FOR WHOM THE BELL CURVE TOLLS:
I'm delighted to see one of my colleagues finally get over her unaccountable moderation. No longer calling only for the invasion and forcible conversion of our enemies, she is saying "I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning". But later in the same interview, she once again shrinks from the cold-bloodedness needed to carry her own ideas to the limit. She potentially transcends the qualms of any timorous conservatives over quick technical fixes for social ills, propounding a new science-fiction scenario that would avoid the need for that awful cloning to generate a vast political machine, when she says

"During the gay-marriage debate, these black ministers would come on TV and say things no white conservative would say. 'Sodomy? You’re going to burn in hell for that!' And I realized to my delight that if we can get blacks to be conservatives, we have an entire race of Ann Coulters...."Why does she fail to follow through on this? Think of it as affirmative action with a reverse twist. It opens a whole new field of demographic political reconstruction. Could it be that America is so righteously Republican today only because of its large black population? Look at the socialist policies of the almost totally white nations like Canada, Scandinavia, and the (very) low countries. Even England's racial minorities are mostly Asian, not African. To reclaim Old Europe for conservatism, do we only need to send them several million new citizens from our own ghettos? If she's right, this would not only knock out the last major prop of the Democrats here, but add lot of cultural braking power to oppose elitist collectivism over there. We also reduce the welfare burden on our own taxpayers, while assuring the emigrants bigger checks from their new nations. It sounds like a perfect win-win solution for everyone.
