On election night in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a blue state, comes a criminal horror story short of murder, but no less disturbing. It happened at Augsburg college, a private liberal arts school named after a place in Germany the reformer monk Martin Luther served in the 1500s.
After taunting 18-year old freshman Annie Grossmann for wearing her McCain-Palin campaign button at an election night get-together, and "getting in her face," four women beat her for political views which, obviously, they did not share. Grossmann took verbal abuse at the party, then left for her dorm after it was clear, about 10 p.m., that her candidates had lost. She was followed by the four women into the shadows of a nearby skyway.
There she was beaten. The four women, all black, called Grossmann a "racist." She knew none of them. Nor did they know her, to her knowledge. It was that damn campaign button that evidently caused their frenzy. Their earlier taunts proved that. They were, Grossmann said, "rubbing her face in Obama's win."
"Why do you call me a racist when you don't even know me?" she screamed. Made no difference. Grossmann was felled by the largest of the four. She hit her head on the brick wall, and staggered back to her dorm. The other three black women at the beating chucked at this dark manifestation of partisan evil. They walked away laughing, offering no help to their victim. The banality of evil had asserted itself. And at four-to-one, it was also a cowardly act of mindless violence which, presumably, the four thought "normal."

Any ideas what the difference is between America and the "countries" that produce the murderous behavior underlying the phrase "Zulu-like behavior."
More to the point, the difference between North Americans and Africans?
I have been trying to think of just one never-changing, ironclad difference that would mean we would never experience machete wielding mobs, or the like. So far, I have drawn a blank.
These four young women should know that they’re outnumbered, four to fifty seven million who voted against Obama.
When the next civil war is officially over there will be more of “them” in mass graves than us.
Same at my school. Whites were not allowed to use the restrooms, for instance; not allowed to try out for cheerleader, not allowed to do anything the blacks decided they shouldn't be allowed to do. Even the teachers and the principal were petrified of the blacks. I remember them pleading with white kids, "Please, please...do whatever they say!" Riots, or the threat of riots, ensured that black students always got their way and that white kids walked on eggshells.
“You mistake Zulu for savages.”

I happen to be reading “Washing of the Spears” right now, an exhaustive account of the Zulu nation in the 19th century. Indiscriminate, random, widescale killing and executions of men, women and children were commonplace, particular under the revered, but psychotic leader Shaka, under whom the Zulus rose to their zenith.
Yes, compared to some of the more primitive tribes, the Hottentots and the nomadic Bushmen, for example, the Zulu were a more organized and formidable military force. However, compared to even rudimentary standards of Western civilization they were indeed savages.
Does anyone else see what I believe I see happening in our very near future? I see way too many valid comparisons between Obama's as of yet non-specific plans for a paramilitary police force and the brainwashed Germans youth who idolized Hitler during and after his rise to power. The Hitler Youth organization supplied most of the SS troops who brutally ravaged most of Europe during Hitler's reign of terror, and that is much too close for comfort to Obama's promise of an American internal paramilitary force. Whenever I see TV coverage of Obama's fanatical followers practically worshipping him at his campaign rallies I am very much disturbed by the similarity of those scenes to the old black and white newsreel scenes of Hitler being worshipped by his fanatical Nazi Youth organization at the Nuremberg mass rallies that he held during his heydey.
One major difference in Obama's planned paramilitary force and the Hitler Youth is that very, very few of Hitler's youthful followers were members of the "inferior" races that he wanted to exterminate, while a large majority of Obama's fanatical followers are of the same race that he apparently intends to subjugate by force of arms if necessary.

Here’s a few:
1) Belief in, and humility before God.
2) Rule of Law
3) Property rights.
4) A preponderance of the intact, heterosexual nuclear family unit.
Therein lies the fuel that drives Western Civilization.
“Sometime soon we will begin fighting back, and it will be with a vengeance.”
Count on it.
“The polarisation of society has become so stark that civil war is now unavoidable.”
Sadly, you are correct.
Well, I’ll be clearly throwing in with the old Confederacy, the new red-state south, this time.
Eyeguy, I understand what you are saying. But what guarantees that the items you list will endure? Our constitution? That depends on you and I and 52,000,000 others who will put our lives on the line to defend it. The people in those countries are indestinguishable from “us.” Parts are interchangeable. Raise a Western child there, and he will think like them. Raise a third world child here, and he will think like us.
What I am suggesting is not that there are not valid ideals and institutions in place that have made the West great, but how fragile those ideals and institutions really are.
If you don’t thinks so, just look around your country today. Just scan the headlines here on FR.
1) Belief in, and humility before God.-Not so much anymore.
2) Rule of Law-Not so much anymore.
3) Property rights.-Gone with Kelo.
4) A preponderance of the intact, heterosexual nuclear family unit.-Not since the mid 1970’s.
We’re screwed.

Not a damn thing.
We are steadily marching toward a coarsened, less free, more primitive culture daily.
I just thought you wanted a list of essential predisposing conditions for civilized culture. I’m with you on their fragility and the elegiac reality that their predominance and primacy in our society, is diminishing rapidly.
If we have a black President...why do we need affirmative action in work or colleges?
As far as I know, there’s been no arrests in this case.
What a moron. Too bad you weren’t wearing something with a NASCAR logo too...
His head would have exploded.

Not totally screwed, just yet.
But, alas the screw has been turned more than a few threads into the nut, already......
