Give them an inch, what will they take?

Post by _ajax18 »

With the confirmation of Justice Soto-Mayor one may wonder if the founding fathers ever dreamed of the new standard being set. Empowered by the election of President Obama, liberals now unapologetically admit that it's ok to be racist as long as you're not white. In the words of Spike Lee, "When we get in power, we can do what the hell we want to do." Brother Spike is right on the money with this one. I doubt many white people thought that giving up slavery would lead to essentially becoming the slave. But just as water grinds down the toughest rocks, all it really takes is a few drops and then there just isn't a mountain high enough to hold it back. You see white america, you don't have a voice anymore. Your opinion simply doesn't count. Nor will it be given a platform. Nor will you survive. The time for debating on whether to give an inch or a foot is over. Your earnings, your time, your culture, is no longer yours to give. It's theirs to take.

So who will inherit America? Will it be the Latinos, the blacks, or will China swoop in clean house? And how will these traditionally machista cultures adjust to being controlled by women? Will these men bend over and be taken advantage of as white men seem hellbent on doing? Will masculinity continue to be villified? I doubt it, not with the new regime and culture that is sweeping the land. Interstingly our nonwhite brethren just aren't that stupid. So the world could potentially once again be good for boys as well as girls. But the white race is over and with it goes their culture and specific talents. Probably a loss that the reconquistadores couldn't understand, but a nonissue from any perspective.

Ajax: What will you do if you win the $25 million for Osama bin Ladens capture?
Billy: I'll probably purchase a small country?
Ajax: Which one would that be?
Billy: Cuba of course.
Ajax: Why?
Billy: I'm going to make money off of it.
Ajax: Off a Latin American country?
Billy: Yes, I'm going to make the U.S. government pay me, to keep my people in my own country. I'll send them out with flags to place along your Virginia coast to claim as Cuba del norte. Then I'll tell them to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.

Ajax: Billy, you're a white man, just like I'm a white man. And being the new minority in this country, we ought to have taken care of one another... But Billy, you're a Goddam, lying, no good, backstabbin, son of Bitch!
Billy: It's how I get my power friend. You don't think I really care about these vermin do you? You keep trying to find ways to get rid of them. You'll never get away from them. Learn how to use them.
Ajax: I just want to be left alone and to protect my land.
Billy: It's not your choice. Nor is it any longer you're land. You live in Cuba del norte, not Virginia.

Good post ajax. You'll notice that the opposition has nothing but invective. They know you're right, but can't stand the thought of it. Liberalism is one of the paths to antiMormonism.

Incredible. ajax18 posts neo-Nazi hogwash, and a TBM rushes to his defense.

bcspace, do you understand the significance of ajax18's reference to Valhalla? I really, really hope not.

Hi Ajax,

The world isn't stagnant.

Wealthy and powerful countries come and go, they rise and they fall; society changes, humankind changes, life changes. Species emerge and disappear. Mountains are formed and oceans evaporate.

It happens.

So yeah, we can expect change in the future.

There is no question that in another million years there will be no "races".

Most likely China will become a prominent world leader in another hundred years; India will make a move on the world stage. New Countries will come and others will disappear.

In another century or two, women in many areas of the world will be considered equal with men. Yes, it is a big change and many men may not look forward to this, still it will happen.

White wealthy men may not have the exclusive voice as the marginalized have rights; is this a bad thing?

Think back over the last six thousand years of human history and ponder all the changes, so why would we not expect many more to come; even faster and more dramatic?

What is the fear?

Hello,

Here are the current Members of the U.S. Supreme Court, along with their Political leanings:

Chief Justice:

John Roberts - Conservative

Associate Justices:

Samuel Alito - Conservative

Stephen Breyer - Liberal

Ruth Bader Ginsburg - Liberal

Anthony Kennedy - Moderate

Antonin Scalia - Conservative

David Hackett Souter - Liberal

John Paul Stevens - Liberal

Clarence Thomas - Conservative


There are currently Four Conservatives, four Liberals, and one Moderate on the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama’s choice to replace Justice David Souter, has very, very similar Political views than Justice David Souter. Both Justice David Souter and Justice Sonia Sotomayor have Political Liberal Leanings. It looks very likely that Justice Sonia Sotomayor will be replacing Justice David Souter on the U.S Supreme Court. Once Justice Sonia Sotomayor Replaces Justice David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court, There will currently be currently four Conservatives, four Liberals, and one Moderate on the U.S. Supreme Court. It will be basically and virtually exactly the same Political make up, as we have on the U.S. Supreme Court right now. The Republican Leaders in the Senate, will do well, if they do Not try to block Justice Sonia Sotomayor from the U.S. Supreme Court. There have so far, in our U.S. History. only been two Women who have served on the U.S. Supreme Court. The Women within this Country comprise about 51% of the total Population, here within the United States. I think and I believe that the time has come for a third Woman to be serving as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. And, I am Not even a Liberal.

Gaz you better hope that pot is also a pressure cooker. Even pots as big as North America have no more land to serve as immediate capital.

I guess I'm a strange apostate in that regard. Do you want to try a bottle of wine? Sure! Do you want wake up to some coffee? Yeah! Do you want to become a democrat? NEVER, unless it includes a way that I could either cause there to be less democrats or a way to seal them off from a society that likes a consistent fair set of rules so I don't have to live with them anymore.
