Conservative Heritage Times

Jason MacDonald writes:

In 1997, Peter Brimelow and Ed Rubenstein wrote a cover piece for National Review, Electing a New People, which argued forcefully that, if not checked, the demographic changes brought forth by mass immigration would doom the GOP to a minority status.

Brimelow and Rubenstein simply noted that, assuming the white share of the Republican vote and the Democratic share of the minority vote stayed constant at the level of 1988, the 2008 election would be the last year the GOP would have 50% of the vote.

This argument was ignored by the GOP Establishment. And shortly thereafter William F. Buckley purged Brimelow and Rubenstein from National Review, alongside Editor John O’Sullivan, and replaced them with the likes of David Frum and Ramesh Ponnuru.

Both Ponnuru and Frum claimed to support some immigration restriction. But they attacked conservatives who really meant it. They both were particularly hard on Pat Buchanan, whom Frum called an “unpatriotic conservative” and Ponnuru accused of practicing “identity politics for white people”.

Citing Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “unprecedented” defiance to their commands, the Feds seek to intimidate a law enforcement officer who enforces laws they don’t like.

The Obama regime has hammered the people of Arizona with three lawsuits and an indictment in a report to the United Nations to punish them for resisting Latinization.

Let’s hope the people of Arizona stand behind the sheriff who stood up for them.

Wow! This is news to me.

I wish Pastor Baldwin luck, but I’m not sure how I feel about this. Like I’m not sure how I feel about the Free State Project or Christian Exodus. To move somewhere because there is more “freedom” there strikes me as overly ideological. One essential insight of paleoism is the value of family and community above mere abstractions. This seems like downplaying the former to seek after the later. You can’t just plunk unconnected people who are united only by an idea down anywhere and expect a coherent community to arise. Community is organic. Plus, Montana may be more “free,” but is it more Christian? The Panhandle of Florida retains much of its Southern and Bible Belt character, unlike anything below Tampa/Orlando.

Since I am now posting at Independent Political Report, I’m trying to synthesize a bit my nuanced feelings regarding third party participation. I posted this at IPR. What does this audience think?

Word comes that Bill Walker (see comment 11), who lost the Republican primary for Governor of Alaska , has contacted the Alaska Independence Party about possibly appearing on the AIP ballot line. I made the following comment (edited somewhat) in the comments section and thought it would be a good subject for all to discuss.

As a matter of general course, I think these types of “sore loser” candidates should be avoided unless there were some clear shenanigans or manipulation on the part of the major party that could be exploited. (Such as clear efforts on the part of the establishment of the party to suppress the defeated candidate.)

Running under the banner of a third party simply because you lost in a major party primary seems to me to lack class and has a desperate feel about it, and it reinforces the image of third parties sitting around waiting for scraps from the major parties’ table. The claim that they are doing it to give voice to their supporters doesn’t ring true to me.

Discuss.

I like to re-read my non-fiction books of mine many times over and it drives my wife absolutly nuts. But a book’s worth is not how much dust it gathers but whether reading again helps bring about a new perspective or reaffirm old ones or prove the worth of its words over time.

Two books I’ve just re-read or in the process of reading are Broken Heartland by Osha Gray Davis and Harvest of Rage by Joel Dyer. Both writers are Lefties but the books accurately describe how globalization and deindustrialization of America’s rural sector deveastated rural America and this was before mass immigration and the meth epidemic left their marks after the mid-1990s. I started re-reading both books given my posts on the topic “To Be Poor and White in America” because many of these poor live in the rural ghettos we’ve created.  People would like to view rural parts of the country as a repository of American values and it can be that way. But it also contains some of the pathologies one finds in ghettos and barrioes all over the world. The quicker we realize and understand this the better and these books go a long way to pointing out why such things happened and what the consequences are.

Some other reading of interest:

Another good one from Glenn Greenwald. Anyone who says they weren’t warned about Iraq is a liar.

J.J. Jackson’s latest: “The Economy Should Not Be a Rube Goldberg Device”

Chuck Baldwin’s latest: “We need a Revolution not a Movement!” Perhaps Glenn Beck should read this.

From Sartre at BATR: “Public Employee Unions Guarantee National Bankruptcy”

Haven’t heard from Frosty Woolridge for a while but he’s back with this piece.

I and I’m sure most others would like to “move on” (now there’s an overused phrase) as President Obama said last night from the conflict in Iraq and I’m sure there’s a feeling the country can if U.S. forces can just blend into the scenery like they have done so in Germany, or Korea or Japan.

 Well, maybe Japan is not a good example.

In any case, even if U.S. forces tried to be invisible it would be hard to do so in Iraq. The “infidel” couldn’t hide themselves in Saudia Arabia which only helped to fuel the terrorism of Al Qaeda, they cannot just blend into a Muslim country like Iraq. Instead, they’re big fat targets for Al Qaeda bombers and probably Sadrists looking to gain popular support and “street cred” for attacking U.S. troops.

Iraq is just another base in the empire, one that will drain more treasure and pin down more troops in order to keep it stable. No claims of budget cutting by any politician this election should be taken at face value unless the U.S. deals with its foreign policy. You cannot run an empire on the cheap as Donald Rumsfeld found out and so long as the politicians endorse it, government will be just as big as ever no matter times they talk about privitizing Social Security.

Apparently, there is some momentum underway to protest the upcoming movie “Machete” because of its strong anti-white message.  Judging by the original trailer (before it was cleaned up), some people suggest that the movie celebrates mestizos murdering European Americans.  They say the movie was released “to green light” violence against whites, especially whites opposing mass immigration.

Here is the poster circulating around the internet:

The pro-war, any-war crowd is glomming onto a Congressional Budget Office report that shows Obama’s ill-fated stimulus has cost more than current appropriations on the ill-fated Iraq War.

Now that’s a devastating argument: “Our boondoggle cost less than your boondoggle!”

Americaneocon gloats:

“And how’s that “stimulus” working out? Well, the worst is yet to come.”

Of course, the same is true of the Iraqi War. von Rumsfeld said it would cost $50 billion, but projected costs, including caring for the horribly wounded, will be closer to $3 trillion.

And that’s not even counting the cost of future reprisals in revenge for what US forces have done to Iraq.

So when do the Iraqis begin construction of George W. Bush Square? They must be mighty grateful to their liberator, who has wrecked the Iraqi nation, including its economy. That project could provide work for Iraq’s 5 million orphans.

James Cameron called out climate change skeptics to a debate and then chickens out. What a wuss.

Last March James Cameron sounded defiant.

The Avatar director was determined to expose journalists, such as myself, who thought it was important to ask questions about climate change orthodoxy and the radical “solutions” being proposed.

Cameron said was itching to debate the issue and show skeptical journalists and scientists that they were wrong.

“I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads,” he said in an interview…

And then, yesterday, just one day before the debate, his representatives sent an e-mail that Mr. “shoot it out ” Cameron no longer wanted to take part. The debate was canceled.

Some unsolicited advice for Mr. Cameron: if you are going to talk tough you best be willing to back it up. Otherwise keep your big mouth shut.

Christianity does not exist in a vacuum. It absorbs and adopts indigenous traditions wherever it spreads. In Europe, during the latter part of the Roman Empire, a distinctly European form of Christianity took hold. Melding European paganism and Christianity, Europe gave birth to syncretized holidays like Christmas and Easter. Yet, there is no reason why Christianity should or must be European. Christianity, growing in non-Western areas, will adopt and absorb other, non-Western, traditions. As Philip Jenkins has pointed out, as Christianity spreads throughout the Third World, Christianity soon will not only be non-Western, but probably anti-Western.

The following excerpt is from a documentary on Christianity in Latin America and the rise of “Mestizo Christianity” in Mexico.  Discarding unnecessary European baggage, Mexico, borrowing from its Amerindian traditions, gives birth to a new, non-Western variety of Christianity. As the narrator in part I of the documentary states, “the white way is not the only way to salvation.”  Here he gives us Christianity “Mexican style.”  He comments:

What’s going on now is not a pagan survival, but Christianity Mexican style.  It’s much like when Pope Gregory wrote to St. Augustine in the 6th century during the English conversion to Christianity.   He wrote, “Don’t destroy their religious traditions; simply adapt them to Christianity.”  And it worked.  What happened then founded Western Christendom.  What’s happening now is part of a New Christendom.  The fact is, Christianity has never been just the white man’s religion.

A Mexican man interviewed in the video continues:

In Mexican religious history, the Virgin of Guadalupe is half Indian, half white — or rather indigenous. And therefore her face, and the way the friars wanted to represent her — they wanted to show a virgin close to the Mexican people — a dark version just like them, not a blond European one, but a dark one. That’s the main idea. The virgin appeared here and she loves her people, her dark people.

Yesterday, I wrote that Beck’s rally at the Lincoln shrine was a snare and delusion; instead of a call to restore liberty by downsizing the central government, it cheered on the aggressive, unrestrained use of force at home and abroad under the fig leaf of promoting civil rights.

Sarah Palin’s speech at that rally confirms my view. Here’s a partial transcript:

There in the distance stands the monument to the Father of Our Country. And behind me, the towering presence of the Great Emancipator — he secured our union at the moment of its most perilous time and freed those whose captivity was our greatest shame.

And over these grounds where we are so honored to stand today, we feel the spirit of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He, who on this very day two score and seven years ago, gave voice to a dream that would challenge us to honor the sacred charters of our liberty that all men are created equal.

Now in honoring these giants, these giants who are linked by a solid rock foundation of faith in the one true God of justice – in honoring them, we must not forget the ordinary men and women on whose shoulders they stood. The ordinary called for extraordinary bravery. I’m speaking, of course, of America’s finest, our men and women in uniform, a force for good in this country and that is nothing to apologize for.

Abraham Lincoln once spoke of the mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land. And for over two hundred years, those mystic chords have bound us in gratitude to those who are willing to sacrifice, to restrain evil, to protect God-given liberty, to sacrifice all in defense of our country.

They fought for its freedom at Bunker Hill, they fought for its survival at Gettysburg and for the ideals on which it stands – liberty and justice for all – on a thousand battlefields far from home.

“Fought for its survival at Gettysburg”? H. L. Mencken debunked that lie decades ago.

In other words, if we are to believe the Beck-Palin view of history, Leviathan is the source of all good, and those who oppose it deserve to be crushed. If you’re a patriotic American in the Beck-Palin mold, you understand that citizen surveillance, reconstruction at home, and militarism abroad are noble endeavors we must support with our blood and treasure.

I’m calling game, set, and match.

Quod erat demonstrandum.

87,000 showed up at the Lincoln Memorial for Beck’s rally:

Forty-seven years after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech,” Fox News host Glenn Beck stood Saturday close to the spot at the Lincoln Memorial where the civil rights leader called for racial equality, urging the nation to return to “faith, hope and charity.”

Now let me get this straight — Beck stands at a monument that deifies the man who transformed the voluntary union of States into a centralized behemoth, and invokes the legacy of a man tied closely to communists — for the purpose of restoring liberty and small government?

One of us is realllllly missing something.

Something happened to my first post on Oikophobia? Weird? Here it is again. My Facebook friend Bret posted this as his status.

Word of the day — Oikophobia. Oikophobia is fear of the familiar: “the disposition, in any conflict, to side with the ‘them’ against the ‘us’, and the felt need to denigrate the customs, culture and institutions that
are identifiably ‘ours.’” The West today is diseased w/ Oikophobia.

Sometime just reduced to “Oiks” for the sake of simplicity.

i.e. — The socialist two party system is comprised of oiks who only feel good about themselves if they are wallowing is self-hatred.

I suggest that anytime a PC thought policer accuses you of xenophobia, that you accuse him of oikophobia in return.

My friend Bret (see below) was getting his quote from this WSJ column by Jame Taranto. It is a must read.

There is one important difference between the American oik and his European counterpart. American patriotism is not a blood-and-soil nationalism but an allegiance to a country based in an idea of enlightened universalism. Thus our oiks masquerade as–and may even believe themselves to be–superpatriots, more loyal to American principles than the vast majority of Americans, whom they denounce as “un-American” for feeling an attachment to their actual country as opposed to a collection of abstractions.

The article contains this excellent observation from Charles Krauthammer:

a comeuppance is due the arrogant elites whose undisguised contempt for the great unwashed prevents them from conceding a modicum of serious thought to those who dare oppose them.

Of course I could point out how neocons like Krauthammer have long practiced this same elitist slur campaign against paleos, but I’ll save that for another post.

Like Kowalski in Vanishing Point, DC’s foreign policy is about to come to a dead stop. Kowalski ended up crashing his Dodge Challenger into a bulldozer; DC is about to hit the dead-end of its credit limit. Here, Ron Paul warns us that the bulldozer we’re racing toward is operated by Chinese bankers:

As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. …

Our foreign policy is based on an illusion: that we are actually paying for it. What we are doing is borrowing and printing money to maintain our presence overseas. Americans are seeing the cost of this irresponsible approach as their own communities crumble and our economic decline continues.

In the past, I’ve argued against DC’s malignant militarism based on its effect on our civil liberties. But it’s coming to the point where we have to confront the disastrous economic repercussions of empire.

“Since 1965, America has invested trillions in education with a primary goal of equalizing test scores among the races and genders. Measured by U.S. test scores, it has been a waste—an immense transfer of wealth from private citizens to an education industry that has grown bloated while failing us again and again. Perhaps it is time to abandon the goal of educational equality as utopian—i.e., unattainable—and to focus, as we do in sports and art, on excellence. Teach all kids to the limit of their ability, while recognizing that all are not equal in their ability to read, write, learn, compute or debate, any more than they are equally able to play in a band or excel on a ball field….. The beginning of wisdom is to recognize this world as it is, not as what we would wish it to be.” ~ Patrick J. Buchanan, Op-Ed, August 26, 2010

I wonder whether Buchanan will get any flack for his op-ed today?

It’s odd. What he writes everyone knows to be true. Yet, he is not allowed to say it.  Even stranger, the left still presents religion as the enemy of science. But, in reality, it’s egalitarianism that’s at odds with science, at least with evolutionary theory. If Eurasians separated from Africans around 100,000 years ago, and Europeans and Asians separated from each other around 40,000 years ago, it stands to reason that these groups would have evolved along different paths. James D. Watson, co-discoverer of DNA, notes that genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence can be found within a decade. He writes:

“There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so.”

It’s the difference between is and ought. Just because egalitarians wish for things to be equal doesn’t mean they are equal. How much longer will egalitarianism be at war with science? And how much longer will European Americans suffer because of this war?

Next spring, April 13-16, 2011 to be exact, the annual White Privilege Conference will take place in Bloomington, Minn.  A group leftist race-baiters have been holding this conference which will go about accusing white of having not just a disproportionate amount of wealth in the country, but so-called “privileges” exclusive only to whites in the U.S. Your guess is a good as mine as to what they are but apparently they exists because these people say they do.

Read through the entire article and one gets the sense that the rhetoric this conference uses is similar to that of the Ku Klux Klan: white people are special simply because they are white.  Of course anyone who is white and poor in this country knows this is complete BS but once again a claque of people spend their time trying to convince poor whites to overlook their economic woes and embrace the fact they have skin. Only this crowd does so through a different point of view.

One woman describe the experience as having her “blinders taken off.” Well, I too hope the persons who attend this conference have their blinders taken off as well. In fact, I’ll volunteer my services to do so. I will be happy to transport them around my county and elsewhere in western Wisconsin and Minnesota so they can witness the white poor, up close and personal in their broken down trailers and farm homes and explain all these special privileges they receive for being white. I’m sure they just don’t know what they are. I guess they’ve been too busy, I don’t know, trying to keep from starving or worrying about unemployment or whether their mine might collapse on them or getting their faces blown off in Iraq or Afghanistan because nobody else wishes to serve in the military. That’s it, they’ve been too busy to figure all this out. There’s got to be a special benefit to being white they’re missing out on and I hope the persons at this conference will go inside their shotgun shacks and explain it to them because I certainly can’t.
