Xenophobia is the new racism.

I would argue there isn't really any difference in the two.

You are right, but xenophobes are more socially acceptable than racists. Its kind of like intelligent design vs. creationism.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I was always taught to treat the two words as synonyms (well, I wasn't taught that per se... I just noticed that people used the terms interchangeably).



Immigration to Europe should be stopped completely. At least for a decade.

There's too many problems on so many levels. Let things calm down and take measures to assimilate the masses of immigrants who are already here before letting new hordes in.



I am honestly glad that America is getting more Mexicans rather than more of a culture like Muslims. This country is already religious enough!

You don't think Mexicans are religious? I spent the first 35 years of my life in Texas and New Mexico. Never met a Mexican who was not religious.
