The only rational response to the Tea Party by a leftist was from Noam Chomsky. Years later that's still true. The mainstream left sucks so damn much. I understand hating the right, I can't understand embracing the carcass of the left.
Rhazakna's forum posts
Rick Scarborough is a self-proclaimed, out and out theocrat (or "Christocrat" as he puts it). Evangelical Christianity is a cancer to the American right.
[QUOTE="Rhazakna"] Liberal democracy can't be combined with nationalism, because nationalism can be undone through democratic processes. Meir Kahane asked liberal Israeli democrats a simple question; do the Arabs have a right to outbreed Jews in Israel, and then fundamentally change and perhaps even control the Israeli state therough democratic means? It's an important question, if you're trying to give Jews the safe homeland they've lacked throughout history. The two goals are conflicting-is Israel a Jewish nation, or the only democracy in the Middle East? At the moment, it's straddling the line between both, but that can't and won't continue-the demographics alone point to that,pie-junior
States are not static entities. the constitutional ideals governing their political process do not have to cater for every possible contingency. The french do not have to ask themselves if they are willing to let muslim immigration and population growth subvert their constitutional combination of francoise cultural unity and a democratic system; the same as the, currently unsubstantiated, 'demographic threat' of an arabic population takeover doesn't necessarily have to preplex the Israeli political system. When paradigm shifts happen- they induce change.
Meir Kahane was a racist alarmist. The, seemingly, accepted Idea that jews are on the losing end of a demographic battle is only true if you account for UNRWA palestinian 'refugees' and west bank palestinians. There is no real 'internal' demographic threat for Israel from its Israeli arab population.
I never claimed States were static. The question is one of nationalism vis a vis liberal democracy. You can't have nationalism for a specific group and democracy, since the democratic processes can curb a country's nationalism. France is not a nationalist country, so that analogy is bizarre and irrelevant.[QUOTE="Rhazakna"] Liberal democracy can't be combined with nationalism, because nationalism can be undone through democratic processes.

If it is, liberal democracy is inimical to that goal, since you can't synthesize that with nationalism, not effectively at least. Say what you want about Meir Kahane, he understood the fundamental question of Israel that liberal Israelis and most Israeli right wingers can't answer.GazaAliCould you explain/elaborate?

oh, and this is true about a lot of young media talent, but many of them get molested as children, and that can be very detrimental to peoples mental health in the long run... I mean look at River Phoenix, he grew up on that sex cult as a child getting raped by adults, he took a lot of drugs to cope and eventually overdosed, and that explains Joaquin Phoenix's drug induced TV episode and his escape from the scene years back, Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were both molested and heavily abused drugs, Corey Haim died of an overdose few years back, I don't know much about this guy but it says he was on Disney channel, so I can see this can see how he might have fell victim to Hollywood pedophileslamprey263If you're referring to Joaquin Phoenix's foray into being a rapper, that was all an act that was being filmed by Casey Affleck. They released a lousy "documentary" on it called I'm Still Here.
