Go back to your White Power websites and masturbate in privacy.

His reply essentially eats away at the principles of civilization. If you
look at FOIA laws and policies, the notion of due process, the right to
question one's accusers, etc.; it all hinges on the supposition that
"because I said so" is not a wholly satisfactory reply.

That being said, his point of view seems to be not easily provable outside
the neo-Nazi meetings at the trailer park, i.e. from Wikipedia:

Some legal and financial experts note that CRA regulated loans tend to be
safe and profitable, and that subprime excesses came mainly from
institutions not regulated by the CRA. In the February 2008 House hearing,
law professor Michael S. Barr, a Treasury Department official under
President Clinton,[64][108] stated that a Federal Reserve survey showed that
affected institutions considered CRA loans profitable and not overly risky.
He noted that approximately 50% of the subprime loans were made by
independent mortgage companies that were not regulated by the CRA, and
another 25% to 30% came from only partially CRA regulated bank subsidiaries
and affiliates. Barr noted that institutions fully regulated by CRA made
"perhaps one in four" sub-prime loans, and that "the worst and most
widespread abuses occurred in the institutions with the least federal
oversight".[109] According to Janet L. Yellen, President of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco, independent mortgage companies made risky
"high-priced loans" at more than twice the rate of the banks and thrifts;
most CRA loans were responsibly made, and were not the higher-priced loans
that have contributed to the current crisis.[110] A 2008 study by Traiger &
Hinckley LLP, a law firm that counsels financial institutions on CRA
compliance, found that CRA regulated institutions were less likely to make
subprime loans, and when they did the interest rates were lower. CRA banks
were also half as likely to resell the loans.[111] Emre Ergungor of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland found that there was no statistical
difference in foreclosure rates between regulated and less-regulated banks,
although a local bank presence resulted in fewer foreclosures.[112]

I want to see him stopped for a traffic violation. That would have to be a
YouTube video moment. I can see him tracing his ticket to Jews and African
Americans in the police department.
