Clearly the prophesied Judgment of Nations is beginning with Russia. What we’re now seeing is a very public indictment. Which nation will be next, I wonder?

I can’t remember who said it, but I think the best description of Ann I ever read was:

“Ann has always been hardcore, she was hardcore as a neocon and now she’s hardcore as a nationalist.’

She hasn’t really changed how she acted one bit.

In 216’s defense, what is extreme is constantly shifting.

I’d consider myself a moderate conservative, and I firmly believe balkanization on ethnic lines is not only the US’s likely future, but immensely desirable as well.

It is nice that the “very conservative” young people are overwhelmingly white.

Also regarding the comments on Corey Stewart: any republican running against Kaine would have lost. Our goal is not and should not be to run the occasional candidate, it must be nothing less than the complete takeover of the GOP.

Otherwise the GOP is and will remain useless.

Interesting that what immediately jumps into my mind is that the blacker the state, the more republican the white population.

Any idea why Wyoming seems to be a relative outlier?

He does neither.

Quote:

From a non-technical point of view we can conclude that the object was only seen after MH17 had already slowed down to 200km/h, as the official Russian story mentions. The most logical explanation is that the object on radar is debris of MH17. So Russia blames a Ukrainian Su-25, which is not there at all, only to pursue it’s own political goals.

"For identity formation, that's a problem."

It remains a mystery, then, how anyone was able to "form an identity" prior to, say, the latter half of the twentieth century and the advent of television and more advanced forms of visual media.

For that matter, this planet's billions of inhabitants who want for video games must just be in a terrible state, drifting through life, zombie-like, with no identity to speak of.

One more little appendix for the Albanian Jack, who claims to know his country’s reality.
I have been to his country also on Fridays and I can assure him that I have seen all of the four mosques in Tirana fully packed. As a matter of fact, people complain that there is not enough room in the mosques to house all the believers who go there for the Friday community prayers.
And for the Albanian Jack’s info, they did not look “Turkish” to me. Many of them happen to be tall, blue eyed and fair skinned Albanians,just like the rest of the Europeans do.

I would like to start my comment with two questions: why and how have you conducted this survey?
The reason why I ask these two questions is because I happen to know the Balkan region fairly well and it just happens so that most of the data I see here does not correspond to the realities I have experienced on the ground.
It is an absolute inexactitude to consider the Orthodox population of Turkey nonexistent as this survey does. In fact, there is a sizable Orthodox population in Turkey and the vivid proof for that is the Rum (Greek) community still active in this country; not to mention the Armenian Apostolic and the Syriac Orthodox Churches, which have never ceased to exist in Turkey.
It is also a fact that the Catholic community in Turkey continues to be present, but by no means does that mean that the latter is greater in number than the Orthodox ones.
In fact, it suffices only this very data to call your survey quite a few names. As for myself, I would only choose to call it unprofessional.
