Trump’s Picks: Stephen Miller for Senior Policy Adviser and Ryan Zinke for Interior

December 14, 2016 Hunter Wallace Politics 49

Needless to say, we are very pleased that Stephen Miller will continue in his role as senior policy adviser in the Trump administration:

“President-elect Donald Trump has picked Stephen Miller, a top policy aide from his campaign, to serve in the White House as senior adviser to the president for policy, the transition announced team Tuesday.

“Stephen played a central and wide-ranging role in our primary and general election campaign,” Trump said in a statement. “He is deeply committed to the America First agenda, and understands the policies and actions necessary to put that agenda into effect.” …”

There was never really any doubt about this. Miller is the brains of the whole operation, the top speechwriter and is politically indispensable to Trump.

In other news, it seems that Cathy McMorris Rodgers isn’t going to be Secretary of the Interior after all:

“President-elect Donald Trump has offered the interior secretary position to Montana’s freshman Rep. Ryan Zinke, an ex-Navy Seal commander, according to two transition officials and someone familiar with the offer. …

Out of all the Republicans on the Hill, Zinke has one of the strongest track records on conservation and public land issues — and he’s even voted against his own party at times. He voted against the GOP’s fiscal 2016 budget because it sold public lands, and even resigned as a delegate to the RNC this summer because the party platform included language calling for the sale of public lands.

Zinke has also opposed efforts by House Natural Resources Chairman Rob Bishop (R-Utah) to transfer land and other GOP measures to hand over millions of acres of public land from the U.S. Forest Service to the state.

He’s also partnered with Democrats on conservation issues: In October 2015 he was the only Republican to support a Democratic amendment to permanently authorize the so-called Land and Water Conservation Fund. He’s also received praise from conservation groups, including the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Teddy Roosevelt Conservancy Partnership, Friends of the East Rosebud and the Outdoor Industry Association. …”

Maybe our complaining paid off? Zinke is a Navy SEAL, a longtime Trump loyalist, and has a strong conservation record. See, it’s not so hard to find better people to serve in the Cabinet. You don’t always have to go with Reince’s choice.

Note: Reince was probably the one pushing hardest for Mitt Romney too.

  1. The cabinet reflects Trump’s practical mind and a genius for skirting convention, where necessary, or embracing it, when not.

    For each field, I think he has chosen well to match the kind of agenda he wishes to put forth.

    Not all promises will be met, not all endeavours shall be a success, but, all in all, I have reasonable expectations that Mr. Trump’s first 100 days will send The Left reeling, for decades.

    My wife and I voted for that, and I see it coming.

      • I agree, Ronnie. Though he is very secure with himself, and will give his folks a wide latitude to get things done, if he gets a bad whiff, as to their underlying intents, they will be gone.

  2. Build the wall, deport illegals, end non-White immigration, allow Whites to segregate if they want it and I will be happy. That’s not too much to ask.

  4. Hunter – the party is only getting started. This is going to be FUN! Trump FIRES ineffective people. He is God Emperor.

    Did you see him warning Ryan, in WI, last night? The crowd BOOED every time Ryan’s name was spoken. Glorious Leader hushed the crowd, defended Ryan – and then issued a “joking” public warning.

    I actually watched Rachel Madcow last night. For the lulz. The BoyGirl Rachel closed her show by showing a line-up of Trump’s Cabinet pick. She was whining, “Notice something? See? IT’S ALL WHITE MEN!! (BoyGirl doesn’t know that some are Zhids, and Zhids are not HuyWhite) And you’re telling me this is not a repudiation of President Obama? AAAGGHHH!!”. I am paraphrasing, of course. But not really.

    Stop kvetching and kvelling over Trump’s picks. You need to have more fun with these things…………!

      • I may be wrong, but I think I am correct. I may be wrong though. I have been SOOOO busy of late, lo these many months. I am rehabbing my poor neglected blog, and will opine on this topic at length.
        We saw a glimpse, of the Essential Trump, on the campaign trail. Do you know which moment I am referring to?

        • I think that we have had millions of ‘glimpses’ of The Essential Trump, which is why I have faith that he will make a herculean attempt to deliver on most of what he said.

          He is psychically wired to value his vanity above all else, and he measures the stock of it by delivering on his word and overcoming obstacles, no matter what.

          Do you accept visitors to your blog, Miss Denise?

          • Of course!

            https://whitetearoom.wordpress.com/
            Warning! It’s been inert for most of this year. I have been VERY busy in 3D local politics this past year. It’s easy to do little comments on some-one else’s site. It usually takes me about 2 hours to do a real post. Researching info, choosing the right graphics, etc. Things are slowing down, now, as Winter settles in. I can actually spend time writing again.
            Warning # 2 – there’s lots of Anti Jew stuff. I like you. I would not ever want you to go to the oven. But don’t be dismayed.

          • Yes, M’am – I understand the time it takes to make a good post, not to mention to keep that up on a regular basis.

            I did a lot of it this past year, for a group of modern Confederates at Facebook, until I was suddenly banisht, without warning or charge.

            Until that moment, I had held my Facebook account for 9 years without blemish or penalty,

            Perhaps I had to be removed for my polite, yet strident criticism of Kommissar Merkel, or Black Sambo interpretations of President Obama’s words, my persistent praising of the Southern KKK, or, maybe, even, for my criticism of The Jewish Community, and the war they have waged on my state since before I was a tyke.

            All of which brings me to the point about your warning : I gathered that your site would have an OOO ‘oven-content’, as do a certain amount of your comments, here. I have never taken that personally, but, as your feelings of general moral outrage and righteous indignation.

            I’m sorry you feel that way about Jewish blood, but, I think you are perfectly justified in feeling so. I feel sorry for those decent people with my daddy’s blood, because, more and more, they are going to be catching hell for what too many of their evil heartless and respectless brethren do, around the world – often in our (America) name.

            Like so many in this country, I grew up in a time of tight media control and, thus, not knowing about all this Jewish skullduggery, and, now that I have become aware of it, I am surprised that more Americans do not feel precisely as you do.

            Americans are, as a whole, a very very charitable. well-meaning, and forgiving lot. They are, also, badly informed; though, that has changed to the point where someone like a Trump could be elected.

            I wonder if Trump will reclaim our internet for us?; or remember that it played a key role in his coming to office – when he is presst by the establishment to ‘regulate us’ more?

            Yes, I know you don’t want to barbecue me, which considering your ire on the subject, is a touching statement of true affection.

            I return that to you, held quietly in my heart. But, then, you knew that.

            God bless you and yours!

          • I will write about Trump’s defining moment in the next 2 days. I have to put up the Christmas tree tomorrow!

          • I look forward to it, Miss Denise. Yes, this year was my wife’s turn to put up the tree, and she did such a wonderful job.

            It stands 9 feet tall in our grand antebellum foyer – glowing cheer with white lights, metallick and glass red and gold balls, and an assortment of little nutcrackers – my wife’s favourite ornament.

            We have our bannister pine-garlanded and well-lighted, with tufts of red cranberry ornamental berries, which makes our cat very happy, as he likes to run up and down our staircase!

            Merry Christmas!

    • You can’t be god emporer without the fremen to back you up.

      In this context, the fremen are the populist right. We aren’t expecting everything, but we do expect the main things: Deport illegals, war down the elite.

    • Denise, after reading your comments on Trump, I rethought the Trump strategy. I realized I had to be rational and not act like an unhinged Marxist. I agree with you. So, I hereby pledge not to condemn our God Emperor and will give him and his choices a reasonable amount of time to Make America White Again! But, it better happen in his first term. Or, I will blow my lid.

      • The fact that the Hebes – even their CIA minions! – are pulling out all the stops to prevent him from taking office tells you lots!
        I could be wrong – but I don’t think so. We White Advocates- we just need to keep pushing OUR agenda. Trust in Trump!

  5. Der Trumpenfuhrer did not get to where he is in life by doing what others told him to do. He knows what needs to be done and will do it.

    • Exactly, Mr. Kleinfeld. With rare exception you can predict a man’s future by the length and breadth of his past actions.

      Mr. Trump will soon be in charge of The Yankee Government like no president has been since Reagan,, or, perhaps, even, Nixon.

      We’ve had many years of passive presidencies – including the oddly passive-aggressive presidency of the chief executive going out.

      Enough Sitting Bull, ’tis time for a Crazy Horse to be in charge.

  6. He’s not great from an environmentalist point but the least bad out of all the other options. His overall environmental record is mixed, and not terrible by Republican standards but not great either. Also he is the main challenger to Jon Tester who is one of the few independent voices left in the Senate. Even though a Democrat Tester’s views on immigration and trade are better than most Republicans, but doesn’t have all the nasty right wing stuff such as tax cuts for the rich and support for war. This is why we need an Alt-Left or Radical Center.

  7. Now that Trump is in there the Jews will crash the economy, as with today’s interest rate hike with more to come, and as with driving the markets up uber high to make the crash more dramatic.

    Like the CIA Russia Fake News gambit, the Crash the Economy gambit is being too clever by half. First, everyone will understand that the Jews did this. A bad economy will create more room for Trump to maneuver, not less!

    What could he do? The first non Jew in charge of the Fed in 3+ decades would be a place to start. Put monetary policy directly under the executive branch, is End thre Fed. Use the crash to uproot the enemy banks.

    What can we do to prepare the battlefield for Trump?

    1) Predict and publicize the crash
    2) Tie any crash to the Jew and their banking system
    3) Have ready solutions, like the ones above, but also charity and community organizing for whites in hard times.
    4) It isn’t the economy stupid: remind people that our ancestors experienced the entire range of human emotions and experience with economies a fraction of the current 18 trillion dollar economy.

    The human soul is perhaps advantaged as the material conditions of life tighten.

    A crash will pave the way for meteoric growth later, so long as we take care of business now.

    • Unfortunately, Afterthought, you just cannot put non-Jews into the most sophisticated and complicated Jewish racket, in the world : The New England Government Economy.

      That is why Trump selected the most brilliant and heartless Jewish racketeers to deal with this.

      And, yes, some Jews will definitely try to collapse the economy, which is why Trump selected the sharpest Jewish financial minds to deal with it.

      • In homeopathick medicine, the watchword is ‘like cures like’.

        That is why they say, ‘have a hair of the dog that bit you’…

  8. Comments from Jew at NYT encouraging EC not to vote for Trump:

    We have recently learned that President-elect Trump has ethical and business conflicts that seem to violate the Constitution; is skipping his national security briefings while dangerously departing from longstanding bipartisan foreign policy; has criticized union workers and protesters on his Twitter feed; and plans to staff much of his cabinet and high-level leadership with billionaires dedicated to eradicating the very programs they are tasked with overseeing. In the meantime, the most recent reports from the C.I.A. are that Russia interfered with the election.

    There’s no shortage of legal theories that could challenge Mr. Trump’s anointment, but they come from outsiders rather than the Democratic Party. Impassioned citizens have been pleading with electors to vote against Mr. Trump; law professors have argued that winner-take-all laws for electoral votes are unconstitutional; a small group, the Hamilton Electors, is attempting to free electors to vote their consciences; and a new theory has arisen that there is legal precedent for courts to give the election to Mrs. Clinton based on Russian interference.

  9. We don’t need an alt left or a radical center. We need a white nationalist-based alt right, that specifies race as the foundation of identity, that excludes Jews and their collaborators without exception but that dumps the goofy, corrosive obsession with free market cults, libertarianism, business, tax cuts, austerity and anti-environmentalism that is being held over from conservatism.

    The alt right needs to CO-OPT the left’s strongest issues which include universal single payer healthcare for all, free education, ecological and environmental protection and strong worker protections. This is the direction the alt right needs to push Trump towards.

    • I agree as far as policies, but what are describing is basically Radical Centrism and the Alt-Left. Basically the good parts of the Alt-Right but without the right wing economics, homophobia, and anti-semitism. WM/AF couples are also welcome.

  10. Jon Tester is the best candidate for the Alt-Left/Radical Center, along with Jim Webb, and Tulsi Gabbard. I had to put it out there, but the Alt-Right will stand with Trump even if he cuts taxes for the top 1%, de-regulates wall street, and lets illegal immigrants stay just because he is “alpha.”

  12. Ideally, people shouldn’t throw their virginity on some punk or floozy.

    It should be lost with right lover/spouse.

    It used to the norm that virginity was prized and highly regarded as something precious. It was something you guarded and kept, especially if you were a woman, and finally offered to the one you truly loved.

    But then, virginity came to be seen as something like a disease, a plague. It had to be gotten rid of as fast as possible. It was like the cooties.

    So, we have teens eager to lose it as fast as possible with someone they don’t even like.

    So, some teen guy will roll in the hay with some fat ho’ and say “Hey guys, I lost my virginity.” Or the teen girl will lose it with some half-wit moron and brag to her friend that she lost it.

    How did this happen? How did we go from a society that prized virginity as something precious that should offered to the one you love to a society that regards virginity as social disease, something one should be ashamed of?

    Pop Culture?

    For most of human history — at least outside Negro-verse of wild bunner behavior in Africa and America — , the ideal was to hold virginity as something special to finally offer to the one you love.

    Take the concept of ‘deflowering’. So, the virginal poon was like a pretty flower and it was to be offered for deflowering only to the worthy gardener. But now the only concept is ‘plowing’. A guy will say he will meet some ho’ and ‘plow’ her fat arse.

    I compare the generation of my friends’ parents and my friends, and there is no comparison. Whether Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Italian, Asian, Muslim, Hindu, or whatever, the parents all got married, raised families, and grew up. But so many of my friends are immature infantile degenerate tards forever.

    Also, among my parents generation, it was often the case that their husbands were the first and only man the mothers did it with. There was special bonding and loyalty. But among the daughters, I see a lot of whore behavior. And some of them got ugly tattoos, and they dress like hoors. Now, what kind of mothers will they be to their kids? It will be like kids growing up with prostitute moms. Most of my friends had moms whom they respected. They saw their moms as having been respectable women before they met their hubbies and had kids. But when their daughters become moms, their kids will grow up seeing their tattoo mom-whores as someone who banged tons of guys before they finally settled down with some husband who might not even stick around.

    It’s all shudder-worthy. What degeneration of society. It’s like the world is becoming Negro-globalized or Neglobalized.

  14. http://news24h.my-homeip.com/news/muslim-teen-yasmin-seweid-arrested-for-lying-about-trump-supporter-subway-attack

    People who tell lies like these are both victims and perpetrators.

    I wouldn’t waste my sympathy on them, but they are brainwashed tools of PC.

    It’s like Hitler Youth and Red Guards. Yes, they did terrible things. They were monsters, but they were also dupes and puppets.

    It used to be that pulling a fire alarm was a prank. Not funny but a prank.

    But these new alarm-pullers are not pranksters. They are real cranksters, but then, who made them that way? Why are so many acting like this? This isn’t an isolated incident. They are all over. All over colleges, all over high schools, all over neighborhoods. And they’ve been enabled and encouraged by the powers-that-be in colleges who either turned a blind eye or exploited the crisis to push an agenda. Even after the KKK hoax was exposed at Oberlin, it was used as a teachable moment. At Mizzou, people got fired while the scumbags were put on a pedestal. This Victim Complex has been promoted by the Powers that be. There is a pattern here, and it’s part of a political mentality, just like the mindset of the Cultural Revolution.

    So, it misses the point to focus on this girl. Yes, she deserves to be punished. But blaming her is like blaming a Red Guard without pointing the finger at Mao who gave green light to the madness and orchestrated it through national media and networks. It’s like denouncing the Hitler Youth who attacked a Jewish business without mentioning the Nazi Powers That Be encouraged such mindset and behavior.

    Now, unlike Nazi Germany or Maoist China, there is no single all-powerful figure who gave the go-ahead to SJW nuttery. But the nexus of the Powers-that-be from media to academia to government have been encouraging and enabling this kind of crazed SJW mindset in young people and from a young age.

    When young children are drummed day in and day out about ‘white privilege’ and ‘white racism’ and etc, then they are gonna grow up thinking that morality is all about Open Hunting Season on White Evil. It’s like once Mao told Red Guards to go look for ‘class enemies’, the youthful nuts were looking for this supposed evil in all corners of society. If they couldn’t find capitalist industrialists, they had to find them somewhere. And soon, they began to hallucinate ‘bourgeois’ evil all over.

    Also, the media/academia have been waging war on objectivity and facts. Even the MSM, led by NYT, said it would have to suspend conventional journalist ethics to stop Trump. You see, the man is ‘literally hitler’, so ANYTHING goes.

    When it’s a struggle between Good and Evil with nothing in between, then anything is justified in aiding the Good against Evil. After all, wasn’t it justifiable for the Allies to go with the BS narrative on Katyn Massacre in order to defeat Nazism.

    Okay, there may be cases where the Evil is so great that we must tolerate necessary evils to defeat the Big Evil.

    PC hysteria sees everything in terms of Good vs Hitler. Even STAR WARS is now about Good vs White Evil. If you oppose ‘gay marriage’, even that is GREAT EVIL.

    PC sees everything in terms of Manichean struggle. Since there is only Good vs Evil, any lies or fantasies that serve the Good is justified since the Evil is so Evil.

    So, this young woman was infected and instilled with this mindset from the Power That Be. After all, journalism schools don’t teach objectivity as a good anymore. It’s all about the Narrative. (This mindset infects the academia as Jonathan Haidt pointed out. So-called Libs don’t merely disagree with Cons but see Cons as evil or at best, retarded. Secular Cons are ‘racist’ and ‘evil’ cuz they believe in biological differences. Therefore, they must be banned. And religious cons are dumb cuz they believe in God. And even when secular cons turn out to be right on racial differences, they must be suppressed because the implications are too terrible.

    Things have got so bad that even Nicholas Kristof has gotten to arguing that the echo-chamber has gotten to incestuous in the academia.

    http://stuartschneiderman.blogspot.com/2016/12/how-radicals-destroyed-liberalism.html

    Also, history has been retold as a simple story of Good vs Evil. ‘Racism’ was totally evil, purely white, and there was nothing good about it. Jews were always totally good and innocent and never to be blamed for anything. ‘Antisemitism’ was never justified whereas Jews were always justified. The Civil Rights movement was about total good vs total bad with no grey areas. It was MLK as saint vs KKK.

    Of course, reality is never this simple, but the Narrative that kids grew up with painted such simple view of history. It’s a comic book view of history.

    It’s also worse cuz of fusion of Leftism and Pop Culture. There was a time when Leftism disdained Pop Culture as capitalist, commercial, simple-minded, and stupid. Sure, the Left always saw the usefulness of Pop Culture, but it didn’t care for its vulgarity and crudeness.

    But as the Left got more Pop, its vision also became cruder and stupider. It turned morality into a Comic Book of superheroes and villains.

    Given that many kids grew up with only Pop Culture and PC, their view of reality is dumber and more simple-minded than leftisms of the past.

    In the 50s and 60s, the Left might make a sober movie about evils of ‘racism’ like BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK or TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD. In order to fight bigots, one should be dignified and sober. Good People had maturity and integrity, while bigots were filled with sadism, brutality, and ugliness.

    But as the Left embraced total vulgarization of culture, their positions got ‘bigoted’ in style. We can see this in Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOROUS BASTERDS and DJANGO UNCHAINED. It’s like the fantasy of Prog rednecks. Vulgar, trashy, and sadistic. It’s not about good guys with dignity fighting brutal bad guys, but good guys acting like KKK thugs and Hollywood Nazis to defeat the bad guys. Nihilism is a big part of SJW culture.

    As insufferable and ridiculous as these SJWs of all color are, the fact that hate hoaxes have exploded so much in recent yrs goes to show that it’s been encouraged and given green light by the Powers That Be. And now, with the Powers That Be screaming about Russia Stole the Election, Russia Stole the Election, and etc, it’s just adding more fuel to the fire. The Power-that-be highlighted SJW hype and hysteria, not least after Trump won, uncritically reporting on SPLC claims of explosion of ‘hate crimes’ against Muslims and non-whites. Indeed, the MSM’s cozy relation with SPLC and ADL, two big generators of hate hype and hate hoax, is part of the problem. So often, MSM will refer to SPLC without any disclaimer that the organization is run by sleazy Zionists who’ve raked tons of money by scare-mongering about non-existent KKK. SPLC is the final word, indeed the word of god. It must be true cuz SPLC said it.

    But then, the Right isn’t innocent either. The so-called Right’s pandering to lying and duplicitous Neocons has been downright shameful. And let’s not forget all the dirty lies told by Bush I and Bush II to get us into war with Iraq. And then lies about Syria. Most of GOP was attacking Obama for not getting MORE INVOLVED against Assad. And GOP fully endorsed the lies about Russia in Ukraine. This culture of lies in the GOP has meant that every politician must repeat or exaggerate Neocon lies to get a piece of the pie. Consider that worthless Tom Cotton.

    This is why Alt Right stands apart. For all its faults(and some craziness), it is the only force out there that is willing to really challenge the Narrative.

    This Muslim whore is a piss-ant, but we must admit that the Central Command of the Culture of Lies in America is dominated by Jews, homos, and blacks. Jewish lies about Russia are downright hysterical. And we must fool ourselves that Palestinians and Iranians pose an ‘existential’ threat to Israel when Israel still occupies West Bank and has 300 nukes(to 0 for Iran). And we had to suffer the total BS of BLM that was endorsed by media, academia, and government. And homos told so many lies. Matthew Shepard was just tip of iceberg. Also, the notion that all those homos died of HIV cuz of Reagan!!!

    And where were Conservatives against such culture of lies? As fellow worshipers of MLK cult and afraid of being called ‘racist’, they were mum about black lies. As whores of Neocons who promised them more Jewish support and money, Conservatives went along with so many Zionist lies that led to so much misery in the Middle East, Russia, and EU. And since Conservatives suck up to Neocons and since Jews love homos, they were sheepish about taking on homo lies. So, ours became a Culture of Lies.

    While all groups have liars and cheats, they are not protected when they pull the alarm or break the law. Calling foul on Chinese espionage in the US, Russian subversion in the US, or Iranian support of terrorism is fair game.

    But we must never notice bad behavior and the lies of Jews, blacks, and homos. And since all three are heavily invested in SJW culture and movements, they’ve been able to push their Narrative far and wide without repercussion.

    We have to get to the source of this cancer. This Muslim girl is an idiot but just a skin cell. The real malignancy is with other powers.

    It’s like Kurosawa said of BAD SLEEP WELL. He said the problem with the film was he didn’t go far enough. He showed some bad guys but not the real big bad guys behind the bad guys.

    Focusing on idiots like this girl is like going after individual cancer cells in the body without addressing the core tumor that keeps on spewing out more cancer cells.

    There is a nexus of media, academia, finance, and government that sustains the anti-white Hate. From its vantage point(with heavy ethnic slant), the hysteria of SJW is necessary chemotherapy to keep the tumor of white supremacist cancer from growing. If left alone, they believe that White Nationalism will grow bigger and bigger and turn Nazi. So, constant pressure must be put on white society, and SJWs are the chemo that, though sometimes attacking innocent whites, is necessary evil to fight the greater evil. It’s like the US justifies its sanctions that kills many innocents in order to contain the rogue regime of other nations.

    But this mania has gotten so out of hand that SJW madness isn’t just attacking far-right tumor but everything deemed ‘normal’. To be sure, such paranoia is understandable in a nation where the minority has gained dominance. Unlike majority power that can be secure and complacent, minority power is always uneasy since it is not natural for the few to control the many. It is not natural for 2% Jews to control gentile society. It is not natural for 2% of homos to control straight society. It is not natural for minority immigrant community to dictate to native society. It is not natural for 13% of blacks to push around majority that isn’t black. So, minority power must always work over-time and over-the-top to beat down the majority. It’s like the Spartan elites were ruthless in their constant attacks on the Helots who outnumbered them. It was to send a message to the Helots that ANY thought of dissent on their part would be crushed totally. So, don’t even think about it. And this is the anti-white, anti-gentile, and anti-straight mindset among the minority elites and coalition.

    Of course, there are whites who take part in this madness. Some are just craven opportunists who will do or say anything. They just collaborate with power.

    But there’s also the problem of Cold Compassion or Ruthless Morality.

    People wonder why Swedes, the descendants of the ruthless Vikings, turned into such sappy do-gooders. But in a way, the cold ruthlessness still remains. The rules have changed, but the heartlessness is the same. The Vikings were single-minded in their cold determination to plunder and loot and pillage. They felt no pity for their victims.

    Today’s Progs in Sweden may seem so different as they profess to Care so much. But their commitment to Compassion is Cold as ice. Even though evidence is piling up that their actions are leading to mayhem, disaster, and chaos all over, their are coldly determined to push through this madness with ruthless precision and iron will.

    Warm Compassion has limits. While people with warmth might feel sympathy for people around the world, they would also admit to the limits of what Sweden could do, and they would also feel warmth for their fellow Swedes and not try to hurt them. But the icy Cold Compassion of progs in Sweden and Germany is something more than weakness or sappy pity. There is a kind of Teutonic iron determination among Germans to push it through all the way regardless of the harm it may do. It’s like Hitler’s ruthless decision to fight to the end and destroy all of Germany in the bargain. And this cold compassion was also with communists who could kill millions with the cold confidence that anything was justified to serve the cause.

    When a German prog says German cities will be majority non-German and that is a ‘good thing’, it’s not about sappy compassion. It is a kind of coldness, a steely commitment to ideology of destruction as redemption. It is pathological, no less than Nazism. It is blind to destruction of people and culture since it is so sure of its rigor and rightness.

    And we have such whites in the Prog movement in the US too. While some are craven and some are just sappy, some are ruthless in their cold compassion that is frozen in their dogma of what is correct and necessary. Keith Olbermann’s nuttery is a good example. He is not just some sappy do-goody Lib. He is utterly determined and ruthless in his idea of righteousness, so much in fact that he is coldly blind and unfeeling to all the havoc it may cause.
