In the 1950s my mother and father were walking along in London when a guy walked up and said, “You’re an American, aren’t you?”
Well, at least he didn’t say “Yank” so my father said yes, Brits consider you an idiot if you call a Scotsman an Englishman but they have never got the effervesce between a Yank and a human straight.
The fellow went on, “The difference between America and England is that in America the bosses run things and here Labour runs things.”
My father replied, “Yea, and where Labour runs things your shoes are worn out, your clothes are dirty, you haven’t shaved for several days,” he was pointing at different parts of the man in front of him.
Then he leaned forward and said, “And he’s probably HUNGRY, too, right?”
My mother pulled my father away and ended the exchange.
I have pointed out to Brits that we killed more Yanks in one war than they did in two.
ANOTHER Brit walked up to my father and said, “You’re from America, right?”
My father agreed to that.
The man said, “I know a lot of bad things about America.”
My father replied, “I know a lot more bad things about America than you do.”
In fact, like me, my father expostulated endlessly about bad things in America, though in this case the fellow did not seem to want to continue the talk.
In fact, what my father replied was the ultimate response. He knew all about how bad America REALLY was, but he was an American, and wouldn’t be anything else for love nor money.
I know some bad things about the Catholic Church, but BBG knows a hundred to one, and he wouldn’t be anything else. Others hate the South while other outsiders see Gone With the Wind as truth. I despise those who let the South pay for the entire Federal Government PLUS a subsidy to Yankees through tariffs.
I DESPISE the HEROIC confederate leaders who didn’t secede earlier when WE could have won. But I am Southerner.
This is how identity works. BBG and other Catholics put up with my specific criticisms because they trust me. I listen carefully to criticisms of the South from people who have an identity of their OWN.
We do not trust people who criticize the South or the Church if they are Wordists. A Wordist has no gut loyalties.
A Wordist is an instant traitor. When he criticizes the South or the Church he is against Southerners and Catholics. To a Western man, nothing is so evil as hating your own. To Political Correctness, goodness is truly despising your own people.
If BBG criticizes the South, I weigh what he says. Id a Wordist attacks the South, I take it for what it is, an expression of hatred.
This is a distinction no Wordist can understand.
Identity gives you a gut loyalty. You are a part of your own people. You can love them and despise them at the same time. In fact, all of us do love and despise our own people simultaneously.
Wordism depends entirely on one’s current opinion. A Wordist loves or hates according to his current feeling about a group from one set of words against another set of words. He HATES Evil, as he defines Evil according to his Wordist outlook.
Sop whoever he is currently criticizing, best of all if it has the virtue of being his own group, he currently Hates, because they are Evil on the only scale he knows.
The Wordist assumes the same motivation in others. To him, Hate is the basic motivation.
Loyalty is the most natural motivation for any animal above the level of a cockroach. Meer Kats hate other groups of Meer Kats during the period they are competing with them. Over tens of millions of years of years of evolution, there has never been a social animal who judged all others of his species objectively.
Wordists are very unnatural animals. What passes for loyalty in them is whether a group represents Good or Evil. Someone who is wrong is not just wrong, it is Hate of all things that are Good. No healthy minded person can think that way. He loves his family and knows what is right and wrong about them. The loyalty does not vary.
It is inevitable that the Wordist sees the world in terms of Hate versus Love, of Good versus Evil.
To a person with a healthy mind, this is a very sick way to look at things.

Some time back I mentioned that in exploring my ancestry I discovered a horrendous murder within the family. A grand aunt’s elderly widower burned to death a young cousin who repulsed his advances. In swift course a lawful, though maliciously and cruelly administered, execution took place. The disposition of two bodies starkly illustrates Bob’s points.
The executed corpse was interred at night as not to offend the community. But his kinsmen owed him a burial because they were his kinsmen. Period.
He had confessed his guilt and had begged, and had received the forgiveness of his church, a Free Will Baptist congregation, but their loyalty to the dead lass, a member of the church, barred his burial in the same graveyard. A neighboring grave site was arranged.
This created a difficulty because his late wife, the mother of a large family, was buried in the congregation’s graveyard. Her remains were transferred to the second site. By marriage she was one with him.
This little rural community got it more right in a few days than the faculty of Hahvahd Law Skool could get it over a period of couple of decades of learned appeals.
What is the point? Loyalty, as defined by kinship and relationship, trumps loyalty as defined by wrong and right. Your highest duty is to blood which is real and identifiable, not to ideas which waft in the wind. You know your kin, your race, more surely than your ideas.

I was nearly grown before I heard the “k” word. And not from a redneck racist, but from a school books taught by Jews. For years, I’d watched Jews burn flags on t.v., push dope, offer diatribes on the hideousness of Protestant America—the same things kids see today when SB Cohen puts crap on womens’ dining tables in movies, or Sandra Bernhardt says she’s going to get ‘her big black brothers to rape Sarah Palin,’ or Sarah Silverman degrades the elderly in an old folks’ home, and hops in a casket and chokes an already dead white gentile women on youtube while singing “You’re gonna die soon,” and then starts saying she wants to ‘kill Jesus again.’
I’d intaken years of hate (not indoctrination exactly) –but just hate that’s offered every generation, apparently– before even considering there could be a group that sort of looked like me but had no loyalty to me. B/c I was good looking–I deduced these people were just ugly and mad about it.
Then I realized they were Jews, I posited that they had been hurt in a war, and if the world was patient, they could be loved back to health. THEN I realized their hate existed before the war.
So, there’s a tight gauntlet now between visibility and demographics and until the iron-clad law emerges: Only family members are allowed to talk about your mother.

I live close to a Marine recruiting station and often I encounter the latest batch of young Marine recruits doing their daily runs before being shipped off to San Diego. I can smell the vulnerability of these kids, clueless about the world and the sources of things, too young to know how defective the laws of life are.
I also encounter young leftist organizations. Not voluntarily, but it makes for interesting comparisons.
For example, some of these young SEIU labor organizers I (am forced) to meet are very different from the young Marine recruits I talk to. There is a hard-barked doctrinaire malevolence in these SEIU organizers that is entirely missing in the Marines.
These SEIU kids are Obama’s people.
They are young kids, just like the Marine recruits, but comparing them to the Marines are like comparing Godzilla’s to Bambi’s, from the “tuned up to the street” perspective.
That is why you just have to respect what you are dealing with in the world of politics.

This wordist mindset might be Obama’s problems. Plenty of press today about Obama being crazy, probably just internut rumors, but you never know with his upbringing around all those anti-white haters.
Besides it seems some jews are upset at him, like everyone in Israel, so it wouldn’t suprise me to start reading at Hufpo or other jewbuttkiss outlets about Obama’s bad traits.
I’ll miss him if he is removed, what a great ally he is. Good enemies are hard to find.

Question: Where Confederate soldiers terrorists ?
This was my answer that I posted on CNN’s website.
There was a war between the North and the South, for you kids that were not allowed to learn in school, and the Confederate soldiers were fighting the North to protect their homes in the South. Yes, slavery was an issue. Slavery was only one of the issues.
The South back then was made up of farms that fed the entire country, both North and South. The Southerners had become dependent on the slavery system in order to run their farms and make a profit. The Northerners were not all angels who wanted to free the slaves. Some of the politicians up North decided that slavery was not a good thing. That was back when politicians still had consciences, before they became hardened criminals. When the war broke out because of the differences, the groceries that were being provided by the farms in the South got cut off, so the North had no choice but to reek havoc on the South to reestablish that grocery set up. The problem was that the North expected the South to continue providing groceries without slaves. Since many of the slaves had no where to go after the war, they stayed on the farms as sharecroppers. This means that they would work for a share of the crop that would be harvested in the fall. This helped the freed slaves a little bit. The system of sharecropping still exists today in some places. Not all sharecroppers are black.
The people who tell you that Confederates were terrorists are called revisionists.
Revisionists like to rewrite history so that all white people look evil and all people of other races look noble and angelic. The Confederates did not go into the communities and plant bombs. They did not rig horses with explosives and loose them on civilians.
They did not do suicide bombing and they did not ever plant dynamite in their own shoes.
There are always two sides to wars. It is a good thing to try to understand both sides. There are no real angels among the human race.
There are only people who try to do the right thing. Sometimes there is a difference of opinion as to the right thing.
One more thing, the reluctance to move forward and develop new technologies was one of the problems that the South needed professional help to overcome. We can all learn from this problem. Remember, kids, problems are just lessons in disguise.

I waas listening to Michael Savage live on the radio and he had this to say about demographics. The establishment is intentionally encouraging whites not to reproduce by promoting cultural crap. The establishment is trying to and I quote Savage, “Destroy the Caucasion Race”. He did not use our term Genocide, although I wish he had.

Alan, nice report. Any links to a site or podcast where we can hear this?
