Bet you can't say "white right wing terrorists" three times real fast.

Bet it morphed quickly into "whitewing", which of course makes an apt neologism. What unites these people isn't some abstract theories about economics and how to organize a government, but their identity as white people, and their existential fear of a world where whiteness might not be an advantage, but might mark one for retribution...nothing revealing in that worry about chickens coming home to roost, oh no.

Apropos the question on another thread about the required degree of pathology to join the GOP, I'd note that this illustrates that there's a broad range of beliefs to the right of normalcenter, and I'd wager not all of our Zone conservatives would endorse those sovereign bundinistas. Or maybe they would. Not a peep so far. Maybe you two of the litterae duplices are scaring them.
