* “Things should be called by their proper names.”
Generally yes, but not necessarily. On an internet with ever-more sophisticated search-engines, there are good reasons for sometimes speaking in code, if you don’t want to attract the attention of hasbara trolls or government snitches.
* I imagine Trump and Adelson had a good OTR discussion about combover techniques. Adelson rocks an epic jet black combover.
* Is there a scholarly study of how the media spun birth control in the Sixties? iSteve has noted how the sexual revolution was a big win for horny guys, but more ambiguous for women (who were expected to start giving themselves away, with no commitment required). Can we trace how this happened?
* If Jews with power (media, money, etc.) were willing to support white gentiles’ ethnic interests (closed borders, repatriation of nonwhite immigrants, ending affirmative action, no world war against Russia, etc.), then it’s reasonable that we can support their pet project, too, at least to an extent. (Military aid yes, diplomatic protection against UN sanctions yes, but maybe no more wars in the ME, especially since I think they might eventually prove counter-productive to Israel as well. But who knows – after repatriations and the start of new pro-white policies, we might even consider bombing Iran or whatever.)
* I am concerned about Donald Trump’s health; he is a vigorous 69, but still 69. The schedule he has been keeping would wear out a man in his 40s. I wonder too, how has the barrage of criticism affected him? Everyone from Glenn Beck to Mitt Romney to the Pope has been attacking not only his policies but his character. To them, his character is a mix of least desirable traits of Ghenghis Khan, Caesar Borgia, Hitler and Lucifer.
I hope his wife Melania might weigh in, convince him to cut back his schedule and not to respond to every new attack. One problem with a trophy wife, however, is that she’s likely to be as dazzled as anyone–a wife that “knew you when,” might be in a better position to say “I know what’s best for you, Donald.”
* My Iowa Presbyterian church had an influential group of Christian Zionists, who believed firmy that the Jews remained God’s Chosen People (events of the First Century AD in Roman-occupied Palestine to the contrary notwithstanding) and that the United States had a religious duty to support the state of Israel. These people made Menachim Begin look like a wimp. It’s an attitude that’s impossible to refute, since there’s no scriptural basis for it, nor any Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox doctrinal basis for it. Has anyone ever examined the intellectual roots of this movement? It took me years to get over it and regard Israel as a U.S. ally, but one with its own interests and one that needs to be kept at arms-length, with relations conducted in the self-interest of the U.S.
* Trump is neglecting basics – he spends little on TV ads and does not build enough locally. Which is really stupid – all this tremendous effort at this opportune time when he really has a good chance, all of it down the drain merely because he decided to save an extra $10 million.
* Kasich is not a great guy.
In condemning Trump for not condemning David Duke forcefully enough, Kasich said “there is no place for white supremacists in America.”
Now I get that the non-Trump candidates are desperate, Kasich in particular. I get that playing dirty is sometimes part of politics. I don’t hold Kasich’s cheap trick here against him.
What bothers me goes deeper.
A) Is it even fair to refer to Duke as a “white supremacist”? Yes, the KKK could fairly he described as a white supremacist organization but he no longer is really part of them. I think Duke today can best be described as an anti-Jewish-supremacy-ist.
But enough about Duke.
Notice Kasich didn’t say there was no place for “ethnic/racial supremacists.” Just no place for white supremacists. Given the track record if Cuckservatism Inc it’s not unreasonable to assume Kasich has no beef with black supremacists or, especially, Jewish supremacists.
Finally, note how he didn’t say “white supremacy.” He said “white supremacists.” What does he want to do with them? Deport them? Imprison them? Kill them? It’s serious when a politician says there is no place in America for an entire class of people.
Kasich is not a “great guy.” He is merely on the right part of the anti-white spectrum. Make no mistake: a vote for Kasich is a vote for white genocide.
* From what I have read, a lot more East Germans are drawn to the far right because of the economic problems left by Communism (which was, after all, a universalist system with the Soviet Union at its head). Prosperity did a better job of anesthetizing the Germans, I’d say. Trump-ism didn’t get anywhere until you had lots of people with no or crummy jobs.
Also, while I agree Germans are now dealing with the problems of *too little* nationalism, *too much* wasn’t good for them either–even if you’re antisemitic Hitler did cost them large tracts of land, and the odium of the rest of Europe. It’s a tricky balance, as with most things in the social sciences. Particularly with a national character like Germany’s that tends to produce an overachieving country with an exaggerated sense of its own correctness. (Irony intended–your worst enemies are often pretty similar to you.)
