In response to my comment,

RE: “I want to get your frontal lobe going and your guts capable of standing up against dictators. Once you do that, I want you to take it and run with it.”

Don says:

“Here I thought the purpose of the whole exercise was for us to complain about the latest Black crime or argue about what happened 75 years ago. Isn’t that enough, for Pete’s sake?”

Don demonstrates he has gotten my point:

If something is stupid, laugh at it and make it SOUND stupid.

Don is making a critical point. While we are here oding the work of thinking, most of the people in our movement are wildly talking about the Latest Issue.

But the Latest Scandal from Iraq doesn’t mean a damned thing if you don’t know its background.

As Don says, most of those people are screaming to each other, “We have a PROBLEM!”

Now let me add something I DO NOT WANT YOU TO FORGET:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with VENTING to your comrades. One of the great blessings of hte Internet is that we can finally not feel so alone and tell each other about the latest black outrage orthe latest betrayal of our people for the good of Israel.

When Don makes fun of this, he very carefully says , “Here I THOUGHT THE PURPOSE OF THE WHOLE EXERCISE was for us to complain about the latest Black crime or argue about what happened 75 years ago. ”

Venting is fine. But if all you do is vent you are not doing your part.

If someone comes on Stormfront or my blog and doesn’t NOTHING BUT vent, it is exactly like a person sitting in a psychiatrist’s office and saying nothing but, “Well, Doc, I just don’t think the way I feel I should.”

If your thinking and attitudes are just fine, you will not be sitting in that particular office. If the people you are talking to don’t understand there is a big problem they will not be in Bob’s Blog or on Stormfront.

Somebody who goes to a psychiatrist just to tell him he has a problem really does have a problem.

The same goes for Stormfront.

Shari and I had this exchange in comments:

Shari,

FOUR children? In a time when whites are not supposed to HAVE children?

And what is worse, four INTELLIGENT children!

I am every bit as ashamed of you as you are ashamed of yourself.

That’s right, we weren’t. Feminist was getting into full swing. Then I had a minister say to me when the fourth was on the way ” what are you doing, having another baby, when so many lives here are rotting?” You don’t forget a comment like that even if you are over it

As Peter said, it is amazing where your mind goes when a group exchanges ideas.

As Shari says, the women’s libbers were breathtakingly rude.

Women’s Liberation was one of a cluster of Liberation Movements from the 1960s. It got started at the beginning of the ’70s. It was headed up by Bella Abzug, a New York Jewish congresswoman(?).

Her hallmarks were being ugly and being rude.

In fact, rudeness was integral to allthe Liberation and Love Chilren Movements of that period. Here is what happened:

The group that calls itself the Greatest Generation had had its obedience training and it had learned to obey bullies. That was the purpose of basic training. The military ideal was to make youor men more afraid of you than they were of the enemy. So sergeants were given a bunch of teenagers reaised in decent families and ordered to make groveling dogfaces of them.

As the pre-World War II generation died on, New York City leftists made a great discovery. If a Jew or a black screamed at a member of hte Greatest Generation he scarfed them and get anything he wanted.

Today, if you look at clips of the Jerry Rubins and the other hippie leaders in their heyday, you will wonder why nobody punched them inthe mouth.

As a matter of fact, I let one of those spoiled brats go before me through the door and he kept that nasty, spoiled brat look on his face instead of thanking me.

So I kicked him in the butt.

That is what previous Americans would have done, but not the Weakest Generation.

With people who have been trained in cowardice, screaming and bullying is the perfect strategy, and blacks and Jews in New York were in their glory.

So here was this woman talking to Shari about Shari’s having children. It never occurrred to her that if it was anybody’s business, it was not hers. But she was a part of a movement which had Bella Abzug as its icon. Rudeness didn’t work on Shari, but it was magic in dealing with the Weakest Generation.

You see how all that I say tends to tie together?

Peter said an idea of mine really applied to his personal and family life. That is the sort of thinking I want you to do. I want you to read over what I say and what commenters say and let it lead you.

We will find our own sexual hangups, the most personal of things, trace right back to Zoroastrianism, not Christianity.

Shari has read my discussions of The Weakest Generation, but I’ll bet it never occurred to her that that was directly relevant to the gross insult she herself received, an insult she will never forget, decades after the war ended.
