    What mask? It has always been my contention that White supremacists tend to be inferior Whites. White trash, for want of a better word. The bottom of the barrel kind of people. Bottom feeders.

    I think that slavery and the Confederacy and all that it stands for is the worse stain on our country’s character. Would you not know it, front and center as the Trumpian mob attracted the Capital in a failed attempt to turn the US into a dictatorship, were conservatives carrying Confederate flags. The flag of our defeated enemy.

    Who would desire statues of those men who waged war against our country? Or wave their flag? How unAmerican can one get.

    I thought the 'born again' thing went out in the 80's.

    As a Christian, I would still vote for a satanist over a saint if the satanist were the one promoting individualism, civic nationalism, constitutional limits on mob rule and self-determined prosperity. Why folks think POTUS has to also be some sort of moral role model (especially when none of them have been for decades) is beyond me. We're not looking for someone to emulate... certainly not a mere human, anyway.

    Thanks. I think there is far too much hyperbole in politics. I try to tone it down a little.

    Most of those would do it if they were true.

    Do they say things like you said?

    "I'm a person of Swedish descent with blonde hair and blue eyes. You can't get much Whiter than me. It is so funny when conservatives keep accusing me of being anti-White. Of course anyone who has read my posts concerning the genetic makeup of the population would know that I whole heartedly believe that the White people of the North are the result of an evolutionary jump, which is why first the Vikings, and then the English were able to dominate the world."

    I grew up in a conservative Christian family. Technically we were Catholic as my siblings and I attended a Catholic school. My family went to church weekly, sometimes more. Mostly we went to a Catholic church but every so often we would attend a service at a Baptist church. After awhile I began to notice a characteristic of Baptist services. There is always a point where the preacher lists all the groups who are going to hell because they don’t believe the same as the Baptists. According to the Baptists, all the Lutherans, Catholics, Jews, atheists, homosexuals, liberals, Muslims... are all going to hell.

    Where have I said that it is okay to enslave others and treat them as second class citizens? As Confederates have done.

    One of the beauties of the rise of the people of the North was the tradition to question our condition and to seek out ways to improve those conditions. Whereas the rest of the world was content to be ruled over by chieftains and kings, it was the people of the North who decided that leaders needed to be held accountable. The idea that those who ruled, did so at the pleasure of the ruled, and not the other way around. That the people be judged for their transgressions by a jury of their peers, rather than by an autocrat. That Santa Claus bring children toys once a year in the middle of winter.

    The people of the North have made the world a better place, and the more their ideas spread and take hold, the better the world becomes. Look at Africa, it is still a backwards and chaotic place, but with each conflict seems to come more and more reforms, little by little towards the liberal ideal, as the wisdom of liberalism becomes more and more apparent.

    One of the defining differences between a conservative leader and a liberal leader, is that the conservative leader will ask himself, what is best for me and my demographic. Whereas the liberal leader will ask himself, what is better for everyone. What is the greatest good for the greatest numbers. It is one of those characteristics borne out of the evolutionary jump, and the reconfiguration of the brain structure. Causing liberal brained individuals to have significantly more empathy for others.

    By the way, were you aware that China’s rise as an economic power was the result of China adopting a more Norwegian style economy. They sent envoys to Norway to study their economic system and then applied it to the Chinese system. Does not Norway have one of the highest GDP’s per capita in the world as well as being rated as one of the happiest?

    It should be noted that DNA studies have revealed a few interesting patterns. Like that there is a mostly north south line that racially divides the British Islands. On the east, which is mostly just England, the people are mostly genetically the same as the people of Denmark, the people of the North. Whereas the people to the west, the Scots, the Welch, the Irish, are Gaelic or Celtic, however you want to define them and have ancient roots from what is now Spain and France.

    Turns out that a greater number of the Scots/Irish/Welch migrants migrated to the Southern Colonies, whereas a greater number of English migrants settled in the North.

    What trip Oliver, yes we know...liberals are superior beings. Liberal supremacy.
    Believing the "white people of the North are a result of an evolutionary leap" is something a white supremacist might espouse. No matter how you slice it.

    Yep, that's my experience too. It's one of the things that makes evangelicals stand out.

    And a fetus is not a human being according to the legal definition of "human being". And in addition a fetus is no more a person, a human, or sentient than your appendix. What it "will be" in the future is not the issue "today" and in fact it has nothing to do with reality.

    Easy. Your characterization of vile, immoral, and corrupt is entirely a figment of your imagination.

    Well, I can buy into that or believe my lying eyes. Hmmm, tough choice, but I think I'm going with the evidence of my own eyes.
