In NY the entire state would be mobilized to find the murderers of police men. Not just the police force. Everyone.

I think Fasolia is literally “beans.” Also I see a difference between Trump and others. What I mean is sometimes what people do when they get into office has something to do with what and who they were before they got into office. As Steven Dutch said in different words there are clear difference between the Left and Right in American politics. I have no reason to think that Trump will pursue different policies than the ones he has stated.

I would hope that the elections themselves will not be rigged. Do people know who is counting the votes in their districts? After all it makes no difference whom people vote for, unless one knows who is counting the votes.

I do not understand why people do not support Trump. To me it seems he is just standing up for American nationalism. And I see that as a great thing –a kind of Constitutional Republic based on the ideas of Hobbes and John Locke and natural rights. To me it seems like the eight wonder of the world. Why anyone would not support it is beyond me.

I am very impressed with Trump. Perhaps it is because I spent time in NY and so I think I have some kind of awareness of his background. It seems he is simply saying we ought to put America first and that makes sense to me. Also he is unlikely to enlarge NATO nor antagonize Russia. That also seems like a good thing because it is certain that the Democrats are very much in favor of NATO expansion and thus likely to start WWIII. So I think that Trump is good for everyone–including Jewish people.

If Trump does not win the election all this is is talk. Things will only get worse. The people that are aware of these problems should be aware of this and make sure they know who is counting the votes. Who votes makes no difference and whom people vote for is meaningless unless you know exactly who is counting the votes in your district.

Thank you for finally pointing that out. I was too chicken to point out on this site that monarchy was not always a bed of roses. Or rather it always was a bed of roses together with the thorns. I did point out on Amerika Steven Brett’s blog that in Athens there was a clear distinction between a tyrant and a monarch or king. In Sparta you had kings with constitutional powers – and their powers were limited by the Ephors and the other king. When Athens removed its tyrants it was clear they were against tyrants, not kings. Still its democracy had problems because of lack of limits of power on the people. In any case the problems will not be solved by a return to monarchy but by constitutional government and the Law of God in the Bible.

There was no indictment because the head of the FBI does not want to die by suicide by two shots to the back of the head.

I think you could sum up the idea of Trump as nationalism while the idea of his opponents as internationalism.

Many people were fooled. What was needed was a legitimate critique on Communism along the lines of Dr Michael Huemer or Bryan Caplan.

The entire thesis of Allen Bloom is the crisis of the enlightenment, and that since the USA is the embodiment of the enlightenment this crises has come to a climax in the USA itself. The problems he outlined in various chapters were meant as illustrations of a deeper problem that one could not simply put a band-aid on. So to answer your question: nationalism in the USA is connected with the Constitution and its principles. So the drawback is that these principles must lead to a crisis by their very nature.

Nationalism really comes down to a debate between Kant and Hegel. I am on the side of Kant in this, but I think Hegel also had some good points. I am not sure how to reconcile them. You can see the side of nationalism in Howard Bloom’s the Lucifer Principle. But the draw backs of the system in the USA was brought to print by Allen Bloom’s the closing of the American Mind.
But how to deal with this I do not know. It seems to me that Trump might be able to get things back on track.

Sports were more fun when they were about having fun.

Thank you for that clarification. It in fact sounds like a cheap trick.

But Do Thich did kill the king. That seems clear enough. Previous good deeds can not make up for that

Right. It sounds like a line of of George Orwell’s Newspeak.

Thank you for that clarification. That is what I thought she was saying. That is she must be thinking like Trotsky.

There was a kind of synergy between Reason and Revelation. This was based to a large degree on European Jew’s respect for Maimonides and the general Mediaeval approach which saw a strong connection between faith and reason. So there was plenty of motivation to see great good in STEM.

I did not understand her comment. Is she saying there is some connection between banks and racism? Or there is not? It seems to make no sense.

I hope Trump brings a court case against the girl for slander.

Thank you for that input. I do not see how that describes what he says about intention in his PhD thesis. [I mean there he uses it to solve ontological un- decidablity. ]

The idea is that the transcendent numinous reality has existence that depends not on the subject nor object. But it can be perceived by intention. [I do not know if that is how Dr Ross would put it.]

Art at its best in to capture something transcendent in Nature. It is not to copy it, but to capture its essence. Schopenhauer went into this in and later the Kant Friesian school. Dr. Kelley Ross borrows some of Schopenhauer and Plato to build his thesis that art is to capture modes of necessity.

My family owned a good deal of property in Asbury Park NJ. I have seen this same kind of thing happen. When blacks move in it is time to move out.

‘Yofe is the way the Russian would be said. If Hebrew it is יופי “yofe” “yo” would rhyme with “bow” and “fe” would be the same as “fee” as in “charging a fee.”

If the goal is to save Western Civilization then it is important to focus on the principles involved, not on who is saying them. If S. Miller helps in this regard then he should be complimented. What people ought to do is focus on the prize–the presidency– because you can be assured that the Left is extremely focused on that. If the right will not concentrate to the same degree we are likely to lose everything. Civilization itself.

I am pretty sure evolution did not stop but is still going on. Race is just the beginning stage of how nature separate one species into two or more.

I know little about how politics works. I would be happy to see Trump as president and hope to see the USA get back to its traditional values. How any particular decision plays out in this I do not know. I hope it helps push Trump over the top.

Just shows what George Zimmerman was up against and why he had to act.

When blacks get over a certain % things go downhill quickly. The same effect applies to Muslims. Below a certain % they are the best mannered. Then people think well of them. Then the % grows and jihad starts with the youth and the parents saying “we can’t control our children. They are doing these violent acts on their own.” Then the % grows and you have a Muslim country. This is a common thread of how they took over many countries.

Where is George Zimmerman when you need him?

race is biological and is the way nature begins to separate one species into two

Anthropology is not a real science.

Maybe it should have been about religion.

I think if not the demand to accept Muslims, that England would have remained in in the EU. I think Britain is trying to protect itself

I have been told by black people already in the 1970's that their intention was to take down the USA. It was an idea based more on anger than on reason. I do not think they are thinking who would rebuild things if they would succeed.

I think there is a difference between groups behavior individual behavior. There is such a thing as a Bell curve. While individual can rise above the group norms , that is still no reason to ignore the fact that there are groups norms. As a group blacks are violent.

A major part of left wing and feminine politics is the need and desire for power in this world. They have transferred the ancient desire to be prepared for the after-life to make this world central. And in this world it is political power that is the source of life's meaning and numinous power. So it is natural to expect they will stop at nothing to bring down their adversaries.

The way they gain power is they know the major factor motivating the masses is resentment. Harnesses that power and hate and you have the ticket to power.
