“Look, liberalism has a kind of Tourette’s syndrome these days. It’s just constantly saying the word ‘racism’ and ‘racist.’

There’s a kind of intellectual poverty now. Liberalism hasn't had a new idea since the 1960s except ObamaCare and the country doesn't like it. So what do you do? You say anyone criticizes us is a racist.

It's become a joke among young people. You go to a campus where this kind of political correctness reigns and some young person will say looks like it's going to rain. The person looks and says, you're a racist. I mean it's so inappropriate. The constant implication of this is that I think it is becoming a national mirth.

If you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. If you have neither, pound the table. This is pounding the table."

The hypocritical libs have overplayed the racism card to the extent the word is losing its stigma. La Raza means The Race, yet the group gets a pass. In fact, they've done quite well advancing their agenda with it. It's just a matter of time before a similar strategic umbrella opens up for the 68% of the population under seige. Backlash.

I would like to think that white people are going to get fed up with being the victims of the radical left, but it isn’t going to happen. White people have bought into the white guilt paradigm hook, line and sinker. We did, after all, bring the world Christendom and Western civilization, the most highly developed and liberating culture the world has ever seen, and the rest of the world hates us for it.

Will has been arguing with the same ad hominem tactics that he allegedly laments quite regularly of late.

About time he was right about something, we're a 7th of the way through the century.

I wish George Will would speak plain English.

George Will's totally rejecting the race card. That makes it official: the black pity party - the whole white guilt-trip thing - is over.

The American people will just take so much until they realize their backs are up against the wall. Then the instinct for survival takes over. Rage is seething under the skin of most Americans whose country is being hijacked by a relatively small group. The anger is there, and Team Obama keeps refueling it. At some point, no dam will be able to resist the weight of the rising water against it.

Liberals will continue to use the race card until they're absolutely sure it doesn't carry much purchase anymore. Obviously, they still think it does.

I was talking to one of my younger lib bros last week, and he believes the racist paradigm. He really believes many more people would have voted for Obama if he were white. Liberals are immune to facts.

As Mike Savage says, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.” Electroshock therapy used to be prescribed for mental illness. Liberals are in for a shock if they think this current paradigm that feeds them so well has any sustainability.

I keep urging people to learn how to spell "Ceaușescu."

Tourette’s Syndrome or Pavlovian reflex?

The one good thing about the race card is when it is played against you, you know you have won the argument.
