Here I am, soiling a fresh and innocent newborn thread with Pat Buchanan, but his latest white victimization whine ” The Bell Tolls for the ‘New Majority” garnered the typical latent racism from the supposedly Christian Townhall community:

Who is surprised? For many years we have provided welfare for baby mommas and increased the black numbers and allowed Mexicans that make it across the border and Cubans who make it across the beach the same welfare for reproducing and thus increasing brown numbers. There always were more people of color than those of us whites on a worldwide basis. We were blessed by the Judeo Christian belief system that hard work and good morals would always triumph. And if not we had all the guns. Politicians have long been aware of this. Last year the child was born that in 18 years will tip the scale to majority voters of color. Then white folk will come to understand the true meaning of living in a minority world.

As usual, Mr. Buchanan has hit the nail on the head. 50 years from now, America as we know it will not exist. It will have been replaced by a polyglot of blacks, browns, yellows, and a few whites, who will be fortunate if they can survive, much less thrive, in the new environment. I grieve for my grand-son, who will have to cope with that situation.

White liberals think that by breeding out whites and continuing to bar them from immigrating to this country, they will remain as the great white lords of the land… LOL. Reality and history says different. With years of heavy third world legal immigration and millions of illegals with birthright citizenship, the balance may have tipped to the point of no return. The entire world should be fearful. No more will there be the once great USA to turn to in time of trouble. “Diversity” has increased the welfare state to the point of collapse. We knew the end was near when history was re-written and national pride was labeled “offensive” while foreign “pride” praised. No unity, no country.

Don’t be distracted by the titillating story of Edward Snowden, who has apparently disappeared from his hotel in Hong Kong. Or the story of how and whether Hong Kong can extradite him to the United States. Or the story of Booz-Hamilton, the firm for which Snowden worked when he came across secret information, and its extensive work for the National Security Agency. Or the story about the government contracting out some of its intelligence-gathering work to private for-profit firms like Booz-Hamilton. These are diversions, whipped up by a media that panders to the public’s fascination with fugitives on the lamb and corporations on the take.
The real story here — the only signficant one — is that the U.S. government has been collecting huge amount of private data on U.S. citizens, including all their contacts, in complete secret, running roughshod over privacy and civil liberties. And now we find that it’s extended its dragnet to Google and other digital repositories. The so-called “war on terrorism” is the government’s alleged justification, but that’s a war without end — and even if the President went to great lengths last week to announce it was over, these continuing encroachments on personal liberties suggests it will not end unless or until we demand that it ends, in all its manifestations, including these.

Pat Buchanan has always been fond of racist cultural supremacy arguments. “Sounds better in the original German” fits as well as it ever did.

What is it with the American “conservative” social movement that what they like to boast as “intellectuals” often tend out to be just more creationists, and in the rare case of the non-religious they seem to be into sciency racism?
Anyway, Yuval Levin won the Bradley Prize and posted his acceptance speech on the religious right lobbying group Ethics and Public Policy Center website.
Yuval Levin’s own publication is National Affairs, which for example has republished an article by well known sciency racist Charles Murray, Intelligence and College, and which republishes articles denouncing Darwinism and promoting ID, and so forth. This is what “intellectual” means to the atavistic right in America.
And Levin is hailed as the next great “intellectual” by Jonathan Last, about whom I wrote last night of his praise for Steve Sailer, in my comments on Last’s podcast with SBTS head mullah Al Mohler.
It’s one big clusterfuck of racism, creationism, and exploitation of the marks in the pews.

“The Republican leadership knows it has a problem with women voters. Unfortunately anti-choice politicians in this party can’t figure out how to stop attacking the rights of women,” Hogue said. “Adding insult to injury, House leadership is trying to fool women again. They’ve tried to soften the impact of their latest legislative attack with an insensitive and insulting compromise.”
My first thought was: “What leadership?”

Dkos seems to really like this paragraph.
Glenn Greenwald Sums It Up In One Paragraph
How can anyone think that it’s remotely healthy in a democracy to have the NSA building a massive spying apparatus about which even members of Congress, including Senators on the Homeland Security Committee, are totally ignorant and find “astounding” when they learn of them? How can anyone claim with a straight face that there is robust oversight when even members of the Senate Intelligence Committee are so constrained in their ability to act that they are reduced to issuing vague, impotent warnings to the public about what they call radical “secret law” enabling domestic spying that would “stun” Americans to learn about it, but are barred to disclose what it is they’re so alarmed by? Put another way, how can anyone contest the value and justifiability of the stories that we were able to publish as a result of Edward Snowden’s whistleblowing: stories that informed the American public - including even the US Congress - about these incredibly consequential programs? What kind of person would think that it would be preferable to remain in the dark - totally ignorant - about them?
Is it just me of is Greenwald writing longer sentences than he used to?

They are terrified that minorities and women, when they get equality, will somehow seize power and treat white, Christian, straight men as badly as they have been treated.

To me I see the changing demographics as just another change in American society. When the Constituion was written, we were a predominately male and white Protestant dominated society. Today we have members of various cultural backgrounds in office, running businesses, etc. It’s funny to hear Pat Buchanan, a descendant of Irish Catholics bemoan these changes when a half century ago there was anxiety about a Catholic president. But bigots will be bigots.

Exactly. They can’t conceive that someone would behave differently than them. Which is a big part of the problem in the first place.

re: #9 Killgore Trout
That reminds me of Bachmann grilling Greenspan, asking him who gave the Fed authority to be involved in financial policies.
The Congress of 435 and the Senate of 100 makes for 535 individuals, too many to keep secrets. By Congress’ own arrangement, they’ve set up an Intelligence committee with select members, and subgroup of which get briefed on the most secret of intelligence programs.
By this arrangement most Congressmen are ignorant of the programs, on purpose.

So, I got turned on to the Wool Series by Hugh Howly (which has in interesting and inspirational route to publishing story).
In nutshell, the characters are living in post-apocalypse world and have all a spotty understanding of their own history and strict social order. When individiuals question history or the “order” they are killed. One doesn’t die and it leads the reader to learn more about the past and why these people are living as they are.
They are the ones (supposedly the only ones) left to seed the planet when it eventually becomes habitable again. The planners and the few in control have to justify the denial of knowledge and individual rights in order to ensure the species will survive the centuries in a closed environment They utilize tradition, religion and all sorts of control devices to reinforce the myth they have created.
When knowledge is a virus that leads to an upset of “the order”, social unrest and war. We are given examples of how this has been proven to be true.
I think the Whackos in our world are living in that reality. They truly believe that upsetting the “order”, patriarchy, in their minds will bring destruction to us
all.
While reading the book, one can see how this can be true. In our world, not so much.

So both newspapers have reported both the content of the slides, and Ed Snowden’s views, in a way that doesn’t inspire confidence about their accuracy, research or ability to gauge context.
No kidding. Yet I doubt that the Guardian or WaPo really care anymore. They are competing against HuffPo and Twitter, they know it, and their continued transformation into tabloids will continue, I propose.
22 | freetoken Fri, Jun 14, 2013 5:09:32pm |
HuffPo - will run just about anything, as long as the author is willing not to get paid in money.
Twitter - where an hour ago becomes ancient history.
How can traditional print journalism keep up? The audience for in-depth stories is small - ask the New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and the others who attempt a sort of high ground.

Greenwald seems to have basically sunk his own story with sloppy reporting. There’s really no way to salvage it at this point that doesn’t begin with a mea culpa and admission that he rushed this story without seeking consultation outside of Snowden.

The bill in question, the clunkily titled Swap Jurisdiction Certainty Act, was introduced earlier this year by Reps. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.), Mike Conaway (R-Tex.), John Carney (D-Del.), and David Scott (D-Ga.). It would exempt foreign arms of US banks from the new regulations on derivatives (which are financial products with values derived from from underlying variables, such as crop prices or interest rates) that are required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the big post-crisis Wall Street reform law.
You know, where there is large amounts of money to be made quickly, little oversight is needed. Just like the War on Drugs. No reason to know whose hand is in the cookie jar.

i’ve now finished all the GoT books
from the tv series i’m happy to discover that westeros is a kind of alternate britain of about the 12th century or so, despite having experienced a bronze age of twice the antiquity of our own
rr martin asks the question “what if you really had to live in a realistic version of that sword-and-sorcerer universe you all love so much?” in answer he has created a genre that i would call ‘sword-blood-shit-semen-betrayal-murder-and-sorcerer’
so, if there is any moral at all to be derived from GoT, i think it’s that the reality of a colorful, romantic, late medieval universe with magic and dragons would be that it would really suck even worse than the present and if you died quickly it would probably be the best you could hope for
i loved every minute of it!
