    Hillary Clinton named Alex Jones and quoted Milo Yiannopoulos in her "alt -right" speech. It's just another attempt from the Clinton camp to distract people and divert their attention away from all her crimes and scandals.



    This stuff is straight out of Alinsky's Rules For Radicals.

    The son of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump used what many people took to be a reference to the Holocaust to complain about the news media’s treatment of his father.

    In a radio interview on a morning talk show for Philadelphia’s WPHT, Donald Trump Jr. said the news media had sided with his father’s Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, overlooking problems with her candidacy.

    “The media has been her number-one surrogate in this. Without the media, this wouldn’t even be a contest, but the media has built her up,” he said in an interview with Chris Stigall. “They’ve let her slide on every indiscrepancy, on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing. If Republicans were doing that, they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now.”

    This reminds why I never liked political correctness. It turns everyone into thin skinned special little snowflakes.that think everything is racist, or sexist or insensitive or something else ending in ist or everything is "code" for something else or has a "secret meaning" and the special little snowflakes who don't dare speak for fear or saying the wrong thing can't wait to pounce on someone for voicing an opinion or using the "wrong" word. Oiy!



    Wall Street Journal and John Podesta? Keep listening to these yahoos and they'll have you convinced everyone they don't like is Hitler. :Rolleyes

    And people wonder why Trump speaks to adults like they're 11 year olds. Hint, it's because adults are thinking and acting like 11 year olds now.

    All correct, and there's a big focus on genetics, as can be seen in the first quote in that list.

    In other words, while much of conservativism has been employing a tactic called "corlorblindness", meaning their issues with blacks are not skin color, but simply the "culture", which conceivably could change (if the government simply stops "encouraging" it. Which they don't realize is still a premise of a kind of inferiority, with the "exceptional" culture setting the "par" they fall far short of, which is totally unscriptural and based on select skewed criteria).
    But the alt-right says no, it's genetic (the original premise, which brings to mind someone here once laying down the choices between "genetic" and "cultural", but leaving the other person to guess, and would never tell us which).

    So a big catch phrase they themselves have come up with is "cuckservative"; which is a derisive term for the mainstream "colorblind" conservatives who only "dog whistle" (use code language), but do not openly name "the Negro Problem in America", which they see is the whole issue. "The term will include someone who believes blacks thrived before the Great Society [a common conservative argument against social programs], without admitting it was Jim Crow that kept them in check, and a person who argues abortion is wrong because it harms primarily blacks [an argument Christian conservatives will often use], without seeing how blacks harm civilization" (IIRC, I probably got the quote from the comments of this article, somewhere: http://www.salon.com/2015/08/03/the...war_over_the_disgusting_“cuckservative”_slur/ and its from last year before the term "alt-right" took hold, so it doesn't yet appear in the discussions. The movement was simply called, loosely, "white nationalism").
    The analogy is to a "cuckold", which I'm sure everyone has heard of. In other words, conservatives are really allowing basically all of this raping of their culture to occur (as much as they complain about it), when they need to be more proactive in doing something about it.

    They have blended right in with much of conservativism, condemning social programs, black crime, BLM and Obama and other leaders (wasn't even aware they were pro-abortion, though), especially in the comments of articles on sites like Breitbart. At one point; I was shocked to see people start openly putting down the Constitution, which is usually the conservative's main object to defend. One called it "just a piece of paper", and then, you even get people calling the nation's founders "morons" for bringing the blacks over in the first place. Here: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-main-alt-right-trump-20160825-snap-story.html we see US "values" dismissed: "White nationalism is more important than inalienable rights because 'Even when they violate your principles, white people build good societies. Even when they abide by your principles, non-whites [seen as taking over now] usually don’t.'" also “we’ve recognized the bankruptcy of this ideology, based on ‘free markets,’ ‘values,’ and ‘American exceptionalism.’”

    So it was clear that his was a far "authoritarian" (and potentially anti-American) version of the Right wing.

    I've also heard claims that a lot of the alt-right is really a form of trolling by youngsters who really do not even really care about the issues, but simply want stir stir everyone up just for the fun of it. That Yannovic [sp?] guy was said to be an example, and a comparison was made to "shock-rock" (death metal, etc.), which kids decades ago, used just to irk their parents.

    In any case, people really need to be aware of following just any sentiment that appeals to their frustrations, as there are some people out there who can manipulate this. And that's what I believe about Trump. He himself is probably not an alt-righer. But the stuff he says he knows is what people (including Christians) want to hear (whether true or not). Yet there are others taking advantage of the situation as well. That's why the alt-right has surfaced so visibly now.

    Just like Planned Parenthood, yet no one seems to mind they support Hillary. But, then Hillary is a big fan of their founder.

    Yeah, how to lose another election with dignity. We may give the White House away to the democrats again but our principles will still be intact by golly.

    We're going to have to work really hard to lose the White House to people like the guy in this video.



    But I have nothing but confidence in us.

    No such thing as "code words" it is a mythical fabrication used by the far left extreme to demonize their opponents. It is just another far left extreme word like "micro aggression". They have no basis in reality just a political agenda.
