Actually these people is sick. Fear is their disease and hate it's manifestation. It's scary also what these people can do, even overthrow the government! Timothy Mcveigh did a lot of harm, probably alone. Think what 100 of them can do! It's sad that people can be deceived into believing that the white race is by itself the masterpiece of Gods creation. The whites have done a lot of good and cool things, but also have their share of ugly wrongdoings.

Very nicely put Benjamin :)

The site doesn't load for me ? Oh well . I have a " friend " who wants to join the Aryan Nation , but living here , he has no real connections . Now I can only speak for my own small part of the world , but it appears to me that such beliefs feed upon themselves . I mean , my friend blames everything on " those people " , and his own beliefs prove that he is correct in those beliefs . For excample , once he was upset because a group of kids called his son " white trush ". But with all the bs he has pumped into his son's head , the other kids were just giving him a taste of his own ... which I pointed out to him .

It is a very narrow view of life and the world , and one that requires work to maintane . :( As for your question Ness , yes my friend voices his opinion even alone . If you hadn't noticed , these people don't tend to be the brightess of the lot . And every time they get beat up or whatever , it just enforces that they are correct , to their way of thinking .

I agree with you 100%. I couldn't have said it better.;)

I've never talked with a card carrying Aryan Nations member, but I did spent a few days with a generic white supremacist two years ago. He was a bit suspicious at first, but once he determined that I wasn't Jewish he opened right up. Apart from some worrisome Nazi-style tattoos there was nothing of the angry, gun wielding, beer swilling, redneck about him. He was perfectly polite and hospitable and we spent hours discussing history, Jewish conspiracy theory, &c. He was very well-read and quite the evangelist. He left me with a reading list of what I suspect is largely racist, revisionist tripe, though I have to admit I haven't read any of the recommended books.

The Nazis among us are not all shaven headed, jack-booted thugs. They bring casseroles to the church picnic, they are scoutmasters, they coach Little-League baseball.

Beware the "banality of evil."
Remember Heinrich Himmler? He was just like that. Icy coolness, lack of emotional lashing out, but very, very evil. Head of the SS and Gestapo. Beware of the quiet ones more.

Many of the Nazi leaders were perfectly ordinary people, placed in an extraordinary situation. People have an amazing ability to emotionally isolate themselves from the consequences of their actions. Stanley Milgram's famous electric shock experiment demonstrated this beautifully.
