  1. Hate to tell all these media people, but there are so minimally few real white supremacists out there, why even mention them at all? The allegations and fears of white supremacist are more in the media’s minds than in reality. The more they mention them, the more uneccessary fears and worries are put into the air!

  2. You can’t help but wonder how much of this stupidity our culture can tolerate before it implodes. But I guess we’re hell-bent to find out!
