This is spinning in to racial territory that I don't condone, but the continued mischaracterization of the Tea Party is only going to hurt liberals in the end. Sitting around and demonizing them as "ignorant rednecks" completely ignores the valid points raised by the group: that government spending is unsustainable, that the debt problem needs to be solved now, and that increased taxation and growth of the federal government won't cure our ills, nor will supporting a variety of failed private enterprises in the financial sector. When liberals ignore these points it just makes them seem even more out of touch with reality. It really has nothing to do with race- it has everything to do with the fact that we continue to spend trillions of dollars that we don't have and devalue our currency to the point of nullity.

You can slam the Republican track record on these issues, I won't stop you because a lot of the criticism is deserved. But that won't fix anything, and it sure as hell won't get us back on the right track economically. Any person who is rational enough to care about the future of this country would have to agree that the Tea Party at least raises valid questions about the current administration's ability to handle the ongoing financial crisis.

You don't think average level group disparity exists? Race is just extended family that has been exposed to similar population bottlenecks. If these differences exist between individuals, they exist between taxonomically seperate GROUPS of individuals too that have been geographically isolated in their evolution.

To believe these isolated groups are neurologically identical is liberal creationism.

As commonly encountered, they lack any of the qualities that mark the civilized man: courage, dignity, incorruptibility, ease, confidence. They have vanity without pride, voluptuousness without taste, and learning without wisdom."

- H.L. Mencken

Mencken was far wiser than you, he knew the Semitic character of the Jew, his 'racial soul' if you will. The Jew has always lived not by settling down on a piece of turf of his own, but by living as a powerful and corrupting minority within a larger 'outgroup', that's how they survive, like rats by weakening the host body.

Most White Americans today don't have the faintest clue about their European roots because Jew sociologists/academicians have de-racified them, stripped them of their group identity while inculcating non-whites with a strong sense of grievance against whites at the same time.

>It didn't, really

You srs? Just look at the demographics stratified by ethnicity then and compare them to now.

America's immigration policy prior was based on the quite rational assumption that importing tens of millions of the most genetically dissimilar people is going to naturally lead to strife and conflict. Eventually you end up with the Jew run racket of identity politics.

>minor phenotypic differences

The claim that there has not been enough time for evolution to act on non-superficial traits is not scientific. First because nonsuperficial traits take no more time to evolve than superficial traits. More importantly, reasonable selection parameters allow for significant differences to arise between populations in 100 years, much less 100,000. See Henry Harpending's research on this, he illustrates how a 1 SD difference in a hypothetical trait, with a lower additive heritability than intelligence, could evolve in 500 years:

http://scienceblogs.com/gnxp/2007/08/how_fast_do_gene_frequencies_c.php

Furthermore, is it true that races only differ in a few appearance related genes? Nope. We already have this data and it's not true by a long shot.

>In a study of East Asians, Europeans and Africans, Dr. Pritchard and his colleagues found 700 regions of the genome where genes appear to have been reshaped by natural selection in recent times. In East Asians, the average date of these selection events is 6,600 years ago.

>Many of the reshaped genes are involved in taste, smell or digestion, suggesting that East Asians experienced some wrenching change in diet. Since the genetic changes occurred around the time that rice farming took hold, they may mark people's adaptation to a historical event, the beginning of the Neolithic revolution as societies switched from wild to cultivated foods.

>Some of the genes are active in the brain and, although their role is not known, may have affected behavior. So perhaps the brain gene changes seen by Dr. Pritchard in East Asians have some connection with the psychological traits described by Dr. Nisbett.

The fact that there are differences is not surprising when you consider new evidence of recent evolutionary change (see 'The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution' for a summary). For example, you see new versions of SLC6A4, a serotonin transporter, in Europeans and Asians. There's a new version of a gene (DBA1) that shapes the development of the layers of the cerebral cortex in east Asia. Over time more of this will be understood.

Maybe you should give the Romans a call about that. I'm pretty sure the Jews were pretty happy in Palestine before they came in and trashed the place.

Look at people like Amy Biehl, or the obsessive negrophilia in America (when was the last time a nigger played a bad guy in a film?) or the obsession with OVERSEAS charity.

The key to understanding the pathological nature of our political orthodoxy is that it is in effect a surrogate religion.

This secular religion derives its power from a loose, sentimental and largely incorrect understanding of Christian theology to which many white people subscribe.

The other factor in the equation is the moral relativism that is aggressively hawked by the Cultural Marxists/Jews. If we are told there are no moral absolutes, yet there is a consistent appeal to "morality," then that morality becomes unhinged from any standards or principles and becomes the free floating plaything of whoever has the largest megaphone. Thus, morality becomes the handmaiden of the political orthodoxy and shallow people become its most ardent exponents.

This is in effect a works based religion that creates a neurotic class of adherents frenetically rushing around trying to achieve salvation. "Donate to Tsunami relief!" "Save the children of Africa for only 50 cents a day!" "Contribute to the Haiti relief efforts!" "Show that you care!" It becomes a form of emotional terror after a while. It is a moral assault that never ends and never allows people to feel morally secure.

Just as school yard bullies have usually been themselves insecure victims of bullying, this constant moral assault turns others into moral bullies. They may not ever be able to be Holy, but by god they can be Holier-Than-Thou.
