hordes of overwhelmingly white

So many thoughts so little time.

I guess if I leave my "costume" off, I'm not quite as white.

Glenn's show was pretty good. I think despite his usual daily hype that “the end is nigh” he was a little freaked out when they told him how bad it could really get.

In the end you know you're doing a good job when Salon attacks you.

I made no comments except the “so many lies on one page” so everything else is from Salon...

I hate when the shitstabbers use the term "partner" it's like they are in some joint business venture or something.

Pardon my bluntness I'm a bit more cynical as I have grown older.

Oh ok thanks!

Sometimes posters add words of their own in the main body of the text but don't separate them

One of Greenwald's most notable First Amendment clients was Matthew Hale, a leader of the organization formerly known as the World Church of the Creator and now known as the Creativity Movement, who, on April 6, 2005, was sentenced to a 40-year prison term for soliciting an undercover FBI informant to kill federal judge Joan Lefkow.

Greenwald observes that he has been openly gay for 20 years and that, while he has lived in the United States all his life, he divides his time between New York City and Brazil, the country of citizenship of his Brazilian male partner.

describing himself as at first neither liberal nor conservative but as one who had taken positions that can be ascribed to both liberals and conservatives, voting neither for George W. Bush nor for any of his rivals, indeed not voting at all.

While in the prediction market here is one: 12-12-2012 as I am sure most have heard of, well here is my possible take. 0bama get beat in Nov of’12 can’t face losing the office and calls on his followers to rise up and overtake America. Hey it is as good as anyone else.

“Is it irresponsible for Fox News to be airing this over the top, creepy alarmist stuff during a financial crisis? Well, yeah, I think so.”

I agree. Chicken Little is the last thing we need now.

Glenn Greenwald makes Elton John look straight by comparison.

My favorite passage:

"The disturbingly ugly atmosphere that marked virtually every Sarah Palin rally had its roots in this cultural resentment, which is why her fear-mongering cultural warnings about Obama's exotic, threatening otherness -- he's a Muslim-loving, Terrorist-embracing, Rev.-Wright-following Marxist: who is the real Barack Obama? -- resonated so stingingly with the rabid lynch mobs that cheered her on."

We helped Bush win.And they are deathly afraid of our political reawakening.

They know We WILL kick their asses again, either at the polls, or in the streets. Why do you think Obama started stacking his deck against us from day one? They are afraid, very afraid, and they should be.

They fear the gloved hand of the American patriot. And they see it taking a wellpractised position at the end of a strong, cocked arm.

Tremble you little weeble warblers. We are coming for YOU!

Squeal like the little fascist weeny rigs that you are!

I love it when leftest weenies are afraid, I can smell it from Tucson, and I live in Maine!!

>>>But this Rush-Limbaugh/Fox-News/nationalistic movement isn’t driven by anything noble or principled or even really anything political. If it were, they would have been extra angry and threatening and rebellious during the Bush years instead of complicit and meek and supportive to the point of cult-like adoration. Instead, they’re just basically Republican dead-enders (at least what remains of the regional/extremist GOP), grounded in tribal allegiances that are fueled by their cultural, ethnic and religious identities and by perceived threats to past prerogatives — now spiced with legitimate economic anxiety and an African-American President who, they were continuously warned for the last two years, is a Marxist, Terrorist-sympathizing black nationalist radical who wants to re-distribute their hard-earned money to welfare queens and illegal immigrants (and is now doing exactly that).<<<

The left is setting us up - slope-headed white male Christian racists who are the real terrorists. This is just the start. The left wants an active, armed rebellion - one that can allow them to implement harsh, probably fascistic, measures to crush the opposition.

I’m advising the John Galt Rebellion.

Just stop being productive. Reduce your wealth creation to the point where you don’t pay taxes. If you run a business, cut back to the minimum. Don’t work hard. Sure, if you have to pay taxes, do it, but try your best to give as little as possible to the government. The state might be able to take your wealth and property, but they can’t make you work hard.

Don’t be a target. If the government is going to treat us as slaves, respond as a slave - sullen obedience, half-assed effort, subtle undermining, timewasting.

The left’s internal contradiction is that it needs the wealth of productive people to obtain power. Stop being productive, and the left is starved.

And it’s better than that. Once the idea is established among the productive to stop being productive, it will be impossible to stop. An idea has no organization, no heirarchy, no leadership. Once established, it can’t be stopped or defeated. This is especially true with a subtle and far-reaching concept as remaining unproductive as a means of undermining the leftists. It will be impossible for the state to determine who’s just being lazy and who is being purposefully unproductive.

I’m not going to set myself up as a target. I’m going to set myself up as termite.

Who is John Galt?
