Everyone. Everyone who has to live in fear, which everyone now does. Whether you're afraid that someone's gonna jump you or that you will be denied opportunities or that you will be stopped by the police and questioned for walking down your block, everyone is afraid and no one is better off for it. I'm not going to repe
even by the least stringent standard, there's no basis for suggesting anything more than a possibility. i particularly love this: The skulls from Baja California, which may date back only a few hundred years, have slender-looking faces that are different from the broad-cheeked craniums of modern Amerindians, the descendan
obvious to whom? my remark may have been sarcastic but not invalid or undeserved. strip the article down to its core (i'd advise tossing out at least a half-dozen usages of the word 'paradigm' first please)and you pretty much have what i suggested: a thinly disguised attempted assertion that racism isn't actually racism--but on the offchance it is, it's justified and besid
And they solved the problem of someone already living in that home rather ingeniously, didn't they... Ingeniously? Supposing there is a such thing as a race being divinely accorded an entire continent by birthright, Europeans were hardly ingenious. Europeans did what people the world over had been doi
My point is that stereotypes are harmful, and that they need to stop. Whats yours? Harmful to whom? What about the well-being of some woman whose purse was NOT stolen because she clutched it close to her as a hispanic man dressed as a thug approached? Or the motorist who wasn't carjacked or killed bec
An excerpt concerning stereotypes from Dinesh D'Souza's Myth of the Racist Cabbie On one point the liberal paradigm about group generalizations is sound: people's perceptions of others are always filtered through the lens of their own
Phil, I completely agree with you. We whities remain much more scared of blacks, than vice versa. I really believe that racism is the white man's construct. We broke it (humanity). Somehow, we have to fix it. But, it will r
Well, Eastern Diamondback, after sorting through all of the s Definitions of a Necon, have you found one that seems logical/reasonable? I was already aware of what the technical definition of a neo-conservative was. I just hear it thrown around so much, but rarely ever defined. People use it to
I'm not clad in colors, I'm clad in a brand. That shouldn't carry connotations. So brand name is an appropriate form of expression, and shouldn't draw any judgment, but the same can't be said of the colors one chooses to wear.
A neo-con is a Conservative that a Liberal doesn't agree with. Calling someone a nazi wasn't working out, and they didn't have "pinko commie" to fall back on like we do. (yes, I know it has "meaning", but come on, since when has meaning ever mattered to people who use words as weapons?) That's wh
If you see me walking through there wearing that, feel free to think what you want. Well, I wouldn't be there. But the point is some people there very likely will think something of you, and about who you associate with, a judgment about who or what you are based on how you express yourself. It wouldn'
Yes they do, it is called the AEI. Read my post above. I wasn't aware that AEI was universally neo-conservative, although I think it's pretty obvious many in it were.
Even then, I don't think I should be penalized for wearing something that a so-called "thug" might also happen to wear. I mean, to be perfectly honest, Sean John makes some nice clothes. I like them. It's not my fault that "thugs" do too. Honestly, that's too just too bad then. That's the risk you take
I wrote an article about this in January (click here for link) . Hey Gideon, how did you get a wikipedia entry ?
Leave it to the uninformed to say my answer has no answer. If you could read it again you'd see what a neocon is. They don't have a neocon badge on their vests or signs on their office doors. Hence your ignorance about them. Neocons have great connections to Israel and Israels' foreign policy. So while I know this elementary info
Neo-conservative, as defined in Pat Buchanon's "Where the Right Went Wrong", is one who believes in the Wilsonian idea of spreading democracy through developing world countries, but they believe in doing so by invading them. Neocons many, many decades ago were liberals. During the Cold War they were strong advocates of eli
It's inconceivable that in a supposedly educated society like America 2005 there could be someone of reading age who does not know about the so-called neocon involvement in American politics. The real definition of a neocon is not appealing, hence the common American's lack of knowledge about them and their influence in your gove
Heh heh. While I think this is a good question to ask for the sake of political discussion, I must admit that I did forsee this as a potential points-whoring article.
If you look at it as one war, and not 2, the French did not win, and thus their record is intact. 0 for everything! True, but it's kind of hard to overlook the fact they installed an emperor of their choosing on Mexico. If I were a Mexican, I'd be hard pressed to spin that into anything but a loss. I
From what I gather it is anyone who isn't a liberal, who is in a discussion with a liberal, and the liberal can no longer make his points stick. Of course, anyone who isn't a conservative, who is in a discussion with a conservative, and the convervative can no longer make his points stick, would be "anti American" or a "bl
Fire away!
Over the weekend I brought the family back home to Chicago for Mother's Day. My aunt (mom's sister), her husband, and my cousins dropped by my parents' house for the barbeque. While eating, one of my cousins let his opinion be known about "Neocons." Last year my friend, his wife, and I were talking and somehow Pat Buchanan's book The Death of the West<
Well, a good many of the soldiers in the Soviet Army weren't communists at all, just simple peasants who had to fight. The Germans often went through the Soviet POWs and killed the and Communists (Jews too) among them, and they weren't in the majority. But Bahu, I'm afraid you need to qualify your statements with something. What are you referring to? I like to think of the Soviet military effort in WWII as very much like Homer Simps
Sorry ED but the key word here is later. And just an FYI....winning a "battle" is NOT winning the war. They won their battle and choose to celebrate it. I look at it as the perfect opportunity for some really good Mexican food and a lot of alcohol. DrMiler, when are reinforcements supposed to be sent? Before? I specifically said the Mexicans d
You guys played Cowboys and Indians in Scotland? I would never have guessed.
