What is multiculturalism to you, Ridge?
Is it oil and water somehow mixing, briefly, due to agitation? Or is it the appreciation of commonality and a recognition of the beauty of created persons in deference to their (so often denied) Creator?
Which white men? The Spaniards who assisted the Indians who built the San Miguel Mission in Santa Fe, at which I attended Christmas Day Mass with people of all colors -- a building built over a century before a bunch of Deistic Freemasons declared their freedom from an invalidated monarchy (cf. Belloc's "Characters of the Reformation")? Or the Indians too -- does their wholsesale adherence to a set of values invalidate their melanin; were they just a bunch of mission injuns (i.e., house ni...)?
What about the statue I have of the 1st century Israelite cousin of Christ, St. Jude? Not dark enough? Ok:
What about Julia Greeley? A woman whom I have yet the honor to meet, but I really truly hope I meet her one day, forever?
What about the mulatto, St. Martin de Porres, whose third-class relic I have on our home altar and to whom we pray for intercession nightly: is he a WASP because he'd despise the ruination of mankind into what Hilaire Belloc (an ethnic half-breed if there ever was one: French and English, ugh) described as the New Paganism?
Maybe John Levi from Louisiana... he and I see eye to eye (though he's likely about 10" taller than me); I'd stand with that man any day...
Or, going the way of distance ideological cousins, perhaps Mark Felder aka Bizzle....
He'd not down with the program:
And: where did I call anyone a shill? You mean the guys I met who were also definitely in (Geoff Millard, Garrett Reppenhagen, Jeff Englehart, etc.) but were trying to recruit folks into a Marxist movement with ending the war in Iraq as a vehicle to do so, using the same methods Alinsky described in Reveille for Radicals (not to be confused with Rules for Radicals -- yeah, I read both)? They weren't just shills, they were true believers. They were also too stoned and reactionary to have raised the money themselves. Just go over to thisainthell and use their search for Iraq Veterans Against the War. First result is about Mike Prysner, a communist.
I was into that whole scene and even wore my IVAW shirt to see a buddy off to Afghanistan:
So please don't tell me I'm making stuff up -- I knew those guys and what they were and assumedly are about.
As for Saul Alinsky, here's a primer:

There's a ton of info out there on him and his methods and students (cough, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, cough)

DelFuego, I don't watch Fox... it's too left for me. We do have a "TV" but it's really just a glorified computer monitor which enables us to watch DVDs and my son to watch Peppa Pig and Thomas the Train on YouTube.
But you misunderstand if you think I'm saying that every single person there is some sort of plant. Not the case at all, and that's what makes it so frustrating and sad. The people there are most often there thinking that their personal reason for being there is somehow connected to the reality of the organizers. That's simply untrue. When I hung out at the Occupy COS demonstration (pathetic as it was), I met a lot of really kind people. They simply did not understand the machinations turning the gears behind that movement as a whole. It was a protest buffet: Support Palestine, Down with the 1% (whatever and whomever that is), Earth First, etc.; they didn't realize it was a movement funded by Marxists insofar as the propaganda impetus, the initiation of the movement, etc.
They were very useful idiots.
Now that your acquaintance and all the others have provided legitimacy to this "womens" movement, they have done the majority of their job.
Questions: Do you think the money from SEIU, Soros, etc. just funds cancer research and pictures of fluffy bunnies in flowering fields for office wall pics? Do you think that, even if this were an organic protest, that the string pullers of social chaos won't co-opt it? Do you think any movement with political clout really gets off the ground on its own?

I can't take credit for these but found them hilarious.

CavSct1980 - you provided alot of material to go through. I watched the videos despite of my loathing of rap in all its forms, the message in those videos is clear.
Hilaire Belloc - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...hilaire-belloc I disagree with his sentiments about Jews, being jealous of successful people is never pretty and there are plenty of Jews who aren't millionaires and "rule the financial world".
Geoff Millard - http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=5858
Garrett Reppenhagen - I googled him and all kinds of leftist organizations were on the first few pages. This was the first link that came up thoughhttp://danaloeschradio.com/a-navy-se...merican-sniper
Jeff Englehart - A vintage link to Little Green Footballs when it was conservative -http://littlegreenfootballs.com/arti...Jeff_Englehart LGF is now a rabidly communist (D) website.(After returning from his tour of duty, Englehart has signed up with the Cindy Sheehan circus.)
Anyone who hasn't been dead for the last 8 years should know who Saul Alinsky is.
I put in bold what I think some key words are:
People need to research the groups they go out and do work for, it is this laziness and ignorance that the (D) is counting on when they promote a cause that "sounds good".But you misunderstand if you think I'm saying that every single person there is some sort of plant.

Anyone else think the next 4 years will be a constant "war on women" campaign? Sort of the next BLM movement?
