"When one race or culture overwhelms another culture, they run them out or they kill them. And it's a bigger issue than just being Democrats...Once the numbers are so bad, they can pretty much do whatever they want to do."
-- radio caller concerned about a future majority of Hispanic citizens in the U.S.

"What protects us from any kind of ethnic cleansing is the rule of law, of course...And now we have a president who disregards the law when it suits his interests."

Obviously they're concerned about having what their forefathers did to the Indians done to them.

I keep warning you people about Kansas...

I just watched the third Futurama movie tonight.

But instead of science, we believe in crazy hocus pocus. It's sort of like Kansas.

"Dear Sasha and Malia, I get your both in those awful teen years but you're a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least respect the part you play. Then again, your mother and father don't respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I'm guessing you're coming up a little short in the 'good role model' department. Nevertheless, stretch yourself. Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot in a bar. And certainly don’t make faces during televised, White House events."

- Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for US Rep. Stephen Lee Fincher, (R) of Tennessee

Holy crap, kids were kids. News at 11. Don't ever drag the kids into politics, it's just not cool.

 

[Gori the Grey]

Your gonna need a new communications director, Fincher.

The "white slavery" thing seems to be big on the interwebs lately.

Because it is politically incorrect to say that, since only white people are that evil. The word "slave" comes from the Slavic people, who were frequently slaves of various empires. The last time I looked, they were white.

What are you rambling on about? Since when do people of any colour have a monopoly on being thoughtlessly evil?

So you're accepting the worldview of that pic?

Quite sure he is one of those "Political Must Die Correctness" people.

Anyway,
"the German speaks a language which has been alive ever since it first issued from the force of nature, whereas the other Teutonic races speak a language which has movement on the surface only but is dead at the root."
-Johann Gottlieb Fichte, p. 68, Addresses to the German nation (Translated by R.F. Jones and G.H. Turnbull)

 

[Traitorfish]

That whacky Fichte. Studied him a little last year, interesting guy, stands at this really weird point in the development from civic to ethnic nationalism, so he's like "vive la revolution, but also, no Jews".

 

[Flying Pig]

Is it really such a linear development, though? Ethnic nationalism is much older than Fichte and civic nationalism continued long after him.

 

[Traitorfish]

You think a post that describes his politics as "vive la revolution, but also, no Jews" might be over-simplifying things just a tad?

 

[Flying Pig]

That's pretty sophisticated analysis by our standards on CFC.

Slaves to vampire empires actually sounds neat.
