Germans Counter-Assimilate to Muslim Immigrants; Women Told to Cover Up

James Kirkpatrick: “If a church in the traditionally Catholic area of Bavaria told women to watch how they dress, the media reaction would make it one of the biggest stories in the world. But these are Muslims, so there has been no reaction. The “deeply held” social positions of leftists, from gay rights to feminism, are easily abandoned when they conflict with the values of the Third World–because the real goal is eradicating traditional Western Civilization itself.

The NeoCons’ Confederate Problem—And America’s

Paul Gottfried: It is not so much blacks who seem offended by the Battle Flag (in South Carolina as much as 40% of the black inhabitants are content to leave it at the Capitol) as it is the national MSM—and above all the neoconservatives. They have long stood out from other Republicans and members of Conservatism Inc. by virtue of the intensity of their loathing for the white South, springing from the ethnically parochial culture in which they grew up.

None of this need surprise us. The persistent neoconservative prejudice against the South sprang from the ethnically parochial culture in which the older generation of neoconservatives grew up. In my youth, I was struck by the malice with which New York Jewish visitors to Florida described their road trips through the land of “rural bigots.” Next to the Germans, whom they assured me—the child of Austrian Jewish immigrants—were all Nazis, these Southern “anti-Semites” were the most unpalatable humans they were forced to share the planet with.

Neoconservative beneficiary National Review Editor Rich Lowry referred in a recent column to “institutionally racist backwater” that was the white South before both government reconstruction efforts and the influx of Northern suburbanites redeemed it. That is a polite way of expressing the anti-Southern bigotry that I heard from New York Jews in the 1950s, before the South ceased to be the South.

Handful of holdout tribes dig in against gay marriage

Blacks and Muslims are definitely higher on the totem pole than gays, but I’m not sure about Native Americans.

“Tribal laws of the two largest Native American tribes in the United States prohibit gay marriage, as do the laws of nine other smaller tribes.

“The Navajo and Cherokee Nations, the first and second largest tribes respectively, together have about 600,000 members. The nine smaller tribes that ban gay marriage have another 350,000 members. These tribes all either define marriage as between a man and a woman or explicitly prohibit same-sex marriage, according to the Associated Press (AP).

“Since 2011, six of the eleven tribes revisited and upheld their preexisting legal definitions of marriage as between a man and a woman, AP researchers found.”
