To remark on the your current post, I completely agree that Asians do not generally deserve to benefit from affirmative action. What disappoints me is that the criteria for AA are race-based. Shouldn't they be purely economic? I'm sure poor white kids are missing out and rich black kids are sneaking in. This just insults everyone's intelligence!

That would increase racial disparities because poor white kids outscore rich black ones.

And no, there shouldn't be AA based on economic position. People are responsible for their own kids, just as nature intended.

My theory of why Asians are leftists: they detest whites for their masochism.

Admittedly, actual AA is pretty BS, and harms those it purports to help,

My God, I really hate this argument because it's

A) Stupid. AA helps who it purports to help, obviously.

and

B) cowardly and used to avoid defending Whites.

The hilarious career of Barack Obama continues to demonstrate how much white people long to give money, fame, and power to a black guy who meets minimum standards of presentability, regardless of his lack of accomplishments.

Lol, my theory is that the first black at the national stage who didn't speak ebonics and end up with a scandal would end up as president.

Who were national black political figures before Obama? Sharpton, Jackson, Marrion Berry, Alan Keys.

All Barack had to do was show up and the world was his. He couldn't even find a wife that didn't occasionally say things to get him in trouble.

Wow – have you seen the latest Jugendbund der NSDAP video?

I wrote about these budding geniuses here.

They don't learn the old sitting and reading way, they've got this new and improved style.

"Austrian" economists are a bunch of cranks. You waste your time taking them seriously.

Explain how the government printing money is not stealing.

I'm with you Rich, I think Hannity and the gang should devote at least three hours to this chick claiming, without proof, that a guy SAYS he did something.

It was reported in Barack and Michelle, Troofie.

Why doesn't Fox News talk about this? Glenn Beck, where the hell are you? Limbaugh?

I love it. The "moral core" of the Democratic Party.

Steve, being politically incorrect for so long has made you tone deaf. The average Republican strategist reads your article and thinks "Sailer says we win by disenfranchising minorities" which is ok with me but not ok with the rest of the educated public.

It's funny to watch everybody talk about race except the Republicans. It reminds me of a French cartoon I saw where a black kid says something like "We have 3 blacks in our class, 4 Arabs, two Jews. And him (pointing to native Frenchman)-he's nothing." The Republicans are the party of nothings.

W. is a weird case. I can see how Obama ended up a 28 year old virgin, but why is Bush's wife so butt ugly? The guy was from a famous family, filthy rich and a natural alpha. He certainly underachieved.

Simplest explanation is most likely the correct one.

He's intelligent, sensitive, has intellectual interests and doesn't quite fit in to any community. Not exactly alpha material.

There's all this talk about him choosing Michelle out of political considerations. Most likely, he was like the majority of men and held on to the best he could get.

There's no evidence for romantic relationships before Michelle because there were none. He made some up for his book because he didn't want to look beta.

"This is one of the troubling things about the Dugard story. It will come out over time that she submitted to her kidnapper, willingly bore him children and did not leave when she had the chance. It is a woman's nature.

What troubles women more than anything else is what other women think of them, not what they think for themselves.

If there are no other women to judge them for submitting, they will do it gladly."

Another great comment. This thread and the one on serial killers have been a delight to read.

If we determine that women want to submit to men, would anybody here argue that women in Saudi Arabia are happier than those in the West?

"So, the ongoing sympathy for South African blacks by white liberals isn't just about historical morality but biological drives. White feminists and leftists favor blackness partly out of guilt but also out of fascination–like one held by the singer Madonna for all those Big NBA players. All said and done, white liberals are primitivists at their psychological root. The Madonna(singer)/Bore complex is wedded to the King/Kong complex. Part of white liberals look upon blacks as being like the noble Dr. Martin Luther King(at least the myth) but another part is fascinated with the mighty Kong aspect of blackness. "

That was a really great comment. I recently wrote about the romanticization of non-whites in European film. My recommendation is trying to get info on HBD out there and letting women know how plain stupid masculine dark people are. A woman isn't attracted to somebody she doesn't respect, and nobody respects the stupid.

"Dunno but my guess would be that a white doll is like a blank slate onto which a child can mentally attach any image that they like, while an other-ethnic doll will always be just that."

What? That's like the term "people of color." White isn't a color? White is a color and white features are real features.

Anyway, whites are beautiful. Sad to see them go.

I will marry Lucy.”
[Lurie] cannot believe his ears. So this is it, that is what all the shadow-boxing was for: this bid, this blow! …
“You will marry Lucy,” he says carefully. “Explain to me what you mean. No, wait, rather don’t explain. This is not something I want to hear. This is not how we do things.”
We; he is on the point of saying, We Westerners. …

Not Westerners, Whites! What is this-even in a novel as politically incorrect as this the white character can't even say it in his head. W-H-I-T-E.

"These days, I don't have the kind of memory left where I can work out a long chain of argument in my head. I have to put my flickering thoughts down on screen right away before they go away."

Why write stuff like this? You frighten the young. I.E…..Me.

Me too. How much does a person lose as he ages? I once heard that by your seventies you typically fall a standard deviation. Is this true?

A hundred million goes a lot further in a country where the average GDP per capita is $1,000.

"Even if you accept the 83-87 IQ average the HBD people are claiming for black Americans, it still means there are a number of smart black kids who are getting lousy educations because of their surroundings. Aren't these academies a decent way to identify and develop the talents of the talented tenth from the ghettos?"

The smart ones took advantage of government help and settled into cushy affirmative action jobs two generations ago.

What's the IQ of ghetto blacks?

I share these posts with my family. They are mystified as to why anyone would think me Jewish. It does however amuse them.

Do you show them the posts having to do with Israel? The ones where you foam at the mouth about nuking a country on the other side of the world with a GDP the size of Miami?

I wonder if things might have been different had conservatives dominated or won the culture war. All those amnestied Hispanics in the 80s might have become potential patriots if they'd been acculturated and assimilated according to solid Anglo-American values–as happened with so many Southern and Eastern European immigrants in the first half of the 20th century.

You must be new here. Google "Race and IQ" and see why Mestizos are a permanent underclass no matter what happens to the "culture."

Why is nobody talking about Irving Kristol dying? Nothing on TakiMag yet.

Why are conservatives acting like conservatives all of a sudden? Freakin' David Frum linked to Steve the other day.

Do we only have a conservative movement in this country if the Democrats are in power? It's like a game where you can't try unless you're losing. A scam, the whole thing.

It's funny that advocates for NAMs denounce eugenics as part of the concern of anti-immigration activists. It's like they're saying "Don't notice our bad genes!"

Nobody accuses pro-immigrant people of eugenic concerns.

Bin Laden did not attack the US because of Jews, Israel, or anything else of that nature. He's a Yemeni-extraction Saudi, and wants to rule Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden attacked because he thought he could do so with relative impunity, and use the attack to raise more money and men, and influence in Saudi.

I see you do have an answer to why they hate us. Terrorism is fund raising operation, is it? But why does attacking the US lead to good PR? What's the root cause here?

Testing,

I know you never respond when people ask you questions, but I hope you'll give me an answer here.

Why do you think these evil tribal leaders you keep referring to would want to nuke NYC? I understand you think that they're more likely to do it if they don't fear retaliation, but what's the original motive in the first place?

"The interesting thing is that they also have a section for "staff picks" where each clerk/manager (mostly leftish frumpy hipster women in thick-rimmed glasses, face piercings, and vintage clothing) puts stickers on their current favorites. Idiocracy is practically covered with them."

Liberals would love eugenics if it wasn't tied to racism. Central planning, elitism, a promised utopia-what's not to love?

I personally loved the film, except for the ending where (spoiler alert) the two main characters restart the human race with mulatoos.

"I disliked two bits in Extract. First, the gigolo "Brad Chavez". By casting a white guy with a Hispanic last name, they are erasing boundaries of ethnicity. This is something that liberals try to do. Second, they made the unsympathetic old woman blame the Hispanic worker and then they exonerate the Hispanic worker. This is a criticism of those who object to Hispanics entering the workplace."

Come to think of it, King of the Hill is pretty friendly towards Mexicans too. Maybe Judge is George Bush and from his state got a distorted view of the invasion.

I found the guy's website and wrote him an E-Mail the other day. Still no response.

Mr. Conroy,

I was disturbed by your reaction to getting mugged. I'm sure you're one of those that think that crime is caused by poverty and racism. In truth, it's in the genes. Blacks are vastly overrepresented in crime not only in America, but Canada, Britain, Japan and Brazil. Look at this chart.

http://hbdbooks.com/2009/08/black-crime-around-the-world/

And that's to say nothing about Africa.

You talk about a "karma bank." Liberal apologists for black crime like yourself have blood on their hands. Just look at the crime rate in the 60s and today. This "we're all equal, criminals need understanding" attitude has been responsible for the death and rape of millions. From a karma perspective, that you would be a victim of those whose crimes you've spent your life abetting is just.

And then after the attack your reaction, trying to save this loser who could've killed you, was downright pathetic and unmanly.

I hope you've learned a valuable lesson from all this and will spend the rest of your life making a positive contribution to civilization, rather than seeking to destroy it.

T99, in all seriousness, you need to be careful about giving away too much information.

With what you just wrote, I bet that someone like me could figure out who you are.

He's Kevin MacDonald! Who would've thunk it?

Michael Yon and these neocons are fascinating from a psychological perspective. He must know that if Bush never invaded Iraq, the war didn't go bad and the president made up that democracy justification the idea of socially engineering 3rd world countries as a way to fight terrorism would've never popped into his head.

Yes, it's groupthink, but if you're going to be a wide eyed idealist why not just become a liberal? Maybe neocons like Yon have too much testosterone and need the road to their utopia to be paved with blood.

I wish Testing would fill us in.

Do people just tend to believe more in genes as they age? Were the youth always this silly or is it a recent development?

"We can agree that the military and some government employment may have helped African-Americans move out of poverty and into the middle class, but affirmative action is one of the most pernicious concepts to infect our culture. It has vastly increased distrust between all races (did that guy get into med school because he was good or because he was black? – damn hard to know), retards progress by its direct opposition to the concept of rewards based on merit (see Ricci), leads even the "advantaged" groups into self-doubt and hate that must be externalized (see Michelle Obama). Moreover, there were black intellectuals and areas with an educated, thriving, and legitimate black middle class – Harlem and D.C immediately come to mind – before affirmative action and the "liberation" Steve describes destroyed their meritocratic and disciplined social structures."

Nice job of opposing AA in a very PC way.

If blacks feel such a psychological burden from AA, why aren't they clamoring for its end? So they can be judged on their merit? Because whether whitey thinks they're competent or not the vast majority of blacks live much better off with government favoritism than without.

Powell supports affirmative action. Ethan Bonner, in a typically laudatory review of The Shape of the River (a pro-affirmative action book-Richard H.) in the New York Times (”Study Strongly Supports Affirmative Action in Admissions to Elite Colleges” (September 9, 1998): B10), quoted Powell’s derisory comment about the supposed harm that affirmative action does to its recipients’ self-esteem: “Asked about the stigma that opponents say affirmative action imposes on blacks who attend these elite colleges, General Powell was dismissive. ’I would tell black youngsters to…get one of those well-paying jobs [that they will get through affirmative action] to pay for all the therapy they’ll need to remove the stigma’.”

This "blacks are the victims of discrimination in their favor" nonsense needs to go.

"Now that's a solid post Steve, allow me to be the third to laud you here. It is informative, well thought out, interesting, and fair.

I could quibble about the silly Gates-Jenna 6 comparison, but I won't."

Truth, you've really mellowed out lately. You been succeeding with game, brother?

"I suspect, however, that I had also sinned by tangentially calling into question one of the sacred myths of our age, repeated endlessly by PBS: that the 1960s cultural revolution was for the benefit of blacks, when, in truth, it was for the benefit of upper middle class whites, and was very much at the expense of people farther down the social scale."

If the elites are still playing by the old rules, how did it even benefiting them?

I personally think that blacks, despite the crime, poverty, etc. may on balance still be better off under the affirmative action state. The entire black middle class was created by affirmative action and government employment.

Allow me to point to my review of a book on the great and honorable life of Shockley.

"testing 99 said…"

Oh God, why did I click on the comments?

"BO, and Gordon Brown, are doing their best to project an image of weakness; and to disable the capacity of the West to defend itself. Perhaps Afghanistan is the sole exception to this. But overall the perception in the Middle East is that the USA is winding down as a world power and ultimately will do little to prevent the Islamification of Europe; as such, the last real obstacle will be out of the way, since the Europeans themselves clearly do not have the capacity to resist. In fact many do not even comprehend they have a problem. "

Dude, you live in a fantasy world if you think that Americans would ever resist the Islamization of Europe. It's actually the other way around. America wants Turkey to join the EU, the French are resisting. When Haider was brought into the cabinet in Austria it was the US that went nuts. It was America that took the side of the Muslim Bosnians and bombed the Christian Serbs.

You've inadvertently brought up another problem that the Bush/Cheney regime had. Because it was willing to bomb Muslims, the naive amongst you got the impression that they gave a damn about saving Western civilization. The Republican elite are active destroyers of it. At least a weak America would have more hesitation about screwing everything up with its empire of multiculturalism.

"the last real obstacle will be out of the way, since the Europeans themselves clearly do not have the capacity to resist"

The US as an obstacle to the destruction of the West! HAHA.

I'd just like to add that after watching Friedman's disgusting and blood thirsty idiocy I wasn't in the mood to read Testing's.

"As for Friedman, even a broken clock (like Ron Paul) can be right sometimes. He's dumb as a box of rocks about "the world is flat" but I'll see your dead (volunteer enlistee) with 3,000 dead Americans on 9/11. And likely 3 million dead in NYC in a few years."

You really are quite amazing.

"My name in Evil Neocon. The world is ending. No one can find mates, women have emasculated all men. Affirmative action ensures we can't get jobs. Our society is falling apart. WHITE WOMEN. We must struggle for democracy in Iraq."

What part of that doesn't fit in with the rest?

"Option A: these four were specially selected as moles.
Option B: they're refugees who made it to SK/Japan/Russia and applied from embassies or consulates there."

For option A the Korean government would've had to ensure their special moles had won. Either that or train whoever wins to become one.

Option B makes a little more sense. Even escaping from North Korea is supposed to be something of a big deal.

"Question everything.

Much of what we are told is lies."

If you've got evidence that North Korea is less repressive than we've been led to believe, present it.

From Shiller's statement

"My office spends more time and resource fighting crime and violence than dealing with any other issue. My staff and I regularly exchange information with the 20th and 23rd District police regarding potentially dangerous situations and how to prevent violence or crime from occurring. And today crime and violence in the 23rd and 20th police districts is among the lowest in Chicago. But don’t take my word for it. Check it out at http://www.chicagopolice.org. Whether you search by district, ward and/or individual beat – you will find this to be true. This is a great accomplishment within a community as diverse as the 46th Ward, and the credit goes to our residents and the leadership of our police commanders."

So she admits that having a low crime rate in a "diverse" area is a real accomplishment.

Interestingly, this program run by the State Department increases immigration from the seven countries that the State Department has declared "state sponsors of international terrorism:" Iran (768 visas this year), Iraq (71), Syria (62), Libya (61), Cuba (529), North Korea (four) and Sudan (1,297).

North Korea lets its citizens participate? How? That contradicts everything I've read about the country.

Now be nice everyone.

"Obama, according to HotAir, will be prosecuting CIA interrogators and superiors for waterboarding KSM and others. "

If only. I'm sure the CIA has been just as incompetent as the rest of government and probably more evil.

I have this sense that Hawaii represents a Best Case Scenario for the future of humanity

Yeah, maybe if "humanity" included almost no blacks or Muslims.

In the real world, the countries with the top 50 or so birthrates in the world are all African and/or Islamic.

"I've oftened wondered why certain Jews seem to bear such overwhelming hostility for a country and its people that have been far more hospitable to them than any other place on Earth. It's almost as if they hold us in contempt for not hating them."

Why did blacks turn anti-American after desegregation and affirmative action?

Human nature.

"They were dangerous because they were *potential* rivals like say, Trotsky. Ironically, the only man Stalin liked and consider as a friend was … Adolf Hitler."

They never even met you nut.

I heard Hitler was driven to despair after a lifetime of rejection by WHITE WOMEN. In the USSR, WHITE WOMEN and Muslims Tatars formed the bureaucratic machine that emasculated the Russian betas.

"f he were to read your review, I'm sure that he would sincerely deny that he's obsessed with blacks. Obsession is the wrong word for what he has there. He's going with the flow. This flow seems perverted and comical to us because we're not involved in it, but it's so huge and powerful that those who are swept up in it typically aren't even aware of its existence.

If you were tasked by some publishing house to write a history of mathematics, short-wave radio, model railroads or British comedy, you'd probably have to include a black history angle there too."

Yes! It's so obvious to us but they're clueless! It's what differentiates liberals from religious believers. The latter at least know that they're conditioned to see everything through a certain lens.

A lot of people have suggested forgiving student loans.

Has anybody really suggested this? If it's a possibility I may not start paying mine back.

My God, Testing is a prophet!

In his essay "Decline of the American Male" in USA Today, David Zinczenko, editor of Men's Health, give us a clue. "Of the 5.2 million people who've lost their jobs since last summer, four out of five were men. Some experts predict that this year, for the first time, more American women will have jobs than men."

Steve, you're out of your league blah, blah, blah.

I remember reading that John Gotti took an IQ test in jail and got a 105. That made him a genius amongst criminals!

Really, I think if people with 115+ IQs were inclined to commit crimes, they could get away with a lot.

was somehow abducted off busy Wilshire Blvd. in the middle of the afternoon by a ten-time loser homeless black crackhead, and, after a tour of ATMs, murdered in her car.

It's nice to let it all out sometimes Steve.

The effects of liberalism aren't all funny stories about arsonists as firefighters and octomoms.

Obviously, writing a half century ago, Heinlein got much wrong about the 21st Century, such as his naive assumptions that America today would still have a steel industry in Pittsburgh or an export market for its new cars.

This joke reminds me of Clockwork Orange. The author wanted to portray a completely depraved future, but in it the hoodlums came from a two parent household.

"McCain, for all his flaws, took the worst the commies could dish out and maintained his composure."

The man would've gone to nuclear war over Georgia.

I don't think he's ever been stable. The temper thing combined with the bloodlust.

Idiocracy.

I expect crime, inefficiency, a polarized country and AA due to "diversity." Can we do without all the corny photo ops, the "dialogues," the "healings," and the "we're not there yets"?

I don't feel like looking it up now, but on CNN today they showed Bloomberg defending a plan to give homeless people a plane ticket out of NYC if they promised not to come back. David Frum was talking about it and he said that homelessness declined by 1/3rd in the Bush years. Some CNN anchor named Katty or Candy or something (she used to be like 600 pounds, but is now down to 300) said she was deeply offended. Frum said that this was based on compassion and good for the homeless. They ended the segment with Wolf Blitzer reminding us that they're human beings.

It sounds like I dreamed the whole thing, but I swear, it happened.

"Wouldn't it be totally awesome to get a five-figure check in the mail for something you wasted time on and failed at a decade ago? So, you can see why so many minorities who didn't have a chance of getting a good score took the firefighters test — because there was always a sizable chance under Disparate Impact theory that a judge would change the rules years after the game was played and send them money."

Without evidence that this practice is well known in the black community I don't believe it. Too much foresight is necessary, too much knowledge about law and American politics.

Hypothetically though, there's all kinds of things blacks could do to get money. Say, walk around trying to piss off cops while having your friend video tape it. Or try to join a country club and then sue. Or take a bunch of kids to a pool, have them act obnoxious, and…

"google Iris Weinshall"

Ew!

Why do these guys chase after political power if these are the rewards? For the joy of finishing off their civilization?

"We cannot but regard Mrs. Clinton as a funny lady as she likes to utter such rhetoric, unaware of the elementary etiquette in the international community. Sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl," and that she is "by no means intelligent"

You know, the media quotes I've seen until now have cut out the "unaware of elementary etiquette" part.

I saw Clinton on Meet the Press this morning. They had a google earth type globe and everything that happens anywhere is taken for granted as Madame Secretary's business. The host wanted to know if we would "allow" Iran to go nuclear and what North Korea "must" do. Clinton said that Russia having a sphere of influence in Eastern Europe is unacceptable.

No wonder everybody hates this country. American hubris is breathtaking. There's never been a people so full of themselves. Thankfully there never will be again.

"Have any of you met a college educated white woman under 50 who gives a damn about how affirmative action is harming their brothers or their sons or their nephews or their cousins?"

Most whites don't know how much AA there is.

People are told what the issues are based on what the media and politicians talk about. If nobody's talking about something, it doesn't exist.

I've tried to explain the extent of AA to people and they simply don't believe me. If this was such a problem, why don't even the supposedly racist Republicans talk about it?

I just wonder, in 30 years, when Barack is 70 something years old and blacks are still the most crime prone and least academically accomplished group in the nation, will he be sitting there on his rocking chair talking about the legacy of Jim Crow and the pains of modern discrimination?

For those of us who don't like liberals, at least we can take satisfaction in eventually seeing their hopes and dreams dashed.

Crowley is only a hero by today's cowardly standards. So he did nothing wrong and didn't apologize for it. This is bravery? Who cares if he stood up to the president? It's not like that that's a dangerous thing to do in this country.

If he would've said "Yes, I racially profile. Do you know what the black crime rate is? The president says we have a history of minorities being profiled by cops. What he doesn't mention is that it's for the obvious reason that we have a long history of minorities committing a lot of crime." then I would call him a hero.

Of course!

Bring up race/IQ and bring up sex/IQ. See which ones gets people more upset at you.

Rushton has written about race and IQ differences. Which do you think that they stopped his classes for?

Though it would probably be more accurate to say that the black race trumps everything. With other races things aren't so clear cut.

In Tom Wolfe's "I Am Charlotte Simmons" the athletes have women coming to their hotel rooms and asking to have sex with them. A basketball forward tries to get to sleep one night and has a woman come in and maul him.

Did anybody have athletes in their social circle in college? Anybody play division one basketball or football? I'd like to know to what extent Wolfe was exaggerating if at all.

According to Wikipedia, 15 percent of men in the US have paid for sex at least once in their lives. I wonder why it isn't much more common. If it's the legality issue, people make trips to Amsterdam to legally smoke pot. Sex should be worth at least a trip to Nevada. Are cultural sanctions against going to a prostitute worse in America than other places?

Somewhat OT, Ron Paul blasted Sarah Palin for being a "country club Republican" … laughable since Paul himself belongs to an exclusive Texas Country Club while Palin is a moose hunter who snow-machines, and belongs to none. Paul at least sees her as a rival in 2012.

He probably is afraid of going up against her in the debates. Can you imagine Ron Paul trying to keep up with Sarah Palin on economics or foreign policy? The Mises Institue Vs. Fox News. He fears her intellect.

I say this as an anti-women's lib social conservative: men who blame these athletes for taking advantage of women throwing themselves at them are either gay, sterile or religious.

Men didn't evolve to turn down free sex. Women and society are meant to be the limiting factors.

Re: Feminist and homosexual wars

Afghanistan and Iraq have more women in their parliaments than the US does.

Maybe that was the plan all along. Destroy the Muslims through war and feminism. It's like Testing planned the whole thing!

Maybe on some forum out there there's an Ahmed99 complaining about ARABIC WOMEN destroying civilization and their contempt for the beta Mohamed Ricci.

"Say you have two children and you have them tested with a very sophisticated model of interacting dynamics and it turns out that one has variant X of important gene Z and the other has variant Y. So, genetically, they're different.

But, guess what? They're still both your kids."

If you're not finally endorsing white nationalism, I don't know what your point is.

"In an ideal world, women (and men) would be desired based primarily on their internal characters. "

Internal characteristics are genetically determined just as external ones are. So why is judging based on one more moral than the other? A nerdy guy can no more become and alpha male than an ugly girl can become pretty. All your doing is defining what men are programmed to like as wrong and what females are programmed to prefer as being right. This is sexist.

"Each person would be able to develop their own definition of what they find attractive based on their own life experience in a just world. "

How do people "develop their own definition of what they find attractive" in an unjust world? They base it on their genetic heritage and cultural conditioning I suppose. So in your just world individuals would develop their tastes as creatures separated from their genes and culture? What would a "person" be in that case?

Postmodern gibberish.

"its marvellous miscegenation"

WTF?

Why does this matter when Hispanic women have three children each?

"1 – Palin never said "I can see Russia from my house." That was the Saturday Night Live parody of her actual statement that, (paraphrased), "You can see Russia from some areas in Alaska.""

Ok! She didn't actually say "from my house." The comment she did make was still plenty stupid, even if technically true.

And what about the nonsense about Putin "rearing his head" into Alaska? Was that Tina Fey too?

I caught her being interviewed by Andrea Mitchell this morning. Palin was out fishing. Mitchell asked some question about resigning and Palin's answer started with "You're not listening!" It sounded so weird and whiny. It was a perfect example of her akwardness and all I took away from the interview.

After they played the interview Mitchell was talking to the morning show host (Matt Laurer I'm 99% sure) and he asked something about exactly where the interview took place. Mitchell says something and then mumbles "you can see Russia for there."

The media elites really drop any pretense to objectivity when talking about her.

Still, you can hate the elites and recognize a ditz when you see one.

All that being said, an Obama Vs. Palin matchup for president would be a culture war the likes of which we've never see before. I don't think I'd do anything but sit in front of the TV for six months. I'm rooting for it regardless of any other considerations.

Steve,

I wanted to like Sarah Palin. A beautiful, conservative white woman with 5 kids. That's what liberals hated about her, I know.

And I know that she didn't have time to study foreign policy.

But still. What does that have to do with why she couldn't name a single newspaper that she reads? Or the nonsense about seeing Russia from her house?

I don't know if it's low IQ or her being so nervous that makes her ramble and says ridiculous things. Either way, she's not cut out for prime time.

You've never gotten over your initial positive feelings told her and it clouds your judgement. This is not the conclusion I wanted to come to but watching her is painful.

"I'm not sure what the correlation between language abilities and "cosmopolitan viewpoint" is. Consider that paragon of linguistic skills, Dr. Revilo P. Oliver. He spoke at least thirteen languages to a relatively fluent level and wrote scholarly articles in four. However, he was singularly uncosmopolitan in many ways."

Quite a sample size you got there.

In all seriousness, reading Revilo Oliver is a guilty pleasure. The racial slurs mixed in with the references to the classics and gentlemanly affability is something we'll never see again.

For those who have never heard of Revilo Oliver: look him up and know that he once wrote regular columns for National Review.

I'd just like to say I hate Christopher Hitchens.

The guy was a communist and then a neo-con. A guy so wrong in such different ways ought to be ashamed to show his face in public. Yet he's disgustingly smug. Not to mention a fat drunk.

"I wonder why the same phenomenon does not seem to affect East Asian men, who supposedly also have low testosterone. They seem to do a much better job of keeping their women in check than their Northern European counterparts do."

Their women have less testosterone too. It takes pussy men and loud mouth feminist to make it work. A society made up of Asian men and white females would probably make Sweden look like Iraq!

Another theory is that with races intermingling the gender within each race that is less socially valued becomes embittered at the more desirable one. So among blacks you get the sistahs complaining about rich and high status blacks marrying whites women, Asian men bitter about white guys taking Asian women and white men frustrated by white females who have more options than anybody.

These natural imbalances are a good case for racial separation. In the end, Islam is more adaptive than anything else. I suspect on the sexual free market Arab/Persian females would be more desired than their male counterparts so Middle Eastern men should do whatever it takes to resist globalization and secularism.

Not sure why, but there seems to be sort of a racial angle to these radical feminist excesses. That is, they seem to only occur among whites, and mainly among the whitest of the white – the peoples of northwestern Europe. Southern and eastern Europeans are less feminist, and non-whites even less.

That's what I always thought

Moxon’s theory of women being favored, like many things, makes sense in the Western world but not universally. He says about Middle Eastern culture

"The very different experience of Muslim and Hebraic cultures-where social practices are derived primarily from canonical text rather than the codification of biological imperatives-is the exception that proves the rule. Indeed a plausible argument could be made that the ‘patriarchal’ moral and legal codes deriving from the ‘religions of the book’ are an attempt to redress the imbalance revealed by the practice of ‘natural’ societies."

But doesn’t that seem backwards? Wouldn’t we expect that culture and religion would work with a group’s nature instead of “fixing imbalances?” Kevin MacDonald makes the case in his paper What Makes Western Culture Unique? that inherent racial differences are reflected in and reinforced by religious and cultural practices. Like with the question of race and IQ, it is more reasonable to assume differences than similarity in the kinds of societies we expect different groups to create. I wonder if Moxon really believes that Afghans or Saudis are inherently just as likely to fall for “The Woman Racket” and adopt society destroying feminism as Swedes are.

Racial differences can also help explain why no group of whites has reacted to incentives for irresponsibility the way black Americans have. In 2007 the black out-of-wedlock birth rate hit an all-time high of 72%. Africans are not only looser sexually but have different ideas about the obligations of men and women. Steve Sailer writes that in the West “feminists complain that men lock women out of the world of work. But in Africa, men have always ceded most of the world of work to women.” We see the same thing with regards to out-of-wedlock birth rate to a lesser extent with America’s growing Latino population. East Asians may have birth rates as low as the West but you still don’t see Western style feminism or rampant anti-men discrimination. We all share certain qualities going back to the primordial ooze but different environments have had plenty of time to tweak our differences since then. While there are pluses and minuses to each system, feminism seems to be like racial masochism: a curse that only affects whites.

Look up the MacDonald paper for the theory. Also see "What's Wrong with White Men."

Here's another wonderful story from Sweden

Young women in Sweden, Germany and Australia have a new cause: They want men to sit down while urinating. This demand comes partly from concerns about hygiene — avoiding the splash factor — but, as Jasper Gerard reports in the English magazine The Spectator, "more crucially because a man standing up to urinate is deemed to be triumphing in his masculinity, and by extension, degrading women." One argument is that if women can't do it, then men shouldn't either. Another is that standing upright while relieving oneself is "a nasty macho gesture," suggestive of male violence.
A feminist group at Stockholm University is campaigning to ban all urinals from campus, and one Swedish elementary school has already removed them. In Australia, an Internet survey shows that 17 percent of those polled think men ought to sit, while 70 percent believe they should be allowed to stand. Some Swedish women are pressuring their men to take a stand, so to speak. Yola, a 25-year-old Swedish trainee psychiatrist, says she dumps boyfriends who insist on standing. "What else can I do?," said her new boyfriend, Ingvar, who sits.

To answer my own question, yes, it is time to root for the jihadis.

Is it time to root for the jihadis yet?

What's disturbing is that after this happened to him he's still singing the praises of America. The least advantaged group in society is the most patriotic. Someone needs to tap blue collar white guys on the shoulder and tell them it ain't their country anymore.

"off topic, but one thing I noticed in the iranian blogosphere. They are completely sure that Hollywood always depicts persians as blacks or mulattos because of jewish influence."

That's really fascinating. I presume these blogs that you read are in English? So English speaking Iranians think this?

Can you provide a link?

My first thought was why out of all the governors did it have to be one of only two or three whose sight I can stand?

I don't think this kills him politically. The wife says she wants to stay with him. Cry, bite your lip, say the experience made you stronger and move on. America loves that stuff.

Wow Steve, I never looked at dysgenics from that perspective.

Thanks, you ruined my night.

You know, the most militantly PC guy I ever met was an Italian who was as dark as a Pakistani. Maybe South Italians are bitter about being the only Europeans who by man on the street standard aren't white? Most Jews and even some Persians/Arabs are whiter than this guy in your article. And he's "European." It must drive him nuts!

Does anybody know the amount of negro blood in the South Italian population? Did all blacks who ever lived there since ancient times blend in?

"The statement might be true today but it was different five hundred years ago. After nearly eight hundred years of Moorish rule the Spaniard's ideal of beauty was a woman with dark hair and dark eyes. The Spaniards could not believe their luck when they landed in the Americas to find women that matched their ideal of feminine beauty."

You think you can say something like that without providing a source?

"Again, some good data-naut out there ought to be able to track this down."

For the modern world, it's not that hard

The list isn't complete, obviously. Most countries have men 2-4 years older than women.

Countries with biggest age discrepencies…

Philippeans 6.5
Niger 6.3
Saudi Arabia 6.2
Greece 6.1 years
Chad 6.1

Interestingly, in Argentina women are 4.3 older than men and in Chile women are 2 years older. In the latter the marrying ages are 37 and 35! In Mexico the ages are the same.

I don't believe the data from Latin America.

I liked Seinfeld and never watched Curb Your Enthusiasm. So I went out and got the DVD of the first season the other day on Steve's recommendation.

Good show. One thing though. I don't know what it is, but I absolutely HATE Richard Lewis. Something about him really rubs me the wrong way.

"Lets face it, white women are best looking women on earth. Everyone competes for white women, while no one really wants black women. Whoever has the money and status gets the white women. There's a reason there's a market for Russian wives but not for African or Guatemalan wives. Every man in the world wishes he could have a blond hair Nordic Goddess. And that's all YOU need to know…."

It's a little crude to say so, but with the coming extinction of the European people, let's indulge.

It's interesting that the major world religion that bans alcohol has arranged marriages. I don't know which came first, but maybe your extended family being your social circle and not having to worry about finding a wife or making friends makes the social lubricant unnecessary.

The word “continent” should be after “entire.”

“I think you might be on the right track here actually ben. Have any of you guys seen Chris Rock’s stand up routine where he goes on about how African-American slaves might have been bred for their stupidity? ” 
 
It’s not just that. William Shockley was fretting decades ago about the rapid dysgenic rate among African Americans.  
 
Anyway, I don’t believe this one bit. Jensen and Rushton make a convincing case that the African American IQ is actually 78. See page 8. 
 
Unfortunately I can’t access the study right now but it sounds like BS that the IQ of an entire has been consistently underestimated by 12-15 points. 
 
Someone is either grossly incompetent or lying. As a long time observer of these debates, I assume it’s the more politically correct side until I’ve had a chance to examine the data.

"It's White Women who drive AA. Who form it's electoral support and who have moved to support it at every turn."

Ah, Testing. I want you to know that I wrote this with you in mind.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tie it in with Iranian nukes.

"concerning discplacement and ending america, in practical terms, who is doing more to end it?"

Good point. If a real conservative movement ever popped up in this country Bush and McCain would oppose it harder than the Mullahs ever would.

You know Steve, we're all constrained by what we choose to read.

I've been reading you for a few years and I spend more time on Isteve than the rest of the MSM combined. I naturally have always assumed that these rational ideas that you espouse must be gaining popularity and making things obvious for all.

Really, I'm completely irrational in thinking so. There's no reason to think that truth will win out. We could be talking about the same thing a hundred years from now.

Did I just fall into a time machine and go back a couple months ago?

Why are the only foreign people that American left wing blacks care about the Palestinians? It really is strange. Do they just see Jews as white and so take the side of their enemy?

Arabs don't like blacks, and don't feel guilty about it.

"That is a goddam lie. Kevin McDonald has proven no such thing. He merely rants and raves without proof, and you Jew-hating assholes who can't even make up an imaginative nickname believe him."

It's not just Kevin MacDonald. I recently read and reviewed Madison Grant's biography. It was written by a liberal Jew and tells the same story. Like today, Jews were disproportionately represented on both sides but MUCH more on the left.

Only 1-3% of Muslim marriages are polygamous? So what the hell has Testing been ranting about all this time?
