What Neocons say when you're not around (or Taking a Conservative Cruise)
July 19th 2007 02:47
Johann Hari, writing for the Indepedant UK, published an astonishing article on AlterNet. She took a cruise sponsored by the National Review for conservatives and the conversatives that are even more conservative than conservatives.
Read the article!
It's shocking because most of us would never imagine that people would say things like this: hatred, fear, segregation, warmongering... it's all there.
Some choice quotes:
As a visible minority, I'm never really privy to any of these sentiments... modern society is astonishingly 'politically correct', meaning that dark sentiments are hidden beneath the surface.
I hope that the article is objectively written and the quotes stand up within their context. This is an ugly side of America, and one that, perhaps, needs to be outed.
A quote for the road:
"The quality of an immigrant is inversely proportional to the distance travelled to get to the United States."
In other words: Latinos suck."

Some choice quotes:
"The Muslims are breeding. Soon, they'll have the whole of Europe."
"Just take a couple of these anti-war people off to the gas chamber for treason to show, if you try to bring down America at a time of war, that's what you'll get."
"I went to Paris, and it was so lovely." Her face darkens: "But then you think - it's surrounded by Muslims."
"thank God for Fox News"
A Filipino waiter offers him a top-up of his wine, and he mock-whispers to me, "They all look the same! Can you tell them apart?"
"The coverage of this war is unbelievable. Even Fox News is unbelievable. You'd think we're the only ones dying. Enemy casualties aren't covered. We're doing an excellent job killing them."

I'm not surprised they say all that, most societies have these few individual a-holes, it's sad because the entire society is always defined by those few.
Though it's fun knowing I can scare a boat load of passengers simply by my complexion, makes me feel powerful
Here are the pics from the cruise: Really Long Link
