There is a difference…..
We all make mistakes, we are all fallible, we all fall far short of perfection.
Look buddy; I don’t hold hands & sing “Kume By Ah” with a bunch of hippies in some park. My life is far different than some, my opinions as well. People have differing backgrounds & life experiences that makes us vastly INDIVIDUAL, etc. But I’d bet that not all ANYONE (Muslims, Jews, Blacks, Asians) act as a group.* ESPECIALLY Europeans! The last time I was in Europe (how MANY times have you REALLY been to Europe, James?) there was as many different perspectives on life as well as lifestyles as you could imagine.
We can be INDIVIDUALS but yet, retain similarities as human beings.
People are different but we all have similarities that make us human. If you were in the Service, did you ever serve with a Black person? Sleep in the same room, talk to him; work together? We ALL go through the same stuff: Some at different times in their lives, etc. but we all love, fear, envy, laugh, etc…..Damn it, you MUST know that! I really can’t believe that, in your heart – believe that a little 7 yr old Black girl is a monkey. I have a damn hard time thinking that if you saw some kid crying you’d walk away like they were some kind of animal that could “fend for itself”. Are you saying, that’s what kind of man you are?

*If all the Mainland Chinese acted as a group & stamped their left foot on “orders of the race” on Tuesday…..do you know how foolish that sounds?

I’m actually not sure who is the person(s) responsible for allowing posting to the Blog, however I have been critical on several occasions to some of the material published within (or directly to the SPLC) & they let my opinions stand.
It’s obvious they let dissenters (James for instance) post straight-piece WN rhetoric.
Perhaps you goofed when you hit the “COMMENT” button; as I don’t see a great deal of censorship on this Blog.
Perhaps if someone were to post insanity about a
Black man’s genitals of Jews having hooves & horns, they might curb it for the sake of honestly or bad taste. But if you have a perspective that potently describes an issue you believe to be unfair, I’d bet they allow it.
There are a lot of people here who don’t fall off the edge of the Leftist World. The content issue is on of human relations not straight politics, per se’.

The article is no less disingenuous than most lefty propaganda.

Noone I know is against immigration, EVERYONE I know is against ILLEGAL immigration. Note the difference.

The AL is NOT anti-immigrant, they’re anti CRIMINAL.

Illegal immigrants are – by their nature – criminals. The first thing they when they crossed the border is break our laws.

The Caucasian race (thought by idiots like James Hallman to be the “white” race) has many colors within it, located all over the world. Virtually ALL U.S. “Negroes” are mixed with other races; only “pure” Negroes are found among certain African tribes who have stayed to themselves. The Mongolian race (Orientals) has also mixed with the two other races. It is ridiculous to talk about a “white” race. But of course, people like James Hallman, an obvious white supremacist who has never faced reality, ARE ridiculous. As for the American Legion, it really needs to get a grip and quite making a complete ass of itself.

What whites did to the ‘indian’ was nothing more than what tribes,clans, and races, have done since the beginning of mans existence. The only difference being, is that other races haven’t had to contend with the relatively recent concept of cultural marxism that attempts to instill the proverbial guilt-trip on whites for having been more successive at survival and advancing their self-interst ,and who now, according to what is politically correct, are supposed to lay down and allow the rest of the non-white world to walk all over them in the name of some twisted justice. If you think I’m wrong, than you just keep thinking that ,because there are more and more whites who are coming to the same conclusions I’ve come too, and who are growing sick of the double-standard and anti-white discrimination that leads one to believe that the only long term solution is racial separation.

You mean it only tooke a couple of blogs for you to figure that out! You are right, I could care less about non-white immigrants legal or illegal. I would have our future white nation open to all white people of sound mind and body and who have a reasonable understanding of our worldview in order to realize a greater Aryan homeland that would ensure our survival and advancement.

However, from what I have read, the organization has taken no responsibility for the lies and hate that it disseminated. An honorable organization would admit that they were wrong and offer to replace the old booklets, which are still being circulated. An honorable organization would hold someone accountable for what has transpired. An honorable organization would issue an apology. Since none of this has happened, we can surmise that the American Legion is not an honorable organization.

Please enlighten us nativists as to HOW you calculate $7 billion/year paid into FICA/SSI by illegal aliens? It’s just another bald faced lie. And further, please explain how the illegal doesn’t get the full gamut of welfare for the entire family via their anchor babies? I find it truly amazing that they make less than minimum wage, have many, many children, send billions home annually, yet receive NO social services. That’s quite a feat, even for an Hispanic, eh? Yup, cut citizenship for anyone born of illegal parent(s), then NO benefits for non citizens and see how long the invasion continues.

Perhaps it’s time you did some homework James, & actually studied independently instead of believing everything that’s handed to you.
Ellis Island was provided with methods to stop the spread of TD. The Europeans who hopped over here on the Mayflower (and previously) weren’t that lucky & had to contend w/ a Hell of a lot of disease that they rudely gave to the indigenous population.
We are all just PEOPLE James; no one is out to GET YOU as a group or collective entity. Life is too damn short to use it up in hate & fear. When you finally get that, you’ll have some peace.

Did you know that European immigrants brought to the New world all kinds of diseases that killed pure Indians who were NOT polluted by those diseases before? And that in the process they(your distant relaives) stole land from both the Indians and the Mexicans who were here 10,000 years before you were even a sparkle in your European’s ancestor’s eye? If you don’t like the New world, you can always go back to ole Europe, and take a couple of those Legion vets with you. They are a disgrace to our country’s uniform! Oh BTW, Europe is a bi-lingo continent…go use to it, buddy!

They specifically target Hispanics in this respect. They conveniently fail to mention those groups from northern European countries. They might say to you that northern Europeans aren’t coming here in the numbers that those from our southern/southwestern borders, thus they are not flooding our country. They would say that if northern Europeans began taking all our jobs and social services like the Hispanics then they ( the “anti-immigration” patriots) would be up in arms against the influx of Europeans.
Nonsense.
They would do nothing about it. They reason they wouldn’t is that they feel that Americans of Northern European (mainly those from the British Isles) heritage are being overwhelmed by Hispanics and that America needs more people from Europe so Anglo-Saxon types won’t shortly be a minority. Such as in a week, a month, a year or two or whatever.
They are lying to themselves and to us.

It could be said that everyone came from
someplace else at some place and time, but
the fact remains that what we now call the
United States of America was created and
founded by European/Americans who
made up about 90% of the population up until
recently.
Those european immigrants came to make
a better life without the benefit of food stamps,
welfare, and socialized medicine ,and came
wanting to learn English and be Americans
unlike those millions now coming who wish to
take full advantage of the American taxpayer
and who could care less about learning english
or assimilating into our culture for that matter.
Those coming now bring more disease, more
crime, and more poverty at a time when we can
least afford it, taking America jobs and putting
more pressures on an already over burdened
healthcare and education system.
The Legion may have overstated a few facts
but the truth is that non-white immigration
whether legal or illegal is displacing our European/
American majority, changing the very demographics
of our nation threatening our way of life in a far
greater way than foriegn terrorist could ever do to
us as a people and nation.
If we were to allow the entire third worlds populations
to immigrate to the United States of America simply
because they want to have a better life , so we and
our better life would surely disappear.
We have enough people in this country already.
Let’s give our environment a break from the ever
increasing population, polution, and liberal popycock!

When my ancestors came here in the l850′s from what was the Austro-Hungarian empire (now Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics), they came here for a better life. They came to the midwest and eventually settled in Gary, IN and worked in the steel mills. Now their grandchildren live in all areas of this wonderful country. Even the Native Americans may have come from other places. We are all Americans but should be proud of our heritage. Immigrants want the same things. We need to change our immigration laws!!!

As well as playing the role of strike-breakers and hired goons in the name of “Law and Order” during labour disputes through the 1920′s, resorting to The Old Ultraviolence if need be.

And are we forgetting their admiration of Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini?
