The election of a German to be pope this week has given the left and various other kooks another excuse to beat up on minorities. Yes, that’s right, I said that the LEFT is beating up on minorities again.
You see, German-Americans are a minority. They are a fairly large one, but nonetheless a minority.
The pope, according to an article in the World Peace Herald, is being called a “nazi pope” by all sorts of folks.
In speaking of hundreds of internet postings about the “nazi pope” the article makes a telling admission:
“…anti-German prejudices are safe to disseminate for a simple reason: unlike organizations representing blacks, Jews, Italians or the Irish, their German-American counterparts hardly ever raise a fuss.”
It then goes on to say that many German-Americans are beginning to debate whether trying to “enlighten people” quietly instead of standing up to them has been the right path to take.
This brings up yet another reason why Respectable Conservative boot-licking has created so many problems. Once the left is allowed to push lies and distortions long enough, the average knucklehead imbibes them. At that point, the left doesn’t even have to bring them up anymore. They are embedded in the mind of the public.
Of course, this is exactly the charge brought up against people like me, who want to discuss politically incorrect issues openly and honestly. The left can’t allow that, because they say the ignorant masses will imbibe them and turn into a seething hate-mob.
No, they must have the monopoly on turning the ignorant masses into seething hate-mobs against Germans, and by association, all whites.
You see, leftists are purely behaviorists. They think of everyone but themselves as animals to be trained. Respectable Conservatives are well-trained animals that bark like seals, clean up well, and do neat tricks.
But the difference has to do with facts. With what is true to those facts, versus just plain propaganda.
When you feed people lies in order to direct their behavior, you will create animals if you are successful. That is how hate-mobs are created.
When you give people the facts and real, workable alternatives, they will work to solve the problem. That is how America was built. That is how the West was built.
When you let leftists, professors, and Respectable Conservatives control the flow of information, you get everything they accuse us of creating.

You are right about that. They do seem to condone antiGerman bigotry.

I like the word you coined: “hate-mob.” I hope you aren’t hate-listed for that.

Peter, as you well know, it’s about fifty years too late for me to worry about
being labeled.

That’s right! The Left appeals to antiGerman bigotry. It seems like the reason they hate antiSemitism is purely because they associate it with one nationality, the Germans.
