One commenter said they were afraid that their particular suggestion “might be overstepping the bounds.”

It didn’t.

But the point is that BUGS has no room for people who go to pieces because you DO overstep the bounds. This gives you a chance to simply say what you are thinking.

There are two reasons people fear to make suggestions that might be taken badly.

One is the human time bomb. Stormfront’s Religious section was famous for that. People were regularly cut off for saying the wrong thing or endless pages were devoted to why someone should be cut off.

So we simply have no room in BUGS for touchy people.

But this has another side to it. Our own commenters have a tough skin, too. My black little heart is gladdened when a person who uses the term “anti” is viciously and unapologetically denounced.

A person who spots one of us — including Lord Robert Hisself — saying something stupid and destructive should SAY so.

There is time to be diplomatic but there is also a time to let ‘em HAVE it.

This is all more effective if you carefully reserve the totally unkind remarks for when somebody really needs to be called down, as when they use “anti.” Extreme remarks are for extreme situations.

On the other hand, someone who needs constant kindness and diplomacy doesn’t belong in BUGS. This is a rough place.

Wars DO tend to get a bit rough.

This also gives me a lot of freedom. I keep telling you that a lot of my ideas are developed right here. You allow me to talk things out here, to think out loud in front of an intelligent and critical audience.

We are exploring a whole world of logic and observations here that no one is allowed to even THINK about elsewhere. When one is thinking in areas no one is allowed to delve into, you are inevitably going to say some totally stupid things.

Many, many of the things I have said here over the years contain embarrassing nonsense and factual nonsense.

Some of the corrections have been as disrespectful as they deserved.

I am a battle scarred old hard politics vet. That doesn’t bother me.

I only feel let down when someone does NOT tell me when they believe I am just plain WRONG.

It’s simple, but it’s always true: You only arrive at the truth by stating your proposition and having others do you the service of shooting it down.

Old Bob is NOT a human time bomb.

When I made an appeal to be sure we remember to keep our disagreement on approach with AmRen Civil, I got two comments that by themselves made the thing worthwhile.

They were sort of opposite ends of the same stick.

One commenter decided that I was writing the piece as a response to some criticism of AmRen HE had made. Another who probably resents what I said because he admires Jared Taylor, said “I thought that” meaning respect for other pro-whites, “was a given.”

To the latter writer, let me repeat that one of the basics of which we keep reminding each other here at BUGS is that NOTHING is taken as a given. We REPEAT what, in a sane world, Should be givens.

I don’t think that anyone in BUGS, AmRen or any other pro-white activity is under the impression that we live in a sane world.

Let me remind you that God gave mankind ten commandments, and when Jesus came to earth he reduced them to two. When it comes to simple decency, intellectual retention is not one of man’s outstanding virtues.

Certainly someone who has made the Mantra his main cause would not be the one to be suspected of repeating a truth purely because of some comment or to attack a fellow pro-white.

What I said about not attacking fellow pro-whites was, in fact, probably motivated by the fact that I, Saint Bob Himself, needed to hear it.

Fifty years ago I had been in practical politics enough to be sent to the Young Republican Leadership Conference. It was the only time in my life when I actually won a prize, third in actual personal canvassing that was part of the training.

In well over fifty years of politics I have developed a hide so thick it makes Moby Dick look like a newborn babe. So I shouldn’t worry about taking anything personally, right?

Wrong.

I noticed that I was enjoying it a little too much when commenters described my technique as superior to those of others. I am used to fighting it out alone, and it felt good for change.

Then it started feeling TOO good.

I also noted I was writing an awful lot of reminiscences of the times when I was regarded as the peasant sidekick to the Regular Conservatives because I actually went out there and, proudly, showed I could SPEAK FOR those Wallace Democrat types conservatives were theorizing about.

Sorry, if you’re building a Shrine to Saint Bob, the money could better be spent elsewhere.

I am practically heroic at not letting it influence me when I am treated as an outsider and still am the most loyal one around to the Cause itself.

But I am not INDIFFERENT to it. So when James Edwards takes seven years to have me on his show again and Jared refused to review my book and was never asked to speak at a convention, it was the same old same old, I had been there and done that.

But let me once again tell you something that should be a given: In the battle for power, the one person you can NEVER afford to try to fool is YOURSELF.

If that reminder was especially for anybody, it was especially for ME. If anybody here is going to get into a snit against prominent pro-whites, it is going to Ex-Saint Bob.

General Comments VII, Comment #51 by Coniglio Bianco on 4/14/2011 – 5:52 pm

Here’s someone who needs to be straightened out for ridiculing the White Genocide Evidence Project.

http://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/the-white-genocide-evidence-project/

I looked at the site and it was BLANKETED with the Mantra!

One of these days you will look back on those shining days when you were banned and banned and banned and BANNED!

After this time, if we get mainstream you are going to get bored out of your SKULL!

I tell people, “I resent being called a lunatic extremist. I like to think I’m right in the MIDDLE of the lunatics!”

Very few people get the real chance to get around the authorities and the general fanaticism the way we do.

It’s a tough experience, but it really makes life worth while.

I was happy when I saw 33 comments in response to my seventieth birthday article.

Then I was disappointed to find that many if not most of them were wasted in a debate about whether BUGSers are personally virtuous by having enough children.

This is another old tactic. Remember that the other side wants to get on ANYTHING except the Mantra. So they say you should be out having big families if you really care about your race and forget this Mantra thing.

How much good for the future of our race would it do if the few Mantra whites had huge families and did not concentrate on the Mantra? It wouldn’t do our race any good, but talking about it sure helps the anti-whites.

I can’t BELIEVE you wasted so much time on that!

At least one commenter caught the ploy and exposed it.

But the whole seminar gets a string of Fs for letting this crap roll on.

Another indicator is when someone refers to “Bob Whitaker’s writings.” You can read Dave and tell at once that he is referring to SPECIFIC points I made.

I cut off the black guy because he was not READING our point of view.

By definition, a COMMENT is on something one has READ.

But let’s return to the basic topic here:

That string of Fs for letting someone get you off topic by arguing you are not a good kid if you don’t have lots of kids.

How in the HELL did you fall for that!?

The old North Carolina saying has a deep meaning here:

You’re ugly, your feet stink, and you don’t love Jesus.” It is a false quote that makes a point.

The point is that a stupid person reacts to any opinion he dislikes by assuming that the disagreer is evil in all ways. What we are dealing with here is a related point: a person trying to justify HIMSELF rather than his POINT. So this person attacks White Rabbit on not having children:

“Are you a REAL, a GOOD white person?”

NEVER fall into that trap.

The point is not WR. The point is not about Bob Whitaker being a saint or a scumbag.

The point is the Mantra. And when you allow yourself to get off white genocide and onto whether you are good or fecund or your feet stink, you are being a friggin’ MORON.

I was told about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dOfx6_1KFo&feature=related by one of our people.

It’s anti-white and it is JUST what we need!

In this diatribe you have almost every way the anti-white uses to GET OFF THE SUBJECT.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is precisely what our leaders and Stormfronters as well as the anti-whites always do.

I am so grateful to this anti-white for doing it I am in danger of doing a Hannity and kissing his ass complimenting him.

But he did do one smart thing. He actually read the Mantra, but he did it line by line, with several minutes of getting off the point after each quotation.

First he attacked, “Everybody says there is a Race problem.” Among the other dodges, he went into is “Everybody.”

I have never said everybody. I say “People say there is this race problem.”

But anti-whites’ only goal is to get off the simple logic of the Mantra. So splitting it up paragraph by paragraph is a smart move.

I am not going to describe every bit of it. There’s nothing you haven’t heard.

The old “There is no such thing as a white country.” WE don’t define the term. THEY never even MENTION Japanese or Taiwanese immigration but they go ballistic if Iceland restricts it. Immigration into white countries is such a fixed demand that it is not noticed.

The man even disputes the word “crowded!”

This is a GREAT piece. Every respectable conservative and most Stormfronters can see their own quibbles right here, all together.

What is particularly funny to me is his jumping on my saying “liberals and respectable conservatives.”

He gloatingly announces to the world that I have screwed up and admitted I am not “respectable!!!”

Boy, now THERE’S a surprise to all BUGSters. Bob does not claim the “respectable” label!
