"Doubt" is putting it mildly.<br /><br />Fair enough. A distinction must be made however, between the near universal Jewish tendency to circle the wagons in public conversation and the idea that the Jews generally act in each others' interest. <br /><br />I doubt, for example, that Bernie Madoff ever dreamt of publicly badmouthing the Jewish community, but he clearly had no problem bringing material ruin and disrepute to his fellow Jews. Equally, established American Jewry took up arms against Henry Ford's verbal expressions of anti-semitism but didn't do much to save European Jews from Hitler's slightly more physical expressions of Jew hatred.<br /><br />This is not to imply that that verbal group cohesion doesn't bleed into the real world, but my main point that speech codes!= behavior still stands.<br /><br />-The Judean People's FrontAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-47320860646457331912013-04-26T10:27:51.016-07:002013-04-26T10:27:51.016-07:00thinking back on American movies/TV, was there eve...<i> thinking back on American movies/TV, was there ever a time that the characters in a long-running law enforcement drama could just fight the bad guys, and leave it at that, or has the phrase 'This time, it's personal' been around longer than I seem to recall?</i><br /><br />Fits the first 4-5 seasons of Dick Wolf's Law & Order to a tee.

Now, however, there is no national purpose behind open borders, behind the visa scams, behind the Diversity Lottery, or behind refugee resettlement: all of these have only an economic purpose that suits our Dear Rulers and their crony-globalist-capitalist one-pecenters, while ordinary Americans get the beshat end of that stick.Auntie Analoguenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-47097519780801303972013-04-25T18:18:18.483-07:002013-04-25T18:18:18.483-07:00I was thinking about the demise of disinterestedne...I was thinking about the demise of disinterestedness recently in a very different context. <br /><br />My wife and I like watching CSI and CSI:NY. Recently we've been watching the last couple seasons of the latter, and I found myself becoming more and more impatient as nearly episode followed a similar pattern: horrific crime discovered; CSIs investigage -- and suddenly! -- it turns out the victim has some personal connection to one of the CSIs. No case in which the team can just do their jobs and act disinterestedly is good enough anymore.<br /><br />The context of the CSI franchises throws this phenomenon into relief with particular clarity, I think, since CSIs are otherwise such paragons of cold, objective science. That's something I initially liked about the show -- it was less of a soap opera disguised as a crime procedural. Sure, there had to be storylines about the characters' personal lives, but now that's not sufficient. The whole universe, including and especially every crime that occurs in major American cities, has to revolve around the individuals involved.<br /><br />A question for Steve and readers: thinking back on American movies/TV, was there ever a time that the characters in a long-running law enforcement drama could just fight the bad guys, and leave it at that, or has the phrase 'This time, it's personal' been around longer than I seem to recall?

They'll vote for a white Democrat over a Hispanic Republican because the Democrat can deliver more welfare benefits.</em><br /><br />That's true now. But what if Rubio is taking the long view. Look at 20 years from now, after this amnesty and the next one, with another 40 million or so mestizos in the country and demographics having put whites firmly in the minority. Mestizos will be numerous enough to control their own party, but blacks already have total control of the Democrats, so that leaves the GOP. Taking it over (which it's practically begging for anyway) would be a lot easier than forming a new party and growing it to a position of power. At that point, both parties will be liberal and handing out goodies; the difference between them will be entirely tribal, determining which non-white group gets the bulk of the spoils. Rubio and the Bushes can position themselves at the top of that non-white-non-black party now, and ride it into power when there are enough of those voters.<br /><br />Makes sense to me. Blacks already vote entirely on race lines, and mestizos mostly do. Whites don't yet, and may not until they're too outnumbered for it to matter. Heck, maybe that's when we'll finally get a third party that gets somewhere -- when the two main parties are brown and black, and whites are forced to start thinking tribally and start looking elsewhere.<br /><br />As I say, it's a theory.Cail Corishevhttp://cailcorishev.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-34469854324978080992013-04-25T15:48:37.753-07:002013-04-25T15:48:37.753-07:00

Sergeant Strank later gave his life in the battle to take the rest of that sulphurous island.<br /><br />Since the first Slovak arrived in the United States Slovak-Americans have become first-rate, completely assimilated Americans. I would bet that no one here can name a Slovak-American who has done anything against our country.<br /><br />Following close on the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of the First World War, all of my Slovak grandparents immigrated from what had just become the independent Czechoslovakia. All of my grandparents labored at hard manual jobs, made sure their children became first-rate All-American citizens - within a generation all were perfectly assimilated. <br /><br />Together with almost all of my uncles, in World War II my father sailed the North Atlantic in a small escort ship; one of my uncles was in the D-Day assault waves on OMAHA Beach; another was an Army infantryman in several of the island assaults in the Southwest Pacific Theater; another was a flight engineer top turret gunner aboard a B-24 Liberator when his bomber was shot down on one of the Ploesti raids, and he spent the rest of the war in a Luftstalag. Everyone from my grandparents to my parents and their siblings and cousins and fellow parishoners came here, toiled at hard work, kept their noses clean, followed the rules, assmilated, built homes, put their grandchildren through college.<br /><br />So, yes, Slovakia exists.

Kids all over listen to rap music and watch American movies and learn English and dress like American singers and actors. They imitate American fashions. <br />In the 90s, I met a family that found refuge in the US with the invasion of Kuwait. During the Iraqi invasion, they sided with the Iraqis, but as Americans 'liberated' Kuwait, they came under attack from angry Kuwaitis who saw them as collaborators(with Iraqi invaders). So, they settled in the US and set up a small dollar store business close to the video rental store I used to work at. (Ah yes, the irony. US liberates Kuwait from evil Iraq but then accepts the collaborators of the evil Iraqi regime as immigrants.) <br /><br />What amazed me was how the kids--three sons--were totally Americanized in their English skills, obsessions--video games and sports--, and etc. (But then, even Kim Jong Un loves the NBA and hangs with Dennis Rodman.) To be sure, their father was a worldly man who'd made business trips to Europe and been around. But it was like the kids arrived in America already assimilated. They were 'Assyrian-Christian' but they could have been just like any other American kids.<br /><br />I like old nationalism better. And old cosmopolitanism, with its intellectual ambitions, had some value. But globalism today that is making the world into a disneyland with KFC in every street corner and video-game-crazed kids seems trashy and vapid.

If natio...Is leapfrogging a form of universalism? <br /><br />If nationalism means 'I live for my nation' and if universalism means 'I belong to the family of man', then leap-frogging means to go beyond nationalism and embrace the whole family of man. <br /><br />The current reality is weird and contradictory on both the right and the left. <br />Conservatives tend to be more nationalistic, but then, promote universalism within the nation. <br />Liberals tend to be more universalistic, but then, promote ethnocentrism within the nation. <br /><br />Real conservatives want national borders sealed to maintain the Judeo-Christian/White character of the nation. But within the nation, they want all groups to assimilate into the mono-universal family, i.e. non-whites or non-Christians should assimilate to white/Christian cultural and legal norms. One might argue that this form of mono-universalism is favored by conservatives because white nations are dominated by white values(which are upheld as 'universal'), so it's really a means of imposing white/Christian values and norms on minorities. <br /><br />Liberals(and of course libertarians) are far less mindful of or even hostile to national borders. They see themselves as cosmopolitan 'citizens of the world'; thus, national boundaries are seen as anathema or 'reactionary' hindrance to the free flow of peoples and ideas. What does it matter who lives where since we are all fundamentally alike? <br /><br />But with their cult of 'diversity', liberals also promote differences among cultures and races and peoples. This stands in the way of assimilation within nations as minorities feel they should retain their 'differences' for the sake of diversity than assimilate with the majority. <br /><br />Nevertheless, there is a kind of glue that is pulling everyone around the world together. A kind of mondo-trasho-Americanism.<br /> <br />Though the Right sees the world in terms of non-whites and Third World invading the West, this is only true in a demographic sense. In the economic, pop-cultural, political, and military sense, it's the West that is penetrating all over the world--look what happened to Libya. US corporations have unprecedented access to Africa, Asia, Middle East, Latin America, and elsewhere in search for markets and labor. <br />Western elites 'invade' the world, and the world masses 'invade' the West. That seems to be the bargain. Western elites gain access to opportunities all over the world, and Third World masses gain access to the West. So, the West is both winning and losing, both invading and being invaded. <br />(During the Cold War, the USSR stood as a kind of bulwark against this. But as US is the lone superpower--and as the rising superpower China is capitalist than communist--, globalism marches on. During the Cold War, US would never have dared to do what it did in Libya. But today, NATO does it and even the Middle East and Africa don't complain but look the other way. You don't mess with the lone superpower, especially if there's lots of cashes and prizes if you go along. In a way USSR was kind of a positive force for restraining the full reach of globalism.) <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-9540941312543479782013-04-25T15:06:58.778-07:002013-04-25T15:06:58.778-07:00Steve, OT but this is definitely something I thoug...Steve, OT but this is definitely something I thought you would take an interest in:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21576662-governments-should-be-colour-blind-time-scrap-affirmative-action" rel="nofollow">Time to scrap affirmative action</a><br /><br />That someone would float these opinions isn't that surprising, but The Economist!?
