Questions for a bigot

Are you a racist?

Yes and No. If you were to ask people who know me in real-life whether or not I was a racist I’m certain that all them would answer that I wasn’t.

At the same time though, I do hold politically-incorrect views on the subject of race that might lead to some people applying the label ‘racist’ to me. My views don’t affect the way I treat people though. I’m actually very liberal and PC in my attitude towards any foreigners I come into contact with.

Why are you opposed to immigration?

I’m opposed to the current rate of immigration into Ireland because I think it’s too high and because I think it will lead in the long-term to an erosion of our national identity.

In addition to the massive unplanned increase in population, which will place huge pressure on our infrastructure and our under-funded public services (schools, hospitals, prisons), immigration could cause ethnic tensions in southern Ireland similar to what we already see in the north and in many other parts of Europe. Probably the best argument against admitting another massive influx of foreigners - look at what happened the last time.

But isn’t immigration good for the economy?

Not really. The MigrationWatch-UK think tank did a report on this and they found that the average benefit to each man, woman and child in Britain was only around 4p a week, about enough to pay for a small mars bar every month.

When people say that Immigrants are good for the economy what they usually mean is that they add to the growth rate. But economic growth in itself doesn’t mean anything. All it means is that there is an increase in the amount of economic activity in a country due to the increase in population. It doesn’t mean that each individual in the economy is necessarily better off. I’m not aware of any evidence showing that immigration has resulted in any increase in the amount of disposable income that people have at the end of each week or that their spending power is greater because of immigration.

Immigration is also not good for the economy because it keeps wage levels down for the least well off people in the country. It makes it much more difficult for unemployed people to find work because the competition for jobs is so great and because the wage levels are lower than they would without immigration it pays the unemployed better to stay on the dole.

 

But look at all the immigrants who are working in this country, the economy would fall apart without them.

That may be true in the short term. I wouldn’t be in favour of rounding up all immigrants in the country and shipping them out overnight.

It should be remembered that many immigrants are employed in jobs for which there is really only a temporary demand. Something like 40% of them are employed in construction. Once the housing boom wears off, the demand for their labour will also wear off so they will no longer be needed.

But IBEC said we need another 500 thousand immigrants over the next few years to fill skills and labour shortages?

Let them fuck off.

Do you know what an extra 500,000 immigrants will mean? Another 500,000 people would double the number of immigrants in this country and bring the non-national population up to near a million people. Would you really like to see the number of immigrants in this country double? Do you not think we might have enough as it is?


What about the Irish who emigrated….

Good old WATI. You can tell liberals are losing the argument when they have to resort to playing the WATI card.

There are three things that can be said in response to this:

First, it’s not correct to say that Irish people emigrated all over the world. If Irish people emigrated how come we’re still here? The fact is that some Irish people emigrated but most of us remained behind. As we stayed behind in Ireland we have nothing to feel guilty about.

Secondly, the Irish weren’t the only Europeans to have emigrated in the last two centuries. Millions of Germans, Italians, Poles, British and Scandinavians also emigrated to other countries. You never hear the WATB card being played in Britain though and I imagine it’s probably the same with those other European countries. It only seems to be in Ireland where we have a guilt complex about our past that some people feel the need to raise this every time the subject of immigration is discussed.

And thirdly, it’s irrelevant. A country shouldn’t make important decisions based on some perceived debt owed by a previous generation. A country should act on no other basis than what is in its own long-term national interests. If immigration is good for this country then we should support it. If it’s bad then we should oppose it. Each generation should not have to bear responsibility for the actions of a previous generation. We will be making decisions today that will have an impact on the kind of country that our children and grandchildren will be living in and so we better be sure we’re making those decisions with a clear idea of what the long-term consequences will be.


Alright then, forget out the past, what about the present generation? There are thousands of Irish people working illegally in America, isn’t it a bit hypocritical for people in Ireland to call for an amnesty for them but at the same complaining about the illegals in this country

I agree that it’s hypocritical for Irish people to call for an amnesty for those people while at the same complaining about foreigners working in this country. That’s why I don’t agree with the government’s attempts to persuade the Americans to let them stay.

I think the government should be working with the immigration authorities in America to bring those people back here, particularly as we are supposed to have such a high skills shortage in this country.

It’s obvious as well that the media is playing this up just so they can turn around and shout hypocrite if Irish people should express unease about all the illegals in this country.

So what would you do then? If you were in power how would you deal with the problem of immigration?

There are several things I would do. For a start, I would reverse the decision that our government made when they went behind our backs and opened our borders to Eastern European immigrants. I would impose the same restrictions on Eastern Immigration that most other EU countries did at the time of EU Accession two years ago.

Secondly, I would issue every immigrant currently working in the country with a two year work-permit, which would be renewed onlyif there was a clear need for their labour in two years from now.

Thirdly, I would take a tougher stand against illegal immigration and penalise more heavily companies employing illegal immigrants.

The government is spending an extra 100 million euros this year on Foreign Aid to third world countries. Instead of wasting that money on some corrupt bonga-bonga country in Africa, we should spending that money on keeping the kind of people out who would lead to us becoming that kind of country. 

You said you hold politically-incorrect views on race, what are those politically-incorrect views?

I believe that races differ in their innate abilities. For example, I believe that Chinese and Japanese people are harder working and more intelligent than Europeans.

I believe that Black Africans are athletically superior to other races and that that explains why they perform better in most sports than whites and Asians.

And I believe that White Europeans are more creative and inventive than other races and are better at creating and maintaining the kind of societies that people want to live in.

Do you believe black people are intellectually inferior to white people?

I do. But then I also believe that white people are intellectually inferior to Chinese people and that Irish people are intellectually inferior to English people.

Black people are less intelligent than whites, what do you base that on?

I base it on three things.

- The results of IQ tests which show an average IQ of just 70 for pure black Africans in comparison with the white average of 100 and the East Asian average of 105

- The higher occurrence among black people of behaviour indicative of low intelligence such as low academic achievement, crime and teenage pregnancy

- The low contribution to human civilisation made by black Africans in comparison with Asians and Europeans

IQ tests, everyone knows they were designed by white supremacists and are culturally biased against non-Europeans.

If that was true you would expect White Europeans to score higher than other races, when the evidence is that they don’t. East Asians and Jews actually score highest on IQ tests.

IQ tests may have their flaws but then there’s nothing stopping liberals coming up with a fair and unbiased test that would objectively measure intelligence in a way that would be acceptable to everyone. So far I’m not aware of any attempts to devise such a test.

Are you aware that Irish people have a lower average IQ than the average of other European countries?

I am aware of that and sadly I believe there is probably a strong genetic component to it. I would be in favour of attempts to raise our low national IQ through moderate eugenic measures such as removing the incentives for the skangers and the white trash to have so many children.

What’s the point though? What difference does it make if a country has a low average IQ?

It makes a huge difference. IQ level is one of the most important determining factors in how well a country performs economically and culturally. Professor Richard Lynn of the University of Ulster wrote a book about this called IQ and the wealth of nations which showed a very strong correlation between average IQ and per capita GDP.

Low IQ people are also a massive drain on resources as they are more likely to be involved in social problems like crime and unemployment. The fewer of them there are in a country the less money will have to be spent dealing with those problems.

 

I don’t believe that black people are less intelligent. I know a Nigerian man and he’s one of the most intelligent people I know.

I know a woman who’s over 6 foot tall and she’s one of the tallest people I know. I still believe that women are smaller than men though.

You said that Chinese people are more intelligent and harder working than White people, so shouldn’t we expect them to be good for the economy? Why are you opposed to letting them in?

Yes they would be a great asset to this country, as would the thousands of Poles and Lithuanians coming here, but my opposition to immigration is not based on what I believe will be best for the economy. To me, immigration isn’t an economic issue; it’s a political and cultural one. I’m an ethnic tribalist. My loyalty to my Irish tribe makes me want to see our genes and our culture preserved into the future. If we keep on going the way we are it’s doubtful if we’ll survive as an ethnic group into the next century.




Do you hate Jews?

No.

Do you not think the Jews are behind all the wars and all the bad things that have happened to white people in the last 100 years?

I don’t know enough about the subject to have an opinion on it. I’ll have to wait until Mel Gibson brings out his autobiography.

I used to work with an Israeli and we became good friends so I can’t say I hold any personal animosity towards them. I think Jewish Neo-conservatives played a major role in getting America into the war in Iraq but that doesn’t really affect Ireland. I know they hold enormous influence in the media in America and Britain but how that effects political decisions made in this country regarding immigration, I’m not sure.

Do you believe the holocaust happened?

I do.

An bhfuil gaeilge agat?

Cupla focail - nios mo na Gerry Adams. Ta me fos ag foghlaim an teanga.

Are you religious?

No, I’m an atheist.

Apart from immigration where do you stand on other issues?

A united Ireland

I would love to see a united Ireland and I would like to see our government doing more to bring it about. To me it’s a question of identity. I’ve always considered myself Irish rather than republic of Irish and so it’s natural that I would want to see my country united.

 

Are you a republican?

No, I’m a nationalist. I’ve never hated the British and I dislike the pathetic culture of victimhood that goes along with that tradition of republicanism.

 

So you didn’t support the IRA then?

No, I did not. I think they did more harm than good, and we’d be nearer to Irish unity today if the provisionals had never existed. I think the way that catholics were treated in the north up until a few decades ago justified a certain level of defensive violence in the 1960s and 1970s, but the cause of Irish unity in itself I don’t think justified the taking of a single life.

So are you a provo-basher?

No, I’m not. I can’t stand those smug, sanctimonious bastards.

Are you a unionist?

Yes, I would like to see a union of the British Isles as an alternative to the EU. As long as it wouldn’t involve sacrificing any more of our sovereignty than we’ve already sacrificed to the EU, I think it would be a good thing. Such a union would make the prospect of a united Ireland much more realisable.

The Iraqwar?

I thought it was the right thing to do to dispose of a brutal dictator and make the Middle East safe for democracy

really?

No

Abortion?

I would be in favour of legalising it in Ireland but only if, as a compromise to the religious people, the word ‘abortion’ was changed ‘baby-killing’.

gays?

The bible says that two men shouldn’t lie with each other.

I thought you said you were an atheist?

I am, I was just expressing a factual statement. What?

Global warming?

I think it’s a major world problem and it’s something I’d be worried about. As for what causes it or what can be done to stop it, I’m not sure. If the world is getting warmer I’d be sceptical that we can do anything to stop if happening. Even if we manage to drastically cut carbon emissions, who’s to say that what’s happening isn’t irreversible.

I keep meaning to read Michael Crichton’s book State of Fear to hear the other side of the argument. Until then though, I see no reason to doubt the consensus scientific view on the issue.

Muslims?

I don’t know enough about them so I don’t know if they’re as big a threat to Western Civilisation as some people make them out to be.

I don’t see any reason to single them from other immigrants anyway. As long as they stick to their part of the world and leave us alone, I don’t see any problem.

Quotes from the fringe

“The most important thing to remember is that if you ignore a problem, it will always go away. For example, the British ignored the problem of immigration for decades, because a) the left-liberals said it was racist to discuss the issue, and b) immigration would never present a problem. And they were right, for one day the problem simply vanished.”

- Kevin Myers, “The Irish Independent”

Introduction

Alright, I suppose I should give an introduction to this blog and explain its background so that people might have a better idea of what this is all about. Reading my previous posts you might notice that I take a negative view of mass immigration and the impact that it’s likely to have on this country. It’s not because I have an obsession with the issue that makes me focus so much on it in my blog. I don’t actually feel all that strongly on the subject of immigration. My views are about representative of most Irish people.

I do feel strongly about the need for people to make their views known on the subject though and that’s why I set up this blog. I think there has been far too little discussion of immigration by mainstream politicians in this country, unlike in other European countries where these issues are discussed openly. This has given the liberals an excuse to brush aside any opposition to what’s happening as the ranting of small extremist fringe, a fringe that is unrepresentative of the people as a whole. This is despite the fact that according to a poll carried out by the Irish Times (see here) in 2006 found that 70% of the population believe either that we have too many immigrants or that we have enough as it is. 

In this blog then I want to add my voice to that despised minority of people on the internet (stormfronters we’re normally called by those liberal bigots on boards.ie) who don’t tow the PC line on immigration and multiculturalism. I’m a patriot and would be fearful for the future of my country with this current massive uncontrolled wave of immigration.

Regarding my political beliefs, I would say that I’m a nationalist with conservative views on taxation and human nature and liberal views on most social issues. I would be in favour of legalising abortion and gay marriage and for taking tougher action to prevent global warming. I think that, apart from immigration, Irelandhas changed for the better in the last twenty years, with the declining power and influence of the Catholic Church and with our improved living standards and quality of life.

At the same time though I think the decline of the old catholic priestly hierarchy has resulted in a power vacuum that has been filled with a new secular priesthood that is just as sanctimonious and just as condescending in their attitude to the great mass of the population.

It’s that smug preistly caste that I would hope would be pissed off with what I have to say in this blog.

Quotes from the fringe

“Indeed, in my view mass migration and the management of immigration is now the greatest challenge facing all European governments. We have to get away from the notion thatanyone who wants to talk about immigration is somehow a racist.”

- John Reid, British Home Secretary

Message for the stormfronters

I know that a lot of people reading this blog will be members of the Stormfront Ireland website and I just wanted to say two things to them. I’m a nationalist and I’m as opposed to mass immigration as you are, but I think the way that some of you behave is disgraceful and justifies the negative opinion that many people in the media have of the site.

Firstly, I don’t like the way many of you refer to ethnic minorities. I would prefer if you didn’t use such crude racial slurs as “nigger”, “wog”, “towelhead” or “chink”. People have no choice over what race or nationality they’re born into so why use such offensive and degrading language to label them. I don’t think you’d like it if you were a minority in someone else’s country and someone started using similar language against you.

Secondly, it seems as though many of you direct your anger at the immigrants for what’s happening to this country. The immigrants are not to blame for what’s happening. The people to blame are the politicians and the people in the media who want to ram multiculturalism down our throats against our will.

This doesn’t apply to all members of stormfront as I know there are a lot of intelligent and thoughtful people who post at that site. At the same time though, I think there is far too much tolerance shown on that site for extreme racist views.

Another quote from the fringes

“We haven’t had any debate in the Dail on immigration, even as Ireland undergoes the greatest demographic alteration since the Famine. Ay least 10% of our population is foreign-born. We have primary schools where 20 languages are spoken and no lessons are taught… yet even with these dramatic transformations occuring before our eyes, we have no strategy to deal with immigration, because we have no policy; and we have no policy because we have had no debate. Instead, we have an all-prevailing, glutinous sanctimony which makes a virtue of having no debate at all.”

Good for the economy

I noticed on the MigrationWatch UK website they have an article (read here) confirming what many of us have always suspected - that mass immigration is far less beneficial to the economy than pompous journalists and politicians would like us to believe. Based on an analysis of official government figures by the migrationwatch think-tank, the net benefit in financial terms (we all know the cultural benefits are priceless) for each member of the population of Britain has been calculated to be about 4p a week, or the equivalent of a small mars bar a month (that’s right, a small mars bar not even a big one). When you do the maths, 4p multiplied by 52 equals £2.08 a year.

I don’t know if these figures could apply to Ireland as well but even if it turned out that immigration was twice as beneficial to the Irish economy as it is to Britain, the results still aren’t all that impressive. Damn it, why don’t we just for arguments sake say that they’re 4 times as beneficial and see what that implies. $2.08 in Sterling, when converted to Euros (using this) is about €3.90. Multiply that by 4 and you get €15.60.

If every man, woman and child in the state gets an extra €15.60 a year because of immigration what would that mean exactly. According to the 2006 census, the population of the republic of Ireland is currently 4,234,925 people (taken from here). When you multiply €15.60 by 4,234,925 you get €66,064,830. So immigrants contribute over €66 million to the Irish economy every year. Sounds like a lot until…

According to this, the Irish government is planning on spending €773 million on foreign aid in the year 2007. 66 million as a percentage of 773 million is about 8.5%. It means that for all the money that some foreigners are adding to the economy, our own government can afford to spend ten times as much of our own money on other foreigners.

Questions for immigration supporters

I posted this thread on the boards.ie website last week but it was closed down

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055034184

I don’t know how practical it will be to continue on the discussion here but I’d be happy to respond to people’s comments.

I’d particulary like to hear from the ‘immigration supporters’ (I know I should have come up with a better term) and hear how they answer some of the questions I put to them.

Any comments left by moderators of the boards.ie politics forum will be deleted.
