Fascism was not and is not a racist ideology, it is extreme Nationalism

Extreme nationalism needs an Other.

Ok kiddies why are you calling this guy a Fascist?, Fascism was not and is not a racist ideology, it is extreme Nationalism, if you are trying to suggest his ideas are racist then call hin a National socialist which was based on race.

This geek had better learn to “watch what he says, watch what he writes”, as another Neocon once phrased it. The Bush Family — by its own admission, in the person of Bar — carries a serious polygenetic neurobiological defect that leads to dyslexia (Neil), substance abuse (Dubya), and Crohn’s disease (Marvin), among other problems. And Cheney, of course, has a lesbian daughter, and same-sex attraction seems to be biologically determined as well. Not that the Oval Office Occupant has ever deviated from the time-tested Repub “One law for me, and another for thee” standard (IOKIYAR), but they’re also quite touchy about The Help getting mouthy…

I think it would be cool if our New Americans had genes from like tigers and bears and buffalo and could be like 15 feet tall, then we’d really be able to invade some places and share the crap out of some brown people.

It would be even cooler if they had genes from ligers:

Deb: What are you drawing? Napoleon Dynamite: A liger. Deb: What's a liger? Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

Which is significantly darker than white.

In my defense, taupe is way darker than beige!

I once paid a guy $20 so I could nobble him in a public bathroom.

But only because he intimidated me with his taupe skin.

Gosh, this century’s off to a great start. Just look at all the wonderful old slime from yesteryear that’s once again oozing over the landscape – creationism, imperialism, social Darwinism, books rehabilitating Joe McCarthy, op-ed pieces defending slavery… and now eugenics, one of my faves.

I just can’t wait to see what’s next.

Just want to point out that whatever nobbled Hawkings’ motor neurons, it probably wasn’t his genes.

Fiddle with his genes correctly and he’d have an unnobblable body.

I know I’m completely missing Brad’s point here.

Brad: TCS has been a joke and also full of sickos for some time. At first, when I began reading there some 3 yrs ago, I thought they were just science geeks, and I likes me some of those. Ain’t so, tho. For Christ’s sake, they give “equal time” to “Intelligent Design.”

They are neocon, right-wing whack-jobs for the greater part. In my opinion, Arnold Kling is destroying any reputation he might ever have had in legit libertarian circles by continuing to publish there.

“round up everyone attending the GOP’s convention in next year, and kindly escort them to “the Island”…”

OK, but only if it’s a very tiny island, with one palm tree and a little sand mound beach. That way everybody will have just barely enough room to stand up, and they can all plot their ways to squeeze the others off to make more room, etc.

We’ll install a hidden web cam in the single palm tree, of course. And take bets.

Yep, eugenics is the only solution for running out of oil. Not solar power, not wind power, not geothermal energy or nuclear plants or ethanol or fuel cells. Eugenics, bitches!

I agree with Hooser. When I read that I thought “economics major.” The fact that he apparently teaches it at the college level is just makes it more depressing.

If somebody had said, “Miller teaches college, guess what his subject is,” I’d have responded, “He has the same self-righteousness, and the same mastery of logical argumentation as Thomas Sowell, so he must teach economics.”

Yet another pseudo-fascist techno-geekanerd. Who ever said that he, and most everybody like him just want to feel that they are they hard headed realists, etc. who are so much smarter and morally superior to all those liberals and “religious types” got it right. Sad and creepy.
