Racist extremism

The raging national debate over immigration is stoking the fires of racist extremism across the country. Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists are ratcheting up the intensity of their bloodthirsty "race war" rhetoric, and violent hate crimes against Hispanics, regardless of their immigration status, appear to be on the rise.

1. You just knew this was coming....
The United States is a tinderbox right now, and it's not going too take much for an explosion. Immigration, gay rights, anti-Arab paranoia and the ever-increasing number of minority-majority states - there's so much for these Aryan wackos to hate right now. I can see it only getting worse. The Reich wing has created the climate.

2.  Great Point
Personally I think its a hot button issue that its sole reason is to futher divide the nation. And draw attention away from the real problem at hand.

3. Me too!
The right wing and the RNC have been poking and poking for so long now that its going to blow, i new the latino marches were going to backfire.

With all the distrust and fire in the air, i'm surprised it hasn't already blown. I was just trying to think of one single word that would describe this country in our present time, and i can't come up with one that hasn't already been used a thousand times.

I just wish everyone would settle down, and stop stirring things up. Of course in normal times our leaders would step forward and take charge, and calm things down but that ain't gonna happen.

I don't know if i saw it somewhere or not but i picture this in my head, and its so visible. it's a view of our plant earth floating in space, and it has a fuss sticking out and the fuss is lite.

Peace!

4. I can ***easily*** see the white supremacists as the 'fundies' of the next
few years. Courted and used by the cabal ... and then thrown away ... or jailed.

Hate is so easy to foment.
