Well, Thomas Frank...We're Waiting

Whatever was wrong with Kansas may be getting worse.
This Miller person killed three people, and was continuing to scream Heil Hitler while handcuffed
in police custody, in  police car.
Why did this man go to Kansas to enact his grotesque expression?
He killed a physician and grandad. Could a man ever be more than a dad, a grandad, and a physician?
This man was. He was on a trip to be with his grandchild! How could anything be better? I don't see
how it could be.
I wonder if this nut knows history? Germany would have won WWII had they embraced all their
citizens.
I tried to read Mein Kampf. I couldn't hold it in my hands. Does this American killer
know Hitler was German? Does he realized Hitler is dead? Dead the way Pol Pot is dead. He was
a madman who mass killed his own citizens.
How does this creature figure this is a country for "white people" only?
White settlers destroyed the warrior class of Native Americans with Smallpox, Syphilis, and Tuberculosis. Whatever weakened fighters remained were slaughtered by these same settlers and the
British Army.
What is glorious about that?
Then these settlers were still too uninformed to work the land they stole, so they kidnapped African
people and enslaved them to get the work done. Africans had brought for  crops in the harshest
climate on earth. But again, is something glorious about that history?
I think antebellum has been needlessly glorified by a lot of Americans. Brutality, not skill, character,
intelligence, morality, or even ordinary humanity and industry was most of what it took to drive a
nation committed to slavery.
The various races and nationalities in this country had to be here.
Thomas Jefferson didn't want immigration but he acknowledged the U.S. would have to embrace it
if slavery were abolished. Guess what? Slavery was abolished.
Could we have won WWII ourselves without Jewish scientists? No. We were barbarians compared
to those scientists. Robert Oppenheimer, Leo Szillard, Lise Meitner, Neils Bohr, and so many more
worked tirelessly day and night to develop the weapons which saved the bacon of the democratic West.
At least one of those scientists knew he was in danger for his exposure during weapons develoment' and he did eventually lose his life.
There is no basis whatsoever for anti-semitism in America.
And if people believe their ancestors were original white settlers they should know Miles Standish
could barely spell or write with grammar. I've read original source materials he's written.
And some people claiming "the founding fathers" are themselves relatives of rather recent immigrants. They are in no way relatives of these "founders".
I won't ask Miller if he is crazy. Clearly he is worse than crazy. Thank heavens he will be charged
with a hate crime. He killed a grandad and a grandson and a Catholic lady whose mom obviously
needed her. I would ask him however, if he knows why he is insane. Why?! There can't be thinking
involved. Perhaps these people feel the somewhat inevitable arc of the moral universe. If so, maybe
they should patiently go with it. A white man defined it even before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
used it in the U.S. civil rights struggle.
The Corcoron grandad and his grandson were Methodists.
