		<description><![CDATA[This is the dumbest guy on this blog talking.

I agree that the Democratic Party is now rarely launching attack dogs against peaceful black demonstrators. Instead, it destroys the lives of many African-Americans by ruining the cities it runs where they live. Detroit is a case in point; New York is a happy exception. It&#039;s the same cold, de-humanizing contempt for people as individuals.

You can&#039;t have it both ways, it seems: Treating people as members of categories (often bureaucratically defined categories*) with rights adhering to categories, on the one hand, and treating them as deserving of individual attention, on the other. You do the first, even badly, you don&#039;t do the second well.

* One federal definition treats &quot;Spaniards,&quot; these most accomplished and persistent of colonizers and oppressors as a protected category, like blacks are a federally protected category

The Democrat rule in such cities as Detroit is classical fascism with a classical fascist result. 

Reminder: &quot;Nazi&quot; is a contraction of &quot;National-Socialist.&quot;

You should read Delacroix on fascism more carefully. (On this blog:. Just use the key word &quot;fascis&quot; and &quot;fascist.&quot;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;First, the Fascist current runs deep in the middle of the Democratic Party river.&quot;

Arguably the dumbest thing I&#039;ve ever read on this blog by anyone. Not worthy of a response but certainly noteworthy. 

&quot;Second, the Democratic Party was the Party of Birmingham’s Bull Connor, of his attack dogs and of his water hoses aimed at peaceful black demonstrators.&quot;

The key word here is &quot;was&quot;...indicating the past. Let me bring you up to date; I recognize that the last third of the 20th century is current events to someone whose thinking is stuck in 1783. It&#039;s called the southern strategy...

&quot;In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party&#039;s strategy of gaining political support or winning elections in the Southern section of the country by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3][4][5]
 
Though the &quot;Solid South&quot; had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party&#039;s defense of slavery before the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.
 
The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater[6][7] in the late 1960s.[8] The strategy was successful in many regards. It contributed to the electoral realignment of Southern states to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than 90 percent of black voters to the Democratic Party. As the twentieth century came to a close, the Republican Party began trying to appeal again to black voters, though with little success.[8]&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[McHenry: There is no issue of being &quot;overmatched&quot; or it&#039;s secondary.  There is no winner. I am trying to cram rationality down other people&#039;s throat. You are too, aren&#039;t you?

I am glad you come on this blog. I am criticizing you so you will do it more effectively (according to my obviously limited judgment.)]]></description>

The part where you ask, &quot;did you mean that YOU believe this?&quot; (No lecture required)
And I reply, &quot;no, just what I hear from people I hang out with, and in some cases regard as nuts.&quot;]]></description>

I&#039;m reluctant to do so in this case anyway, because in these discussions I&#039;m quite overmatched in terms of the knowledge I can draw from, so the one card I hold is that you will make assumptions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[McHenry: I only typecast you because you are not explicit enough. It&#039;s easy enough to say: &quot;Many people of my generation that I know seem to believe that....&quot; &quot;I, however....&quot;

Is it possible you place too much of a burden on your reader to read between the lines?

So, [you believe/you don&#039;t believe] that he world is going to run out of water? 


Or, you are still thinking about it? If you are, why? What&#039;s wrong with my simple formulation?]]></description>
