SOBSISTER HISTORY | 2005-07-16

This week's internet radio show on Saturday at 2pm at THE UNTRAINED EYE will be called "Sobsister History."

Young people may not remember the term "sobsister."

A sobsister is some woman who sits around moaning and groaning about how bad things are for her. Older people may smile when they hear the term sobsister because all they remember is how silly sobsisters were.

What they DON'T remember is how VICIOUS sobsisters were.

Here is a woman whose family has probably been supporting and putting up with her for decades. All they get in return from her is being told how horrible they are. There was no rumor or smear too vicious for a sobsister to spread about her own long-suffering family to show how evil they were. Such smears helped her to prove they were the horrible people she said they were.

Our history today is entirely "Sobsister History." It is based on showing how white gentile Americans, who created America, are really just nasty, vicious, mean, and have no redeeming qualities.

Every respectable conservative and every liberal, those who represent what is "both sides" in our political debate, agree that to solve the "race" problem," the white race must go.

That would be ideal.

That is what passes for Idealism today. A white gentile who attacks his own race is considered an Idealist. For some reason he is not considered a traitor. He is considered an Idealist who is making some sort of great sacrifice by demanding the end of himself, and his own kind.

If that is regarded as IDEALISM in a society, you can imagine the depths to which such a society can plummet when it is not being "idealistic!"

Christianity -- Once a religion, it is now simply self-hatred

Judaism -- Once a religion, it is now pure self-pity.

REAL LOYALTY VERSUS AMERICAN "PATRIOTISM" | 2003-03-15

O'Reilly is upset that a Moslem FBI agent refused to wear a wire when meeting with Arabs suspected of terrorism. "A Moslem," said the FBI agent, "does not record other Moslems."

So what's the problem?

When O'Reilly asked John McCain whether Mexican-Americans should vote on immigration policy in the interests of other Americans, McCain said flatly that Hispanic Americans owed their loyalty to "Hispanic culture." O'Reilly did not say a word.

Please see June 15, 2002 - PATRIOT MCCAIN SAYS STOP DEMANDING LOYALTY FROM MINORITY GROUPS!

So why should anybody be upset at the Moslem who is following McCain's rules?

No one faults a Jew for demanding that Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard be released. Alan Dershowitz demands Pollard's release and is constantly warning that America is out to get the Jews. Geraldo Riviera states that he would give his life for Israel. Evangelical Christian leaders keep telling us that America is nice, but God is only interested in Israel.

MAURICE BESSINGER DOESN'T TALK ABOUT COMBAT | 2002-02-02

I am bragging when I point out that I have known Maurice Bessinger for decades. We talked for many hours through the years. But I only heard him mention his Korean War experiences once.

He said he was walking guard duty in Korea with a Republic of Korea (ROK) soldier during the Korean War. The ROK soldier said for Maurice to stay on guard and he would go back and go to sleep.

A little later, an ROK officer showed up and asked Maurice where the ROK guard was. Maurice told him. The officer walked back to where the soldier was sleeping and a minute later Maurice heard the sharp crack of his pistol. He had shot the guard while he lay there asleep.

That was all Maurice ever said to me about Korea in all our many hours of conversation.

I came to find out later that Maurice Bessinger was in the most vicious part of the fighting in that awful war. But he simply never mentioned it.

I have known a lot of people who talk constantly about combat and others like Maurice who mention it barely or not at all. The ones who talk about it usually make you feel that they want you to feel responsible for it all. You owe them more money for it, and only they have any right to talk about war.

Then there are people like Maurice who don't claim some kind of special godhood from their time in combat. I was raised with the World War II generation, so I am very familiar with both types.

A very simple rule separates the braggarts and the real heroes like Maurice.

Maurice Bessinger did his fighting and then went back to being a citizen. He has had one hell of a life since then.

Another guy I know fought for five months in World War II, then he became an alcoholic and stayed in the service. Because he had won a Silver Star, they let him stay in, drunkenness and all.

This guy talks about nothing but World War II. He tells how he is the only person who should talk about war. He says we owe him.

The latter gentleman beats his chest so much I think he's broken some ribs.

The guy who talks about his college football days or his time in service all the time, hoping you will feel obligated and inferior, is almost invariably somebody who has not had a life since. I saw an outstanding example just a couple of years ago on the television program, "Cops."

The cops were called to a bar where an old guy kept pulling his pants down. When they arrived, he shouted that he had been at D-Day. I wonder how many times he has used that to stay out of jail.

Maurice Bessinger has shown physical courage in war, but he has also shown MORAL courage by taking the field in politics. It has cost him dearly. A major part of his life's work has been destroyed because he dared to speak out. Bessinger will never have to convince anyone worth talking to that he is a hero.
