Well, I’m not pessimistic. But after feeling dull as dishwater for so many years I just want to feel absolutely YIPPIE! before I die. To laugh out loud! I would like to see some things happen very very quickly, not filter down.

ME:
Shari, the joyful feeling you describe is restricted to people like Old Bob. That YIPPIE! is not for you. You would have to learn how to celebrate from me, and no one seems to have that willingness or that ability.
No one here understood when I said what one of the high points of my life was standing on the bridge over the Moscow Canal, looking straight at the Kremlin, fully lighted on a December night. Standing there in minus twenty, I gave the Kremlin the finger, and said, “I GOT you bastards!”
That was a moment I have described here often. But no one here understands what it meant. I ENJOYED that moment. I will never forget that moment. But nobody here could see how that was a moment of YIPPIE! a moment of victory.
Yes, Pain and all the rest who TREAT me said it was nice. But they were handling me, not learning from what I said.
I had spent thirty years being instrumental in forming the coalition, down in the Deep South and in the ethnic areas of Northern cities, none of which the Kremlin had any inkling of, that destroyed the Kremlin power.
Pain says he thinks that’s nice. He’s handling me, not learning from me.
Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, you don’t get many chances to finger an Empire that owns half the world. If you can’t YIPEE over that, what will you YIPEE over?
When the world is perfect? I am surrounded by victories that were unimaginable in the 1950s, as I keep saying.
ABSOLUTELY no one else understood WHY I enjoyed that moment so much.
I, alone, know where I am going. I know and celebrate each victory on the way there.
Shari, it hurts me to say so, but you will NEVER know that feeling. I know when I have scored a victory in the REAL fight. I keep winning, and you keep feeling the final victory has not been won.
I keep winning, and you keep waiting for Gabriel’s Trumpet.
You have a courage I admire. You have a courage I am very happy that that I do not NEED.
You will never have a Final Victory. I can teach you why you don’t NEED a Final Victory.

I think I get it. You subscribe at least partly to the idea best said by Conan the Barbarian:
Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

I feel a shift in the air; I think Political Correctness has about shot its wad. For decades they have push their adjenda on the public, an adjenda nobody asked for or wanted. P.C. Only exist in name, the whole phony thing is propped up by the media and the professor priest hood, it is similar to the Soviet Union in many respects. The Soviet government was propped up by the western press and the intellectuals, they gave it legitimacy it never deserved and could not survive with out. Reagan said tear down this wall, Eastern Europe pushed for freedom and a vacuum occurred that brought the entire rotten system crashing down. Its people, every day people who hold the real power and when they unleash it the media and the intellectuals will kiss their asses in fear and stand by and witness what real power IS.

Bob never in my life have I ever been able to reconcile Christianity with the white race. I started young by being kicked out of Baptist Sunday school and I have never looked back, Christianity simply has no pull for me and the bible bores me to death. Could you possibly make a case for it since it seems a good many people still circle around it and I do not want to sound like the town atheist like Mencken wasting my time denigrating someone’s “faith.”

Bob,
I keep telling you that you are the best at what you do. Believe me.
You have been writing without a real break for a few years. Ever thought about a week in Florida? Doing nothing but soaking up sunshine, soaking in a hot tub at a hotel, or swimming a little at the beach? Maybe you could talk business with Kelso and the Blacks over a pitcher of Guinness.
We can learn more from you when you get back.

I have no doubt that I don’t and could not know how you felt on that bridge in Moscow. When the Soviet Union fell I was surprised but uncomprehending. But I have been isolated for years and still am. For me a victory would just to make some real connections with those around me, instead of just listening and knowing what their baby boom mindset is. Also I am literally poorer than anyone I know. This would surprise anyone that I know and they wouldn’t see that it mattered as I am not POOR the way they think of the poor, that is of so much concern. All those poor immigrants etc. but it does give me a different perspective.
I didn’t have Gabriel directly in mind with my comments,but more a good shot in the arm. In any case, you have to have some clear idea of the situation to take heart. Much less, feel as you did on that bridge in the bitter cold. I read that the greatest joy spoils laughing. I suppose the finger would have to do.

I think PC will come tumbling down, I no longer worry about it like I use to, Bob’s blog has given me insight into how things really work. PC is evil by the fact that it will not tollerate opposition, anything lacking real substance or benefit uses all its energy trying to stay alive. Compare PC to liberal talk radio, in the open market, liberal talk radio fails everytime, its based on nothing, its 100% wordism. Now there is talk of using the Fairness Doctrine, liberals think they are being shut out and they should be allowed to have their say. In the free market these idiots can not compete, its hollow, empty, wordist and so is PC but then again its all the same. PC is a cripple on crutches, one is the professor priest hood the other is the media, and the cripple is heading toward softer ground. Don’t give up, keep posting the Mantra. I like to start conversations on topic sthat will elicit the expected PC response and then gently exposed the stupidity of PC and it really gets people thinking. I do it casually like its an idea that just came to mind, that way it feels non threatening to others, we need to remember that most of us have been taught not to think, just keep putting out the message.
