I'm tired of people promoting US political viewpoints by projecting them on the founding fathers. It's 2011, those guys lived before 1800, shit changes. We've got a shitload of laws, amendments, and judicial judgments since then and we have a pretty stable landscape, so stop acting like your great idea is "more faithful to the original intentions" or some other bullshit.

In fact, he is a walking, talking, breathing example of what a "natural born citizen" is not – complete with the dual loyalties the founders feared.

If I were as prone to sloganizing as Mamet, I’d keep clear of bumper-sticker comparisons altogether.
I wonder what a smart but mislead writer like Mamet thinks about being taken down by an equally smart writer who a) can't be easily dismissed as an idiot and b) can't be dismissed a mere ideological analog? I bet a Mamet response would be predictably bellicose, but surely he'd recognize, at least privately, that he just got his ass kicked in public.

Choice bit:
On March 21, Naffe was prohibited by a judge from sharing any of O’Keefe’s emails. Since he’d logged into his Gmail account on her cell phone, O’Keefe had sought and obtained an immediate temporary injunction against Naffe releasing anything in the emails — his application for the injunction had actually alleged that “the material is so provocative that it caused Andrew Breitbart to suffer a fatal heart attack.”

Democracy is only one possible variety of statehood. Would a different form of state be more acceptable to you?
Hoppe: In a monarchist state everyone knows who the ruler is and who the ruled are, and accordingly there is resistance against any attempt to increase state power. In a democratic state this distinction becomes blurred, and it becomes all the easier to expand state power.

In an interview with local radio station KRBD, Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) recalled his father's ranch and the old fashioned way things were done on it. Fair enough, right? Well, yes. Aside from the racial slur Young used to describe workers on the ranch."My father had a ranch. We used to hire 50 or 60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes," Young said in the interview. "You know, it takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."Young apologized later, blaming the usage on his upbringing. "I used a term that was commonly used during my days growing up on a farm in central California," Young said. "I know that this term is not used in the same way nowadays and I meant no disrespect."

Venner started several political groups based on European nationalism and rooted in the idea of ethnicity-based exceptionalism. His Europe-Action espoused a similar racialized ideology and united the remnants of the FEN, a white supremacist student group; the OAS; and handful unapologetic Nazi collaborators. These movements united a number of discordant strains—white supremacism, anti-communism, patriarchal morality, neo-pagan tribal religion—into a grand story about what must be done to save European culture from extermination.
