Grand Island, Nebraska, is the state's largest settlement outside of the eastern cities and its people are glad to let you know that. But as much as I honestly do love old 'Crank Island' myself; this is all and exactly what it is, simply the largest out of a string of outstate market towns. The Census Beuraus standards for what make a 'metro area' are entirely too loose. Any place where the central city is not a true city of at least one hundred thousand is not a 'metropolis', and you need only stand in the middle of GI's free-parking downtown to feel that the place is nothing of the kind. Be sure that you don't get too big a head about yourselves provencals.

It's surely no coincidence that the first South American pope is one generation removed from Italy and quite possibly the bluest-eyed fellow to hail from south of Dallas. But he still isn't white enough for that WASP worshipping Quisling Pat Buchanan. As an aside.....
"Consider the idols to which European Man has burnt incense since losing his faith: Darwinism, Marxism, Bolshevism, fascism, Nazism, now globalism -- the idea of a secular paradise where mankind's needs are met by the state"
I've seen several variations of this sentiment before and it never fails to floor me. In what universe is 'man's needs being met by the state' a remotely new idea. Surely these people aren't stupid enough to really beleive that government helping people is an idea that Karl Marx invented out of whole cloth, some philosophy of what government should be instead of what every form of government physically is. Ay.
