""When I knock on a door and say white children deserve the same rights as everybody else, the enthusiastic response is truly amazing,'' he said. ""

I think he is trying to make a point and the people of Tennessee see the point he is trying to make. I think he went about it wrong but then he is getting free MEDIA ATTENTION.

This James Hart doesnt represent the conservative values.David Duke was most certainly not a member of the Democratic party--he was a Republican who won a seat in the LA legislature, then ran for governor, Senator and President (in the primaries), losing badly every time before finally being convicted of wire fraud. Democrats have enough of their own idiots without having racists pawned off on us.

I would love for him to knock on my door. I would tell him that I was undecided but leaning towards voting for him. I would let him talk as long as he liked and I would try to get him to expand on all of his topics. The more time he spent with me, would give him less time to spread his word. After he left, I would call his opponent and ask him to put a sign on my lawn.

I caught the -ish, just wanted to make sure others would not think he was a member of the KKK.

I wouldn't vote for him - I do not care much for the rest of his platform plus he is just as bad as the Sharptons of the world.

I wouldn't vote for him either, but I'm too young to vote, and I don't live in Tennessee.

In November, the GOP candidate will oppose Rep. John Tanner, a Democrat who has represented the northwest Tennessee district for 15 years.

He won't win anyhow...the GOP people in Tenn are probably just tired of nominating people who lose. I wouldn't pay much attention.

I just have to say this...

Hart, 60, vows if elected to work toward keeping ``less favored races'' from reproducing or immigrating to the United States. In campaign literature, Hart contends that ``poverty genes'' threaten to turn the United States into ``one big Detroit.''

I just came back from spending three days with some very good freinds who live in Westland, wich is about 15 minutes from Woodward avenue, which is the heart of Detroit.

Detroit Rules.
There are so many different cultures there, that you can experience them all nearly anywhere in Detroit you go.
In Westland, on Middlebelt road, you can find a small Middle Eastern restuaruant called "Pineland".

They make THE best Middle eastern food Ive ever had.
Its a small , locally owned place run by some guy and his hot duaghter.
They always are superbly nice to me, and recognize us when we go there.

In Farmington Hills, not far from there, is an Indian food place called "Shalimar's".
I recently had the best meal Ive ever eaten, from there.
It was Swordfish, marinated in yogurt, then rolled in cracked black peper, and then grilled.

I had a stiffy throughout the whole meal.

Its not just restaruants, either, theres music, and all sorts of interesting things that most places wouldnt have becuase they lack the diversity of culture.

Its a GOOD thing.

If anyone likes Indian food and lives in the Detroit area...you HAVE to check out Shalimar's.

Best Indian food

EVER.

Well, actually...
Eugenics is a moral commitment not a racial affiliation and any race that accepted its moral responsibility to protect the right of it's children to be born physically healthy and mentally capable could evolve into and become the next more highly evolved species above homo-sapiens.
... he's pro-Eugenics. That news article tried to take a fair and uncritical view of the man, and posted some of his less controvesial statements.

However, I completely lost my connection to reality for a while this morning, and reviewing some of my thoughts, I can honestly say "at least he'd do less damage than a Libertarian."

I think it was something to do with the mass compulsory sterilisation of millions of americans and a small event known as the Holaucast...
Eugenics is FAR worse than affirmitive action, it basicaly states that only the "right" people should be allowed to breed to make the human race better and that all others should be sterilised to stop them continuing on having babies. Races often deemed unworthy and hence inhuman include the jews and people of African decent.

Ah. Well, the races should be equal, but people with mental disorders and permanent physical disorders should not be allowed to reproduce. They can live out their lives, but they should not be allowed to reproduce.

That only explains the ways in which eugenics can be used. That doesn’t fully explain what it is. Eugenics has two aspect that can either exist independently from each other, or coincide with each other. The first aspect it to promote people with certain characteristics to breed with each other. There is noting really repressive about that now is there? The second aspect is the more disagreeable aspect. Which is to prevent people with disagreeable characteristics from reproducing. This can be done anywhere though sterilization to extermination. The second aspect though is definitely a repressive aspect. However like I said though, those two aspects don’t always have to be together.

And now I return to my original question. What makes it so phony of a science? Is it just the way in which it can be used that makes people want to shy from it? Or is there a better reason?

This is the kind of stuff that results from gerrymandering and the creation of "safe" seats. No one else wanted to blow the money on a race they knew they would lose. Both major parties are equally guilty of this, and it's horrible. I mean, a lot of Democrats are bemoaning the fact that there are a number of Republicans running unopposed for re-election to the House--what if a scandal breaks between now and election day? No chance for a pick-up--or worse, you find yourself with someone equally offensive representing your party. Ugh.

At least in this case, there's little if any chance the retard will be elected, but even so, if the local Republican party isn't upset about this, there's little hope for them. I think it would be a great thing for some higher-ups in the party to publicly disavow the guy--I would hope that if something similar happened in the Democratic party we'd do the same thing. Hell, I'm ready to disavow Joe Lieberman and he's nowhere near the same league as this guy. :D

Eugenics, in its current incarnations, is total bullshit. It has become a method for social, political, and religious bigotry. Yes, the science is still valid, as proved by the successful breeding of many domestic animal species, but when practiced on humans, its applications become slanted, fictitous, and disgusting. It is an avenue by which racists try to legitimize and popularize their deplorable views.

I am exceedingly confused. He accepts (or pretends to accept) the concept of evolution. Yet he is a deranged right-wing asshat. My brain will implode if anything this contradictory comes up within the next few days.

Also-if he has read Origin of Species, surely he saw mentioned the fact that diversity is what keeps a species alive? Without diversity, there are fewer mutations, and hence less chance of a species evolving to cope with the environment. Plus, a narrow (shallow?) gene pool increases the risks of genetic disorders cropping up. So...eugenics of the type he accepts would be very damaging to the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens.
