		<description><![CDATA[Jason Smith is one of those people to whom &quot;they all look alike&quot;.

Besides the above-mentioned groups, I can add the Manchu and the Flowered and Black Miao. China surely engaged in conquest, but she grew most of all by assimilating to herself invaders and immigrants alike.  Though I cannot at this moment lay hands on my copy of Lao-Tze, I recall his comparing China to a river which, lying low in its valley, gathers all the tributaries to itself and thus grows great. Even the present-day Han are of many ancestries, if one traces back.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“I have done my best not to offend anyone …”

Is this pure dishonesty or an admission of utter incompetence?

“It is my strongest personal belief that this is not just a political battle, but a spiritual war between good and evil, between those who are defending their homes and trying to conserve what is good about America Vs. aggressive invaders who have overthrown our Republic and taken control of the Executive Branch to further their goals. If my spiritual beliefs offend anyone, then I have no regrets.”

I’m having a little trouble finding the “spiritual” part here: he uses the word “spiritual,” but everything that follows still sounds political. Re-labeling political goals as religious (or vice versa) isn’t a new tactic, of course, but it’s still intellectually dishonest.

And can we please have a ban on selling things as the “moral equivalent of war” (MEOW)?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Ruslan pointed out, China has several groups that appear the same to us, but are not. They also have &quot;illegal Immigrants&quot; that do unspeakably hard and dangerous jobs. From what I gather they don&#039;t have &quot;Nativists&quot; as such because everbody is working anyway and those jobs are so bad nobody even claims to want them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jason&#039;s attempt to use China as an argument perfectly demonstrates why WNs are called ignorant.  It&#039;s just like how they assume there&#039;s virtually no immigration to &quot;non-white&quot; countries, or that those countries restrict it whereas European countries load up Africans on buses and hand out work visas.  They don&#039;t even bother to look up the immigration and naturalization laws of these nations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nutball Christianity was once used to segregate the races, but has changed. As explained in the Creation Museum, people were originally of one race until the Tower of Babel. After God destroyed it, people spoke different languages. The theory is, similar looking people spoke the same basic language and developed into different races after that. I wasn&#039;t there but believe this more than anything &quot;Science&quot; has come up with. Maybe eventually they will accept David and Johnathan&#039;s relationship and Christ&#039;s non-condemnation of gays.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If conservatives like Gheen truly are (as they invariably insist) on God&#039;s side of every issue, why doesn&#039;t God simply fix it so they win every election?  Then they could enact &quot;God&#039;s&quot; agenda legally.  Why does God insist on letting &quot;his&quot; enemies win so often that his obedient servants, like Gheen, are reduced to making vague threats of violence (a strange position for a self-proclaimed follower of the Prince of Peace to take)?]]></description>

http://www.boston.com/bigpictu.....years.html

There is no diversity in the crowd. There are no Blacks. No Latinos. No Pakistanis.&quot;

To your simple, ignorant mind, they are all &quot;Chinese.&quot;  91% of China is ethnically Han.  The rest consists of about 56 or so ethnic groups from Mongols, to Turks, to Russians and Tatars.  National minorities are not subject to the one child limit. They get autonomous rule in many areas both large and small, and they also receive preferential placement for higher education and some jobs(that&#039;s right, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION).  I was in China recently and the people were extremely kind to foreigners everywhere we went.

You need to stop basing arguments on things you clearly know nothing about.]]></description>

<p>*God called them unto South Africa;<br />
*God told them to establish His Earthly Kingdom there;<br />
*In the face of British &#8220;interference&#8221; in the Cape of Good Hope (where the Afrikaners first settled in 1652 under the Dutch East India Company&#8217;s auspices), God told His Chosen Volk to cross the Karoo and resettle in the Highveldt;<br />
*The Bible clearly insists that blacks are an &#8220;inferior&#8221; race as &#8220;needed to be put in their place&#8221; (further reinforcing the call unto <i>Die Voortrek</i> to save the Afrikaner);<br />
*The Laager&#8217;s victory against Dingane&#8217;s forces at Bloeiriver, thanks to Die Vow, was a Holy and Glorious Hour for the Afrikaner; and<br />
*The Martyrs of Slagters Nek, the Boer War concentration camps, Jopie Fourie and Hendrik Verwoerd, died for the sins of the Afrikaner,</p>
<p>among other rather blatantly arrogant bromides one supposedly &#8220;morally superior&#8221; people loves to use in quasi-religious contexts for National Exceptionalist ends.</p>
<p>The parallels could be rather interesting here.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to wonder if that man&#039;s mental state is fast becoming unstable and deteriorating. Everyday, he&#039;s starting to sound like a paranoid ranting loon, where the &quot;Black Helicopters&quot; are out to get him. I would seriously suggest Mr. Gheen sees a shrink, and be placed on medications.

On a disclaimer&#039;s note: I myself am concerned with illegal immigration and the criminal aliens residing here without it&#039;s proper documentation. But President Obama, who is Mr. Gheen&#039;s greatest President of the 21st century--is doing a good job securing the border than any inept Republican before him. That&#039;s why illegal border crossing is down under Obama&#039;s administration, according to stats by the Border Patrol. Mr. Gheen should thank the current Commander in Chief, while dissing the Republican enemy.]]></description>
