The only difference between these guys and the Teabaggers?

These guys are more open with racism.
And that includes the current batch of GOP Presidential candidates.

Peter Brimelow: States Like Texas Must Consider Secession To Protect ‘White Rights’

Submitted by Mikayla Bean on Thursday, 5/21/2015 9:38 am

Speaking at the white nationalist American Renaissance conference last month in Tennessee, conservative author and onetime CPAC speaker Peter Brimelow argued that instead of promoting unity, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day “has just turned into anti-white indoctrination.” Unless “cultural Marxists” who are behind “political correctness” and “the war on Christmas” are resisted, Brimelow contends, the U.S. will collapse.

Texas is only barely more 'white' than the US average (80.3% v. 77.7%); but White non-Hispanic is actually only a plurality there - 44.%, compared to 62.6% for the country as a whole. Not surprising, of course, for an area that was part of Mexico for a long time. It seems an odd place for a white nationalist to choose to make his stand in.
