HISTORY CAN'T SEE NATIONS | 2006-11-11

America did not split away from Britain because of the Tea Tax. It split away because it was time. When the Constitution was written, "We the People of the United States of America" had the smallest percentage of foreign-born than at any time before or since.

The last massive immigration from Europe ended by 1715, and that was a small one.

In 1787 Americans had been born here, their parents had been born here, their grandparents had been born here, and their GREAT grandparents had been born here.

Adam Smith's proposal in Wealth of Nations in 1776, that Americans be allowed seats in Parliament, had been considered and rejected during the Revolution. Smith also mentioned in that same book that our population increase was natural, and that we had been BORN here. America was big enough to go it alone. America was an empire in itself.

So the split occurred.

"Treason never prospers, for if it prospers it is no longer treason." So Washington is a hero of the ages and Lee never regained his American citizenship during his lifetime. But the South seceded because it was long past time. The Northern and Southern nations had long since been established, and the South gained nothing from the Union and paid all its bills plus a subsidy to avoid tariffs to Northern industry.

In 1865 the Southern nation became an occupied nation. So it remains today.

The same process occurred when Constantine moved the capitol from Rome to Byzantium. For a long time the Western church was subservient to the Emperor.

It was against Charlemagne's will that he was crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire by the pope. The pope literally snuck up behind him and put the crown on his head!

But the time had come. It had been almost five hundred years since the Roman capitol had been moved east. The western empire had driven off the Islamic invasions and had become entirely separate from the East. It was a new nationality, and it was time for it to have its own church and its own emperor.

Just as people look at the Tea Tax as the history-making splitter in 1775, so they look at the division of the Eastern and Western Churches as the result of theological hair-splitting. If you want to avoid history, the most picayune example you can find that even historians take seriously is called the filioque.

In the Nicene Creed, the Roman Catholic Church adopted the words that the Holy Spirit proceeded from the Father AND the Son. The Eastern Church said the Holy Spirit proceeded ONLY from the Father. That is called the filioque, and theologians take it seriously.

But the reason the old Roman Empire split in two was not a couple of words in a creed, and the reason America split from Britain was not the Tea Tax and the reason the South split from the North was not just slavery.

It was TIME.

SAY IT! | 2012-11-14

In a battle with the anti-whites, you have to either tailgate or make your points.

For example, BUGSERS report replies where they have been called names, again, but I have yet to see one single BUGSER who has SAID, "The only replies you ever make are personal insults."

This is childish, this is the sign of a nut who has lost an argument.

But you have to SAY so.

Rule One is Do NOT tailgate.

Rule 2 is make YOUR point.

It is NOT your job to be fair to people who are aiming to destroy you. You are in a vicious battle and the other side goes stomach up, and time and time again I see you ignore the chance to tear out that offered belly.

They constantly make dead wrong statements. You are worried to death you might say something wrong. So you are tempted to spend a lot of your time correcting them.

At the same time you are saving them time they could have to spend correcting YOU.

I have developed a technique where I get them off spending a lot of their time correcting me while I go back to accusing them of the real genocide they have in mind. You can leave the audience seeing clearly that they were correct on the details, but your point about genocide has been made.

TOO and Jared want to look good. We want to make our point. That is a fundamental difference between us. All things being equal, it is better for you to leave a good impression.

But all things are almost NEVER equal.

What matters to us is that people go away from our confrontations with the concept of white genocide firmly in their minds. It helps if it is made very, very clear that the other side only shrieks insults, but above all is the importance for the REASON they do that.

They scream to hide the reality we are forcing on them.

Once again, if you simply seek to answer their arguments, you are tailgating. What you must learn to do is to analyze WHY they are saying what they say and USE it.

The words, "You are justifying genocide" are critical. The word "silly" is critical.

Anything that just serves to make an argument is a defeat for you.

SAY IT.

BUGSERS have one supreme advantage: We have no institution. The Occidental Quarterly, Jared, and even David, do.

ANTI-CATHOLIC | 2008-01-12

A buddy of mine in the Reagan Administration was an Irishman from Philadelphia. I had been a professor and had grown out of it and he had a PhD and had grown out of it. By Reagan's time we were a couple of political pros, as Southerners and Irishmen are in DC, crying together over a party of Yankees trying to get along in a party of Yankees who were lost in real politics.

I should have said WASPs, and you would have understood how helpless Republicans were. But Michael Novak -- not Robert -- popularized the use of the term WASP. I had lunch with him once and pointed out that Southerners were overwhelmingly WASP but they shared every sane characteristic of the Unmeltable Ethnics he was contrasting to the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. What he MEANT by WASPs, in plain English, was YANKEES. He wasn't being truthful.

He agreed, but Michael Novak is a theologian, so it didn't bother him in the slightest. All professional theologians are sociopaths.

Anyway, my Philadelphia Irish buddy and I were talking and I made a Proterstant-Catholic joke. He said, "Why is it that every time a protestant makes a Catholic-Protestant joke, the Catholics always comes out ahead?"

I was impressed. He was saying that only Jews and jigs and spics and so forth cannot listen to a joke unless their guy wins over the white guy. All dumb people are blond.

Which, as my buddy damned well knew, made the guy who is touchy a bit like a ... well, you know.

BUT I had an experience that puts another angle on this. I lived in a campaign headquarters in the middle of the Polish steel worker section of Chicago for a summer, and they would have gone ballistic if I had referred to them as "Polish people." Remember, I'm an honorary Boston Southie and I am supposed to speak THEIR language. "Polish people" sounds like they are some kind of defensive minority group.

A couple of years later I met a girl from Boston. She wouldn't say her last name. She was deeply ashamed of it. It was POLISH! In Boston being Polish or Irish makes you inferior. Nobody SAYS it, of course. It is so ingrained they don't even NOTICE it.

When we were talking about families in Southie, I mentioned that my first ancestor here wrote the first book in English in America, converted and baptized Pocahontas, and DIED before the famous Pilgrims GOT here. To me that was an illustration of Southern history being ignored. To them it was a revelation. They had someone speaking for them whose families predated their Majesties the Cabots and the Lodges Themselves!

Until that moment, I didn't fully realize how seriously they take this crap up there.

Anti-Catholic may mean more to Back Bay Grouch than it would to someone from Scarlet O'Hara and Cajun territory.

FRITZ HOLLINGS: THE PRICE OF VICE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, PART I | 2011-03-08

Poor Fritz Hollings, perpetual junior senator from South Carolina! While Strom Thurmond spent almost half a century as senator from 1954, Hollings was elected to the Senate after Senator Johnston, Strom's senior senator, died a decade or so later.

Hollings had been one of South Carolina's youngest governors. He tried to unseat Johnston in the 1962 primary, but he didn't have chance those days against a seated senator. He had to wait for Johnston to die, the traditional way a seat opened in the South.

So Senator Hollings was finally elected to the Senate in 1967, and was Strom's junior senator from his relative youth to his very old age when he finally resigned in 2005. Poor old Hollings! Not only was he always the "junior senator," but his home office in Columbia was for a long time in the Strom Thurmond Federal Building!

Strom left office in 2003. So Hollings had only two years as senior senator. All of Hollings' life, with almost no exceptions, Southern senators went straight from their congressional seats to their graves.

But Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, a relatively youthful -- compared to Strom -- 77 years of age, had to resign in 2005 because he stood no chance of reelection.

He was never even considered for the second place on the national ticket. But in going for it he became, as the media said happily, "a surprisingly liberal senator for the Deep South."

So "surprisingly liberal" that by 2004, all his years of favors and seniority didn't give him a chance of reelection.

Hollings had been extremely popular as one of the youngest governors in our history. You have to know the old Deep South politics to realize how hard it is for a popular senator to get his constituency down there so disgusted that he didn't even try for reelection.

What happened was that Fritz had tried to sell out in a buyer's market. He became a more and more militant turncoat, hoping for the vice presidential slot on the national ticket.

But what he and so many other "shrew" Southern politicos didn't realize was that Southern turncoats are a nickel a thousand.

Hollings was so furious at being given nothing in the years he was sacrificing his seat in 2004 that he did the most offensive thing he could imagine to those who didn't buy him. His last year, he denounced the puppet like support of Israel in congress!

He did that about the time, spring of 2004, when he saw that the polls demonstrated his cause was hopeless.

In Part II, we will watch another popular SC governor destroy himself by trying to sell out in the buyers' market for Southern traitors on the Republicans side.
