Like the original owners were morally superior to my ancestors, another leftist lie. The owners my ancestors conquered this land from, gained the land by conquering it from other Native Americans. The cave where my European ancestors once lived is now infested with gypsies. Aren't they your people Quasimodo?


Well, I did have a pretty big crush on Esmeralda (a very lovey Romani girl), but I'm not Romani, myself.

I'm not making any claims that the indigenous peoples of the Western hemisphere were superior to Europeans. I think I could make a good case that they were (are) superior to you, though.

Maybe you could post a list of all the races and peoples you find objectionable (I'm guessing it's long) so we all know where we stand.

Funny how often bigots throw out the word "lie". Must be something subconscious.

I'm just curious and this isn't a loaded question but rather a legal question. In the current system, who decides who gets food stamps, welfare, medicaid, etc. Is it a particular bureaucret's initial decision and then you're welcome to fight it if you can come up with the money to hire an attorney? I see attorneys advertising to take on such cases. I find it surprising that it's cost effective for attorneys to do so. I know I hear people say here that you usually get denied the first time you ask for food stamps, but if you go back and ask again you're usually approved with no questions asked. That's Louisiana. So many people hear both black and white are the ultimate experts at looking poor on paper.

I once needed surgery pretty bad after my mission. Of course the mission is not college and hence I had no health insurance when I returned. They didn't tell me outright on the phone that I would be denied. I had to go and wait a couple hours at the welfare office. Then I was taken into a room and told, "You're not a woman and you're not pregnant. Those are the only people covered." Thankfully I found a doctor even though I had to drive across the country to find one who would see me without insurance. He took cash and when I got a student loan to cover it, I was whole again. It was worth every penny of it. But it took over a year of being in pain before I could work it out. Did I just not know how to work the system right? Or was the simple truth what I've always initially expected about socialism under nearly any situation, that I didn't qualify.

Granted I was no fan of socialism before this event, but in large way life experiences make us what we are. For many of the American people they won't see the untruth in socialisms promises until they have no power left to do anything about it.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Mainstream Republicans/Most Americans are so Damn Brain Dead they can't even see what they need to fight for.

Successful Musicians/Athletes/Actors(for the most part) have worked their entire life to make it to the pinnacle of American Success, which is what we Americans are fed from the cradle. An independently successful then gets hated for it; That isn't the American Dream. Athletes don't put their hands on their hearts for a reason. Do we Need a Tyler Durdan to tell us to stop buying useless crap which this Economy depends on? Do we need to restart at zero?

Now the Mainstream American(The Fake it Till You Make it American)wants to live in an America which uses a Competitive from of Communism, That's not right!!!

I've met famous people who I've ignored and treated like they were just some random person off the street, I did this without knowing what I was doing and this is something Americans need to work at. People of notoriety don't do this to one another however this type of behavior is now encouraged in the new Competitive Communist Model.

5. practicing reverse racism


The Democratic Party and Progressives have acted immaturely and horribly to White people in this country. To me, a black person bashing the black race is just as disgusting as a white person making racist comments to blacks. Same rule applies to white-on-white racism. MSNBC and other more Left-wing sources slammed the tea parties for being too white, which should never be forgotten.

Promoting some sort of anti-white mentality is dangerous for the future of this nation, as we further slip into a minority. I don't wish to be discriminated against in the future and having it one day become socially acceptable to discriminate against whites.

If you really want to clean up your own country, you might consider moving back to whatever European country your ancestors came from. Leaving this continent to the original owners.


I disagree with this statement to be honest with you. America has always been a European & Western concept since the beginning of European exploration. That's kind of why I detest the term "Native American" so much. It's as silly as calling an indigenous Briton, displaced by the Anglo-Saxon invasions, a "Native Englishman." This doesn't mean I don't want immigration or anything, but we have to admit a true American is a descendant of those British Protestants (usually of English or Ulster descent) who have founded this country, and no other. I don't look at the native american displacement as a tragedy more than the Roman conquest of Germanic & Celtic tribes. There comes a time where land must be conquered by superior cultures and civilizations for the better. After all America has blessed the world with, I find it hard to imagine why anyone would wish this land to still be dominated by natives to be frankly honest with you.

The south american continent was pretty much left to the original owners. I don't see a lot of people wanting to go there now.


Argentina, United States, & Canada are truly the main 3 "European" nations that exist in America. Argentina is so white mainly because the lack of indigenous tribes. There are plenty of places in the Americas that still have a Mestizo or Amerindian majority. Not exactly the best places to live, as indigenous people had a hard time embracing Western civilization and capitalism.

It's a pity that you weren't in Canada where they have socialized medicine. They would have fixed you right up. They treat everyone regardless of race, gender or political affiliations. They even treat racists.

Meh, I don't consider it racist. Indigenous people of Australia and America were always at a disadvantage and had a hard time at adapting to a culture that was imposed upon them which explains why natives are so poor today. It may take centuries for a people like australian abos to be on an equal footing with White Aussies.

"The hour of capitalism's greatest triumph," writes Hernando de Soto, "is, in the eyes of four-fifths of humanity, its hour of crisis." In The Mystery of Capital, the world-famous Peruvian economist takes up the question that, more than any other, is central to one of the most crucial problems the world faces today: Why do some countries succeed at capitalism while others fail?In strong opposition to the popular view that success is determined by cultural differences, de Soto finds that it actually has to do with the legal structure of property and property rights. Every developed nation in the world at one time went through the transformation from predominantly informal, extralegal ownership to a formal, unified legal property system, but in the West we've forgotten that creating this system is also what allowed people everywhere to leverage property into wealth. This persuasive book will revolutionize our understanding of capital and point the way to a major transformation of the world economy.

Nope I'm not a Neo-Nazi, I'm just a Classical Liberal. We were the ones largely responsible for Nazism's defeat.

Technological superiority (not to mention immunity to disease) is what won the Americas and Australia, not superior culture. To assume it's culture that was superior is, well, racist. That technological superiority was used to create superior economic conditions as well as to outright take from the weak.

I'd like to argue that the reason 4/5s of humanity fails at capitalism is that while physical conquest through colonialism was happening economic colonialism was taking place at the same time. Even in places where actual colonies were not being created European powers and America would often infiltrate an economy and exploit it through soft power backed by the threat of military power, usually aided and abetted by collaborators. For example, America"protected" of the Western Hemisphere under the Monroe Doctrine. But who protected the people of Latin and South America from business magnates who urged the United States to push right-wing dictators into power? The dictators were paid off with military support and graft while the business magnates grew rich on the back of subsistence waged laborers. Research United Fruit Company if you want to see some countries fail at capitalism while others succeed.

The Soviets, those damn commies, took the brunt of the Nazi Army's punch. It was much easier for the United States to win in Europe when 75% of the Nazi army was fighting in Eastern Europe. Not that you'll hear that story before you get to college in America.

(The US in the meantime had a heck of a struggle in the Pacific. Imagine if we'd had the full attention of the Nazis in Europe? It might have been a 8-10 year war instead of 4.)
