by nezua. written Friday, April 30th, 2010 11:51 am ARIZONA, the State of Denial, has spun into a legislative carnival of lunacy with the latest ethnic cleansing maneuver. Teachers with accents will be barred from teaching English, and Chicano Studies linked to terrorism/revolution and banned from schools. THE USA WHITE SOUTH has always been a bit…collectively delusional. But you can’t blame that on the South. It’s long been the American way (as well as the way of a number of other countries and peoples throughout time) to blaze into an area, steal land through legitimized war, law, or other displays of naked aggression and then imagine it can be remade and the history and rights of those who lived there, forgotten. I can’t quite agree with the characterization of the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote—I don’t see Mexican/Mexican culture as a negative, nor bemoan the fact that nature and reality tend to assert themselves despite humankinds’ persistent fantasies to the contrary—but I do appreciate, even as he was a member of the growing Empire, his grasp of the future: —Ralph Waldo Emerson, 72;prior to the American Invasion of México He’s kind of saying…you can’t fool Mother Nature. Or…truth will out. Either way, in this day and age and cultural mood, this sounds terribly dramatic and fearsome, but of course, coming from a member of an imperialist , colonizing nation the view makes sense. It is, albeit with some insight, and I’d like to imagine a dollop of moral foreboding—the very same lens that most the lawmakers in Arizona are seeing through. All while they and the GOP croak-soothy and tell us these sorts of bills are attempting to Protect America or some weird racist shit like that. But the mask slips in this Age of Obama and the Terrifying® notion of a shrinking white population. And the mask finally, I think, is falling. “This is just one more indication of the incredible anti-immigrant sentiment in the state,” said Bruce Merrill, a professor emeritus at Arizona State University who conducts public-opinion research. [...] Adding insult to injury, the Arizona legislature passed a bill yesterday outlawing ethnic studies programs: HB 2281 would make it illegal for a school district to have any courses or classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or advocate ethnic solidarity “instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.” It also would ban classes that “promote resentment toward a race or class of people.” The measure is directed at the Tuscon Unified School District’s popular Mexican-American studies department … It’s cute how they tie “overthrowing the government” with “ethnic studies.” But we know, of course, it is not Chican@s who are talking about overthrowing this corrupt government. It’s white people, today. Patriots. Joe Stack types. Oathkeepers and Oklahoma Bomber types. I will make clear that I am not interested in a culture war that pits “white culture” vs remembering my roots and family and the history of the US and Mexico. Firstly, I don’t know what “white culture” is. It seems to me a phrase trying to pose an object by naming a non-entity, as “whiteness” is really a implied negation posing as an entity in the first place. White Culture, as it were, doesn’t exist. It can only reasonably be identified when no other cultural signifier exists. It’s an ideological vacuum. That’s why when Glenn Doofus Beck was asked what white culture actually was, he thought IT WAS A TRICK QUESTION. Let that soak in for a second: Glenn Beck admits that his own beliefs are tricks played on him by others. And yet, he lacks any self reflection of the fact that he has been brainwashed into a type of young senility. All while thinking, somehow, that he has anything of worth to say to anyone about anything—especially culture and identity!! Secondly, I don’t see a problem with me remembering my history, familia, and the history of the US invasion into Mexico and related realities. I just don’t see this as competition with what old, white people in Arizona want to do with their day. So Arizona is really losing it’s cool. And I am very glad the mask is dropping. ICE, Arpaio, FAIR, AZ’s always harsh and hostile posture toward immigrants (ahem, Mexicans) Culture-Murder/Intellectual Ethnic Cleansing agendas, as shown in this latest move…. The most frustrating and crazymaking part of focusing on, eradicating, or exposing racist movements is that since they are movements based on fear and ignorance, they slither; they do not stand in truth. They are afraid to admit their real intent. (Because even those harmful humans do have a heart and conscience and working mind, tho slathered under the sediment of self-deception, and so do have shame for their actions on a deep, dark, quiet and subverbal level.) They live in confusion, in other words. So they sow confusion in others in order to carry out their work. Without that public ignorance cloak to shield them, the gig falls apart with enough people walking away from that energy and agenda. Which is what is happening today in the USA. That’s why Dan Stein of FAIR on Maddow the other day was so furious. (Ew, he has such an ugly energy!) That’s why all he cared about was how what Rachel was doing was sowing “division” between FAIR and “Hispanics.” If FAIR loses its fake-ass image of being One With the People and ONLY against ILLEGULZ, they’ve got nada. AZ, in losing its cool, is blowing the lid off all that cover. It’s a scary, ugly, beautiful thing.
Poster Comment: Dude's right; and WHITES can do business with him. "Americans", "Constitutionalists", "patriots", "tea partiers", yada yada cannot. And they will lose, just like Dixie did.

“The United States will conquer Mexico, but it will be as the man swallows the arsenic, which brings him down in turn. Mexico will poison us.”
The Arizona Department of Education recently began telling school districts that teachers whose spoken English it deems to be heavily accented or ungrammatical must be removed from classes for students still learning English. [...]

The mofo who wrote this steaming pile of $#it must be incredibly ignorant or enjoys fooling people into thinking he doesn't have two brain cells. I wonder if he has never heard their fantasies about Atzlan and the San-Diego Plan.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Best I could tell, about the only thing he was right about was calling Glen Beck a doofus. He is. But the rest of this, if it were actually on paper, wouldn't even be fit for a birdcage liner.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I agree with the highlighted parts. Dude's not the white man's friend, exactly, but he is the enemy of the white man's enemy.
I rise in great respect for the courage and high ideals of Rosa Parks who stood steadfastly for the rights of individuals against unjust laws and oppressive governmental policies. -- Ron Paul
No, if the idiot who slapped this pos together is a "friend" of the white man then the white man doesn't need any enemies. I found very little in it that I agreed with.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Let's just say that the author's future does not lie in critical thinking.
About 15 years ago I told a Jewish friend that my ideal would be something like 1950s America minus Jim Crow. His wordless reply consisted of a look of pity and a shake of the head. Not until seven years later did I figure out why he reacted like that: Beacuse THAT'S WHAT I ALREADY HAD!

You can minus all you want from your culture. There will always be such looks of pity and a shake of the head. Your culture will never suffice, will never have the respect of these people.
I see psyops everywhere.
Yeppers.

Ah, I don't think so! A Jewish false flag to try to stem the tide of the rising militia membership across the country at the time was why the OKC bombing occurred. I would bet that Timothy McVeigh is still alive today with a whole new face and ID and working for the CIA.
God is always good!
agreed.
Or indeed anything which requires any more thought than to keep breathing.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I think that would be pretty good too. Things were better in America in the 50's than they are now, that's for sure.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I'm thinking that this new movie, with one Mexican idiot with a machete and Jessica Alba screeching that stupidity about how they didn't cross the border but the border crossed them will help their cause tremendously. After seeing the trailer I am sure you would like to adopt at least five of the little chupacabras, no?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. lol......straight from "el machete" the Revolutionary Rag. The only salient commentary I could find was the quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
I am amused. NOT teaching a foreign culture, and the politics of resentment is somehow racist in this moron's "mind". Preserving American culture is not racist and rejecting curriculums designed to promote a culture inimical to our existing common culture is not racist. It is no different than taking a pair of tweezers and removing a splinter. It is an irritation and a source of infection. The intelligent thing to do is to remove the divisive splinter. This is not to say that people need divorce themselves completely from the traditions of their ancestors, but that when those traditions, and views, come in conflict with the culture shared by all they can be rightfully rejected. Many of the so-called hispanic advocacy groups are specifically in the business sowing division and are only agitators at best. They use the existence of illegals to promote their socialist/communist political agenda which is of benefit to neither the illegals nor the people who are here lawfully. The question of equality before the law and enforcement of OUR standards and OUR LAWS is not racist. It is simply common sense and is fairer and more just than anyone can expect in that corrupt hellhole known as Mexico. A culture is a fragile thing and the entire point of promoting the "rights" of those here contrary to our laws is to drive a wedge in between different groups and splintering the culture. To create a "Tower of Babel" effect with language and culture separating people into more easily dominated, and smaller, groups. "All the better to enslave you with my dear." A common culture provides social cohesion. It promotes the propagation of standards and principles held by the majority of members within the given culture. This is not an argument that any particular culture is superior (although I do support and promote the cultural ideal of individual liberty) it is an argument that the introduction of a large mass of members of a foreign culture destabilizes a society fragmenting it and creating a socially chaotic environment. If you want to live in Mexican culture then move to Mexico. If you want to live in the United States you had better be prepared to grasp and operate within AMERICAN culture.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
I think that is a safe assumption. More likely his thinking is patterned in the Hegelian Dialectic and the Dialectical Materialism of Marx and Engels.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
agreed. This clown acts as though the fact of successfully flouting and defying our immigration laws somehow makes ILLEGAL actions legal. What he reveals in that assumption is that when he calls others racist it is the pot calling the kettle black. The underlying premise, unstated, is that the more Mexicans the better, that anyone who objects to the law breaking is racist for being in favor of maintaining the integrity of our laws, and that their "right" to break our laws is not to be challenged.

One need look no further than Japan to see the truth of that statement. They have a relatively homogeneous culture and it is very hard for foreigners to be accepted there (to live I mean, not necessarily to visit and spend money).
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Very good post.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. we should publish the proper DNA for americans, then test everybody, then shoot the ones that dont measure up.

too goddamned bad that so many americans have indian, black and mexican blood... but nevermind... it's another eggs and omelettes situation that distracts knuckledraggers from the real problems.
One need look no further than Japan to see the truth of that statement. They have a relatively homogeneous culture and it is very hard for foreigners to be accepted there (to live I mean, not necessarily to visit and spend money). Having actualy lived in Japan for a number of years I can attest to that. It is the only place I have been overtly placed at the receiving end of racial discrimination. Nevertheless I love Nippon. It is a beautiful country and a very civilized and sophisticated culture. However, it is not MY culture and I was tickled pink when I returned home to the U.S..
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
I can attest to that it's pretty obvious that we're gonna have to exterminate everybody that doesnt measure up to american standards of racial purity.
I think your scalp would look lovely hanging from my Lodge Pole. (Historical Note: The practice of scalping was begun by Europeans as a means of collecting bounties for dead Indians.) Oh, and the historical reality - many Indians, whether they choose to admit it or not, ARE white, and their ancestors prior to European Settlement were white. (I had a good friend growing up who was Full Blood Warm Springs Indian - if you had put him in a Roman Centurion's apparel he would have looked perfectly in place - complete with noble Roman Nose. The Mandan Tribe when first contacted by settlers had natural redheads. Roman and Phoenician Coins have been found as far west as Kansas. Kennewick Man was WHITE. Of course, as usual, you parade your ignorance and stupidity as though they were virtues. And of course so-caled "whites" are themselves a genetic hodge podge of differenting sub-groups and cultures. Their pale skin can only be attributed to the climate zone in which their ancestors lived for many thousands of years and is an adaptation allowing them to generate more vitamin D. The Mandingos were a group of European Featured dark skinned peoples. Their adaptation was the opposite because their ancestors had lived for many thousands of years in the hot belt climate of the equatorian region. Their dark skin was an adaptation to prevent the over production of Vitamin D and to better deal with the climate zone they inhabited. Racialists such as yourself inevitably prove one thing quite aptly - the invincible ignorance of the defective.

Oh, you lived there? I have a friend there now, actually one of my wife's best friends. The friend is actually a Brasileira (Brazilian girl) but her parents are Japanese. And your post reminded me of something funny TLBSHOW posted a long time ago on FR. Something about Ann Coulter and how she would "a test to the crowd." LOL! The Toddler came up with some good ones, some intentionally, many not (imo).
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. it's pretty obvious to me that we have been in some measure successful in assimilating many peoples of many races and backgrounds in this land of ours. we're talking about cultural assimilation here - not racial elimination. it is you, old man, who are bringing race into this. if you wonder why nobody replies to your posts here, it is because of your endless abuse of argument, your straw men and your red herrings.
I see psyops everywhere.
In his (her?) case, they are only parading that which they have in abundance.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. more noise that's supposed to pass for... what? wisdom? didnt you just say homogeneous culture was a good thing? how you gonna achieve that without exterminating unhomogenous people who dont measure up to your standards?
Yes. I have stumbled home loaded with Sake probably nearly as often as Whiskey. I like both - however Sake hangovers are not to be envied. ;-) I also deveolped a taste for Sushi and Sashimi long before it became "chic" among the yuppie 'tards over here. Japan is an interesting cultural study. If you want to understand the Japanese mindset read James Clavell's "Shogun" and should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the Japanese and their culture. He, of all the western authors I've read, got it the most correct. I still miss Japanese TV - I lovvvvvvvved the Samurai Shows.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
No. As usual you miss any nuance more refined than a blunt object. I said "common" culture. You might begin by looking up the word "common" - one of its definitions is "shared by all". It does not mean some homogeneous pallid paste lacking in individuality or elements of borrowed culture. We have a culture which includes Fajitas, Pizza, Smoked Salmon, Fish and Chips, and Escargot. Music that varies from the Symphony to "The Blues". These are all elements of our rich and diverse culture. However, each borrowed element wherever its origin is part of our shared common ground. I don't think they made Pizza in sub-Saharan Africa, just as Poi and Breadfruit are not a part of "French Cuisine". I know such discrimination is lost on you, but at least it might give you something to think about. You do think - right?
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
so original intent believes in japanese homogeneous culture, but he has no idea how to achieve homogeneous culture in america. he tolerates japanese racial discrimination against his honorable self, and embraces odd japanese customs like eating raw fish... why is that? does original intent believe that japanese are superior to caucasians?
Depends on the caucasian. Take yourself for example.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
maybe you could post a ranking of racial cultures, so we'd have an idea of who we're supposed to bow down to, and who we can shit on.
It is you who is playing the superiority game not I. I value all people's, but I also understand the difference between race and culture. The two are not an identity. I know that might be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but ask your mommy to help. Toodles.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
would you like to explain how you're gonna achieve harmony in america without exterminating spics, niggers and jews?
it just could be that we'd be better off trying to promote tolerance instead of race wars, dont you think? or do you think you're gonna ultimately be on the winning side?
the big problem seems to be this: whites are starting to realize that they're gonna be the losers in the long run. they've built this civilization that depends on fucking the planet and their fellow man... but the substance that's enabled this performance is running out. white culture has been dictated by the most rapacious of the white race, and that culture will fail without massive subsidies of energy, and that energy is running out. those most rapacious are now looting what's left of white civilization, which, in human, terms, was not worth saving in the first place.
I have tried sake before but didn't really care for it. Guess it is an acquired taste.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Earth to Gruntresonance!! Earth to gruntresonance!! Do you read me gruntresonance? Do you read me? Culture and Race are not the same thing. There is this new fangled thingie called a D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y. LOOK THEM UP. You might find it illuminating. Just in case you can't use a dictionary: 1. A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.

CULTURE n.
1.
a. The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
b. These patterns, traits, and products considered as the expression of a particular period, class, community, or population: Edwardian culture; Japanese culture; the culture of poverty.
c. These patterns, traits, and products considered with respect to a particular category, such as a field, subject, or mode of expression: religious culture in the Middle Ages; musical culture; oral culture.
d. The predominating attitudes and behavior that characterize the functioning of a group or organization.
2. Intellectual and artistic activity and the works produced by it.
3.
a. Development of the intellect through training or education.
b. Enlightenment resulting from such training or education.
4. A high degree of taste and refinement formed by aesthetic and intellectual training.
5. Special training and development: voice culture for singers and actors. 6. The cultivation of soil; tillage.
7. The breeding of animals or growing of plants, especially to produce improved stock.
8. Biology
a. The growing of microorganisms, tissue cells, or other living matter in a specially prepared nutrient medium.
b. Such a growth or colony, as of bacteria.
tr.v. cul·tured, cul·tur·ing, cul·tures
1. To cultivate. 2.
a. To grow (microorganisms or other living matter) in a specially prepared nutrient medium.
b. To use (a substance) as a medium for culture: culture milk.
[Middle English, cultivation, from Old French, from Latin cultra, from cultus, past participle of colere; see cultivate.]
RACE n:
2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.
3. A genealogical line; a lineage.
4. Humans considered as a group.
5. Biology
a. An interbreeding, usually geographically isolated population of organisms differing from other populations of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits. A race that has been given formal taxonomic recognition is known as a subspecies.
b. A breed or strain, as of domestic animals.
6. A distinguishing or characteristic quality, such as the flavor of a wine.
[French, from Old French, from Old Italian razza, race, lineage.]
Usage Note: The notion of race is nearly as problematic from a scientific point of view as it is from a social one. European physical anthropologists of the 17th and 18th centuries proposed various systems of racial classifications based on such observable characteristics as skin color, hair type, body proportions, and skull measurements, essentially codifying the perceived differences among broad geographic populations of humans. The traditional terms for these populationsCaucasoid (or Caucasian), Mongoloid, Negroid, and in some systems Australoidare now controversial in both technical and nontechnical usage, and in some cases they may well be considered offensive.
(Caucasian does retain a certain currency in American English, but it is used almost exclusively to mean "white" or "European" rather than "belonging to the Caucasian race," a group that includes a variety of peoples generally categorized as nonwhite.) The biological aspect of race is described today not in observable physical features but rather in such genetic characteristics as blood groups and metabolic processes, and the groupings indicated by these factors seldom coincide very neatly with those put forward by earlier physical anthropologists. Citing this and other pointssuch as the fact that a person who is considered black in one society might be nonblack in anothermany cultural anthropologists now consider race to be more a social or mental construct than an objective biological fact.
