Remember you asked ME for MY assessment.
The Conservative Citizens meeting in Greenville had three main speakers who had all been on national television repeatedly. Jared Taylor and Sam Dickson demonstrate that the movement is going mainstream. But James Edwards is the spokesman we NEED and no one seemed to notice.
I met Gordon Baum, the head of CC a generation ago, and I am flattered that he wants me there. It is important that such meetings take place. This is about the only organization we have that goes out in public and it is essential.
Jared made some points I could use so I asked him if I could get a copy of the events he described. His response was to tell me he writes from notes. What I needed was not the point. He wanted to make the point that Jared Taylor is one hell of a speaker.
He interrupted me to take congratulations so I walked away.
Jared Taylor shows we are going mainstream, as is Pat Buchanan and Joe Sobran. Sam Dickson has always been a class act and a hell of a speaker.
Their appearance was the point of the conference.
But are they GOING anywhere?
Gordon asked me why I didn’t join Conservative Citizens and I told him that since my friend Sam Francis died my part in their publication, Citizen’s Informer, was cancelled without notice. He walked away and may not speak to me again.
So I am not a morally superior being to Sam and Jared. I am interested in MY message, and I say so. If you are in serious power politics, you had damned well be sure that you know your OWN motivations FIRST. That is why I had so little to say about the conference.
I could have been at the same meeting fifty years ago, when the main speakers would have been Governor Ross Barnett or Lester Maddox. CC is an army in being. But it is the guerrillas who win the war and the Jareds and Sams and Pats who take the enemy’s sword at Yorktown.
I have been in this game too long to know what will succeed. It is the tide in the affairs that decides who is there at the right time to take credit.
No speakers emphasized any of our points, but they got in there, some, as they do everywhere. That’s what us guerrillas are interested in.
But that is not what people came to hear. They want to hear amnesty denounced and whatever else is in the papers. They come and they pay their dues, which is the lifeblood of an organization. Don’t ask an elephant to climb a tree.

Another kick in the seat of the pants for Bob Whitaker. I would think you would get tired of it. But, it is true, there is a certain type of personality that never tires of getting kicked in the ass. I have never entirely understood that. To have resolve, to be stubborn, to be muleheaded up to a point is ok. After a time, however, it begins to move into the area of foolishness.

Why was it foolish? It doesn’t cost me anything.

Thanks for the feedback.
To me, James Edwards looks set to take the lead and he appears to be a quality guy.
I may be wrong, but I can see a lot of surprising events unfolding in the near future.
And our little group maybe better placed to play a leading role then people realize.
7 WORDS!

Organizations tend to latch onto issues created and promoted by the established institutions,aka, “Goverment, Academia, Media”. Our message, “The Survival of the White Race”, is what we are all about, it is what we want to spread to the masses who are exposed to the same ole tripe, immigration, war abroad, etc etc. If we get on board with that crowd we will be consumed and drowned out like all the other groups who took the wrong path.

I believe the most effective message is the one that the audience relates to, and can be stated in as few words as possible; Bob’s Mantra is good, but requires thinking. VNN’s Mantra is great, and inspires thinking.
If you look at the issues of AmRen.CoCC, and all of those, they are dealing with subissues of the meta-issue, and the metaissue is RACE.
Bob’s Mantra sneaks up on people, in fact, a lot of Bob’s formulations can be elegantly reduced to a phrase that sticks. If you actually read “A Plague On Both Your Houses,” you see a different worldview than you received in the public fool indoctrination system.
Make no mistake; our RACIAL Enemies live, breathe, and die in a subculture that is totally obsessed with their RACE, and it’s supremacy over all that lives.
Defining our issues in any of the peripheral issues simply makes us easier prey for the parasites, and the predators.
It’s simply Family, RACE as the Living Bridge between Family and Culture, and Culture; above all, it is RACE, writ large.
Incidentally, the line that I have been using to address the RACE issue is to say, “Look, everyone else organizes around RACE, even the illegals, and it sure works for them. Did you know that, when they are legalized, they get Affirmative Action preferences over you?”
“Affirmative Action” is also a phrase that ties nicely into showing how your membership in the White RACE can, and will, be used against you.

I’m probably not helping you with Taylor, I keep trying to post some of your wisdom there in one form or another and barely 25% of it makes it thru. On the other hand the continual litany of remarks in the form, “As if Bob W. was never born” fill out the comments section. Still your points make it thru, a few month’s ago Taylor asked a rhetorical question as to what “racism” actually is instead of relying on the liberal assumptions that the “respectables” use.

Wow, even that moron Bill O’Reily is getting with the program!
O’reilly, interviewing McCain about Illegal ALiens and the pending Immigration Bill says:
‘But do you understand what the New York Times wants, and the far-left want? They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you’re a part, and so am I, and they want to bring in millions of foreign nationals to basically break down the structure that we have.”
