I have an issue with this, basically the same issue Justice Scalia had, though he could never say in publicly. If you believe in a textualist, originalist interpretation of the US Constitution how can you claim "white Nationalism" as if it's some sort of anomaly? the men who wrote those documents were, to a man, white Nationalists. "For ourselves and our posterity.." Not for Africans, Asians, etc.. The US was founded as a European nation. And to all those who wan to whine about "muh Native Americans," tell that to the people of constantinople, who got a lot worse deal than the Indians ever did. They were taken from the greatest city the world has ever known to die as slaves.
NO nation, NO people, have a "right to exist" as Dr. Scheuer always says. You have a right to defend yourself. The same Darwinian principles apply, you take your chances.
What the Ud Gvt is doing now (and since Ted Kenneddy, Jacob Javits, and Emmanuel Cellars in 1965) in conspiring to change the ethnic makeup of the US by mean of stealth should not have been permitted.

The nation, at the time, was ~90% White and all 3 of them stood before the US public and SWORE that the bill would not change the ethnic makeup of the US.

now, some 50 years later, we are not he cup of being a minority in our own nation. Hell, we may even already be. Estimates for illegals run from 12 million to 22 million.

No. No one was ever arrested. The Senate never handed out any civil or criminal penalties to anyone. Asking someone a few questions isn't against the Constitution.

>>2228670
People were arrested you retarded burger, the Hollywood 10 were sent to jail. And numerous more were blacklisted so as they could not find work in their profession anymore, as well as the social stigma that ruined a person.

>>2228687
Commies aren't people so it's okay.

Nah, it was number three. Lincolns suspension of habeas corpus was one, PATRIOT Act was two, HUAC was three.

>>2228687
They Hollywood 10 were arrested for contempt of Congress, not for being Communists. No violation of the Constitution there.

>>2228730
>If someone wants to be a racist or National Socialist, and associate with organizations that are they should be allowed to.

Okay. And the government isn't allowed to ever investigate such groups under any circumstances. Cool.

>>2228719
Where did I say Scalia was White? Scalia, as an Originalist, believed in intercepting the Constitution exactly as the cultural milieu of the time was set up. Would behave been considered "White" then? Debatable, but as an Italian, even a Sicilian he certainly qualified as part of the European fraternity.

You have to learn what "Originalism" means in legal terms. The constitution is taken as it was meant to mean then and for the people it was meant to serve then, and changes can only be made to that through amending it. the constitution is not a "living document." It marked out a very specific time and place and was written to the specifics of the morals guiding that group of people and what they wanted for their ancestors.

There was no threat but artificial ones made up by McCarthy and most of the people accused never were actually either.

It was a witch hunt that scoffed at civil liberties.

>>2228759
The investigation itself was illegitimate. Even if these people were Communists it still does not justify it.

Useful idiot. The Soviets had a fifth column. The point of the investigation was to find out the exact extent it. Doing that requires an investigation.

No civil liberties were ever violated.

>>2228811
There was no threat. It was a witch hunt against people perceived to be enemies with no evidence.

You don't start taking away rights out of fear of infiltration regardless.

>>2228820
>There was no threat.
And they would have found that out how? By carrying out an investigation you say?

>It was a witch hunt against people perceived to be enemies with no evidence.
And how would they gather evidence of these people being enemies or not? By carrying out an investigation you say?

Why are you ignoring Article V and Amendment XIV?
>All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Sorry. The US government was founded as a nation that could amend its constitution, and did so. On July 9, 1868, America explicitly stopped being a European nation. Therefore, to a textualist or originalist, the only way for America to become or stay a European nation is to stop naturalizing non-Europeans. Even then, America is only 63% white, if that's satisfactory enough to call it a European nation, sure then, it's a European nation. That's a matter of semantics. Otherwise, any attempt to re-Europeanize the gene pool of the American population would violate the constitution, or make whites the only American citizens, would strictly and eminently violate the constitution.

Venona proved McCarthy correct. There's a historian who's head of the 20th century political history archive at the Library of Congress, John Earl Haynes, and he wrote a book on McCarthy, placing names that show up in Venona and those named by McCarthy. Over half of those named by McCarthy were security risks and 9 would have been dead to rights. Saying McCarthy "lied" or was even incorrect is blatantly false.

>>2228557
There was also the Sedition Acts, and Lincoln straight up declaring martial law in Maryland. And the early FBI gunning people down in the streets.

>>2230903
Thank you for making this post so I don't have to.

McCarthy was more or less correct. Communists really were operating in Hollywood and acting as Soviet agents.

>>2230919
Not as much in Hollywood as popular myths would have you believe (even McCarthy avoided the Hollywood issue), but definitely within the U.S. government itself.

So you can turn the US into another Mexico, ruled over by a handful of White elites who treat you like scumbags? I've been to country clubs in Mexico where they bring in bergs from the Caribbean so they don't even have to look at you.
you mexicans seem to think that by moving northwards (which you only did after the White man dealt with the Indian threat and created wealth) you are going to automatically develop White intelligence and work ethic. doesn't work that way. Demographics is destiny.

>>2228659
>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

>>2229127
Yes, spouting the equal protection clause still doesn't change realities on the ground. At the time Mexicans and others were not a problem since the country was not run by...certain elements trying to change the demographics to divide and conquer for "that group's" own interest.

the "qual protection clause" was interested specially as related to blacks, nothnigto do with Mexicans since they had no interest in living in the Us until the White man had created wealth and taken care of the native Indians who enjoyed scalping and had torture pits in their village.

From the 1920s until the gates were opened wide by Jacob Javitts, Emmanuel Cellars, and with Ted Kennedy as their dupe, the Us had a law in place to keep the demographics as they were.

Exactly what do you think is going to happen to the US once it is no longer majority White? It's going to become a hybrid or Mexico and Brazil, probably even worse, assuming it does not Balkanize.

you seem so happy that your kind will be "taking over," yet I assume you crossed the border because you wanted heat, electric, internet, and all the other benefits you get from living in an organized White majority society. When you turn a nation into one with the demographics of a 3rd world nation, you will get a third world nation. That's a maxim as old as time: "Demographics is destiny."

you think you are so brave and "fight da White oppressor!" Go look on Zimbabwe and South Africa and see the future that awaits you.
