The Blessings of White Supremacy (Not Really) -- According to Fred Reed

I don't fancy myself a White Supremacist.  I assume that "white supremacy" is a political environment where the white race is given an official standing higher than that of other races.  No, my ego does not require that.  On the other hand, some far-out leftists believe we already live under such a system, one being Professor Cornel West, a man I have previously honored here at Saber Point.  See here, for instance.

Fred Reed, of "Fred On Everything," responds to Professor Cornel West's complaints about white supremacy and privilege. Reed writes:

We have White Supremacy, Professor, because for 2500 years we, whites, have produced the best minds on the planet, the greatest flourishing of the arts and sciences ever seen, the most complex and organized societies. We have White Supremacy, whatever exactly it may be, because we have been the earth’s most successful race. No other has come close. Deal with it.

That's right.  Other races need to pay us whites royalties for all the blessings we have bestowed upon them.  At least, that's Fred's take (probably satirical).  In any case, his points are well taken.  Read them all here:  Are White Men Gods?

As for you liberal pin-heads who came here hoping to refresh your biases, the heading in this post is intended as link bait.  On the other hand, there is much truth in Fred Reed's column.  You non-whites owe a hell of a lot to white people, so STFU about "white privilege" and "white supremacy."

Ready to Secede? #secession

The U.S.  Supreme Court has become a cruel joke.  They just saved Obamacare again, and enforced gay marriage on all 50 states by edict, in a 5-4 vote.  States can no longer decide for themselves whether or not to enact gay marriage or stay with the traditional view of marriage.  Now they have been ordered to accept it.

Once again, we see the power of the states slipping away, replaced by an arm of the federal government.  It is clear that the Republic is lost, the Constitution a relic -- perhaps fit only for a museum, right next to the Confederate flag.

Personally, I don't see any other option:  It is time for states to begin secession from the United States of America, and to form new unions or confederations as they see fit.

Computer Problems

Late yesterday my 4 year old Dell Inspiron Laptop started getting blue screens.  The situation deteriorated, and this morning while in Safe Mode, the computer went completely dark.  Now it no longer powers up at all.  Fortunately, I have a backup laptop, which I am now using.  I've spent the whole morning updating the McAfee virus checker, Windows 7, Acrobat, and RegCure.

I think I can recover my critical files by taking the hard drive out and using it as a portable hard drive -- this is not hard to do.  I'll attend to that later.

"Gone With the Wind" May Soon Be Gone With the Wind

The cultural cleansing progressives are on a roll.  Like Sherman's March to the Sea, they want to burn down the South, destroy everything in their path.  They are fueled by a hateful fanaticism.  Now they want to relegate the 1939 film "Gone With the Wind" to the museum, right along side the Confederate flag.  Dave Blount at Moonbattery writes:

The totalitarian impulse that drives political correctness is like fire. The more it consumes, the hungrier it becomes. Attempting to appease it would be insane. It will keep burning until it is forcibly stopped, or until there is nothing left to burn.

 Somewhere, some how, we have to stop this.

Death by a Thousand Cuts: the Slow Erasure of Our Liberties

Big Sister Is Watching

In the news this morning:  Louis Farrakhan, of the Nation of Islam (a Black Muslim organization), said it is the American flag that needs to be taken down:

“I don’t know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag. We need to put the American flag down. Because we’ve caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag.  Who are we fighting today? It’s the people that carry the American flag.”

In light of the latest hysterical attack on Southern heritage, more people are waking up.  It is not just Southern heritage that is dying the death of a thousand cuts, but American heritage.  America, as we know it, is being slowly replaced with something quite different than what the Founders intended.

At the bottom of it all is the left's desire to eradicate patriotism and cause shame for one's ancestors, to doubt the ultimate goodness of America.  If this can be accomplished, the populace will be less psychologically resistant to extreme political change -- namely, to instill a socialist/fascist government, one with absolute control over every facet of our lives, including what we believe, who and what we respect and revere.  By erasing or rewriting our past, they change our idea of who we were, are or should be.  He who controls the past, controls the future.  

Our past is being erased and our heroes replaced with a fanatical belief in the goodness and power of the state.   Conformity in thought, tradition, values, culture, language (i.e., what words and terms are allowed in public expression) will be enforced through absolute control of the media.  Public pressure and social ostracism will be applied to those who refuse to conform. Southerners and other Americans are being broken down psychologically so they can be rebuilt, much as soldiers are in boot camp.  We will all be soldiers in the new Army of the State.

"Dukes of Hazzard" Star Ben Jones Defends the Confederate Flag

Ben Jones, also known as "Cooter," isn't shy about castigating those who would remove the Confederate flag from the top of the "General Lee," the souped up orange colored car that was used in this popular televison series.  He defended the flag and Southern symbols on FaceBook.  His comments are below.

Democrat Jim Webb Stands Up For the Confederate Flag

Hmmm, I will consider voting for Jim Webb if he is the Democrats' candidate for President.  He is currently considering a run.

He has made some very common sense statements on the recent flag hysteria,  He wrote:

“This is an emotional time and we all need to think through these issues with a care that recognizes the need for change but also respects the complicated history of the Civil War,” Webb wrote in a post on Facebook.

He also said:

“We should also remember that honorable Americans fought on both sides in the Civil War, including slave holders in the Union Army from states such as Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, and that many non-slave holders fought for the South. It was in recognition of the character of soldiers on both sides that the federal government authorized the construction of the Confederate Memorial 100 years ago, on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

Powerline: "Democrats Get Their Crazy On"

Powerline has a great article on anti-South frenzy now being driven by the Democrats:  "Democrats Get Their Crazy On."

Rush Limbaugh is quoted, and Rush makes some insightful remarks on the controversy.  The left hates the South, because it is the most patriotic section of the country.

Why is the Confederate Flag a "Racist Symbol"?

The detractors of the Confederate flag, including the moron who sat in for Michael Savage today, one John DePetro, insist that the Confederate flag is a "symbol of racism."  However, who made it that way?

The Klan has sometimes used the flag, but they are a tiny minority of malcontents, and do not represent the great majority of people who see the flag as a sacred heritage symbol.  Apparently, those who misuse the flag are to be given credibility over the majority who do not.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans sued the Klan to make them stop using the flag, but lost the case.  The flag, it seems, is in the public domain and anyone can use it for whatever purpose they wish.

In 1991 the NAACP declared war on the Confederate flag, and began a campaign of eliminating it from the public square.  Since liberals see this organization as the voice of all black people, they quickly got on board.  Movies and films have used the flag in totally negative ways, always presenting it as a symbol of racism or other villains.  Remember the Tom Hanks film "Forrest Gump?"  Hooligans in a car chase poor Forrest Gump to bully him.  On their front bumper is a Confederate flag.  Such negative images are constantly insinuated into the mind of the public by popular media.  

The NAACP's motive was to create a program for their members.  Since this useless organization has failed miserably at solving the problems of black people, e.g. school drop-out rates, illegitimacy, crime, drug abuse and poverty, they needed something they could succeed at.  Something they could point to as a success.  Some symbol that could be used to motivate the membership, like waving a red flag at a bull.

Liberals and Yankee-philes find it easy to think of the flag as a racist symbol, because it agrees with their prejudices and preconceived notions, and because it reinforces the Northern Myth, i.e., that the evil South hated and mistreated blacks, but the enlightened North loved, emancipated and advanced blacks.  After years of this propaganda, it is of little wonder why the murderer Dylann Roof was photographed waving a Confederate flag.  No doubt he had been listening to liberals for far too long, about what they say the flag means, instead of what it actually means to most Southerners.  

Every time a Confederate flag, symbol or song is banished from the public domain, it strengthens the public perception that these icons represent race hatred and evil -- and the slander increases exponentially.  We have fought to preserve these icons, because to do less would be to abandon them to racial extremists.  Unfortunately, we are losing the fight.

I say that this undeserved reputation was created not so much by extremist groups like the Klan, but by popular media and morons like John DePetro, and by the esteemed but mistaken Mark Levin.

Not only am I not "racist" against these Southern blacks, I consider them my brothers and sisters, and love them much more than I could ever love a white liberal or white flag detractor.
