As for the cold war, you mean the war that... I don't know, didn't happen. Not as if our genius ideas to prevent it such as training Al Queda, deporting(unofficially through blacklist) all our best movie directors, and Vietnam really did a whole lot.

Perhaps we can burn some crosses, that might help.

Well, I actually think it's more likely that Obama is going to remain in office another term if you look at the poll numbers (Palin's makes me laugh). But as Mark Twain once said "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." I also hope you aren't the one advocating "bombing Afghanistan into a democracy" (which is sort of what we're doing with the Predator drones), but I digress. Don't you think this is getting a bit off-topic? I thought this thread was about that Nazi punk band.

Apparently, we're on the road to becoming the third largest economy. Right below Japan with China as first.

And don't get me started on our educational rankings...

Great point.

Of course, everything is ineffectual.

I can see the merits of tribalism over multi-culturalism, at least for those who would choose tribalism is it were even possible but what I can't understand is why it has to be so tied up in hatred for the other. Still I have a soft spot for almost any form of radicalism. I guess that's why I get a kick out of the naughtiness of a band like Skrewdriver. Hate is not something I feel I have to hate. Like I mentioned before, the deepest beauty I've found in this kind of hatred can be found in Prussian Blue and black metal.

Not only does the outcome of the Cold War prove this, so does the amazing state of fiscal strength the Occident finds itself in.

I'm gonna go with the nation that has the world's largest economy (USA), the worlds largest airforce (the USAF), the worlds second largest airforce (US Navy), etc. All this spending on advanced fighters and bombers is necessary if we ever expect to succesfully bomb Afghanistan into Democracy.

What democarcy is that? White sheets and burning crosses? troll harder.

Oh okay, so not the world's largest nation then. Thanks for letting everyone know how misinformed you are.

yawn! are we gonna discuss Skrewdriver's music or not?

I find their cover of "Road to Valhalla" pretty good, and in a positive Nordic race supremacy sense (it was originally a White Lion song)

Not posting here to re-hash an argument. Screwdrivers first album is a really fantastic PUNK album. I actually like a few songs off of their other albums, Most notably When the snow fell. While they delved into white power lyrics after the first album, that doesn't take away from the fact they could really write some intense and poignant lyrics. I wouldn't say they are memorable to many but they often take a hit for their beliefs and thats a bit of a shame as they had some talent.
