Totally inappropriate Christmas songs now that "Baby It's Cold Outside" has become such an evil song (which makes me laugh every time i see a headline on it). Here's a list, add to it if you wish... if we get enough I'll create an iTunes and Spotify playlist.... "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" - obviously much too violent and the sadness of your grandmother being run over by anything, let alone 8 giant asz reindeer, a 400 lb dude and an endless bag of toys, is way too much. "I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus" - Infidelity with Santa Claus is NOT acceptable. If it was Dad with Mrs. Claus, you'd be filing for divorce before the Christmas ham was done. "Father Christmas" - The story of a store Santa who is beat up by a gang of poor kids and ordered to give them money instead of toys. "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" - Watching little kids when we're sleeping and when they are awake.... what is wrong with you, ya freakin' perverted old man. "Santa Claus is BACK In Town" - Elvis Presley sings, "Well, you be a real good little girl/Santa Claus is back in town" and "Hang up your pretty stockings and turn off the light/Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight." Or just go listen to Dr. Demento > Merry Christmas all ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

In fact, if the Dow were to finish the month at its current level, down about 7%, it would mark the worst December since 1931, when it fell 17.01%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
The big question is...will Donald take credit or blame anyone but his administration?

I frequent stormfront.org to keep tabs. It's surreal.

I did have to laugh out loud at the mission statement... I'm not sure on what planet white people could be classed as an endangered species! It's certainly not the one we live on... ![](https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/5914c0d3e559f199048b484c-960-480.jpg)

I did have to laugh out loud at the mission statement... Activist is not a synonym for supremacist. What I wonder is what conditions need to exist in order for human beings to think that way, and how do we eradicate those conditions in the quickest way possible.

Personally I think the answers are straightforward Patrick...
Conditions for this to exist in an individual are primarily due to lack of education. Eradicate those conditions by increasing funding in all forms of education.
All the evidence points towards the more educated you are the less xenophobic you are. Lets take all that money we waste on killing women and children with drones in phoney wars in far away places that really have nothing to do with us and spend it on educating our masses. The benefits would be far beyond just eradicating xenophobia - health, happiness, future prosperity... all tied very intimately to education.

Plenty of college educated haters out there in the world. Greed and fear are why imo. Greed for money and power, oppressing the weak, sick and indefensible so the strong can become stronger and keep them oppressed. Also a fear of something that is not truly a threat (a skin color, accent, hair, gender, nationality, etc) but only perceived as one first purely out of ignorance. And then there's Tucker Carlson from Fox News as an example of the fear part...... such a freaking ass hat. Is that how all Republicans think these days? Anyone from another country is considered "dirty"? Just dirty people with no redeeming qualities at all? Seriously? Is Tucker Carlson speaking for today's Republican?

Ask the ‘youre not even from America’ posse that have posted here sporadically - before realising they shouldn’t come unarmed to a battle of wits.
I don’t know any educated right wing supporters.

Jimmy - obviously there will be lots of exception cases. At aggregate tho, the connection is clear - the more educated the populace, the less racists they are. It's not just limited to white western countries, studies all over the world indicate a strong correlation.. here's a study done on xenophobic attitudes in Africa for example... uaps2011.princeton.edu/papers/110688"The results in Models 1 and 2 support the theory that education moderates xenophobia" Eradication is impossible - some humans will always be a##!0#ls. But you can reduce it and make it more socially unacceptable by increasing the percentage of your population that are educated.

We're suddenly withdrawing from Syria, because the donald said so...sweet, sounds like a sound strategy and well though out, well informed plan... articleOh, and suddenly the white house decided that those sanctions against Russia that congress approved months ago are OK and should suddenly go into effect now, for some reason articleBut don't be distracted, because this is the story that should raise the most eyebrows. Oleg Deripaska is honestly going to sell down his ownership of the second largest aluminum company from 70% to 45% and put that money into a "blocked" account that he can't touch? Right...and those shares are going to skyrocket in value after the announcement of the lifted sanctions, which was a result of multi-million dollar lobbying, but at least he'll only own 45% of the worlds second largest aluminum company while still staying under "sanctions" himself. Seems like real stiff punishment. Wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that donalds guy, Manafort, owed Oleg tens of millions of dollars?
No, I'm sure it's all just a coincidence...and all of this happens in only the first 3 days of the week, wonder what the next few days will bring.

Mattis resigning under a cause of conscientious objection to the President should send a clear, non-political message to everyone.
A condensed version of Mattis' resignation letter....
Because you have the right to be an idiot and you continue to do so, I believe it is right for me to get the hell outta here while i still have my sanity.
Bye Felicia
Love, Mad Dog

Well, I'm sure most of you feel secure in the knowledge that Donald is heeding the advice given him by Coulter and Limbaugh.
