i did not know that west point people smear each other.
but this much i know people that flash their credentials on CDF feel the need to so to make their point rather than relying on their writing skills or the common sense embodied in their arguments.

The whole point of this forum, is to express your inner feelings and thoughts on a specific topic, whether others agree or not.

Who cares if he is or isn't, he is expressing his opinion and that is his right.
I'm just asking if his perspective is from that of a white nationalist. He has made many statements which seem to indicate he has a problem with blacks and Jewish people especially.

They are right. Right wing domestic terrorism is indeed the biggest real threat to the US right now with thousands of individual violent attacks each year.

The Taliban are "in" right now and any political group that resembles them is under fire. Here in the US we have the far right TeaPartiers whose crazy antics have resulted in a bottom of the pit 32% approval rating and a cause for concern for many citizens.

It strikes me as very, very odd you could claim that a report "reads like democrat propaganda" if you haven't actually read the report - which you just confirmed you have not.

I was 30 pages into it when I posted that comment, and I stand by it. I'll also say this, the people who wrote it deserved to fail history class.

Keep in mind that West Point Academy was founded by the government and has always been supported by the government.

As government changes and becomes more socialist and totalitarian, it can't come as a complete surprise if West Point does to, if that's what they are doing.

It's a single author. And West Point thinks highly of him. He's the Director of Terrorism Studies at West Point.
