Two Worthy Books: One on Immigration, the Other on Slavery

I have read two worthy books in the past two weeks, ones that I recommend.  They are:

1.  The Path to National Suicide - an Essay on Immigration and Multiculturalism, by Lawrence Auster.  This book explains how, due to liberal ideology, our borders were opened in 1965, and how the resulting transformation of America's ethnic composition helped fuel the ideology of multiculturalism which is changing the demographics of America in radical ways.  Auster does not argue that all non-European immigration be halted, but that it is occurring too much and too fast for new immigrants to be successfully assimilated into our Anglo-Saxon, Judeo-Christian culture.  The demographics of America prior to the 1965 immigration act should be restored and preserved, in order to retain our culture, forms of government and traditions.

I found the pamphlet very well written and argued.

2. The Myths of American Slavery, by Walter D. Kennedy.  The actual history of slavery in the United States includes the North's enormous culpability in the institution, as well as its hypocrisy.  The author convincingly refutes the many slanders and falsehoods about the Confederacy, the Southern states, and the myths about the institution of African slavery.  Note:  exposing the whole truth about slavery is not "defending slavery," so please don't go there.  If you adore Lincoln as a demi-god and like to repeat the simplistic falsehoods of the Northern Myth, you won't like this book -- and that's why you should read it.

There is no way you can honor, respect or admire the Yankee invasion of the South in 1861 without undermining your own freedom in the here and now.

Freakout Nation Freaks Out Over a Child's Hat

A little black boy in North Carolina was given a Confederate kepi as a prize at his grade school.  As he stepped off the bus on his way home, his mom freaked out.  Omigod, a Confederate kepi!  Slavery!  Racism!  Some dumb-ass leftwing site (Freakout Nation) picked up the story and are now wallowing in self-righteousness.  They don't realize it, but they are also wallowing in ignorance.

The Northern Myth (that righteous Northerners fought the Evil South to free the slaves) is a matter of religious faith for the ignorant, a paean to the mighty federal government, who has the right to compel any of the formerly sovereign states to do what it wants, to invade those states with armies, make war on the population therein, and kill and destroy until the will of the populace is obliterated.  This is a blueprint for internal tyrants to reduce Americans to utter despotism, and even those conservatives who buy into it are promoting the unbridled power of the centralized government.

And no, the so-called Civil War was not fought over slavery.  There is no moral justification for Lincoln's war of aggression.  (Read the article before hitting me with all the Damn-Yankee talking points.)

I commented over at Freakout Nation, and was quickly banned from further commenting.  Ignoramuses do not appreciate any light allowed into their desiccated brains.

And He's Wearing a Kepi

I told them that this kid is not the first black to wear a Confederate kepi.  Many blacks did, in service to the South.  This unfortunate fact upsets the great moral, self-legitimating myth, and must be suppressed.  The brainwashed like their history nice and neat, like a file cabinet with two drawers, one marked "Good" and the other "Bad."  Actual history is not so neat and tidy, not so easily understood.  And, frankly, I am sick and tired of having ignoramuses slander my Confederate ancestors.

Secession and Slavery: Must we agree with the latter in order to agree with the former?

With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War approaching next year, we are hearing a lot of propaganda from the left about secession and slavery.

Apparently, the New York Times and Charles Johnson (of Little Green Footballs), say the South is "rewriting history" by celebrating the sesquicentennial of Southern secession by not mentioning slavery.  It is obvious what is going on here:  the left wants to politicize history.  They are insisting that the Northern myth of the war continue as the official history of the war between the states, i.e., that the North fought the South to force them to give up slavery over moral grounds and in support of racial equality and freedom for all.  The evil South, however, seceded rather than give up their slaves and therefore, started the Civil War.

Actually, the actual scenario is a bit more complicated than that.  I will go into it a bit more in subsequent posts.  However, the Northern-biased historians and the left want to fix this myth in the minds of the current and future generations, and they insist that any acknowledgement of Confederate or Southern history be indelibly linked to slavery.  You are officially forbidden to mention "Confederate" without also mentioning "slavery."  The same rule, however, does not apply to celebrations of the Fourth of July, where we honor former slave holding secessionists George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, to name but two, who led the fight for American independence.

It is important to state that the right of secession, which did exist and continues to exist, is not dependent upon the 19th century system of slavery.  Nor was the right of secession ended by the Civil War or by a subsequent Supreme Court erroneous edict that secession in unconstitutional.

Secession is indeed constitutional and may become necessary in the near future, if the historic power grab of the Democrats and the left cannot be stopped, and Islamization of Western Civilization continues.  Secession, however, will be a last resort, when all other avenues have failed.
