Correct the statement was about gentrification and while there is a racial component to that issue, it's interesting that "lawenforcement(Not Russia)today.com" should phrase it as telling "white people" to go back as opposed to new arrivals.

I mean, there is totally a racial component to the issue of gentrification but then a lot of that has to do with the extent which economic and racial lines parallel one another.

I don't understand how any of those are interesting points. "read these vapid propaganda talking points"

Nor do they sound like they were written by the comedian Tim Allen: which they weren't.

Heh, while reading the Snopes article it occurred to me that if the list had been attributed to Ted Nugent I would have believed it.  (Despite only one mention of gun confiscation, and nothing about flaming arrows.)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Joe Rogan is the radio talk guy that recently endorsed Bernie.  There was a long rambling discussion about him in the election thread.

I mean somebody has to make these things accessible to the other barbarian khans.

They had no choice except to vote like shitheads.  They really didn't want to, but Nancy left them no choice but to vote like a shithead.  So you need to vote for them and reward them for taking the brave choice to vote like a shithead.

I've kinda given up on that as well.  At first I thought people didn't know that facts provided in "Memes" were inaccurate.  I came to the conclusion that they simply don't care.  A comforting lie is worth more than a difficult truth.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
