Paul Kersey (the author of Stuff Black People Don't Like) is at the absolute most radical extreme of the White Nationalist movement.

He says that San Francisco and other cities with liberal policies, but without black demographic and political takeovers, have not been ruined. His books are poorly written, but raise tough questions. He actually has worse things to say about people who dismiss the anti-black ravings of an open white supremacist than he does about the who thinks every problem in America boils down to the intrinsic savagery of black people. People who ignore racists are unthinking and dishonest apparently, but the only thing he can bring himself to criticize about Kersey's book is the writing style. Just, holy poo poo.

That's pretty much the kernel of being anti-PC: seeing any criticism as illegitimate allows them to maintain horrible beliefs that they never have to question. Therefore they'll never see themselves as actually bigoted, merely stifled and persecuted victims of a liberal culture. It's very difficult to "debate" that special strand of ideology that doesn't even recognize valid opposition. Also, Goldberg should look into the whole "manscaping (and moisturizing!)" thing.

I realize they are the ones that insist that "THE LEFT" are the only ones pulling this (Tolerate my intolerance), but they go so "gently caress you got mine" on these sort of topics it's ridiculous. Any sane person would have shrugged off groups boycotting Chick-fil-a due to the CEO's comments/company's policies, because well, that's your right as an american to do so. They somehow turned it into some war for the soul of the country and turned it into a disgusting excuse to show intolerance against anyone that dared disagree with their view point of the world. It's very similar to this issue. God forbid we actually have any sort of constructive conversation about gay rights, racism and any number of topics this "redneck" brought up when he opened his mouth. No, they turned it into an assault on "American Values". It's absolutely ridiculous that the CEO of Cracker Barrell had to change his stance on the topic at hand because of these people threatening a boycott. You literally cannot have it both ways anymore. Either it's okay to boycott something because you disagree with their policy, and you respect their opinion, or you think it's all bullshit.

There is an insurance agency in my town that runs a series of pop culture related billboards, with their agencies in various costumes/photoshops/etc. one went up a few weeks ago with one of their agents in a huge beard and camo saying "Insure your Dynasty Jack". And between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, they had all been painted - physically hand-painted - with white paint to make a Santa beard, red paint to make a Santa suit, and the phrase painted over to just say "Merry Christmas".

It's pretty amazing how literally nobody wants anything to do with Duck Dynasty now. People on the left won't support it because the star is a bigot and people on the right won't either because A&E suspended the star for being a bigot. If the cast of the show has any future in TV it sure as hell isn't gonna be on A&E.

I think you're correct. It's going to be there undoing in the end though. Pigeon-holing yourself with white racist homophobes who were alive to see the Civil Rights act enacted is going to leave yourself exactly nowhere in a few years. You can see in the clip that even Krauthammer is beginning to see that the "Southern Strategy" is going to leave the GOP very irrelevant in a few years. There's quite a few business-minded/wall street conservatives who are thinking the same way, and I imagine quite a few that have left the party because of it (I've come across two writers who've identified as such).

People keep saying "even Krauthammer" here, but the thing about him is that he's always been a pragmatist. Everyone on that panel knows the anti-gay stuff is a losing issue, and they desperately want people to stop talking about it so that we can get back to talking about loving over the social safety net. They're loving evil, but they're also not stupid. They know Phil went on to talk about how nice the blacks had it before the civil rights act, and they know that any support for anything Phil said is going to see them branded as a huge racist. Also, Fox is definitely right wing, but the culture war poo poo is only something they use to stoke up their base every once in a while. I'd be surprised if anyone in control of messaging at the network actually believed any of it. They're all probably a lot closer ideologically to someone like Dick Cheney. They kind of don't care or want gays to get married... while also wanting to go to war at the drop of a hat and gently caress over poor people. This Duck Dynasty poo poo is a loving PR bloodbath right now, it's not surprising people would want to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

She is married to a man who never ceases to humiliate her, to lord it over her, to treat her with less consideration than he does his dogs. He is a prominent scientist, and Mrs. E, who married him very young, has persuaded herself that he is a genius, and that there is something of superior womanliness in her utter lack of pride, in her doglike devotion. She speaks disapprovingly of other “masculine” or insufficiently devoted wives. Her husband, however, is bored to death with her. He neglects her completely and she is looking for someone else before whom to pour her ecstatic self-abasement. She will titillate with pleased excitement to the first popular hero who proclaims the basic subordination of women. quote:It’s fun—a macabre sort of fun—this parlor game of “Who Goes Nazi?” And it simplifies things—asking the question in regard to specific personalities.
