Here is a Book you might like to read:

In Big Lies, Joe Conason rips through the ten most damaging lies perpetrated by the right wing propaganda machine. This scathing, fact-filled analysis debunks it all:

- The myth that Republicans are fiscal geniuses and champions of free enterprise.
- The right's self-proclaimed monopoly on "family values."
- The conservative smearing of liberals as unpatriotic and anti-American.
- And of course, the "compassionate conservatism" of George W. Bush. (It depends on the meaning of “compassionate.”)

Big Lies confronts right-wing slander and bias with a long-awaited, badly-needed counterpunch to the deceptions that have plagued American politics for a generation.

- Conservatives are paragons of moral rectitude.
- Elitist liberals control the media.
- George W. Bush is a compassionate conservative.
- Republicans know how to run the economy.
- Democrats are spendthrifts who bust budgets.
- Bill Clinton is the root of all evil.
- Tough right-wingers never coddle terrorists.

Joe Conason, whose investigation of the conservative witchhunt of Bill Clinton became a major national bestseller, takes on the most common arguments, myths, and fallacies propounded by the right — and exposes them as the smear tactics they really are.

A powerful rebuttal to books like Bias or Slander, Big Lies is essential reading in an era of right-wing bullying and political conformity."

Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't have time to go reading an entire book right now. Do you have any briefer points to make about my post that I could respond to?

Steven,
I have nothing against it, everyone is entitled to their opinions, thought and ideologies, but as much as they promote they are not w***e s*********t or r****t I believe they're blowing smoke. Look at their statement:
"We seek to bring honorable men and women of all ethnicities together under the banner of Western 'culturalism', national patriotism, love for Western civilization, the preservation of our unique cultures, Christian heritage and individual national sovereignties."
They're calling for one type of governing, one type of religion and preservation of their culture. Who else sounds like that other than radicals who don't want races intermingled, religious freedoms or cultural identities.
If that's what they believe, state it, and if I'm reading it wrong then I'm wrong, but how does this group and its ideals relate to liberals and their philosophies on America and the American people. It's no different if you substitute conservatives for liberals because at the end we are supposed to be working for the same goal, the American people.

"Who else sounds like that other than radicals who don't want races intermingled, religious freedoms or cultural identities." How about Black People, Hispanics, Asians, Arabs. I've heard this kind of talk from those groups for years, and nobody calls them "Black S*********ts, or " "Hispanic S*********ts" or the like. It seems that most peoples of the World are proud of their culture, religion, and national sovereignty except for Caucasian Liberals.

"European Knights Project (EKP) is a rather quirky white nationalist and far-right organization and website that attempts to disguise its r****m, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and homophobia by slogans and online-banners such as "h**e free-zone

The EKP's spokesperson and primary online article writer is former United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) prospective member of British Parliament, Jack Sen. Sen, who was suspended by UKIP for "anti-Semitism" and "broaching the subject of white genocide in South Africa prior to the general e******n", describes himself as a civic nationalist, in spite of the fact he calls for a moratorium on mass immigration into Britain and Western Europe, and describes himself as a "racial realist". Another of the EKP's main writers is a conspiracy theorist crank called John De Nugent who calls himself a "white civil rights activist" (yes, nothing suspicious about that...). Nugent denies the holocaust happened calling it a "holoh**x" and "mega-fraud", and also argues the "the Charlie Hebdo massacre was an operation perpetrated by Israel".[1][2]

Other articles on the website criticize Islam, m**************m, and so on, as well as more Holocaust denial, typical of the far-right. "

Wow, someone must have been rejected by Harvard! This article lumps together grants, contracts, tax deductions, etc. It is brainwashing Fox nonsense. How? OK: First: ANY non-profit does not pay income tax and generally does not pay local property taxes. Like many non-profits, they generate a lot of income that generates a lot of taxes for local, state, and federal governments. Second: Grants: Ivy League schools are not excluded from applying for research and other grants from the federal government. And guess what - these schools that often do top-quality research - are pretty competitive when it comes to applying for research grants. Third: contracts - sometimes the government needs things done, and contracts services from these universities. An example I can think of is a university-owned research nuclear reactor used to generate radioactive isotopes for research, medical diagnosis, and medical treatment. The government is a customer. Fourth: not surprisingly, many students that attend these universities are eligible for government grants and scholarships.

We have a large non-profit in my community that is largely supported by the government. Outrageous! Oh - it's a hospital, which in Florida more than half of the patients are on Medicare or Medicaid. Maybe that's not such a bad thing...

You may have a point when it comes to government contracts, research grants, and tax-deductions. However, it is absolutely true that Ivy League Schools are just bursting with cash profits, and they could give a free education for the next 51 years of graduating classes. This is partially a result of so many rich people donating money to them, and the Federal Government subsidizing every student who cannot afford their greater than $50 Thousand Dollar a year tuition. If not for these government subsidies, they would be charging magnitudes less for tuition. Perhaps there is something wrong with the tax system or with the definition of "non-profit." I question whether they generate a lot of income for local and State taxes, because they generally do not produce any products that are taxable.

That was a cute kid with lots of spunk, and a very entertaining interview, but despite her nascent conservative ideology, I can't take her very seriously. She is 11 years old and hasn't had sufficient time or experience to grasp the wisdom behind any adult ideas yet. There is no guarantee that she will not eventually grow up to become a raving Liberal Bernie Sanders supporter.

It's not a reprint from "Breitbarf", but I did check out their site, check this out:
ABOUT

The EKP act as a counter to the prevailing Marxist bias in the media, academia & western culture.

We seek to bring honourable men & women of all ethnicities together under the banner of Western 'culturalism', national patriotism, love for Western civilisation, the preservation of our unique cultures, Christian heritage & individual national sovereignties.

We seek to re-instil p***e in people through the promotion of European high culture & by exposing the Marxist and internationalist mechanisms employed to subjugate us.

We are inspired by the fact that the only culture PROHIBITED from having p***e, is the one that's given the globe the most.

The people that built the Roman & British empires, colonised North America, Australia New Zealand, built South Africa from a spit of sand to the great nation it once was - have seen their accomplishments denigrated. We at the EKP think this is unfair.

Still, we are not a w***e s*********t site or h**e group and condemn all forms of r****m.

If you want unapologetic pro-Western views, penned by elite Western men with conservative & traditional Western European values, that value honour, believe in the natural order, & fight to preserve what's worthwhile in our shared western civilisation, then you're in the right place.

If you're looking for racially charged rants, h**e speech, or conversely-politically correct drivel, move along.

Thanks for visiting our site and god bless.
In Jesus's name.

This is directly from their site and what they are "ABOUT". For me it sounds more like Bannon and his thought process than an intellectual insight into liberals and their ideology. What I find humorous is the title, Lunatics, Sociopaths and Malcontents are words or words with similar meanings used to describe the Trump campaign and now Trump and his administration.
Personally, they can state they aren't w***e s*********t or r****t and therefore do not tolerate such behaviors, I find that a little hard to swallow. if they aren't then they come very close to crossing the line. Their wording sounds more as if they are protecting their asses rather than seriously disendowing either white power or r****m.

Even though the article seems kind of over-the-top, that description of the group, or website, or wh**ever, sounds pretty good to me. What have you got against it?

You just don't get it do you? NATO and the UN both are behaving differently after Trump made the statements that he made, the member nations of NATO had been shirking their responsibilities and not funding their defense to the levels they committed to when they signed on for NATO, they were bilking the American taxpayers to pay for their country's defense, Trump said enough is enough, we don't really need NATO under these terms, since Trump threatened to withdraw from NATO or reconsider our commitment to NATO member countries are recommitting to their defense budgets, and if they don't then Trump would be wholly justified and reexamining the US commitment to NATO. So far it seems that things are working out pretty well, there was a press conference today with the head of NATO where he acknowledged Trumps strong position on "burden sharing". America can't be expected to toe the line for Europe and Asia, but that has how it has been ever since the end of WWII and it is not fair to the American taxpayer and to the generations which will follow us, Trump has scored a homerun on his stance on NATO, they are working on strengthening NATO and member country's understand that the US does expect them to meet their obligations to the alliance, something that no other president has done.

As far as the UN goes, until they take themselves seriously and stop putting countries where sharia law is practiced at the head of the human rights council, or stop allowing countries like Venezuela to participate on human rights committees, or if they continue to insist on bashing Israel while backing Hamas... well then they to are pretty useless and the fact that we pay about 30% of the cost of the UN, it does not seem in the interest of the American people to continue with the farce that is the UN. Trump is having an impact there as well, Nicky Haley was an excellent choice and has had a great impact on the way that the UN is doing business. Again, we pay the freight while other countries bilk the American taxpayers. Trump is putting an end to this.

I wonder what you will complain about when Trump gets the economy going, probably too much traffic.

Steven,
Just because I may be a liberal or in this instance believe in the liberal ideology more so than the conservative right, doesn't mean I'm ignorant to the fact that we as a country can not defeat all those out to ambush or breakdown our American spirit. Throughout Trump's campaign he spoke many times in how we didn't need NATO, the UN or our ally supporters, specifically when he spoke of Mexico and that horrendous wall, when in all actuality we do. With N. Korea rallying, Syria, with Putin standing firm behind them, and god only knows which terrorist group is plotting against us now, we are very vulnerable. Rather than break ties with our allies and pissing off various diplomats and chancellors, Trump and his administration needs to learn how to work systematically with them so that we don't end up in another war or police action so that we save lives rather than ship coffins home.

What I believe is that not every Muslim is a threat to us.

That doesn't mean I don't believe that there are Muslims who do mean us harm.

I was basing this largely on what I have seen right here on the Hedgehog. Whenever some right-winger posts a story about Muslim Terrorism, the Liberals are all over him about what a h**er he is and that this fear of radical Muslims is all bogus.

I don't know any liberals who would be ok with isolating us to the point of being defeated by other countries. Maybe you heard this not from liberals, but from right wing pundits on TV or radio who tell you what liberals think?

The reason I bring it up is that many Liberals completely discount the threat coming from the Islamic Jihadist World, especially Iran (Even a Conservative, Ron Paul is in this camp). I might also add that the Obama Administration tried very hard to play nicey nice with the Russians during his entire tenure. Hilary made of big show of hitting a "reset" button in front of the Russian Ambassador to show that the old mistrust of Russia by previous administrations was a thing of the past.

Steven, But, America cannot survive in this world by isolating itself when there are countries determined to see us defeated. Also, without our key alliances we have established throughout the years, we will not survive alone. Hopefully, someone has reached Trump and he realizes this and his attitude regarding Germany, England and our other crucial allies are essential when dealing with undesirable people such as Assad and Putin.

I am heartened to hear a Liberal like yourself acknowledging that America cannot isolate itself in the World, when there are countries determined to see us defeated.

This may be well and good, but nobody has addressed Green's original question about why are people okay with Trump saying during the campaign that he was going to stay out of the Syrian conflict? In fact he pretty much campaigned on an isolationist position.
