Rep. Steve King: ‘We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.’

David Duke heartily applauded the sentiment.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has long been a friend to the European far right.

He’s hobnobbed with the leaders of hardline anti-immigrant parties across Western and Central Europe. He’s touted his “friendship” with Norbert Hofer, the 2016 Austrian presidential candidate for the Freedom Party, which was founded in 1956 by a former Nazi officer. And he’s made no secret of his support for French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, leader of the nativist party National Front.

After meeting with Geert Wilders and Frauke Petry — anti-immigrant demagogues from the Netherlands and Germany, respectively — in September 2016, King even tweeted a photo with the aphorism, “Cultural suicide by demographic transformation must end.”

But on Sunday of this week, King embraced language that is incendiary even by his corroded standards. In a tweet once again supporting Wilders — who is in the final days of his latest bid to become prime minister of the Netherlands — King said: “Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”

The tweet also quoted from “Voice of Europe,” an “Anti EU / Pro Europe / MAGA” account that frequently promulgates messages deriding Muslim immigration and endorsing far-right European leaders such as Wilders.

1. "Restore our civilization"?

He avoided using the term "master race." But you know that's what he's thinking.

2. Remember when America used to be praised for being a "melting pot" for cultures....

I despise King and his ilk. Their open bigotry and white supremacy is now being flaunted without any pushback. It's amazing how quick those ideals can take hold and become of readily accepted.

5. Trump Rant:

Please excuse a little all over the place, but really annoyed:

Pres. Trump claims that his goal is to “Make America Great Again” but in actuality, his slogan and his goal ultimately means, “Make America White Again.”

This can been seen in more than a couple instances the first and most important is his feeling towards President Obama. He has lied about where President Obama was born, that his investigators were picking up amazing info in his investigation of President Obama in Hawaii. Which had to be a 100% lie because there was nothing unusual to find because President DJT ultimately capitulated and agreed with 99.9% of the world that President BHO was a “real American.” Just watching him eat those words you could tell just how disgusted he was in having to admit to the truth.

President Obama’s first win was wake up call to those in power because their power base was shaken and they were going to do everything in their power to derail his presidency. As we all know, they announced this intention with Senator McConnell infamous quote of “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

Then with the 2nd victory, those in power with to DEFCON 1. So, Sec. of State Clinton really had little chance of winning because they were going to do anything to make sure that the first African-American President was not followed by the first Woman’s Presidency.
POTUS who cries wolf, almost daily, about something, and is so inaccurate that if it was not effecting the Country I love I would be laughing so hard I would cry. But unfortunately the tears I cry is due to his reckless undermining of the Progressive Movement and achievements that help shape our Country into the greatest socioecological and Military country in the history of the world.

The second instance is centered on the immigration of people to this great country. The travel ban, the wall, and denying the refugees who have lived life in some of the most hostile and oppressed conditions in the world to be able to live in a safe, secure, and free land. I often wonder if the refugees were from Ireland, England, France, or Denmark; would his convictions about refugees still stand?

So ultimately to achieve his goals and gain power so he could reshape what America looked he had to find a scapegoat for all the ills in America, so people would believe he could fix their ills. He named undocumented immigrants, followers of Islam as the root causes of everything bad about America. These are those who should shoulder the majority of blame (in his opinion) of what ills America.

So as he and the GOP role out their Legislation and present their wish list. Ask yourself, does it push us towards America being more equal or does it push us apart with more power, privilege and wealth going to those who already control the ppw.

Make no mistake DJT and the GOP are doing everything they can to do an about-face and undo as much of the progressive Movement as they can while trying to destroy the legacy of President Obama.
