Just what is needed for Godless cultures to drift to some form of National Socialism.

“Americans” will not let this affect them? As generalizations: Most blacks are racist and make no bones about it - they have been told they are owed. Same with many Latinos. And I’m seeing a strong resurgence of really ugly racism from young whites that are sick of it - and these are college educated kids.

But...but...but...

What if there is an extra-terrestrial “race” of humanoids that are advanced and superior to us in intellect and thereby philosophical reasoning? What then? Shouldn’t they be afforded discrimminatory advantages to us common earthlings?

And, correspondingly, what of extra-terrestrial amoeba’s? Might they not be more advanced than the common, everyday Dhimmicrat? Shouldn’t they be afforded certain discrimminatory advantages?

More people should read The Bell Curve.

This information only confirms what that book stated.

“quite capable of treating individuals fairly even while acknowledging group differences”

That would describe me.

I’ve observed all by myself - nothing more - over the decades not just physical differences, but other more hidden internal differences.

This doesn’t mean any person should approach any other as one sees the group. At the same time, we should all be allowed to discriminate for any reason we please (despite the homo’s objections); it’s absurd that we cannot discriminate in our work for any reason. Not even allowed to discriminate against proven criminals!

Liberals love groups, but they really don’t care about individuals. Check it out sometime. Hence their disdain for real liberty.

The gays might want to be more wary of using that language. Evolution is not their friend, since they are walking survival disadvantages.

Will the Right please wake up and quit agreeing with MLK and the Left that there's something wrong with discrimination and discrimination is the government's business?

"Discrimination" as defined by Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: "to make a distinction; to use good judgment." Discrimination is FREEDOM TO CHOOSE. It is a God-given, inalienable right. We are free to choose as long as we don't interfere with another's liberty and others have no right to interfere with our choices because they have decided their morality is superior to mine.

Let's start putting freedom and freedom to choose in its rightful and hallowed place. Let's instead kick big government under the bus. Whaddyasay?

I concur with and am somewhat enthused by your post. I think more YTs need to get sick of it. On a lighter note;

"New analyses of the human genome establish that human evolution has been recent, copious and regional,"

Seems to fit with the creation narrative.

“quite capable of treating individuals fairly even while acknowledging group differences”


This highlights one of the differences between liberals and conservatives addresssed in this old phrase:

Liberals love the masses but hate people. Conservatives hate the masses but love people.

Liberals see everyone as a member of some group, be they gay, straight, male, female, poor, rich, etc. Conservatives see each person as an individual, to be sized up and treated as an individual.

Exactly. Alot of nonsense “peace and love” propaganda from losers with tattoos and studs and pierced noses. Yet they really aren’t so nice. Strange, huh?

"...his most vociferous critics don't deny this -- that President Barack Obama, like all recent presidents and serious presidential candidates, is well above average in intelligence..."

Isn't 0 supposed to be half white or Arab or something? Would that make any difference?

Doesn't matter. I'm still standing by my assertion that he's a low grade moron in all 57 states. I don't believe the pot head graduated from high school.

I could be wrong but it's going to take a transcript to get me to believe the phony graduated anything.

I am currently reading the book. It is very informative. It is an expansion and continuation of his previous book, “Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors”. Both books are excellent and well worth reading.
