Uninhabited land is settled. Inhabited land is stolen.


Native Americans were constantly stealing land from each other. Sounds like you only expect white people to act morally. Are you a racist?

Except they weren't doing it through biological warfare and genocide.

They were the humane ones, I'm sure.

Not resorting to those two things does indeed sound more humane than doing so.

I don't see a point in comparing the various methods of barbarism. The point is that people like to focus on Europeans stealing land from Native Americans, while totally ignoring the previous conquests by Native Americans on other Native Americans.

It's funny because they have this idea that if people killing each other look alike, it's not as bad as white people killing brown people. Muslim Arabs killing Muslim Arabs in the Middle East? Not on their radar. American drones killing Muslim Arabs in the Middle East? Huge catastrophe. It's the kind of race-based thinking that plagues the mind of the liberal.

What's funny is that Trump has turned out to be one of the more moderate candidates of the GOP this cycle.

He's not really a Conservative. He has taken anti-war stances, anti-lobbyist stances, and recently praised PP.

And yet, he is leading in the polls. He did well in Iowa, won NH, and looks like he poised to win SC.

4 of the past 9 Republicans that got greater than 20% in both Iowa and NH won the GOP nomination. If Trump wins SC, it's going to be a nightmare for the GOP. He is simply a problem that won't go away despite party leaders' and Fox News' best efforts.
