The people of Iowa should be ashamed.

Fuck anyone who has subjected us to this fucked up regime in Washington.

said my brilliant daughter in 2000.....

And what's wrong with that?

I've been reading different materials about the desperate problems facing "the Arabs," definitely not least the terrible destruction that is being wrought on their lands by climate change and disappearance of fresh water.

Then there is the little matter of a planetary shift away from petroleum to alternative forms of energy, with the prospect of disappearing oil revenues.

There are growing rifts between Islamic sects. Areas where they once lived amicably, often not bothering to care about differences, are growing fewer.

There is the cultural advance-crippling conservatism that forms in very challenging, hot-climate regions. Killer heat, disappearance of farmland, more wars, starvation, negative conservative responses only being fanned to more when they desperately need to seek new ways to combat the enormous threats from change.

And more. Almost all governments have always been centralized authoritarian, deeply embedded in culture and religion. People in trouble will look to strong leaders for protection.

Has your brilliant daughter ever visited an Arab country?

He defeated his Democratic opponent 61%-30%. Looks like Iowans are right on-board with this asshole.

Glad I left.

The voters that keep supporting him are just as racist as he is, but they have the advantage of hiding what pieces of shit they really are, by declaring their beliefs in the voting booth!

Well . . . .

eastern Nebraska.

"I'm originally from Iowa and I'm excited now to be out of Iowa....it took a long time for me to realize that we were free to leave!"

Watch the clip of a very young Jake Johannsen (being introduced by a young Robin Williams!):

They had Democrats in statewide office and their legislature was passing liberal stuff like gay rights

with his genes-cause he thinks American cultural values can only be transmitted to "our" children. Does he think Europeans and Americans never borrowed.?

Who are our children--do they include African American children? whose ancestors were building America since before the Revolution.

So glad he is emboldened speaking out and making his noxious philosophy clear and drawing the connection between the Republican party's opposition to women's health and rights, anti-scientific thought, and weird white superiority ideology.

Meanwhile I am looking at children's heath statistics for Kentucky. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul have made a big mess there. When grown men like King, McConnell, and Paul, for whom we provide heath care, can leave half the children in Kentucky with diseased teeth there is sometime noxious abut King's ideology.

We need at least 50% women in our legislatures because far too many white males are mired in primitive beliefs of male superiority. They cannot compete on a level playing field and are holding our civilization hostage-trying to make us as backward as they are.

they've already tried to deport Native Americans for looking Latino. And they have discriminated against Latino families who have lived in Texas before it joined the United States.

For the record, some countries do have constitutional quotas for how many women must be in their legislatures.

It's like the inmates are running the Asylum....and evil ones with a dark heart to top it off.

He sure is not a Native American so he is a descendant of immigrants like most of us. So it is an entirely white nationalist thing.

Liberals better get off the sofa and show up to vote in 2020 and not ignore local, school boards, nothing.

There are more of us but we need to get as rabid and invested as the foaming at the mouth right.

Just his district!

But it looks like they are flailing to get all the power they can and do as much harm as they can before they become irrelevant. Pretty sure that's why they are killing health care, immigration and environmental protections. So they can kill off as many poor and minorities as possible thinking that they and their rich families won't be affected.

Humans are a bag of mixed flavors and there are far more of us than there are of them. We can never stop fighting against these assholes. Keep them out in the sunlight where everyone can see them for exactly who they are.

reproducing themselves. On the plus side, the rest is environment, and that's advancing away from that kind of bigotry.

Funny that King imagines he's protecting American culture, when he represents an angry counterculture, of a type always with us but also always losing.

We have always been a nation of immigrants, Americans ARE basically all "someone else's babies," and our laws and dominant culture have always reflected liberal principles of tolerance and equality.

Probably should scratch Iowa off their list. I say this, and I live in the Eastern part of the state.

that conservatives are, for the most part, reprehensible scum.

And another thing - not enough babies!? What the shit! The human population on this planet is so outrageously bloated it would be amazing if we can continue to support it at this rate! Just more stupidity from him, no surprise.

The elephant in the living room is overpopulation.

Racists want more of a certain type of people, and less of the other types.

be proud!

My mother told me that even in school, they were taught that they must have lots of babies in order to continue to keep their culture and American values. She was horrified by it even then.

Definitely part of the good old USA.

very early in his administration of germany...welcome the the 2nd Reich.

'The Passing of the Great Race' was also hailed by Teddy Roosevelt as an important work. You can find the roots of republican ideas towards race, poverty, disability and other social issues in there, based on long discredited scientific theories. A lot of trumpsters with names ending in vowels would be disappointed to find out that their white skin doesn't make them part of the great race.

Madison Grant bio:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Grant

teddy was a first class racist.......my grandfather served with his 'famed' Rough Riders in Cuba. San Juan Hill that made teddy a 'war hero' was according to my grandfather somewhat of a cake walk compared to the hill the AA soldiers were ordered to take 'Kettle Hill'. But teddy being of american white elite, got the lions share of credit just because, well I won't belabor the point. ...much lower casualties, also no surprise. First hand account...talking with my father in my favorite place in grandmother's house, the kitchen. So large airy and caught all the light, all day.:love ya: She was my favorite person in the whole world, still is. America is a sad place to reside in when the true history is known of this countries growth. I learned a lot as a young boy in that beautiful house in Georgia. I so miss those days of my innocence.

I also learned to "suck it up, get real".

like an excerpt from a novel. I knew teddys charge up San Juan hill was overblown myth. But in what little reading I had done about it, which was years ago, I never realized AA regiments bore the brunt of the fighting for the heights. As you said, America is a sad place to reside in when the true history is known of this countries growth. And it scares the hell out of me that the racism and social darwinism espoused by white elites like Teddy Roosevelt and Charles Lindbergh and soaked up by the white masses until the 1930s is becoming mainstreamed again.

first hand stories and experiences of AA soldiers who served from my family in the military, including mine in Vietnam. It was exciting, scary and sad to the point of confusion. My father did pass it on, as his father and his father did.......I have a lot of that oral history always bouncing around in my head since I have a novel of those experiences that has been in the works for years.........now that I'm retired I am working on it much more....

You seem to have the literary talent, and a treasure trove of oral history, to share with a wider audience outside your family. I'd buy your book in a heartbeat.
