That website is really fascinating from a social rhetoric perspective. I find it interesting when groups use the language of a siege mentality- I’m alone against all these other voices that are more powerful, etc., and then go on a more offensive “we’re the real America and we can make ourselves heard” kind of bent. Decidedly interesting when you consider the racial, social and geographic make-up of said group.

And you have to admit that “we surround them” has a decidedly sinister ring. Reminds me of “from beneath you, it devours”. But I guess that just makes me a nerd.
