158. With all the Indians and African Americans we killed, how come it's OK to talk about that?
If another mass killing incident or rise of fascism, -- subject of a recent book "It CAN happen here", in reply to Sinclair Lewis --

Then it's OK to scrap the bill of rights because most liberals nowadays are "relativists" who believe that universal rights is a catchy turn of phrase but the reality is either more "nuanced" ("universal rights are not always universal") or more simple ("I don't believe in abstractions, only what can be scientifically proven")
