[As RR has argued for some years now, we Americans are competing with our enemies to see who will be the first to destroy the historical United States of America.  So far, we are winning.  Thomas Sowell echoes this with his 3aug22 ‘The Point of No Return’ that opens with, “This is an election year. But the issues this year are not about Democrats and Republicans. The big issue is whether this nation has degenerated to a point of no return — a point where we risk destroying ourselves, before our enemies can destroy us.”  gjr]

    Republicans reached a new lopw by cheering racist Viktor Orbán who was keynote speaker at the CPAC convention in Texas. Here is a quote from him earlier in the month published in the Guardian:
    ““We [Hungarians] are not a mixed race … and we do not want to become a mixed race,” said Orbán on Saturday. He added that countries where European and non-Europeans mingle were “no longer nations”.
    Orbán has been making similar claims for years, but these comments were couched in stark far-right terms.”

    Paul proudly voted for a perv who liked to stroll around naked needlessly in front of SS women agents and fondled a young girls nipple on camera. He called a black man standing next to him “my boy”.

    Did Orban get a black man to stand next to him and call him “my boy”?

    “He was an admiral, a doctor, and now he’s a congressman and he sort of indicated doctor was the best, because he loved to look at my body. It was so strong and powerful,” Trump said.

    Orban’s racist comments condemned in Europe but not by Trump Republicans in our country who celebrate him with standing ovations.
    “Such unacceptable statements, which clearly constitute a breach of our values, also enshrined in the EU Treaties, have no place in our societies,” the leaders declared.
    In his speech, Orbán said migration had split the West, arguing that countries where European and non-European people mingle “are no longer nations: they are nothing more than a conglomeration of peoples.”
    The proclamations provoked ire across Europe. Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu called the statements “unacceptable.” Former Hungarian Prime Minister and opposition leader Ferenc Gyurcsány called Orbán a “tragedy.”

    As far as Orban’s opinion about massive illegal migration destroying a country’s sovereignty – it’s not racist in any way and he’s totally correct.
    Still waiting to hear what racist thing Orban said at CPAC that the Rs were cheering him for.

    Don’t know if you were talking about this time (one of many), but of course the father did not complain. The Father is Senator Chris Coons from Delaware and Creepy Joe knew full well that he can do whatever he wants and Coons would never complain. Besides, Democrat Senators are fine will pedophiles and deviates and not protecting other’s children.
    Complain? Surely Punchy jests. Who would Coons complain to? Stolen Valor Richard Blumenthal? The Senate Ethics committee? Biden was VP at the time, not a Senator. License to feel.

    Orban is a racist Scott. Just because he didn’t say the same things at the CPAC it doesn’t mean he didn’t say them. It was all over the news and still the Repubs invited him and gave him a standing ovation.

    PaulE 829am – Do you know the difference between a declarative statement and an interrogative (i.e. a question)? My question did not imply the forceful removal of people from anyplace. But it did posit that if some cohesive group of people did establish themselves someplace legally and without harming anyone else, would they then have a right to maintain those cohesive parameters that define their community? Should people have such rights? Try to analyze and answer the question within your own belief system, and avoid your usual habit of diverting by putting wrong words in other people’s mouths.
    From my studies and experience, it is people who deny such rights today who are the actual authoritarians and autocrats who demand to control every aspect of other people’s lives. I’m sure you have sensed none of this.
