Empirically speaking, that post of yours is flawed on seventeen levels, which, in reverse order based on the epistemological factors not included in the Barfluug study1, which of course can't be comprehended without fully ingesting the works of Smithelm2,3,4 wherein he clearly posits that the interdeterministic feasibility of divergence is contraindicated by its organic fusion with the above, as anyone with seventeen years of post-doctorate work in applied neuroastronomy would know...you troll.

Here's a sample of recent Fjordy:
Blue eyes have become increasingly rare among North American children due to non European immigration and intermarriage with other ethnic groups. In 1900, 80 percent of people married within their ethnic group, and blue eyes a genetically recessive trait were passed down among people of northern European ancestry. About half of Americans born in 1899 had blue eyes compared to merely one 1 of every 6 today, and the rate keeps falling fast.We keep hearing a lot of people praising diversity in Western mass media these days, but Europeans have a higher natural diversity of hair- and eye colors than the inhabitants of all other continents combined. This great diversity of phenotypes is directly threatened by non-European mass immigration, which once again reminds us that diversity in the Multicultural vocabulary is merely a code word for getting rid of everything that s unique to Europeans.

I've wanted to watch the two British documentaries that have been made on them. In particular, Nazi Pop Twins. Apparently they grew up and realized their views were terrible, and their mother, who was probably the one that molded them into what they were in there pre/early teens, didn't take too kindly to her daughters becoming less racist. The mother was the real force behind their band.
Very sad story, but at the same time it gives me hope that other racist kids who are a product of racist parents aren't destined to be carbon-copies of their parents' bigotry.

Almost all of the companies’ qualms are based on the fact that E15 would do irreparable damage to cars made before 2001 and using the new ethanol fuel would violate many of the warranties they issue for their vehicles.

America's biggest teacher and principal cheating scandal unfolds in Atlanta
The report on the Atlanta Public Schools, released Tuesday, indicates a "widespread" conspiracy by teachers, principals and administrators to fix answers on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT), punish whistle-blowers, and hide improprieties.
One of the most troubling aspects of the Atlanta cheating scandal, says the report, is that the district repeatedly refused to properly investigate or take responsibility for the cheating. Moreover, the central office told some principals not to cooperate with investigators. In one case, an administrator instructed employees to tell investigators to "go to hell."

One day it's owl decoys, then cd's, then flash tape and balloons. The next item in my arsenal is a BirdXPeller PRO . I can't afford it (therefore the bank overdraft) but I'm getting desperate.

From my curosory reading it looks to me like through the course of the investigation they sold some guns and instead of arresting the middle men they waited to see who they were delivering them to. If they lost track of them or whatever I don't know. Just because Republicans are worked up about the possibility of Obama secretly funding Mexicans for an invasion of the US doesn't mean I'm going to take it seriously. If other people want to follow up on the story that's fine, I have no objections but it's probably not going to pan out. Just like when they were investigating the fake Black Panther scandal. When it turns out to be bogus they'll just move on to the next bogus story. They might get one right eventually.

ATF screwed the pooch big time on this one. Arguably their biggest fail ever.
That actually reminds me that the target organization of these allegations also makes me suspicious. Just like ACORN, NPR and Planed Parenthood the wingnuts have long hated the ATF at least since Waco (and probably before). The wingnut version of the Waco story is also bogus.

It's not big news - big news would have been highlighting the sanctions busting arms running the CIA did to Liberia & Sierra Leone in the early part of the last decade to hopped up maniacs - or to any other part of the world over the last 50 years.
This is small beans in comparison to some really really bad shit thats gone down.
But it involves Mexicans and Holder. Thus the hook.

Of course. How silly of me for trying to attain any sense of historical perspective.
If i'm reading this less references to Mexico and Holder......... the ATF screwed up and nobody particularly wants to talk about it......i'm not sure "people not wanting to talk about a clusterfuck" is the same as actively covering up said clusterfuck though.

I have no opinion on the cover up except when they happen it is usually after and epic screw up. In any case Fast & Furious was an irresponsible, and then botched attempt at investigating drug gang guns. Did you see the Jon Stewart take on this?

Here's a sample of recent Fjordy:
He used to propagandize exclusively against Muslims. I hear he's recently branched out to include Jews.
Friend of mine used to teach an African-American student with milk-chocolate skin and baby-blue eyes, so Fjordman should not despair; those recessives do go rolling along.
That said, people are not cats, and we don't breed for coloring or markings that we think are pretty. OTOH, it has long been in the nature of our species to go exploring or migrate, find other groups of people and make babies with them.
There isn't even a candy-coating over the racism of this nonsensical fussing that blonde or red hair or blue eyes may somehow vanish from the earth, and that this will be some sort of catastrophe. Even less over the idea that American children are supposed to look 'European', and that interracial marriage is taking this away from us.
An American looks like whatever the hell an American looks like. After we start marrying Vulcans, Americans will have pointy ears, and who the hell cares?

Also, plenty of my interracial students actively participate in keeping their European heritage cultures alive. You'll see black and Latina girls involved in Irish and Scottish dancing, for example. Does he think the culture ends because its heirs don't look like the Barbie in the national costume?

Ah. So he's one of those douchebags who presents his racism and ignorance in expensive words. Instead of blathering about race mixing or whatever, he whines about blue eyes.
Because you know, all Europeans ever had was blue eyes, and even those are being taken away.
