Diversity is code word for white genocide. Please learn about how our Immigration laws were changed to get a better picture of the agenda in place:

"Diversity" isn't a code word for "white genocide"- it's just a meaningless word that you are supposed to use because it sounds nice. There's an argument to be made for assimilation, etc but perhaps tone it down a bit, yes?

Edit: Zionist propaganda. Found the WS. Plz go away.

Excuse me, but when a Swedish couple just got stabbed to death last week while shopping inside an IKEA by illegal immigrants I think it's safe to say we are beyond being worried about our tone, as Trump has noted.

Ah WS, another favoured buzzword of the left.

Michele Obama is set to join the 2016 race
http://www.wnd.com/2015/08/michelle-obama-to-jump-in-race-for-president/


Could the 2016 race for the Oval Office get any crazier?

On the GOP side, there’s a long list of experience politicians with long lists of accomplishments to their names seeking the presidency – senior governors, senators and statesmen – and they’re all trailing Donald Trump, a shoot-from-the-hip billionaire with a knack for saying what many people across the country are feeling.

And on the Democrat side, there’s surging support for a self-avowed socialist who is challenging Hillary Clinton, who thought she was the anointed candidate in 2008, only to be knocked off her pedestal by upstart Barack Obama. She considers herself anointed now, but finds her support fading quickly.

So how about the gauntlet being thrown down by … Michelle Obama?

There already are some commenting on the idea.

WND commentator Star Parker told WND she was at a book signing in Washington this week and was asked about the possibility.

She admitted she’s watching that possible development closely.

“I’ve even seen bumper stickers that say Michelle 2016,” Parker told WND. “Until the primaries are absolutely closed, my eye is on Michelle.”

image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/08/Michelle32.jpg
Michelle32

She suggested there’s a behind-the-scenes move developing that is turning her into a cause celebre.

“The thought of Michelle Obama elected president makes me want to really break down and cry,” said Maureen Vaccaro of Santa Clarita, California, who attended Parker’s event.

Washington columnist Edward Klein has reported that Michelle Obama’s plans after her husband’s presidency are big – and they don’t necessarily include her husband.

“For a while, the first lady played with the idea of running for the Illinois Senate seat now occupied by Republican Mark Kirk, who was hobbled by a 2012 stroke and recently fell during a vote on the Senate floor. But she has since all but dismissed this idea,” he reported.

(It was from an Illinois Senate seat that Barack Obama launched his successful bid for the Oval Office.)

But while describing how Michelle Obama “envisions” a future alongside “best friend and confidant Valerie Jarrett,” he said she also “doesn’t want to step down from that luxurious Air Force One lifestyle.”

A May Rasmussen poll found, if Michelle decided to run for president, she’d pose the most significant threat to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton than any other Democratic Party contender.

What do YOU think? Sound off on the rumor Michelle Obama may run for president

On April 30, Michelle joked about running for the White House when she was a guest on “The Late Show with David Letterman” (6:00 mark).

“I’m retiring in a few weeks,” Letterman said.

“No kidding,” Michelle responded.

“And I know that your time at the White House, in a couple years, same sort of thing,” Lettterman said. “You won’t be retiring, though. But do you ever glimpse that far down the road?”

Michelle replied, “What, like when I’m going to be running for president or anything?”

“Something to consider,” Letterman said.

I still can't get over the 2 BLM girls shutting down Sander's rally. That was so pathetic, and infinitely worse than Howard Dean screaming.

Also, don't worry about the Democrats. They're fine lol. Things get more heated and partisan when the nominee becomes clear, and voting women are going to think "Jeb Bush doesn't want to fund women programs" and "Hillary can be the first female president in the country. I can't miss this opportunity."

I'm worried for Hillary. in June she was ahead 59% to 35% vs Trump. in July she was ahead 56% to 40% vs Trump. Now she is ahead 51% vs Trumps 45%. If Trumps engorged member keeps ejaculating all over her campaign, she might be in deep trouble.


Trump is going to win, and Hillary will be watching his inauguration speech from a fucking jail cell where she belongs.

The silent majority in America is sick and tired of political correctness, of SJW bullshit, and most importantly - - being a spineless cuck like the rest of the GOP candidates or Bernie Sanders, who can't even defend his own podium let alone your country. (Seriously, just imagine if JFK or Reagan allowed communists to steal their microphone during their campaigns. It would've been the curtain call right there.) Trump is the alpha male, his charisma and leadership is simply unmatched. I'm predicted a landslide just like Reagan. (Almost fitting since Trump admires him so much.)

Socialism is truly evil. Never in history would I ever have imagined that stopping illegal immigration would somehow be considered controversial and 'racist.' But this is what happens when you allow Marxists to change your immigration laws (see Edward Kennedy in 1965), disrupting the balance of democracy by flooding your country will illegals who will undoubtedly vote for the party which panders to them (Democrats). Europe faces a similar problem only much worse. Nowhere is this pathological altruism of allowing your country to be flooded with third world refugees more prevalent than in Sweden. A true progressive dystopia where, for instance, if you so much as suggest cutting down on the 100,000 refugees they want to bring in this year despite the housing crisis, you'll be called a racist, Nazi, fascist etc. whatever buzzword the socialists feel like using on that particular day to slander the opposition.

Please watch this video to gain an introduction to the ongoing insanity taking place in Sweden:

+ Show Spoiler +


Today in Germany it was announced they will bring in 800 000 refugees this year alone. They will not be cutting down on this number next year or the years to follow because that's not in the cards, despite how Germans now have the lowest birth rates of any race on the planet and could very well become strangers in their own country. (In some areas they already are.) Now there is a reason why back during the 1920's we slowed down immigration so that these people could assimilate into western culture and adapt western values. However, because white countries (and only white countries, this is not happening in China, Saudi Arabia, Japan or any non-white country because there is an agenda behind this) have embraced mass, unmitigated immigration under the hands of socialists, we are witnessing immigrants form "cultural islands" where they isolate themselves from society and simply revert back to their old culture, rather than assimilating which leads to major problems. Hence why multiculturalism is an utterly failed experiment.

Before the socialists and bleeding heart SJWs in this thread start going berserk, understand that it is NOT racist to make these points. I am not persecuting people for the color of their skin, that is simply absurd. I am simply making the case for the necessity of homogeneity to stop the ongoing cultural genocide taking place in both Europe and North America. Based on Trump's immigration policies, I strongly believe he understands what is at stake. He is quite honestly America's last chance to avoid suffering the same fate as Brazil, which would be a tragedy of untold proportions.
If you think telling this thread's leftists the bolded matters, you're crazier than they are. The current insanity on racism etc is not weak enough to convince everyone you're clean in a paragraph, let alone a novel.

EDIT: In view of the posts following the one I replied to, you might just be that extremist yang to the yin you decry.

You are going to need to read much more than that if you have any hope of grasping the truth behind the establishment & global elite that Americans are wisely growing to hate. Much thanks to Trump for exposing the oligarchy than runs America, but that is only step one I'm afraid.

If you have to end your post with "its not racist to say this" then you are admiring that the group you are in thinks its racist and you are doubling down with that knowledge.

I think people are underestimating the women voter. Despite what people say I gotta belive that they're not one issue voters and would have serious problems with someone who stood by their husband while he had an affair and used it for political gain.

I don't think there's any legitimate reason to think she's going to run for President right now. She's First Lady, but she doesn't have the political experience that Hillary does, and surely everyone (including Michelle) knows that. If she did run, she might take a good amount of female votes from Hillary, which may benefit Bernie Sanders during the primary.

Honestly, I think all her social work has been really good and fits a nice niche for her, but I can't see her being Commander-In-Chief.

It's funny but Bill Clinton's affair isn't really seen as a big deal to people. it actually helped his popularity if you look at the polls. as for Hilary considering how much she's in favor of women's rights I can't think of too many women voters (except maybe for religious ones who probably wouldn't vote for her anyway) who'd vote against her just because of that

I don't know where you got such an absurd idea like that from. Admiring that the group I'm in thinks its racist? Why the hell would I ever admire such an idea. It is the socialists who think what I said was racist, because the very word 'racist' is an intentionally vague descriptor meant to browbeat their opposition.

so apparently trump went of an a tangent about the pope

http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/19/politics/donald-trump-chris-cuomo-cnn-interview/index.html

Picture this: Trump and the Pope, face-to-face. And the Pope tells the mogul that capitalism can be toxic. How would Trump reply?

"I'd say, 'ISIS wants to get you,'" Trump said, when asked by Cuomo about that hypothetical scenario.

"You know that ISIS wants to go in and take over the Vatican? You have heard that. You know, that's a dream of theirs, to go into Italy," Trump said.

Cuomo, taken aback, asked if Trump would actually scare the Pope, who is coming to the U.S. for his first visit next month.

"I'm gonna have to scare the Pope because it's the only thing," Trump said. "The Pope, I hope, can only be scared by God. But the truth is -- you know, if you look at what's going on -- they better hope that capitalism works, because it's the only thing we have right now. And it's a great thing when it works properly."

Trump said right now, capitalism was not working properly in the U.S. because of over-regulation of industry.

The real estate mogul said that though he is a Protestant, he generally likes Pope Francis, who has been outspoken on a number of politically sensitive issues including poverty, climate change and judging gays.

"I have great respect for the Pope," Trump said. "I like the Pope. I actually like him. He's becoming very political, there's no question about it. But I like him. He seems like a pretty good guy."

Trump also noted he doesn't believe the Pope is actually opposed to capitalism.




well maybe not a tangent but I find it interesting. I wonder if and how much the pope's tour of the US is actually going to impact things.

But while describing how Michelle Obama “envisions” a future alongside “best friend and confidant Valerie Jarrett,” he said she also “doesn’t want to step down from that luxurious Air Force One lifestyle.”

A May Rasmussen poll found, if Michelle decided to run for president, she’d pose the most significant threat to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton than any other Democratic Party contender.

What do YOU think? Sound off on the rumor Michelle Obama may run for president

On April 30, Michelle joked about running for the White House when she was a guest on “The Late Show with David Letterman” (6:00 mark).

“I’m retiring in a few weeks,” Letterman said.

“No kidding,” Michelle responded.

“And I know that your time at the White House, in a couple years, same sort of thing,” Lettterman said. “You won’t be retiring, though. But do you ever glimpse that far down the road?”

Michelle replied, “What, like when I’m going to be running for president or anything?”

“Something to consider,” Letterman said.




I don't think there's any legitimate reason to think she's going to run for President right now. She's First Lady, but she doesn't have the political experience that Hillary does, and surely everyone (including Michelle) knows that. If she did run, she might take a good amount of female votes from Hillary, which may benefit Bernie Sanders during the primary.

Honestly, I think all her social work has been really good and fits a nice niche for her, but I can't see her being Commander-In-Chief.


The wife of the guy who won the presidency with like .5 years of US senate experience? I don't think she would see that as a real obstacle.
