THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

YES, SIMMONS, IT'S NECESSARY | 2009-12-08

To answer Simmons' question at the end, it happens to be what the blog at its best is all about.

Simmons replies to my last article on him and Horus:

I thought I was clear of what audience I foisted my Mantra heresy upon. Horus calls them people of the consensus trance, Caste Football calls them the "drunk white fans", and Bob calls them Mommy Prof's puppets, but one thing they have in common is that they do not think, they are conditioned and trained to hold and speak certain yiews. Debating them is like debating your TV and I mean that literally because the TV tells them what to say and how to act and what to buy and basically how to live their lives.

Your point is well taken it is about Genocide, but first I do the yeoman's work of the thin edge of the wedge that breaks down the crazy Aunt Sally level of Political Correctness which is that thin shell which protects the yolk, basically by projecting an image of out of control hysteria. (or the Blazing Saddles version, "stop or I shoot the nigger")

Break down the fear of the crazy Aunt Sallies then the Mommy Profs are ours, they are like bald baby mice, and the cat has found their nest. First, "Anti-white" then "Genocide", first we create people who can stand up to the CASs then we feed them the line of genocide then the profs feel the fangs.

Abstract polemical thought is all good and well, but remember the Simmons theorem, "Its all personal." Abstract hypothesis is just that, abstract.

If needed I will cite personal examples of how this works from my own experiences and from others on our board, but for now modesty bids me to quit.

IF YOU DONT TRIVIALIZE MARRIAGE, YOURE A RACIST | 2010-09-08

"YOU marry who YOU are in love with. Nothing else matters."

I hear PREACHERS saying this, I hear priests saying this.

Tiger Woods would never marry a girl who looked the way his mixed-blood children would look. That is why it comes so often from the pulpit. It is today's church morality.

They are actually saying that the only thing that counts in marrying is whether or not "Tammy's in Love." But nobody seems to notice how ludicrous this bald statement is.

I was picking up my wife at a beauty shop and a woman said, about miscegenation, "Looks don't matter." She was in the process of having a beauty treatment my wife couldn't afford.

I said something like "So what are you doing HERE?" and she never spoke to my wife again.

The Wedding at Cana would not have been blessed by Jesus if the couple had not both been Jews. I have been to interfaith marriages, and the rabbi met the couple in the reception room. I knew a couple that looked long and hard and unsuccessfully for a rabbi in the whole Metropolitan Washington area to marry them.

If a woman marries a man who cannot take care of their children, the "I was in love" excuse is IMMORAL.

People are always puzzling over the collapse of the institution of marriage. But they never think about the hunger for miscegenation has trivialized it.

"You marry who YOU are in love with, Nothing else matters." The children do not matter. In polls women always say they want good-looking children, but they also say it doesn't matter what he LOOKS like.

The last time some wisdom was spoken on this subject was by Marilyn Monroe in Gentleman Prefer Blondes. She told the rich father, "No, a girl shouldn't marry a man just because he is rich."

"And a man shouldn't marry a woman just because she's pretty."

"But my goodness, it HELPS."

The song said, "Your Daddy is rich and your mama's good-lookin', so hush little baby, don't you cry." But the illiterate Mammy would have been to wise to say that all that matters is those two things.

If this requires explanation, I won't be able to give it to you. To say that a union that bears children should depend entirely on how a man and woman FEEL about each other at the moment is insane.

And if you don't say it, you're a racist.

YOUTH AND COMMENTS | 2005-12-15

Thank you.

There is a big difference between me theorizing about talking to young people and a young person saying I am doing a good job of it.

So much for being graceful. I will now go back to being the crabby old bastard you are used to.

You start with, "Mr. Whitaker, I hope you don't mind the comments of a young man. "

I just got through lecturing Sheri on not apologizing for having your say. We are the people of the United States of America. The whole point is that we have our say. One of my major objectives is to stop people like you and Sheri from being intimidated by age, "Big time qualifications" and all the other crap that is gagging our people today.

My dream is the day when we start looking these professors and "experts" in the eye and saying, "Who in the HELL do you think you are?"

Now to your specific point.

In my many years I have seen several kinds of old man I do not want to be become.

1) You specified one great danger that even I could still fall into: the crabby old bitcher.

You know the drill:

"Well, I tried and tried to tell them but they wouldn't listen and now all is lost." Everybody gets into that mood from time to time, but with an old man, it can become incurable.

The fact is, that if I get that way, I am giving up on the world you and your children and your grandchildren are STILL going to have to live in. Not to mince words, it means that I have BETRAYED you.

Don't let me.

2) I discussed another type of old man I do not want to become in the article "Maturity is a Virtue." That is the pathetic old man who keeps trying to prove to everybody that he is still a young guy, one of the boys.

Young people already have young pals. So a white-haired old man trying to be one of the guys is not just pathetic, he is useless.

3) A third type of old man I don't want to become is the exact opposite of 2). He leans back and talks endlessly about What Young People Need to Know while said young people try to stay awake out of respect and the possibility that the old goat will finally die and leave them something in his will.

One thing every professional writer or speaker must learn up front is to read his audience. When I speak I watch my listener(s) to the point that some of them get uncomfortable. I know the exact moment when their mind wanders.

But in this blog, I cannot see your face. I can only read you if you write to me. And you know very well that I read every comment several times and reply to most of them. Some of the best comments for ME are the ones I do NOT answer directly, because they tell ME something I need to know but the general audience may not be directly interested in.

And let me repeat one of my mantras: the point of the world is your OPINION. Americans must once again learn that art is not art's sake and politics is not for politicians sakes. An art critic's opinion or an artist's opinion doesn't mean a damned thing if what he produces doesn't appeal to YOU. If it's good, it will get an audience.

If a piece of "art" can't find ANY audience in a population of three hundred million people because it expresses the hidden obsession of the "artist" and the "critic" with his mother's breasts, it should be dropped in the garbage bin that has "Embarrassing Twaddle" written on it.

This is even more true of politics. It's your country and everybody owes YOU an explanation.

By the same token, an old man's advice is not for the old guy's sake.

Back to the third type of old man you must keep me from becoming. It is easy for someone who is retired and likes to talk -- like me -- to wander off into dribbling out whatever he feels like saying. The only group of people who can protect me from doing this is my readers.

I do a lot of work here and I pay for the blog (it costs very little). Most important, I went through a lot to get the background that can be useful to you. So you owe ME some things in return.

One of the things you owe me is to push the blog and get me more readers and to spread my ideas.

But the other thing you owe me is to keep Bob's Blog WORTH reading.

That requires both nice comments and criticism without apology.

I like the flowers. I NEED the flowers. As I said at the outset, for a young man to tell me I am useful to him is better than my telling that to myself.

If I am doing something right, tell me so. I do not get tired of encouragement. This is a lonely business and when I see that Comments (0) I am a bit disappointed.

But every flower garden needs some good stinky manure, too.

You would think that all the BS I throw around here would be enough for any garden, but flowers, like humans, need a varied diet.

Don't apologize for disagreeing with me. It may surprise you to learn that in over half a century I have spent in politics a lot of people have disagreed with me and I have survived it nicely. Even hate mail gives me a boost compared to silence, though I don't reprint most of it here.

Writing is a two-way street or it is a dead end.

Thanks again and keep it up.

Without the apologies.

IT DIDN'T WORK IN BOSNIA, SO LET'S IMPOSE IT ON KOSOVO | 1999-08-28

According to Neely Tucker of Knight Ridder Newspapers, "Resolving Bosnia's dilemma is critical, for the leaders who will sign the pact are basing their hopes for peace in the ravaged Yugoslav province of Kosovo on a Bosnian success story."

The only catch is that Bosnia is a complete disaster. Spanish diplomat Carlos Westendorp has been dictator of Bosnia ever since this multicultural state was formed by brute military force four years ago. The music for a national anthem was picked by Westendorp, because no one in this multicultural state could agree on one. That national anthem has no words, because the multicultural state cannot agree on any. Economic reforms which would change the old Communist system have not occurred, because the multicultural state can't agree on any changes. It is stagnant.

"Westendorp also created Bosnia's new passports, currency, flag, coat of arms and license plates because nobody could agree on any of it."

And the troops have to stay in Bosnia because if they go, everybody agrees that the citizens of this wonderful multicultural state will kill each other.

Like all liberal programs, multicultural Bosnia doesn't WORK (Please see April 17 article, "Balkan Peace: The Case for Segregation").

So everybody agrees it needs to be forced on somebody else (May 8, "Why Power Hungry Elites Want 'Multiculturalism").

Those who want permanent domination through multiculturalism do not worry about ever having to leave places like multicultural Kosovo or multicultural Bosnia. The wonderful thing about a multicultural state is that it doesn't WORK. That means that the international elite, the International Corps of Experts, will stay and rule forever.

As one resident put it, "As long as Bosnia exists, NATO must stay. The minute NATO leaves, Bosnia will be destroyed." So for millions of people, every decision will be made by Westendorp or one of his fellow bureaucrats.

In the end, multiculturalism only exists when it is enforced. For those who rule by enforcing it, this is just fine.
