White Sox Miers, and... Those Twins

First the Red Sox, then the White Sox. This shaping up to be the Decade (or maybe the Century) of the Underdog. We'll see.

The nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court has been withdrawn. This isn't too suprising; her views were unknown, her legal credentials flimsy, and her scholarship almost nonexistent. All that - plus cronyism - might not have been enough to upset the Republican majority, but then it turned out she might not be solidly pro-life. Out she went.

And lastly:

Lately alot of attention has been paid to Prussian Blue, a California-based pop duo comprising of adorable twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede. At first sight, they usually elicit the too-cute 'Awwwww!' response akin to what the Olsen twins evoked back when they were less frightening. Until people realize...

...THEY'RE INSANE NAZI BITCHES!!


From ABC:
Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.

"We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."

Lynx and Lamb have been nurtured on racist beliefs since birth by their mother April. "They need to have the background to understand why certain things are happening," said April, a stay-at-home mom who no longer lives with the twins' father. "I'm going to give them, give them my opinion just like any, any parent would."

April home-schools the girls, teaching them her own unique perspective on everything from current to historical events.

Snip

Songs like "Sacrifice" — a tribute to Nazi Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy Fuhrer — clearly show the effect of the girls' upbringing. The lyrics praise Hess as a "man of peace who wouldn't give up."
About this, I have no 'insight' to add. I think people can figure this one out for themselves.

Yeah...though I'd heard of Prussian Blue before (I think through you), I really didn't "get" the t-shirts until like ten minutes after I first saw them.

Seth said...

Oh man, I just got the t-shirt thing...that's awful!

It would be kinda funny if these kids weren't actually serious about their Nazism. Sheesh.

prussian blue?? i thought that was a 'paint' colour...

Jesus Wept!!! as my dad often says, whilst wiping his hand over his ever disappearing hair...

I don't like the nazi thing one bit. However, there is nothing wrong with wanting to preserve your race. Would you attack an asian family because the parents wanted their daughter to marry a an asian? How about a family of blacks who don't want a white married into the family. Whites have the same right as any other group to preserve their heritage.

Seth said...

wow.

and I thought there was a diference between conserving one's culture and RACISM.

stupid me.

nevermind Nazi Babies, they'll grow out of it...this gets me worried:

IRAN: (from a newspaper clipping)

'Iran has speeded up work on its nuclear programme which is expected to yield an atomic bomb within a few years. It has already the Shahab-3 ballististic missile capable of hitting Israel or British bases in the Middle East. But spy agencies believe Iran is soon to take delivery...blah blah, China, Russia, apparently all involved....

what's the big deal? they only want nukes for energy purposes, right?

Anonymous said...

er, no where are you from? Alaska? lol...the iranian president has threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, or rather SAID so, we are all entitled to our opinions I guess...

Seth said...

oh, but the Iranians don't really mean that, do they? if we just understood them better, we'd realize that.

yeah, proabably, I just read it a newspaper, part propoganda part worry....

i know, lets have the US do a pre-emptive strike! Then we can democratize the place and install a flat tax.Then we can extend the security wall from the west bank clear around Syria, Iraq and Iran and set up checkpoints! Realpolitic for real men.

Seth said...

hey, that's not fair! why should they get a flat tax before we do?

Ok, ok...

Anonymous: Actually, there is something wrong with wanting to preserve your 'race' if it involves the degredation of other races. And yes, I would object to an Asian or black or hispanic family who objected to their children 'intermarrying' (as if that phrase made any sense in this context), because it shows narrow-mindedness and bigotry.

Other: I don't know why exactly you brought up Iran and I don't know what your sources are. But, assuming it's all true, it seems there's only one solution: engagement and normalization. As for his anti-Israel rhetoric, don't forget that Israel has nukes too - and alot more that Iran. I'm sure he'll keep that in mind.

Actually, if Iran adopted a flat tax we wouldn't need to invade. The country'd collapse all by itself.

The answer to Iran's nukes is not engagement and normalization. It is isolation from the international community. We cannot pretend as if it is acceptable that a rogue state run by genocidal religious fanatics have nuclear weapons.

As for Israel, it can take care of itself. The question is whether it will have the backing of the international community or whether it will yet again be condemned for defending its citizens from mass murder.
