Here is a Stormfront exchange on George Wallace that leads to a point about me:

MY REPLY ON SF:
Here’s the story.
In 1957 Governor Orville Faubus was the hero of Arkansas for defying integration and making Eisenhower call in Federal troops.
Everybody who cheered him then switched sides and he ended up as a postman, and lucky to get the job.
Wallace, like Faubus, did not have much money, and he was in a wheel chair. He knew his former backers would desert him.
If you are an old paraplegic and have to go crying to the other side, the question is whether one should blame you or the New Southerners who left you in that position?
And remeber, Wallace handled millions of dollars in campaign funds.
There was a guy named David Duke who handled large amounts of campaign funds and DIDN’T back down. They spent tens of millions of dollars to catch him on about three thousand dollars of that money and he ended up in a maximum security prison.
Our “supporters” forget us or find something to condemn us for. Our enemies NEVER forget.
It’s like the novel 1984. The minute we are out of the limelight, the enemy starts forcing us to repudidate our views publically for their own purposes.
— ADDITION FOR BLOGGERS:
The Soviet Empire collapsed and all its former supporters here switched overnight from being pro-Soviet to being environmentalists and open-border freaks (There is a book on this latter point called “Importing Revolution”).
But the left never forgets. When 9/11 happened, they began to make public statements about evil people — like me — who had supported the group that carried out the New York attack when they were fighting the Soviet invaders of Afghanistan.
There were repeated attempts to blame 9/11 on anti-Communists.
Do I need to add the following two points:
1) When leftists complained about our support of rebellion against the Soviet invaders and tried to blame 9/11 on us, not one single respectable conervative ever called them on it;
2) Since the commentators didn’t make the connection, no one understood it, ad if they had, everybody on our side would have forgotten it anyway.
3) So the left was left free to go after anti-Communists and no one would have lifted a finger to support us, any more than they helped Wallace or Faubus.
So while The Greatest Generation is in its seventh decade of senile bragging about it gave a third of the world to the Communists, the sloggers who really won the Cold War have had to carefully wipe their records clean of some of the best and bravest fighting ever done, over DECADESwhen they could, and deny them when they couldn’t.
All my life I have anticipated the time when I wold have to “admit” that I never did a thing in the Cold War, and/or declare that I renounced my evil ways and had Found the Lord, that final refuge of scoundrels looking for an excuse.
So I find Wallace blubbering in his wheelchair a little easier to understand than those who have not spent decades dreading the political realities no one remembers now.
