In my years as an activist I was from time to time in contact with Carleton Putnam, author of Race and Reason. He was also the founder of Delta Airlines.

When I got into aircraft negotiations, I wrote to tell him about it. He could have helped me infinitely, since airlines in that time of regulation were almost entirely a matter of who you know.

But I knew he wouldn’t.

Stalin used to rob banks to finance the Communist Party. Party members would regularly marry rich women to make their assets available to the Party. Lenin never did a day’s actual work in his life.

To the leftist Revolutionaries as to the ancient Greeks, politics was life. To rightists, politics is a game you play after you have proved you are a Practical Man and made money.

You know how a respectable conservative gets all giddy when he gets to denounce white people? They think they are being really, truly, honestly Sophisticated when they do that. For all whites hatred of their race is a form of Selflessness, but nobody gets the glorious feeling out of it that respectables do.

White anti-whites see themselves as the ideal of self-denial. Black anti-blacks are evil.

Carleton Putnam saw this and hated it. But he did exactly the same thing. He surely prided himself on cases where he actually favored anti-whites over whites when it came to employment networking.

There was a similar outlook among respectables on Capitol Hill. Instead of hiring young conservative activists, they would cut their budgets and “give the money back to the taxpayers.”

In real industry anywhere on earth, an executive who is promoted gets a larger staff budget.

This is NOT charity.

Conservatives in congress get about a dollar in their budget to each thousand dollars of the Federal deficit that year. They then announce to their constituents that while “fraud and waste” is wasting hundreds of billions each year, they “gave back” half a million bucks from their budget.

What was the budget FOR?

It was to hire staff so they could track down some fraud and waste.

Let’s take one of those promoted executives. He limps in to the boss and says, “Well, my section lost five million dollars last year, but the good news is that I “gave back” fifty thousand dollars of my budget to the company.”

Would he walk out the door with a job?

Nobody denies more vigorously than respectable conservatives that those Hollywood operatives McCarthy and Reagan attacked in the fifties and who are now on the KGB lists actually hired leftist actors.

But anyone familiar with the history of the Communist Party would be astounded if they didn’t. In order to keep in with all the Personalities, media respectables say all us celebrities were chosen strictly for talent.

As long as our cause remains a hobby, a sport, we cannot build anything like what the other side has. While the Fords congratulated themselves on giving money, the left settled for nothing less than getting ALL of the Ford Foundation for themselves.

This is not a game. This is life itself.
