries. I don’t really know why the British working classes are so roughly hewn, however. There may be an inbreeding issue, being an island and all.

“What Obama and his lieutenants really want is ‘to break up Russia, subjugate its economic space, and establish control over the resources of the giant Eurasian continent. They believe that this is the only way they can maintain their hegemony and beat China.’”

If that’s what they truly believe, they are insane. Breaking up Russia would deliver its eastern half into Chinese hands.

“The only election Bill Clinton ever lost followed his education reform which included testing teachers.”

Just for the record, ol’ Wild Bill also lost his first election ie., a 1974 run for Congress.

” In 1913, Churchill called in the head of Cunard and said Lusitania would have to be refitted for a war he predicted would break out in September 1914.”

I’m ususally quite open-minded to the potential veracity of “conspiracy theories,” but this seems an extraordinary claim. How could Churchill have known, in 1913, that a war was to begin in September of 1914 (or August, as it eventually turned out), without being privy to advance knowledge of the assassination of the Austo-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinanad and Archduchess Sohpia, in Sarajevo? I’m not saying he didn’t know, but if there’s substantive evidence that he did, then all the history books of that era are going to have to be re-written.

“You need to remember back there wasn’t a good technology to identify ships on open ocean. U-boat captains followed the strict ROE on open ocean ordered by Hitler. ”

Corporal Hitler wasn’t directing U-boat rules of engagement in the Great War.

“The Somme campaign had consumed well over a million casualties in total for both sides. The Verdun struggle probably not many less. In the east the Brusilov offensive cost the Russians ALONE over a million casualties. None of these battles gained anything strategically. You would think ANY STATESMAN with half a brain would give thanks to god his country was not involved in such madness and butchery. But Wilson was an egomaniac and wanted to have his hour on the world stage. His arrogance ruined everything.”

Conservatives often cite Wilson as one of the worst, if not the worst, U.S. President. That doesn’t go far enough. He was one of the worst major national leaders in all of human history.

I must say, I’m somewhat horrified your first drinking experience involved chugging gin.

“What a strange argument. His dad seems happy and fine. So he’s not as smart and quick as he once was, is Emanuel saying he’s better off dead? Why exactly?”

Because he’s evil, just like his two brothers.

“How much did coal miners in West Virginia get paid? Not very much. What did rednecks in coal-rich counties get from coal-mining companies?”

Yes, well, no one claims that West Virginia is some sort of economic miracle, which is wise, because it self-evidently is not. And as you so effectively point out, albeit by implication, neither is Botswana. And yet people claim that it is.

Comstock is also a Feminist. I would vote for the Democrat (or Libertarian) before that horrid woman.

“Teaching at Tufts, getting paid for speeched and establishing a thing tank? Doesn’t sound like legit activities for a tourist to me.”

Agreed.

Deport this clown!

“Plus the jogging-runners world-marathons craze took off about 1972 and was good for 20 years.”

The main thing which has changed since the 1970s & 80s, is no one calls it “jogging” anymore. But they still do it. Maybe not quite as much as in 1979, but a heck of a lot more than in 1959.

“…Sandra Cisneros, a woman ‘with an independent sexuality,’ whatever that is.”

I’m going to go WAY out on a limb, and assume it means she’s a lesbian.

I assume sports writer are so uniformly and obnoxiously leftoid due to a top-down command from the Inner Party. Sports writers primarily write for straight White (and often young) males, and the powers-that-be fear this group pretty much exclusively. So they get an extra heapin’ helpin’ of the quasi-Bolshevist treason spiel.

“Can you imagine the effort required to hold the line against a potential inflow of tens of millions of migrants a year – even assuming that European nations will eventually find the sense to co-operate on this?”

They could do it for less than one-tenth the cost of not doing it.

“Hmm… must be judgemental day in tightly puckered anus land. How upsetting it must be for you to not be able to dictate to others what they can do with their bodies.”

Oh please, do cease your girlish whining! Its not freedom you crave (as you already have the freedom to cover your entire body in as many ugly, garrish tattoos as you like), but rather approval. And I’m sorry, but we’re not going to give it to you. Strike that; I’m not sorry one little bit. Grow up!

“…pale male as the ancient Syrians were (Antiochus III Great King of Syria)”

“For heaven’s sake, the guy was a Greek.”

A lot of the people of Syria have substantial Greek ancestry. The idea its just some uniformly Arab society is a falsity that, I suspect, has been promoted by the mass media so that people will feel less bad about killing the people who reside there* (as we almost began doing last year, whereas most of the ISIS operatives we’re killing this year are not actually Syrians of any kind). Damascus is nearly 40 percent Greek Orthodox. This isn’t just some weirdo coincidence, anymore than it was a coincidence Syria was once ruled by Greek kings. Greek people settled in Syria in large numbers during historical memory, and they remain there to this day.

*The American people have grown used to our Armed Forces killing Arabs, alas.

“Also notice the lack of gratitude whereby she spits upon the very people attempting to make her employable and move her up.”

I think some of that may be a simple case of her being too stupid to realize she ought to be grateful.

“I, um, did this in college for a couple semesters. At least through the place I did it at, which appeared legitimate, there was no quality control. I was given a phone survey about various things, including academics, family medical history, my own medical history, but there was nothing stopping me from lying my ass off. They did do a physical and blood tests for venereal diseases, but no genetic testing, and certainly no confirmation of SAT score. Hell, they didn’t even ask for a student ID from the campus next door that I said I was going to.”

This was identical to my experience as well, when I briefly fulfilled this role at a facility adjacent to my university campus. I think they asked to see my student ID, but otherwise I could have lied about any other detail.

“You don’t need an especially high IQ to come to such a decision: a moderate IQ and a bit of backbone is quite enough.”

Indeed. Israel has essentially undertaken the same policy that every auto mechanic and shoe salesman in the USA would regard as axiomatic (or “common sense”).

“A democratic and independent Ukraine is much preferable to Putinism, and a democratic Hong Kong is preferable to Communist Party authoritarianism.”

Do you provide reasons for these assertions, or are we to simply swallow them whole as the sacred dogmas of your civic religion? I know that comes across as rather sarcastic, but seriously, WHY do we want demockrazy to come to Hong Kong? And is the Anglo-American variant of socio-cultural degeneracy so much better for Ukraine than what Vladimir Putin’s worldview has on tap? You seem to think your remarks constitute some sort of truism, but I can assure you, they no longer do. Its not 1989 anymore.

“One correction. American women such as librarians have been drawing their ‘appropriate’ sword since at least 1995.”

Yeah, the first time I ever had something I said (or rather typed, on a BBS no less) criticized as “inappropriate” (and yes, it was by a woman), was in 1994. I remember the year because that also happened to be the year I was living in Orange County (California), and because it really irked me. I mean, seriously, you can’t just go around calling things “inappropriate,” without providing some basis upon which to declare them as such. Or at least you darn well shouldn’t be doing that.

“Coffelt’s death did not apparently make much of an impression on Truman, who commuted Collazo’s death sentence. Predictably, this lead to Collazo’s eventual release and a hero’s welcome back in Puerto Rico, allowing him to spend jolly 15 years of his life before he died of old age at 80. Coffelt, who was killed at 40, never got this chance.”

This is all very true, but let us also remember one important thing: The Puerto Rican nationalists were right! Both by their own standards (they really are a separate nation, so why wouldn’t they feel entitled to their own state?), and by our own (we’d be better off without Puerto Rico as a region within our state).

I’ve always been a firm believer in what we used to call, at another website, “the Eugenic Posting Policy.” Meaning that while free speech is an ideal to be cherished and upheld, its not only not censorship (at least not in the ugly sense of the word), its actually quite necessary (even a duty!) to limit the amount of sheer idiocy permitted on any given website that is open to public comment. Otherwise, its just too easy for the Imbecile-American Community to drown out interesting discourse.

“I remember being 15 and 16. At that age, you’d have to be a real nutjob to pick on a ten year old kid like that.”

Yes, that was the first thought which occurred to me as well. I was violently bullied in the 1970s myself, but almost invariably by guys my age, or perhaps a year or two older. There were a few guys who were older bullies, but they were inevitably guys who were deranged and/or eventually wound up in prison.

“German sounds about as sexy as Cantonese.”

The German accent is sexy coming from a woman, but not a man.

I’m not sure why, but I think that tends to be true with most Germanic and also Slavic languages.

“Well, how did that work out for Barbara Kahn in Minnesota when she lost to an ultra conservative Somalian Koran Thumping legal immigrant. ”

Actually, her name is Phyllis Kahn, and she was renominated in the Democratic primary with just a hair over 60 percent of the vote. It was a strong challenge to an incumbent legislator in her own primary, but she did not come particularly close to being defeated.

“If this guy was white he would have gotten treatment and still be alive. THIS is white privilege folks”

In point of fact, the man did receive hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars worth of free medical treatment, so you are apparently confused about something.

“What could be so uplifting about a brood of vipers?

I, for one, am not impressed by skillful liars.”

Indeed. These people sound like the forerunners of Peter Watt’s “sociopathic cannibals,” also mentioned in this thread.

“In my son’s 3rd grade class, each student – at some point during the year – has to make a poster about themselves and include a little write-up on who their hero is. Many of the boys, including my son, have said their hero is their father. In the write-ups about their fathers, the boys have all mentioned very impressive traits that their dads possess and have also revealed their tremendous and very touching admiration for their fathers.”

That sounds lovely, and I’m sure in some ways it is, but I fear it may also be the product of cultural illiteracy. Do today’s eight-year olds know ANYTHING about the Founding Fathers, frontier heroes, men who fought in America’s wars, or any public figures other than pro-athletes and the perhaps the occasional actor? I suspect not. And yet when I was a 3rd grader in 1978, we did know a little about such people, which is one reason we’d’ve been less likely to select our own fathers as our personal heroes ie., because we had other choices.

“If men don’t want to be accused of rape then don’t be creepy.”

I would’ve thought if men didn’t wish to be accused of rape, they could simply refrain from committing rape, but here we see the progressives and their allies have different ideas about what constitutes a just society. Ideas different from those a sane and decent person would hold, that is.

” The film makers were clear on the fact that he’s not a bad guy for his tiny outburst but in a femicrazy world his crime is at least as big as hers.”

Your point is well-taken, but I still don’t think the vast bulk of people actually seeing this film interpreted it that way at all. There is doubtless some 22-year old Feminist Bolshie-skank on Tumblr who’d agree with that analsysis, but essentially all normal women & men would not. Feminists are against women shaving their legs too…and yet each and every woman I know, still shaves her legs.

Not to be confused with the Vice-President’s other son, Beau, who actually did serve in Iraq, and otherwise seems a less shady, more honorable type. Unsurprisingly, Beau is the older brother.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau_Biden

“…Hunter Biden would have had to have snorted coke within a few days of his test; unlike marijuana residues, coke residues wash out of your system quickly. Middle aged men who behave this way are well below the median in their capacity to make sensible decisions. ”

I wonder why everyone here assumes he had advance notice of this test. Admittedly, most of y’all probably come from a more traditionally law-abiding milieu than yours truly, but I’m surpsied you don’t realize that other than for pre-employment screenings, urinalysis is generally sprung on the subject as a surprise. That’s rather the whole point, don’t you think? The street smarts quotient of Mr. Sailer’s readership leaves me midway between bemused and amused.

“Sounds like those in charge knew exactly what they were doing.”

I agree. Reading through the article, my impression was one of overwhelming success on the part of the designers. This place appeals to Whites because it was meant to. Asians probably think its OK too, but there aren’t all that many of them in Denver.

“Sorry, this is simply a political rant.”

Yes, well, that’s kind of what its supposed to be.

The question is, is it a meritorious rant? I’d answer in the affirmative.

It should also be noted that the Affordable Care Act was never really passed by the Congress in a way that truly met Constitutional muster. When Scott Brown won the Senate race in 2010, the Democrats were one vote shy of being able to pass it…so they just declared that the vote taken in the Senate in 2009 (when Kennedy was still alive) would be good enough, and they wouldn’t have to hold a vote in 2010!

This is occasionaly done for matters on convenience, but NEVER when there is some question whether (or an absolute certainty, as the case may be) that a different result might be obtained. Nothing like that has ever happened in all of recorded American history, and it was a complete and total outrage. It was like some conniving trick Augustus might have pulled on the Roman Senate. It pretty much spelled the end of the USA as any sort of bona fide democratic republic, as far as I’m concerned. The people of Massachusetts elected Scott Brown in order to defeat the Affordable Care Act, and they were simply ignored, because the ruling class wanted it regardless of anything so trifling as the mere Constitutional order.

“Do you think that some of the business ruling class wanted it so that they could drop their health care obligations to retirees? IBM and GE have both dropped their retiree healthcare coverage since the ACA went into effect, or are in the process of doing so.”

Yes, that was almost certaintly part of the appeal. Obviously, its also a gargantuan windfall for the massive and influential insurance industry, but few big things are undertaken for a single reason. Factions of the ruling class unite in order to conspire against the people, and you’ve doubtless correctly identified one of the factions in this respect.

“the 60% requirement is not law. The senate can pass any bill with 50%. But the senators have rigged the senate operating rules so the senators can use the 60% rule as an excuse for not passing populist legislation. ”

I understand your frustration with the filibuster, but as a matter of practical reality, 90+ percent of Federal legislation, is detrimental to the nation’s interests. So anything that causes less of it to be passed, as the filibuster surely does, is a commendable thing.

“But Nixon lacked the conviction of his politics and felt he might lose to McGovern. McGovern. That tells you all you need to know about Nixon. He couldn’t take YES! for an answer. ”

McGovern didn’t always look like all that weak of a general election candidate. It was the Eagleton affair (in late July & early August) that destroyed McGovern. Without the Eagleton affair, McGovern, who was very popular in his party, probably would have made a credible showing against Nixon in 1972 (carrying New York, and some other northern states, in addition to Massachusetts), and gone on to be renominated & elected President in 1976 (instead of Jimmy Carter). Carter probably would have been his runningmate, in fact.

Its unlikely that McGovern could have swept California, New York, and the belt of big, industrial states from Pennslyvania to Illinois, as he’d have needed to do in order to secure an Electoral College majority in 1972, but you can’t really blame Nixon for being concerned about the possibility.

NEVER F***ING APOLOGIZE

I’m glad to see this guy gets it. Hopefully more people will pursue this strategy. Because its the only one which offers any hope of surviving a PC lynch mob, with the added bonus that it preserves one’s dignity regardless. If you apologize, the lynch mob gets to eat you alive, 100 percent of the time. If you don’t, maybe something different happens. Its certainly worth trying!

“As long as the Leftist PTB push the blacks out on the Down Low…”

Um…it might be a good idea to phrase that differently, in the future.

“Do these guys just make a habit of catcalling any woman who looks halfway decent, in hopes that the shotgun approach will result in at least a few phone numbers? I ask this because the woman in the video is reasonably attractive, but couldn’t remotely be described as “gorgeous” or a “knockout”- she’s just slightly on the good-looking side of average, by the standards of healthy young women. Goodness, what if she had been underwear-model pretty?”

Not everyone regards bone-thin-with-yellow-hair as the apex of female beauty. Most of the right-wing knucklehads I associate with, share in my opinion that this is one sultry Jewess. Its great that you don’t agree, but its amusing the way you seem to conflate your personal tastes with some kind of objective standard of beauty. Lots of men like women who look like this…as demonstrated by the video.

“In the 1976 version of “Assault on Precinct 13,” the gang assaulting the station is pictured as interracial.”

I just saw that movie, for the first time, like three nights ago. Its a little difficult to say for certain (especially in the way the gang members are presented in a sort of proto-zombie movie fashion, with virtually no dialogue among them), but I got the impression that it was more of a weird, ad hoc alliance between Black, White and Mexican criminal gangs. In fairness, Whites still comprised a statistically significant percentage of street criminals, back in the 1970s. So it WAS unrealisitc, but not “Death Wish 3”-level unrealistic. Most of the criminals were Blacks & Mexicans.

“Wendy Davis had some Hollywood liberal women galvanized by her abortion filibuster a year or two ago. Boy has her star faded though. Down by double digits in the TX gubernatorial race, she’s embarrased herself with some ham-fisted attacks on her handicapped opponent.”

Wendy Davis was never a serious contender for the Texas governorship in 2014, irrespective of whatever smoke the media was blowing back in May, or thereabouts.

“George Thorogood and the Destroyers.

Great show in 1981, by the way.”

I’m pleased you corrected that guy.

I saw them in 1986, and yes, they were awesome.

Although I prefer to characterize them as “George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers.” The state of Delaware needs to keep whatever association with coolness it can assemble.

“Hopefully the grand jury does the right thing and evicts Wilson…”

He’s not making his rent?

“So few fought for it because so few had ever believed in it in the first place. It was imposed on populations by force, not persuasion.

The same sudden end awaits PC in the West, for the same reason. Who knows when, but the PGA president getting kicked out because he tweeted that someone “cried like a little girl” or whatever it was? Must be getting close.”

Yes, I agree, and I don’t mind saying that I very much look forward to the inevitable collapse of the regime here in the USA.

“Oh God, what to do, what to do…

Draw a line down the middle? Give the east half to Egypt and the west half to Algeria? Or maybe just let Egypt take over the whole thing. Seems like the most practical solution to me.”

What makes you think Egypt (or Algeria) would be even remotely interested in incorporating such warring territories into their nation-state?

“I wonder how East Palo Alto is doing these days. When I was in high school it was the murder capitol of America.”

It still sucks, of course, but its a lot less violent now that the Blacks have been almost completely replaced by Mexicans. I’m pretty sure Blacks are down to around 20 percent of EPA’s population, which seems weird, since I can remember when it was more like 85 percent, back in the 1980s.

“But even if Scalia’s position isn’t shared by most on the right, why shouldn’t a distinction be made between MJ and cigs, when dopers are never going to vote with right anyway?”

Wow, how much of an elderly shut-in does one have to be, to actually imagine that everyone who smokes marijuana is a Democrat? That’s positively hilarious. People who smoke marijuana aren’t “dopers,” by the way. That’s stupid. They’re people from all walks of life. I know lots of people who voted for Pat Buchanan, and are otherwise extremely right-wing/conservative, who also enjoy smoking marijuana on a regular basis. I was born in 1970, so its not like I’m some “doper” kid.

“To my mind, that a family could control one of the high profile positions in American politics for that long and never even get close to gaining their party’s nomination for President says that maybe their political skills aren’t all that great.”

The problem with your observation is that Jerry Brown DID, in fact, come fairly close to getting the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination in 1976. This fact is seldom discussed, for whatever reason, but it still happened.

“You do still have PJ O’Rourke I believe.”

Yeah, but he’s not funny anymore. In fariness, almost no one is able to remain funny for over a quarter of a century, as he would have had to have done, in order to still be humorous.

“I largely avoid organized Christianity because I despise the charlatans who lead the different churches. All they seem to care about is war for Israel and flooding the West with non-western immigrants. Who made them Gods?”

If you’re interested in finding a good church, look first for a small one. Not only is there a much greater sense of community within a congregation that seldom numbers much above 75 attendees on any given Sunday, but its also harder to spout BS in such a relatively intimate setting. Or at the very least, the kind of minister who devotes his life to shepherding such a small flock, is a better quality man (on average, of course) than the sort of hyper-ambitious “Elmer Gantry”-types who go in for mega-churches and their associated, multi-million dollar endeavors.

If anyone reading this happens to live in the San Jose-area, and is looking for such a thing, I highly recommend Life Church, on White Oaks Road, near the San Jose-Campbell city line. Its a Four Square Gospel outfit, although I’m not sure such abstract denominational/theological distinctions of that sort are the most relevant criteria anymore. I wish I could still attend services there, but I’ve moved to South Dakota.

I wish I could think of something more constructive to say, but I feel the need to comment to the effect that this is an outstanding article, and we need to see more of its kind. Thank you for writing it.

“I think the moral of the story is: If you choose to bury a body in the high desert area, dig that grave at LEAST 6 feet down, or the first heavy rain, your boy may wind up a speed bump for a dune buggy.”

The very notion of a murder victim in the seemingly typical “shallow grave,” provides great insight into the mentality of the sort of people who commit most of the murders in our society. I mean, seriously, if I were conclealing a corpse with the hope of avoiding a suibsequent prosecution for murder, I’m pretty sure I would put in the time and effort needed to get the grave properly dug. But apparently these sorts of people dig down three feet, and then its Miller time. It seems they tend to give the actual burial rather short shrift as well, as often the corpse is covered by leaves & twigs more than by actual soil. Its difficult to imagine these people are operating with three-digit IQs.

“According to this article, the GOP won 52 percent of the Native American vote in this year’s midterm elections.

I bet the majority of those that voted for the GOP are one drop rule “Native Americans” with Caucasian phenotypes.

I can not see that many actual Native American/Mestizo phenotype people voting GOP.”

You are probably onto something there, however, I reside in South Dakota, and on those rare occasions where I speak to Native American men about politics, I find a lot of them are 2nd Amendment guys who dig Ron Paul’s vibe. Their women folk tend to be pretty orthodox Democrats, from what I gather. Of course, the Reservation counties all vote deep blue, but then a lot of these Ron Paul-admiring Native men probably aren’t real big on voter turn-out (some of them even like Mitt Romney, and our own Senator John Thune, for that matter). The tribal machine cranks out the Democratic vote on lands they control, but Natives who hold down full-time jobs out here in the real world (outside the Federally-subsidized Reservation, that is), don’t just vote like Blacks & Jewish Manhattanites. They’re a different breed, with their own dynamics.

I find this pretty disturbing, but in fairness, asking the government today, not to keep a fairly close eye on Islamic immigrants and White converts-to-Islam, is asking a Hell of a lot. Of course they’re keeping tabs on these people Can you imagine the inevitable outcry if they weren’t doing so? But I still don’t care for this sort of apparatus existing in the USA.

One partial solution would be to deport every single Muslim in the USA who doesn’t hold formal citizenship. Then they’d have much less of an excuse to have these sorts of police state programs.

We should adopt the word “wymyn,” to mean “women from Wales.”

“The person who coined the acronym was E. Digby Baltzell, who was….a WASP (self-described).”

I’ve coined any number of clever terms over the years, but no one ever chose to POPULARIZE them. Perhaps because they were all junk, or just maybe merit is not the sole criteria in such matters? Like suppose Mr. Baltzell came up with a clever, snide way to make fun of Jewish people. Something tells me that would have been much less likely to be subjected to mass media popularization…

“This piece might as well stand as an iconic illustration of the utter uselessness of debating people like the author.

For decades the normal, traditional mortgage lending standards were condemned by them as racially discriminatory and thus evil. So the lending standards were gutted, whereupon they were happy, until the inevitable happened, whereupon to distract from their own responsibility to pretend that what they advocated was something different they immediately started calling what happened “predatory.”

Heads they win, tails you lose. Always. No matter what. No matter what the heads look like, no matter the tails. Heads they were right and you were evil. Tails they were right and you were evil. Somehow. Someway. Even in listening to them if the results were bad.”

This is the best comment I’ve read in days.

“The most hood cellphone company in The United States is MetroPCS. Every low income NAM zip code in this country has a MetroPCS store.

Instead of ‘HELLO HELLO HELLO’, their motto should be ‘GHETTO GHETTO GHETTO’.”

I used to use MetroPCS when I lived in California (unfortunately, they’re not available here in South Dakota). Their service was fine. My European ancestry does not include a special gene that causes me to desire to pay Verizon 2-3 times as much for identical service.

“Too much intelligence in a dog is a bad thing, unless they’re a working animal with a job to do every day.

Otherwise they get bored and “make up” things to do.”

Yes, this is why monkeys, for example, make terrible pets. They have the brains to get into everything, and those same brains are what makes them bored enough to actually do so.

“So conservatives root for their own home team, ie the Oakland Raiders. Liberals root for some soccer team on a distant continent.”

This is probably correct, but technically, in the Bay Area, nearly all White people are 49ers fans (and hence most conservatives, too). Blacks & Mexicans favor the Raiders even more uniformly. I’m pretty sure Asians are split.

Progressives don’t believe in the Western understanding of objective truth. Once you understand that (and can thus cease wasting time by arguing with them), the world makes more sense. Ideas they like, become “my truth,” which they really do believe to be just as valid (if not infinitely more so!) a notion as, you know, actual truth.

For all practical purposes, our enemies are insane. They post-rationally believe in stuff that the literally mentally retarded are too smart to fall for (within the context of rationality).

“But there are people who will ultimately side with the truth, even if they don’t like it. For example, a lot of the people in the press who spoke up against the story this week are individuals I may have tangled with in the past but I tend to have respect for long before this week.”

Sure, my own father is one of those types. I call them “liberals” or “leftists,” as opposed to “progressives.” I often disagree with liberals or leftists, but they can be decent folks. Progressives are scum who hate the truth, and hate those who don’t share in their hatred of it.

“Fun fact: The Brady Bunch is based on the real life of leading globalist Tom Braden of the CIA.”

No, the show you’re thinking about is “Eight is Enough.” In that show, the father character worked in California’s government in Sacramento, just as the real Tom Braden worked in Washington. The family surname in “Eight is Enough,” was “Bradford.”

“One thing that is probably hard to communicate to the younger generation today is that back in the day just about nobody in the larger American public thought of anybody as being gay. Being gay was considered such an outlandish and almost freakish thing that the apriori expectation that someone was gay was exceedingly low. It required extraordinary evidence to convince anyone that someone was gay, and effeminate mannerisms were hardly enough.”

Yes, as recently as the early 1990s, I can remember telling people that the idea Paul Lynde had been some sort of homosexual, was just a weird rumour, LOL.
