Back in November, a couple of Gingrich resurrections ago, my VDARE.com colleague Peter Bradley pointed out in Newt Gingrich—GOP’s Anti-White Quota King that the former House Speaker had used his time in office (1995-1998) to sabotage any chance that the Affirmative Action revolution could be reversed. I think it’s worth reviewing that revolution, and one of its characteristic apparatchiks, Richard E. (“social conscience of sport”) Lapchick. I don’t suppose Lapchick [Email him] will support Gingrich, but he should.Read the full article there, comment on it here. Sports may seem innocuous, but they are not. It's why I write about The Opiate of America so much, as it provides insights into the collapse of both South Africa and the United States of America (particularly in Dixie). Newt and Richard have a lot in common: they both represent the establishment, and they both actively work to promote the end goals of BRA.
This past Saturday, South Carolina voters would have been better off casting a vote for Alvin Greene then Newt.

SC primaries are the biggest source of State-level embarrassment to this transplanted Georgian. This state seems devoted to electing the Neocon-est Neocons possible.
Gingrich was there for every amnesty, two of which happened during his tenure as speaker, as well as numerous free trade agreements. One so critical of the "food stamp" president should be weary of living in such a glass house.
Old-line SEC fan here. There is a peculiar incident in Lapchick's life that has gone down Orwell's Memory Hole.
In the late 1970's, Lapchick came to Nashville to protest some Davis Cup tennis matches on the Vanderbilt campus. Afterward, Lapchick went back to his job at a Virginia college.
He then went to the police and said he had been attacked in his office by Evil Racists who carved the N word and "KKK" on his stomach. The medical people who examined Lapchick said the wounds were self-inflicted.
I thought I had heard the last of him but Lapchick is doing better than ever. The false claim is forgotten or accepted as true if mentioned.
A better symbol of BRA is hard to find. Does anyone besides me recall Lapchick's false claim?
Gingrich scores his major points in his debating skill.
He won SC because of his abrasive, truth-telling attacks on the media for their leftist-bias and the "trash" ethics that caused them to lead off a debate with questions about his ex-wife's tabloid hearsay interview.
The man is NOT a conservative. As has been pointed out here, and elsewhere. He not only has supported, but often led the vanguard for many very un-conservative activities/legislations.
It's disconcerting to conservative values, which I think jive with the common sense stances AGAINST BRA, that this man is getting any consideration for GOP nomination.
Chicago was an EMPLOYMENT rate of 10% due to lack of skilled workers!

Lapchick New York Times Story
Although the NYTimes makes it out that the medical examiner lied....
From the Vdare article:
An “A” for the NBA (a league that is 81 percent Black) makes sense in the weird world of Lapchick, where diversity means eliminating positions and potential employment opportunities for white males.
How is it possible to award the NBA an "A" while ignoring its now overwhelming thug-life image? The sucker-punch brawling, off-court criminality and players wearing more ink than a press operator all adds up to an inexcusable downgrading of what was once a respected professional sport.
That Lapchick can disregard this as he croons over the NBA's "racial hiring" is evidence that his race agenda totally outweighs any consideration for the sport itself. It's like a Formula One driver being more obsessed with his car's paint job than its engine.
Lapchick promotes himself as a defender of education and academic reformer, but he is completely silent on the horrendous graduation rates for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) student-athletes, while crusading to rid collegiate and professional sports of employment opportunities for white males.
Again, to so thoroughly over-emphasize race as a factor in getting Blacks sports scholarships and then fall mute about their dismal academic performance is nothing but the "soft racism" of lowered expectations displayed by so many DWL's. Does anyone think that Lapchick devotes much time and energy to ensuring that these hoop-shooting gangsters have some sort of prospects awaiting them in their post-sports careers?
[crickets]
Paul, you could do all of us a huge favor by researching into whether Lapchick is making any constructive contribution to the post-sports careers of Black players.
As to Gingrich, something just doesn't add up.
Clearly, he one of the few prominent politicians that "gets" the threat of Islam. (Watching both short videos is highly recommended.)
Then, how to explain Gingrich being out trolling for Black votes with race baiting wannabe warlord pimp Al Sharpton?
You cannot point to Islam as a dire threat and simultaneously ignore the anti-American and anti-White agenda of a professional race-monger like Sharpton. It just doesn't compute.
Admittedly, the Sharpton incident dates from 2009, but there are still many other issues with Gingrich that just don't add up. That said, the problem of Islam is so serious that if Gingrich is the only candidate to express such profound concern about it, then he is the most qualified to win, despite whatever other flaws.
The alternative is losing one or more American cities to nuclear terrorist attacks; which is where we are headed straight for right now.
Still, the difficulty of reconciling those two prior examples really compromises Gingrich's credibility.
Gingrich is NO conservative. He's an establishment stooge par-excellence.
He's a Bill Clinton clone masquerading as a conservative Republican. The guy can't be trusted, he's a dedicated globalist sycophant from the get-go.
O/T, Paul, have you done a # on Irish Slavery?
I just had a discussion on CNN with a (most likely black) person who was incensed that I brought up the topic when he was adament that African slavery was completely unique and worse than any other slavery in the history of the world because it was based uniformly on skin color and European supremecy ideology.
Blacks HATE when you bring up the fact that nearly all people groups have been subject to slavery at different points in history. It threatens their "most injured victim" status.
Anonymous (January 23, 2012 12:35 PM): A better symbol of BRA is hard to find. Does anyone besides me recall Lapchick's false claim?
I have vague recollections of the incident.
Thank goodness for the Internet:
A medical examiner, Dr. Faruk Presswalla, said after examining Lapchick the he believed the wounds were self-inflicted.
(The above is excerpted from the Thursday March 9th edition of the Kentucky New Era)
None of which gets any mention by ESPN author, Ralph Wiley (guess what race?), in his article: "Black history is everybody's history":
By then Lapchick was persona non grata among the South African leadership. "The destruction of Mr. Lapchick" was desired, seen as a good thing by the Pretoria regime. Lapchick had moved his family to Norfolk to work at Virginia Wesleyan College. Then one night came a knock at the door. Lapchick answered. It was history calling -- this time in the form of subjugation, violence, a brutal beating he received in which he suffered a concussion, liver and kidney damage and a hernia. Scissors were used to carve the word "nigger" on his stomach. All this for trying to do what his father did, and to show his memory, his conscience, his son and the world that, by thought, word and deed, he was simply doing the right thing.
"Black history is everybody's history"? Sure thing, jackhole. No reportorial bias there. No siree, Bob.
That said, the problem of Islam is so serious that if Gingrich is the only candidate to express such profound concern about it, then he is the most qualified to win, despite whatever other flaws.
The alternative is losing one or more American cities to nuclear terrorist attacks; which is where we are headed straight for right now.
Zenster, has Newt said anything about slowing down the amount of Islamic immigration into the United States? If not, and all he's saying is we need have a strong military presence in the Middle East, then he really isn't doing anything to stop Islam. While White, Christian men lose their lives in the middle of Arabia, streams of Islamic refugees flow into the United States unabated.
Gingrich also supports illegal aliens who have planted enough roots being able to get a fast-pass to legalized citizenship. This is absolutely absurd. These are the people who should be punished the most: immediate deportation, permanent ban on travel to the United States.
Nobody is raising the issue of Birthright Citizenship™ No rational person thinks a child plopped out 1 into our country is actually a natural-born United States citizen. Why our current application of the law reflects this only suggests that some benefit politically from such persons being considered Citizens, despite the great costs to productive Americans. Louisiana Sen. David Vitter and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are proposing a Constitutional Amendment to eliminate Birthright Citizenship™ unless one of the parents indeed is a legal resident of the United States.
Gingrich won't get the nomination. He's getting votes now, not for his policies, but because of his scorched-earth punk-rock debating style that puts a middle finger to the anti-white leftist jewish MSM.
He won't win but his rhetorical gesture is being duly noted.
Romney will win the nomination, but the surges of R Paul, Santorum and Gingrich will be pointed out to him in the back room, and hopefully will be used to twist his arm. The strong thing about Romney is not his views, which apparently don't exist, but rather his demonstrable technical competence and his clean rap sheet. He's like an airline pilot who is capable of flying you to Paris, Tokyo or Melbourne, but wh doesn't have an opinion of any of these places; he simply knows how to get there without crashing the plane.
So the great task of the GOP will be to instruct Romney not to fly to BRA. If that can be done, all will be well.
As for Gingrich, google "Wrong Way" Corrigan. Newt will serve his purpose: to paraphrase Milton, They also serve who only stand and prate.
More MARTA madness caught on tape:

Please know that I cannot stand Gingrich. The reason why his stance on Islam is so important is that he's the only candidate who actually speaks out on the issue.
Given that, he represents one of the few ways that the American public will ever become aware of how dangerous Islam really is.
Once that understanding is reached, we will have some remote chance of restricting Muslim immigration. Something of which there is no chance now, nor do any of the viable candidates present the least hope of it at all.
America is in a desperate situation right now. Due to Israel having informed the Arab world that they will glass over the entire MME (Muslim Middle East), if they so much as take a single hit (search on "Samson Option"), it is America that is the number one target for an Iranian nuclear strike.
Just one terrorist nuclear hit would cause this nation to enter a decades long economic tailspin which we be fortunate to recover from at all. An atmospheric burst EMP strike could wreak 1,000X the havoc.
Only someone who will alert America to the Islamic threat has any hope of saving our nation from a truly imminent threat. If Gingrich is that person ― and it certainly appears as though he is ― then that is who we need to win.
Face it, none of the other candidates have made any sort of noise remotely resembling what Gingrich said in those two videos that I linked to. Short of a direct halt to all immigration, an awareness of Islam is far more desirable than the mealymouthed BS being spewed by all the others.
Newt Gingrich is the epitome of what is wrong with conservatives'. Not to say the entire GOP fields isn't.
Mr. Contract With America, Mr. 'not gonna rip families apart', Mr. I think Al is a swell guy.
Lord help us...
Interesting that no one has raised the possibility of MASSIVE Election Fraud! I mean clearly that is what happened here in South Carolina. Newt had to cancel one of his speaking engagements just days prior to the vote due to lack of attendance! Romney and Paul should have been all over this one if Pre-polling data was accurate, and there was NOTHING to indicate that it was not. Interestingly, the South Carolina Attorney General has detected voter fraud: at least 900 DEAD people voted! And the beat goes on.....
VoterFraud
I find it impossible to scan through these articles on a smartphone without tripping a hidden link-bomb that sends me to the last article. Any one else have problems with phones?
Newt and far too many of our leaders are acting to preserve their power minority once whites are a minority. They understand that there is no going back to the way we want things to be. There is no going back to a Norman Rockwell America that we grew up in without some serious changes that would make the nazis look tame.
What it would take is an absolute torch and pitchfork revolution with a vast majority of our " leaders" doing a dance on the end of a rope.
My ancestors built this country. One marched alongside Washington, one was president of the USA. They built thus country from inside coal mines. On the farms and through depressions and war. The idea that this nation is being turned over to third world garbage from places we should be bombing is appalling.
Paradise lost.
...he was adamant that African slavery was completely unique and worse than any other slavery in the history of the world...
Interesting mentality, that this fellow believes because his ancestors were at the bottom of the feeding chain that it gives him some claim to special status.
Of course, he is making no sense. Logically, one could state that if his people were that far down the feeding chain, then they should not be trusted with any kind of power at all. The same factors which made his ancestral experience the "worst" could very well lead to that group today screwing up anything in which they might be placed in charge.
The thing is, he is playing off of DWL guilt factors. This leads to a cycle of race to the bottom, where people believe that claims to victimhood for no logical reason give one a claim to entitlements.
The way to break this cycle is to deny them their premise.
Correction: (The above is excerpted from the Thursday March 9th, 1978 edition of the Kentucky New Era)
I am a proud reactionary. NONE of the current crop of candidates represents my views, namely the end of all non-European immigration, opposition to abortion, pornography, homosexuality and homo marriage, the enshrinement of inequality, the establishment of natural hierarchies, the sanctity of private property and the absolute right to freely associate with whom we please.
That being said, as you might imagine, none of the current crop of candidates is satisfactory to me. I've hated Gingrich for too long to remember. I don't trust him but by golly he sure can debate! Mitt has convinced me he's the strongest on immigration, but I remain extremely skeptical. Santormonious is just too damn pious for my tastes - too damn weak, too damn feminine. Paul comes closest to my views on many issues but his blind spots are just too gaping to ignore.
So, what to do? I've decided to vote for whomever the Republicans put forth no matter who that person may be. Why? For my four children. Obama represents an existential threat to our country. The toxic cultural and political environment cannot help but influence them. I want him gone.
But bear in mind, the problem is not the fool in the white house but the confederacy of fools who elected him in the first place. Obama is determined to grow that confederacy of fools. I do not think in the long term there is any way to avoid a catastrophic collapse. Mob rule has seen to that. But we are duty bound to do what we can to improve our lot.
I will be voting for whatever odious less than perfect candidate the Republicans put forth.
I do hope that the nomination is not settled until the convention. Currently, all of the candidates have left themselves too much "wiggle room." Continued sharp debates will force each of the candidates to stake out more and more conservative positions.
Anchor babies will eventually come up should the debates continue. The 14th Amendment will also come up should the debates continue. Suspending all benefits to illegals also needs to be discussed. Pressing these guys on a whole host of issues will give them little room for maneuvering once they get into office.
But solemn vows can easily be broken. Remember, "no new taxes!"
I agree. I fear that Newt is going to divide the White Right and make is possible for the mongrel communist Obonzo to re-gain the presidency. I am deeply concerned about this, and hope that by November, the Republicans come together and get it together.
Old-line SEC,
I read Lapchick's 2001 book "Smashing Barriers" and he mentions the attack prominently. I'm not sure if he mentions he did it himself (don't have it in front of me).
From that gushing New York Times article, we learn this:
About a decade ago, Lapchick and his wife, Ann Pasnak, developed a master’s degree program at the University of Central Florida in Orlando that combined business and sports management studies with a concentration on using sport to promote social change. The two-year program accepts 30 students a year.
When Lapchick introduces himself to an incoming class, the students, too, hear his story. They get the long version, though, the painstaking recounting of a weeks-long quagmire that included the police’s making little attempt to pursue his attackers, the medical examiner’s public assertion that the flesh wounds were self-inflicted and Lapchick’s reluctantly agreeing to take a polygraph exam. No one was ever charged.
Ashley Turner, a graduate of the program who works for Madison Square Garden, said: “All I had known about Dr. Lapchick was that his father was a famous coach and had signed the first African-American player. But when he told his story to my class, you could hear a pin drop in the room. The hairs on my arm stood up.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/14/sports/a-lifetime-of-battling-bias.html?pagewanted=all
No one was ever charged because the fool did it to himself. What a joke.
HATE-CRIME hoax... what a joke.
On top of all of Gingrich's flaws, I just can't stand looking at him. I know it's superficial, but he is a repulsive, corpulent, POS. No one who looks like him should be president of a White nation.
@Zenster "As to Gingrich, something just doesn't add up."
So he's Anti-white, "anti-racist", pro mass non-white immigration, anti-Muslim ( who are also anti-white , but even more so anti-jew) and he's also a Zionist. "It just doesn't compute"...really?
Steve
Lapchick = White Tawana Brawley
Steve: So he's Anti-white, "anti-racist", pro mass non-white immigration, anti-Muslim ( who are also anti-white , but even more so anti-jew) and he's also a Zionist. "It just doesn't compute"...really?
So, how in the hell is Gingrich able to claim a shred of high ground in the neo-con sphere?
I've known for some time that the GOP is off its rails but this is ridiculous!
"Clearly, he one of the few prominent politicians that "gets" the threat of Islam. (Watching both short videos is highly recommended.)"
Remember, he also promised to end "affirmative racism" not one year before derailing the best chance we've ever had to end it. His promises aren't to be trusted, these are just words for the israel lobby.
"The alternative is losing one or more American cities to nuclear terrorist attacks; which is where we are headed straight for right now."
If that is what it takes to galvanize the American people into saving themselves then so be it. The reality though is that the Iranians have no delivery system capable of getting said weapon to us reliably.
"Radical Islam" was only turned into a fear-mongering tool after the Soviet Union collapsed. It'd be pretty hard for Iran to launch a nuclear missile at the US since they don't even possess one. Even if they had one they wouldn't launch it against the bandit state because it would assure their own destruction, and they don't have the ability to hit North America. The biggest threat to Americans is their own gov't's flooding the country with alien third world people, plus its feral negroes. Ditto Europe. That it is being flooded with Muslims makes the responsible parties the biggest threat. Beating the drums for the same gov'ts' foreign wars only further empowers the big threateners.
Ivan Shatov, your point ("the problem is not the fool in the White House but the confederacy of fools who elected him in the first place") is key. The population has been substantially replaced, and the remaining rump has been systematically stigmatized, pacified, and vulgarized. Those who sonorously rely on the purported wisdom or values of "the American people" are ignorant fools.
I've come to a different conclusion than you; for the sake of my two children I will not vote for any of the candidates thus far put forward. If my sons are to have any chance of a normal life, the entire corrupt, dissolute system must crash and burn.
Zenster: Germany and Japan both had dozens of cities smashed. They rebuilt, as humans will. How could the destruction of one or even two American cities really harm us? Especially if the cities were N.Y. or D.C?
Philthadelphia is phucked. Next up will be Nig York. Then Bawstuhn, then Brawltimore. Then D.C. The cities of the East Coast will fall like dominoes to the barbarous negro horde.

The only way he'll ever get my vote is if it is required to unseat BHO.
If that is what it takes to galvanize the American people into saving themselves then so be it.
Sorry, that price is too high. We owe it to our country to rally fellow Americans and inform them of the threat so that proper action can finally be taken.
The reality though is that the Iranians have no delivery system capable of getting said weapon to us reliably.
You are sadly misinformed.
First of all, there is America's "back door", the Mexican border. They are already finding discarded Qur'ans and kefiyas out in the desert.
Clearly, you may not have heard of Club-K, the container-based cruise missile launching system. Video >here<.
There is also the prospect of a simple airburst EMP strike from a few miles up that could shut down almost every solid state device in America along with our entire electrical power grid.
Watch a short video on the Stuxnet virus if you want to know just how serious the Iranian threat really is.
Discard: Germany and Japan both had dozens of cities smashed. They rebuilt, as humans will. How could the destruction of one or even two American cities really harm us? Especially if the cities were N.Y. or D.C?
That was then, this is now. Our nation's population is far more concentrated in urban zones. Making a warhead "dirty" ― in oreder to intentionally magnify its fallout ― is a rather simple affair, especially when compared with triggering and lensing.
The fallout that Japan experienced was minimal when compared to the potential warhead sizes that can be built today. The negative consequences of radioactive fallout is made even greater by public perception (or misperception) of the issue.
Having the entire surviving population of one or two major cities migrating out into the surrounding rural areas would present some of the most serious health and law enforcement problems imaginable.
Just imagine what repercussions there would be from having the entire surviving gang populations flushed out of NYC and set upon the city's local suburbs.
Radiation poisoning of survivors plus cholera and typhoid epidemics could sweep through relocation camps causing untold numbers of deaths. The risk of mass famine is another issue, especially if the attack was staged during winter. There is also the cost of decontaminating remaining infrastructure and a host of other astronomically expensive ancillary tasks involved.
The cost of physical damage to the city or cities in question might easily be exceeded by the expense of required post-event responses. Such an attack would represent more of a form of economic rather than strategic warfare, which was exactly what bin Laden was focusing on after the 9-11 atrocity.
Estimates for the 9-11 atrocity-related costs reach into the trillions of dollars and that was just two very tall skyscrapers. Where would the money come from to deal with resettling, decontaminating and rebuilding one or two major cities?
This is the stuff of nightmares for Civil Defense planners. It is also on of the most damning things about Bush II that he did not launch a non-invasion attack upon Iran's Natanz enrichment facility when he had the chance. BHO will negotiate us all the way into nuclear fireballs before ever even considering such a thing.
Finally, there is an element of extreme irony with respect to how Washington DC might be one of the most likely targets after NYC. Setting aside the dreadful loss of historic legacy (a near impossible task), having this nation's capital nuked while its government was in full session ― the worst case scenario ― would see hoardes of our spineless politicians incinerated for their collective inability to act decisively regarding Iran.
Talk about transcendent poetic justice.
Zenster: How is a cholera epidemic among survivors of a nuclear attack on DC a problem?
And while I'd regret the loss of the White house and the original, signed Constitution, I far more regret the existence of the present government. What matters more, the original parchment or actual adherence to its provisions? Of what value is a document that is flouted daily?
I might sound harsh, but the fact is, there are 50 functioning state governments in this country. The loss of the National capital would simply allow them to take up their former power. Without the EEOC types breathing down their necks, local and state politicians would pay a lot more attention to their own people. Furthermore, much of the useful work of the Federal government could continue as before. There are no Navy yards in DC. The post office in Waukegan, Illinois will remain intact. Without the monsters at its head, the beast will become a lot more manageable.
Zenster, you appear to be paranoid of Iran and Islam. These are distractions from the main war against the West--Multiculturalism, divisity and mass immigration. So you say that because Iran is too afraid to attack Israel they would attack the U.S. instead? Why? Do they know something we don't? Why not cut our ties with ALL ME nations in fine Ron Paul fashion? I'm certainly no fan of Islam in the West (it's fine in the ME).
Discard: And while I'd regret the loss of the White house and the original, signed Constitution, I far more regret the existence of the present government. What matters more, the original parchment or actual adherence to its provisions? Of what value is a document that is flouted daily?
Clearly, we have different definitions of "acceptable losses".
Have you even considered the effect on national morale?
Are you really that eager to risk a nuclear holocaust should America decide upon massive retaliation?
Nothing you mention alters the fact that even a single nuclear strike would bleed out untold trillions from our economy. Not that these corrupt elite bastards didn't do that just recently but do we really need to go through it all over again?
Plus, there is no guarantee that Washington DC is anywhere near the top of Islam's wish list. For instance, obliterating Silicon Valley would do far more harm to America's economy.
We need to change this the right way, by voting the bastards out and then amending our Constitution with election finance and term limit reforms, among other things.
Anonymous (January 24, 2012 8:29 PM): Zenster, you appear to be paranoid of Iran and Islam.
It's not paranoia when people are out to cause you some serious harm. There are some 1.5 BILLION Muslims in this world and if just 10% are pro-jihad, that makes for some 150 MILLION terrorists. The actual number is much higher though, routine surveys have already shown this.
These are distractions from the main war against the West--Multiculturalism, divisity and mass immigration.
Why do you think that the PCMC (Politically Correct Multi-Culturalism) crowd loves them their pet Muslims. Sadly, despite the need to rein in the PCMC loons, any inattention to Islam could just as easily see us getting nuked for our oversight.
So you say that because Iran is too afraid to attack Israel they would attack the U.S. instead?
Why do you thjink they call us "The Great Satan"?
Why? Do they know something we don't?
Yes, they think that they'll all go to paradise and we'll go to hell. There is no sane way of dealing with a death cult. Posing an existential threat is one of the only credible deterrents. Obama is the exact opposite of such a thing.
Why not cut our ties with ALL ME nations in fine Ron Paul fashion?
Such a useful measure is simply not sufficient. They will still want to attack us because of how American culture tends to Westernize their children.
I'm certainly no fan of Islam in the West (it's fine in the ME).
Neither am I but Islam's not "fine in the ME". It will continue to threaten global stability and security for so long as it exists.
"Having the entire surviving population of one or two major cities migrating out into the surrounding rural areas would present some of the most serious health and law enforcement problems imaginable."
Only if the surrounding rural areas weren't prepared. And I think a lot of rural people are preparing for this eventuality or one similar to it.
Zenster: What is the present state of our national morale? We are an occupied country, depressed and confused. Whatever further loss of morale is caused by losing the National Air and Space Museum will be made up by the simultaneous destruction of the new, Chinese made, statue of MLK. I know, I'm being snotty, but really, what matters more, the symbol or the reality? Cities can be rebuilt, like Hiroshima or Berlin. Haven't our rulers destroyed many of our cities already? What's one more, when the collateral damage would be so beneficial? You can't remove a cancer without doing some damage to healthy tissue.
Why would we in turn nuke Iran? Obliterate their cities for sport? Their nuclear facilities, sure, but no massive retaliation, no nuclear holocaust. Our conventional weapons are up to the task, if need be.
Why would it cost us trillions to lose DC, or any other city? What are these costs? The drop in real estate values for the policy wonks?
Lastly, what is the kill radius of a fission weapon? Half a mile? The reality is, one atomic bomb wouldn't even wipe out San Jose, let alone Silicon Valley.
P.S. Vote the bastards out? Don't you know that we're outnumbered?
Discard, I really appreciate your willingness to engage in honest debate. It is a refreshing change of pace from the too-frequent trolls that show up to stir the pot.
For all of its flaws, and they are many, Washington DC still represents an important legacy of White America when the USA was the only free nation on earth. Think how much it would expedite Liberalism's revisionist agenda if the material catalog of America's achievements was incinerated.
Yes, America's morale is at an all time low right now, but we surely do not need it dragged down further.
And, yes, you are being snotty, but that's something I can endure if some meaningful exchange of ideas happens.
As to retaliation, massive or otherwise, over a terrorist nuclear attack. Do you propose that there should be no counterattack at all? America has long held a well-crafted doctrine of Response In Kind. Few things could damage national morale than letting a terrorist nuclear attack go unanswered.
Discard: Our conventional weapons are up to the task, if need be.
I'm really glad that you recognize this. Most people do not realize that there are thermobaric weapons (i.e., fuel air bombs) that can duplicate the explosive power of small nuclear devices sans radioactive fallout.
One critical thing is to simply put all terrorist sponsors and rogue nations on notice that a single WMD strike against America will earn all of them harsh retaliation. Nothing would please me more than to see these cretins scrambling to rein in their terrorists in a desperate attempt to forestall total ruination.
The reality is, one atomic bomb wouldn't even wipe out San Jose, let alone Silicon Valley.
This is why I mentioned public "misperceptions". Fear of radioactive fallout, no matter how unwarranted, would still be enough to drive a panicked mass exodus from any major urban center. Bringing with it, in turn, major havoc for health and law enforcement officials.
Look at how successful Greenpeace was at conflating nuclear power and nuclear weapons in the public's mind. We haven't built a nuclear power station in decades. Would you believe that Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore now favors nuclear energy?
Even more outrageous is how this ingenuous sack of sh!t has the nerve to say that:
"We [Greenpeace] failed to distinguish between the beneficial uses of the technology and the evil uses of the technology.
These scum sucking bastards knew perfectly well what they were doing by sowing such confusion. The true legacy of Greenpeace is trillions of dollars pumped into terrorist economies instead of energy independence for America.
Zenster: If you owned a chicken farm and every night one of your kin, who you were kind enough to employ, opened the door to your henhouse and let the wolves in to feast on your chickens, would you declare a global war on wolves or take care of your wayward kin?
The situation in the West is a perfect parallel to this. It's not just Islamic immigration, it's ALL third world immigration that threatens our civilization. Why do you choose to focus only on Islam?
Zenster: I agree that Washington D.C. is hugely important as a symbol of the nation, and I'd hate to see the city itself destroyed, but it's not the worst thing that could happen. Having the government run by criminals, traitors, and foreigners is much worse. The occupants of D.C. have been perfectly content to watch, encourage even, the destruction of dozens of American cities, including my former home, Los Angeles. Having lost L.A., I could bear to see the Sand People destroy D.C. and consider it a just reward.
Yes, the Left would try to use the event against us, as they use every other event, but OTOH, most of the lives lost in a nuclear attack on the Capital would be leftists or corporate shills. And it'd be awfully hard to make a case for immigration on the ruins of Capitol Hill.
Our respect for the tradition represented by the city of Washington has become a weapon against us. "See, that man in the White House is the President! He holds the office once held by George Washington, Father of Our Country! We owe him respect!". No, we don't. If the traditions and institutions of a country have become destructive, then it's time to cast them aside. Re-read the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, all that stuff about "...a long train of abuses...pursuing invariably the same object..." We can't let our affection for the architecture of our political traditions blind us to the evil that lives within those buildings.
Of course, the Sand People have no affection whatsoever for our traditions or our architecture. If the U.S. is to be nuked, it won't be my doing.
Non-nuclear retaliation would be a given after an atomic attack. We'd have carte blanche to use our very sophisticated arsenal of exotic, pinpoint, killing machines to wipe out every trace of Iran's (or whoever's) government, and be blessed for our restraint.
If we ever want another nuclear power reactor, we'll have to hire the French to build it.

If the wolves were carrying rabies, I'd go after them too. Islam is rabid, we both know that.
Please quit trying to lecture me about the role that PCMC (Politically Correct Multi-Culturalism) has in deconstructing Western civilization. I am perfectly aware of it.
Are you prepared to have America embroiled in a civil war while our enemies stand around waiting to pick up the pieces? Or might it be better to go out and put a hurt on them before we get around to cleaning house?
It's not just Islamic immigration, it's ALL third world immigration that threatens our civilization.
You are preaching to the choir. I fully support sealing America's southern border and placing strict limits on immigration.
Why do you choose to focus only on Islam?
That is because Hispanics and Asians aren't flying fully loaded passenger jet airliners into occupied skyscrapers. Plus, if you've been reading my essays, my focus is not solely upon Islam. That would be disrespectful to Paul and off topic at SBPDL.
The fact remains that Islam is sufficiently antagonistic to the West whereby it represents a set of "training wheels" which can help fence-sitters get used to the idea of deporting hostile aliens, limiting immigration and paying more attention to national security.
You aren't going to get that sort of reaction about Hispanics from the fence-sitters, at least not any time soon.
Discard: And it'd be awfully hard to make a case for immigration on the ruins of Capitol Hill.
You do have a way with words, sometimes.
We can't let our affection for the architecture of our political traditions blind us to the evil that lives within those buildings.
Especially not now that we are in a one-party system of the almighty dollar.

You might be surprised at how much I applaud your in-depth thinking on this otherwise gruesome topic.
Also, there are many arguments for simply nuking Mecca and being done with it. Advocates of this cite how proving the ultimate fallibility of Allah is one of the few ways of permanently demoralizing Islam. I'm not on board with them yet, but just as you have done, "thinking about the unthinkable" is required in this situation.
If we ever want another nuclear power reactor, we'll have to hire the French to build it.
Touché.
Discard, I think you realize by now that we are more often in agreement than not. I look forward to us finding some clearly mutual ground as it is this sort of consensus-finding that can really strengthen the entire Race Realism movement.
Again, thank you for your considered opinion.
FYI, there are a couple (several? as many as 6?) permit applications for Westinghouse AP-1000 reactor in the USA. However, that part of Westinghouse is now owned by Toshiba; it's not French, it's Japanese.
