Originally posted by Charles View PostWhen you write: "And what other "culture" produced democracies? Human rights?

If you do not believe in human rights it seems strange to list it as a justification for finding the West superior.
Article 8 is vague and sounds bad. It talks about rights given by the constitution or granted by law. And it is totally backwards. And it pretty much makes the constitution self-contradictory. If the constitution is producing rights, that means the changes to the constitution thereby can take away rights. That means there are no true rights.
They have a weird right -- "the right to a nationality." I'm not sure what that means.
The UN document promotes democracy instead of a government restricted in is powers by a constitution. But the UN doesn't want countries either -- they want governing zones that erase national borders.
[edited in...]
There is no clause saying that the rights of the people shall not be restricted by the UN, constitutional changes or laws.
Article 28 is scary : "Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and
freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized."
Do we also have the right not to be part of the international order that declares itself to be in charge of everything? The UN was formed by agreement of national leaders. In the States, such treaties are not allowed to give up rights of the people. So there can not be a transfer of power from the people to the UN.
Article 30 virtually says that no one can act against the arbitrary ideas espoused by the UN: "Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or
person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the
destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein. "Last edited by mikewhitney; 12-05-2019, 12:56 PM.

You and Kingsgambit are well-trained, reacting Pavlovianly to 'white nationalist' and 'racist'. 'How dare no one take Charles' claims with seriousness like we do????!?!!? He said 'white nationalist after all!!!!'' That's sad.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Sad to see this forum become home to white nationalists then. This is not the TWeb I remember, nor one I want to participate in, especially when the same people who are declaring themselves white nationalists are also claiming to be Christians. I'm out.

SPLC not only has zero credibility, with a very shady history, and this has been addressed to Charles before, but again, the term "white nationalist" especially by this group has been leveled at any conservative (including Christian organizations they've dubbed as "hate groups" because of their stance on homosexuality) who's vocal about illegal immigration reform, in fact, I doubt they even have to be white. Charles is basing his entire argument on a faulty premise, that SPLC is credible, and that we even have a clear definition of what "white nationalist" is. Maybe if he had defined what HE believes white nationalist means and how that pertains to Miller, it would have helped the OP.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI think you're being overly sensitive and missing seer's point. He's not claiming to be a classic white nationalist (the belief that white people should remain dominant, and that white culture should define national identity), he's simply pointing out that the term has become so broad and distorted that it now encompasses points of view that years ago would not have been considered white nationalist.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Adrift, I think you're reading more into other poster's responses than you need to.
The OP cites an article in the Guardian (which I think is fairly left-leaning, and anti-Trump).
The 138,000 signatures comes from a site paid for by AOC. Notice that "more than 100 members of Congress" are claimed to have called for Miller to step down - but no details given. Why not? What parties are they from?
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, quoted in the article, as I already pointed out, is an advisor to a Democrat-loaded organisation, thus a partisan source.
The article also cites the SPLC (a bastion of neutral analysis of all sides of the political spectrum / sarcasm) and a CAIR spokesman (who presumably doesn't like anyone associated with Trump's immigration policies).
In short - a bunch of accusations from people who all have a political axe to grind with Trump and the Administration.
An accusation of being a 'white nationalist' - labelling and smearing from people who have an agenda. The term is broad and vague enough to be hard to refute and seen as ugly enough to damage credibility. Miller might be a hard core racist for all I know, but Charles' OP doesn't provide any credible evidence to show that.
He has managed to get people to get upset with each other, though, so I guess that's a win for him.
If Starlight, JimL and Shunyadragon called you a homophobe I'd take it about as seriously....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...
