Those are good points. Just because they're a joke, doesn't mean they couldn't cause some harm down the line. I was thinking that if they stayed long enough and actually read, it might change some of their views. Many of these people have picked up these views from ignorant parents and family members.
Aaaah, you just had to get that little dig in at Buchanan, didn't you? I have to admit that I'm a little worried about what he's been writing lately. I voted for him though!
The Viking Kitties and the mods rarely nap on the job. If someone posts something that is against this site's guidelines, they're gone.
I guess the best analogy of this is by looking at how some splinter churches are started. The pastor comes upon some epiphany, and goes and starts a church based on that particular principle. Now, that is not bad per se, it is just that it takes more to having a church than just one principle (unless that principle is Jesus Christ).
Buchanan (in my humble opinion) started in the same way. With a seed idea ...a core principle ...that made sense. The problem is one cannot have a holistic movement based on just one thing. The same thing can be seen on the liberal side by comparing the Democrats with the Green party folk.
Sorry if it seemed i was ribbing at Buchanan. I find him rather weird (well, quite weird LOL), but the reason i chose him was because he was the best example i could come up with (mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa).
As for the Stormfront kooks ....and converting them to a saner level of thought. I don't know. I am not saying it is impossible, it is just that many of them have been indoctrinated from their youth to think like that. It is like someone coming and trying to make you or me to convert to Islam .....it would take a miracle for me to even consider such a ridiculous thing. Now, I believe that the leaders of such kook groups are not really the same as their believers. I think the leaders belong in them for power (and to some extent money). Hating jews and minorities is just a paycheck and powerbase for them. But the 'rabble' ....the 'average people' in the kook groups. Those are the guys who are indoctrinated.
For example ...grab one and ask them why they hate jews! They would not be able to give a single concrete answer. And if you pushed them for an answer they'd break out with vitriol and start calling you names. Same thing for minorities. An asian man was shot outside a school some years ago, and the shooter couldn't say why he shot the guy apart from the fact the guy was asian. It is a form of mindless evil controlled by their leaders (the leaders are totally lucid).
I just pray the viking kitties dig their claws really deep in their behinds.
