A once powerful demographic group is losing ground in American politics. For most of the countrys history, white Christian Americathe cultural and political edifice built primarily by white Protestant Christians set the tone for our national conversations and shaped American ideals. But today, many white Christian Americans feel profoundly anxious as their numbers and influence are waning. The two primary branches of their family tree, white mainline and white evangelical Protestants, offer competing narratives about their decline. White mainline Protestants blame evangelical Protestants for turning off the younger generation with their anti-gay rhetoric and tendency to conflate Christianity with conservative, nationalist...

White people are actually among the least racist on earth:

It not the white people, its the Enlightenment of the ~16th century.

We need another Enlightenment.

Your source for this is what? Japan doesn't treat muslims any different from anyone else no matter what the right wing echo chamber says. They are as free to come in as anyone else. But hey don't let facts confuse you, it would be a violation of the rightwingnut code of ethics. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/17/viral-image/viral-graphic-says-japan-keeps-out-radical-islam-t/

Yep, Japan treats Muslims like everyone else. They don't take any. Japan took less than 30 refugees all of last year.

We should be trying to make America more like Poland

We should definitely have more Pole-dancers.

Liberals need to stop telling us all to be like those northern countries. It's pure bullshit comparisons based on the fact that most people don't know what those countries are, where they are, and will never visit them.

Unless liberals are ok with giving up on diversity because:

"Denmark is a land of 5.3 million homogeneous people. Everyone talks the same, everyone looks the same, everyone thinks the same."

I was just in France and Poland this past week and vacationing in Denmark today.

Even though France is 10% Muslim, it feels like much more when you are out in the streets walking around. It's so in your face everywhere you go.

Denmark is closer to 5%, but you don't see it. And Poland has 0.1%, which is hard to believe it's even that high.

Poland don't play that.

You'll know when America is like Scandinavia when you actually get tired of blond bush!

My dog could probably do what ever you do for a living better than you. I really love my dog. She's awesome.

Yes, I'm sure she could be trained to sniff out cancer faster than I could order a blood test or CT scan. But what about you? What exactly is it that you're good at? certainly not teaching math better than a masters in electrical engineering.

No wonder you're scared of h1-b STEM teachers from India while railing on others getting screwed by globalism

marcus says

due to our superior intelligence and leadership qualities

I know a lot of smart white people who have strong leadership qualities. The only leadership quality you've demonstrated time and time again is your spearheading to bring back the ignore function since you are so much in need of a safe space each and every time you are triggered.

Britain needs more Serbs, and the Magic Train of Remove Kebab.

Bullshit! Marcus is a stupid guy, who can't handle the fact that an Indian-American family's members can outperform him. FYI, MMR's ancestry is from India. And no, he's not a Muslim so don't pull that stunt as a counter response.

But then again, Marky couldn't handle the fact that I could get A's in 2 Harvard College classes ... proving that it's little more than some grade inflation camp.

C'mon. If you were taking only 2 classes but the rest of the students were taking 5, it is not that hard to do better than them.

Let's make Scandinavia more like liberal America.

Import thousands of welfare demanding BLM supporters and feminists. Watch welfare state soar and diversity soar. They would be out of money in a few month since welfare chest pounding recepients would outnumber the workers 10 to 1.

Love it. It's time to classify only peaceful regions as religions. Islam is not a peaceful religion, everyone knows that.

All our ancestors in human history at some time were slaves or slave owners. Africans played a leading role in getting African slaves to America.
My ancestors were Apes.

Slovakia passes law to BAN Islam from being registered as a religion.

"Slovakia passed legislation on Wednesday to effectively block Islam from gaining official status as a religion in the near future in the latest sign of growing anti-Muslim sentiment across the European Union.
***
Prime Minister Robert Fico's government has said Islam has no place in Slovakia.

Parliament adopted a bill sponsored by the Slovak National Party (SNS), junior member in Fico's coalition, that requires a religion to have at least 50,000 members, up from 20,000, to qualify for state subsidies and to run its own schools.

The change will make it much harder to register Islam, which has just 2,000 adherents in Slovakia according to the last census and no recognised mosques.
***
"Islamisation starts with a kebab and it's already under way in Bratislava, let's realise what we can face in five to 10 years ... We must do everything we can so that no mosque is built in the future," SNS chairman Andrej Danko said earlier.
***
The law was approved by a two-thirds majority in parliament comprising both ruling and opposition parties. Lawmakers turned down a proposal by the opposition far-right People's Party-Our Slovakia to raise the religion membership bar to 250,000.

The small central European country's population is 5.4 million; 62 percent of it is declared Roman Catholic."

"Slovakia’s Prime Minister has said that “Islam has no place” in the country – weeks before it takes over the presidency of the EU.
***
Mr Fico advanced hard-line views about migration and said he would not accept “one single Muslim” migrant into the country – points he reiterated in his first post-election interview this week.

Speaking about migration, he told Slovakian news agency TASR: “When I say something now, maybe it will seem strange, but I’m sorry, Islam has no place in Slovakia.

“I think it is the duty of politicians to talk about these things very clearly and openly."
***
Slovakia is due take over the EU’s rotating presidency from 1 July, giving it a greater role in discussions about how the continent should tackle its migration and refugee crisis.

Along with the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, Slovakia has called for Europe’s borders to be sealed off to block the main routes used by refugees to enter Europe.
***
The Prime Minister told TASR that he had heard about other countries’ negative experiences of migration, including Malta.

Poland hails the 'huge success' of Trump visiting Warsaw before Paris, Berlin, or London

In Warsaw he can expect a much warmer reception than he will find the following day in Germany.

Having a country with minimal Muslims, and zero terrorist attacks makes for bad optics for the EU propagandists - people might start to see a correlation.

Hungarian PM: The European Multicultural Experiment ‘Has Utterly Failed’
Orban refuses to bow to EU, Soros pressure

During a party function in Budapest this week, Orban reinforced the positions for which he is well known: secure national borders, zero tolerance for illegal immigration, defense of Hungarian culture and “Christian civilization,” stiff criticism of the EU’s globalist agenda, and a commitment to battling Hungarian-born international mobster and financial terrorist, George Soros.

“No one can command any nation who should live in their own country, this can only be the sovereign decision of nations,” he said, referring to harassment from the European Union and its most powerful member states, like Germany and France, who are applying immense pressure upon Hungary to accept migrant resettlement ‘quotas.’ “There is almost complete consensus that the independence of our economy and our migration policy must be protected from interference by Brussels.”

“We do not want to participate in the German experiment in the falsification of history, which tries to blame Hungary for letting the migrants into Europe, instead of Germany. Multiculti has utterly failed, and they want its price to be paid by all European Union member states, including Hungary.”

Hungary was once inundated with a surge of migrants before the rapid erection of a multi-tiered, electrified border wall and implementation of aggressive deportation policies, and now its citizens overwhelmingly oppose accepting illegal immigrants, “not a single one, not temporarily, not at all,” said Orban.

“We should not let illegal migrants roam around in the country, which would give them a chance to vanish, disappear from our eyes.”

A referendum held last year saw Hungarians vote 98% in rejection of EU migrant quotas.

Orban recently accused the EU of “openly siding with terrorists,” saying, “Those who support migration, want to demolish the fence and would let migrants of uncertain origin, identity and motivation settle in Hungary are acting against the Hungarian nation.”

“As long as I am the Prime Minister of Hungary and stand here, so will the border fence on the southern border.”

In his speech, Orban also attacked former Nazi asset, George Soros, calling him “a self-styled, dedicated and successful financier, who thinks himself superior,” adding, “thanks to our rotten luck, he is a Hungarian.”

“He has a plan, he wants one million migrants per year coming from foreign cultures, if necessary by force, against the will of the Europeans, to settle in Europe.”

Orban’s administration is under siege from what he calls the ‘Soros mafia network’ – which Orban said has issued a “declaration of war” on Hungary – as well as Brussels, who have initiated legal proceedings after Hungary, along with Poland and the Czech Republic, refused to accept migrant quotas.
