I wasn't speaking at all about actual Biblical prophesy.  (My bad for faulty communication).

I was talking about internet warriors who "prophesy" things they couldn't possibly know about......sometimes because they're itching for a fight.   (Maybe I should have called them "soothsayers."  :smokin:)

Actually, going by history, I'd say the USA is already self-destructing and it won't matter if there's a war in the future.  We'll already be gone because of moral decay.

That's MY "prophesy."  ^-^

True, there are a core few even on the right that are longing for another war.  They've been itching for a fight and a way to kick their @ss for decades due to their frustrations with the American left.  But in truth, the only real way to stop the radical left is to defeat them.... ultimately.  Cause what we've been doing (voting) isn't actually working toward their defeat.  With every election loss, they merely regroup, reorganize and go on to "fundamentally transform" America into AmeriKa.  What is the answer to this increasing problem?  Only God knows.   ^-^

Who knows?  Truly only God does.

We keep sending people we think are strong and committed, and they get to DC and turn into mushy nothings or downright liberals.

I don't know what the answer is........... but I know that the frustration has made me leave the Republican party where I used to try to help things improve.

At least for now, I've given up....

Beyond sad.   Tragic.

When I think about how patriotic (and overall conservative) this country was when I was growing up.  How, even though people didn't behave morally all the time, the expectation was that people would, and there was shame in not doing so, I weep for what we have become.

I blame, to a large degree, the radical left's success in the sexual revolution of the 1960's, as well as the Communist infiltrated war protests, and the agitators in the civil rights movement leading to riots, where the legitimate need to right the wrongs was overtaken by hatred and violence....... not to mention Madeline Murray O'Hare and her troops' removal of God and all that is right and good in our education system.

The 60's stank to high heaven, and that's where, I think, the left successfully got their foothold in taking America down.

It's just degenerated since then to the absolute mess we're in now....   **nononono*

Of course they don't.   It has never been about race or about helping the blacks.  It has always been about fooling them into voting them into POWER.



How long do you believe this has been going on?    Could it have been about power since the end of the civil war?   


Yes,  I am a cynic.   I have become one over the time,  and the more I learn,  the more I realize my cynicism is warranted.

I did put her on ignore, but I AM stressed, because what she posts is overt and proud racism, and it is supposed to be forbidden on this forum.

What with the "tax cuts for the rich" and the KKK stuff, it was pretty obvious.

My apologies for being temporarily vexed about her.

I should have known things would be under control soon.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Many years ago there was a lengthy feature in the local Dallas newspaper that gave a history lesson about the mostly black area of south Dallas.  During the days of segregation,  that area was booming with moral law-abiding black nuclear families, black-owned businesses, black churches,  private homes, etc.  In other words,  it was a smaller black mirror version of the White communities on the other side of the city.   The article basically said with integration and the federal government's  negative influence on the minds and lives of blacks [and whites] the black area of Dallas began to decline with the demise of family values and  break-up of families, decline of black-owned businesses  and black churches, promotion of the welfare mentality, government communal living [huge apartment buildings] and the rise of immorality, drugs and crime.  All that hit the black community first.  Later this same degeneration of society was mirrored in White communities.
I watched much the same thing happening in Maryland where I grew up, and I imagine that same basic pattern repeated all over America, just as those Communists in The New Left wanted, evn as they were hijacking the Democrat Party. Guys like Hubert Humphrey and even Jack Kennedy were far enough to the right of the current crop of Democrats they could have been Republicans today and would have been called "moderates".
Obama's stunts as President only revived and revitalized the crap of the '60s and '70s, and set race relations back to a place they never were, without the degrees in grievance studies and the whole concept of 'white guilt', but with an entrenched entitlement mentality which has done no one any good, now shared across the color boundary.
At the same time Fire/EMS was becoming more integrated, along with schools, there were agitators out of Washington DC in the rural communities trying to foment trouble. I recall one of the older Black gentlemen there saying to my mother: " Miz ____ , we had to run them boys off. They were down here trying to stir up trouble with our white folks, and we ain't never had no trouble with our white folks!" That was in the mid '60s, but by the late '80s, the white jockey statue in front of a local black businessman's home wasn't seen as the joke it was, so much, but more as an act of defiance. (It was a joke, and most there had taken it as such, considering similarly prosperous white businessmen in the area had those same statues holding an outside lamp, just in blackface).

By the time I reached High School, we had racial unrest (riots) in school, bomb threats, State Police patrolling the halls, all but two entrances to a 1200 student school chained and locked (in violation of fire codes).

But there was another thing taking root. The attitude of if these people can behave this way because they have 'equal rights', well, I have equal rights, too! Discipline broke down in the school, (white administrators wouldn't discipline black students out of fear of being branded racist, black administrators wouldn't discipline white students out of fear over racial backlash, and as a learning environment, it went to crap, fast. Not saying I didn't get an education, it just wasn't in academics. You could make academic progress, but you would do so in spite of the mayhem. At that point I got a chance to go to private school for my junior and senior years and jumped at it.

(It was amusing to listen to my fellow students there whine about how miserable that school supposedly was, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.)

The net effect, however, as that people who had had dreams of getting an education, of going on to college, were robbed of that, by being robbed of the environment to get the fundamentals they would need later. They were condemned (with the exception of the best and the brightest, who managed to learn in spite of it all) to more menial jobs and often acquired a bad attitude to boot.

Well, America, the wheel has come full turn, yet again. I guess the question is one of if we will learn anything from the last time. I doubt it, because the lens with which people look back at that time has become so distorted.

In a nutshell, though, all but a very few lost something then, and it will only get worse if people don't learn from that.

I know you're proud of your overt and ugly racism.

And I find your views appalling and downright evil.

Thus, I am forced to put you on Ignore, unless the Mods get to you first and remove your filthy posts......
I am sorry but I didn't see anything in that post that was racist. First there was a statement of fact, a law was passed.

After that, there is a saying that sums things up:

"Birds of a feather flock together".

To a great degree, that is a cultural thing, but cultures are formed by groups of people, and people are most comfortable around those who share their tribal attributes.

Because, at their core, humans are tribal in nature. We determine, instinctively, "friends" as those who look or act like us, and 'foes' as those who do not. It's instinctive, so much so that we normally attribute virtuous qualities to those we find so familiar as to consider them attractive, and less desirable attributes to those we do not consider attractive. Even children's cartoons have villains who are somehow unpleasant caricatures of ordinary human appearance.  Friend or foe, part of my tribe or not?

We can redefine that tribe, by putting people together of widely varying backgrounds, giving them a common purpose, dressing them similarly, teaching them a new language or manner of speaking, unifying them with dress and mannerisms and a shared mission which makes them effectively into a new tribe. That's the process of changing raw recruits into soldiers, breaking down all the other tribal boundaries, and redefining them into a new tribe, gathered beneath a guidon or sporting a unit patch and uniform.

On a greater plane, we have done so under a common flag: we are all Americans.
In that sense, we are part of that same tribe.
 
Without that unifying experience, however, the 'tribe' will include family, "people who look and act like us", people to whom no explanation is necessary, because they understand what you meant, they have a shared background which guarantees that. They celebrate the same holidays, worship the same, share values, even look alike and dress similarly.

So it has been throughout human history, sometimes the boundaries between the clans might be so subtle as hair or eye color, a different tartan (way of dress), sometimes they might be as stark as the contrast between combatants at Rorke's Drift.

As humans we tend to get nervous if surrounded by people who speak another language, one which we do not understand. They might be talking about the weather, effusive over your beauty, or plotting your demise--you just don't know, so you get nervous because you don't understand them--unless you can overcome that by relying on those common factors which all humans have: hunger, thirst, pleasure, pain, joy, love, even suspicion and hatred.

Is it 'racist' to seek out your own kind or simply human nature?
If we are honest, it is human nature to trust the familiar, distrust the unknown.

It's why the Earthling shoots the Aliens first, and asks questions later.

What is more extraordinary is to overcome the divisions, the differences, and find common ground, to share the best aspects of those diverse cultures, to not summarily deny human nature, but to capitalize on it, to re-draw the boundaries of the tribe.

From the poem "Outwitted" by Edwin Markham:
Quote

He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic , rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In !
"

https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/179023.Edwin_Markham

There, you have the whole racism thing in one short verse.

Let's not pretend that we aren't, somewhere along the line, pretty much imbued with an instinctive distrust of the different, the unknown. We may have a host of different reactions to that, from excitement of discovery, to curiosity, to fear (which begets 'hatred' and mistrust), but our instinctive comfort level is with those who are familiar, who are like us. Then the question becomes one of how wide you will cast that net, where you will set the boundaries which define when someone is "like me" enough to be on the inside.

The person(s) who crafted the statute in Texas back when drew a tighter circle and made it law.
 
Since then, the American tribe has grown to take more people in, but that can no more be demanded by a law than refuted by one, it is human nature which must be reprogrammed to set those boundaries along our borders, to emphasize the commonality of the cultures here, to all be part of that American Tribe.

Unfortunately, with identity politics, those boundaries are being re-established (again) but not as that wider tribe united under a common flag, but by the subgroups defined by the 'identity' being used to define those groups as united against against all others and not with the rest of us. Adding in economic divisions, adding in dependency on government programs, and a host of other, often self inflicted, problems, and those "Identity" divisions become more stark in contrast to the larger group.

That is the reason there was progress toward national unity as those divisions were minimized,  and the reason we see that tide reversed today, as those divisions are emphasized more than ever.

The other side of those identity politics is the question of why that group would separate itself from us. Why do they want to be separate, and a different (and even hostile) tribe?

It doesn't mean "racism" is any worse than it was before, only that that essential part of human nature is still there, seeking to know who is friend from foe, who will nurture and who will destroy, who is part of our tribe. What it means is that those boundaries are being redefined to the detriment of us all.

Note, please, all humans are tribal in nature; that is no comment against any subgroup of Homo sapiens, just acknowledging that is part of our nature. With "Whites" the tribes have included Angles, Jutes, Bretons, Campbells, Stuarts, Hapsburgs, Prussians, Vikings, and others and their subgroups. Our surnames are an indicator of our most basic tribal unit. An earlier North America included hundreds of tribes divided into thousands of bands, and so forth on every continent that has known human occupation.

But here, you touch on the problem.

It isn't even about race, really, it is about fragmenting the tribe.

The American tribe that won WWII was coming together in the early 1960s, doors were being opened, walls torn down, progress made, unprecedented unification of the ones who had prevailed and overcome our enemies. Little unifies a population, no matter how diverse, like a shared victory.

It was no accident that the Communists of The New Left (as they called themselves) set about with a vengeance to break up that unified America, that huge and eminently capable Tribe that could stand against any other on the planet.

For our enemies, the members of that other tribe, they desperately had to break up this tribe any way possible, to fragment it if they could, because they felt that they would be doomed by its continued and unified existence. We still have enemies, they are still using the tactic, more vigorously than ever. They will even divide us on how we define the problem.

Remember their basic philosophy: Never let a crisis go to waste.

There is a power struggle going on over there now, but beware the victors.
They will be more vicious than ever.
For the people pulling the levers behind the curtain, their goal is, and has been, to destroy this country.

The rest are useful idiots, busy rebelling against the country where they have been and can be more free than any other on the planet.

The 60's stank to high heaven, and that's where, I think, the left successfully got their foothold in taking America down.

It's just degenerated since then to the absolute mess we're in now....   **nononono*

I just watched a slide show and documentary about the Kennedy's.  Talk about corrupt.  The much idolized JFK was a sexual predator and so was Robert.  Jackie was afraid to be alone with Robert for fear he would rape her.  The whole Kennedy family was corrupt and awful.

The press covered it up.

But I honestly believe most average Americans are good and moral people.  At least all the ones I know and have known.

One of the problems is we know too much and the bad stories are sensationalized and promoted.

And, by the way, most leftists don't give a rat's rear about poor Blacks except as a voting bloc.

Their perfidy goes deeper than mere apathy.

The left created inner city ghettos, with full knowledge of and full intent to do what they were doing.

They use the table scraps they hand out to the unfortunates they stuck in those hellholes as a bludgeon to blame Conservatives who don't subscribe to their "All Blessings Flow From Govt."

And keep those unfortunates stirred up to keep them as a voting block Blaming Conservatives who really do want to help them out of their poverty.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.
