The European style of living is seductive: fewer hours worked, more hours at the cafe, less concern over self-betterment. But that style of living does not produce a purposeful life.
To the European immigrant - that is, to the aliens who have been converted into Americans by the advantages of American life - the Promise of America has consisted largely in the opportunity which it offered of economic independence and prosperity.
You have one big mythology in your favor: Everyone believes that you Europeans are impeccable. But I know you are jerks.
I like independent films... European films. I do go and see popular films as well because my kids force me.

The descendants of European immigrants do not govern the United States of America today. The foreign and domestic policies of the country are made by the Jews and their lackeys.
And so by the fifteenth century, on October 8, the Europeans were looking for a new place to try to get to, and they came up with a new concept: the West.
I don't call myself a white supremacist. I'm a civil rights activist concerned about European-American rights.
