Nazis March on Columbia

Columbia Daily Tribune article: Aryan agenda includes creating white nation

Tomorrow, the "National Socialist Movement" is marching in my town to promote an "all-white America" and their "white people political party." Not kidding.

From the article:

"America was a white country and these other people don’t belong here," Schoeb said. "When you force cultures together, it’s very difficult for them to get along."

Prior to us, there were the "redskin" NATIVE Americans. Yeah, that sounds like a "white country" to me. Seriously, how many people in this country are really all-white? Many people of some sort of "non-white" ancestry.

I could go on, but is it worth it? I find it hard (and sad) to think that there are so many people in this country that still cling to the belief that skin pigment makes someone inferior.

The article indicates a likelyhood there will be more counterprotesters than actual protesters (the Nazis are marching to protest something about Marxism at MU). I just hope that, because the marchers' prime objective is likely to be to rile violence out of the counterprotesters, that those countering them can resist that urge, sit back with their signs, and laugh in pity at those who hold on to such hateful ideals. Just like how you shouldn't react to terrorists out of terror, you shouldn't react to hatemongers out of hate; show pity, show that they are the fools.

OK, not really much to say (or time to say it), just sharing a must-read item:

Read Maybe We Deserve to be Ripped Off by Bush's Billionaires, by Matt Taibbi.

Funeral Etiquette

I recently attended a funeral for a family member. It was a decent service...recalling some good memories and attributes of the departed, a few hopeful words of heaven and eternity to those of Christian beliefs, and reunion with some distant relatives. However, one thing really irked me. The individual giving the eulogy spent what seemed like 30-45 minutes speaking solely to put the fear of God in people's hearts, convert the non-believers, and solidify the beliefs of the believers. Not one mention during this lengthy rant of the deceased, just "serve God or else." Please don't get me wrong, everyone has the right to believe what they will, but there is a time and a place for everything. This was the time and place to honor the dead, not to scare a few more people into going to church. While I may not have known him as well or as long as others there, I never knew him to be a converter; I knew him to be a joker, a lover of fun, and a lover of music. Those things were mentioned, but not nearly as much as the rapture.

Quick question: with the Iraq war going poorly, little support from allies or the citizens of our country, and an over-exerted military, why is the administration foaming at the mouth to trick us (again) into going to war with Iran?

Peace,
