White America

Today Ole Miss beat LSU. SEC football is a huge concern for me, so I'm super excited about that. :-)

But before the game, Ole Miss suffered a small embarrassment. Some members of the Ku Klux Klan showed up to protest. My understanding is that Ole Miss traditionally sings a song called Dixie-something or another, and at the end fans have started chanting "The south will rise again!"

But some of the administration of the University don't like this tradition (can't imagine why...) and they requested that the fans stop adding that phrase to the song. Because it's offensive. And they didn't care. So then the University made the band stop playing the song all together. Like a punishment for an entire football stadium. Funny. lol.


Anyway, this information was very interesting to me, not because of the actual story (which is just stupid and annoying) but because of the information about the Klan. And how the articles about the protest have, like, little quotes from the Klan as though they simply found their statements in a press release packet. I thought they were like a big secret. Apparently not.

Cause I googled (or, actually, binged them) them and found their official website... which was a terrible website, production value-wise. I did find a lot of enlightening information though and decided to share with my loyal reader a list of my favorite points from the Klan's platform (yeah, they have a platform. oh dear).

• The recognition that America was founded as a Christian nation. As James Madison, known as the "Chief Architect of the Constitution" stated; " We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves to control ourselves to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

So... this is almost true. Of course, if you look up what other fathers of the constitution say about the founding of our country, you can pretty much find a quote to support anything. Plus this only gets funny later.

• The recognition that America was founded as a White nation. America was born as an extension of White European heritage. Those who formed the very ideals that we cherish such as freedom of speech, trial by jury, innocent until proven guilty, free enterprise, etc. were of White European heritage. All of the early laws of the United States from its very inception restricted citizenship to White people and all of the early charters, laws, compacts, etc were signed into effect by White people.

Riight. Never mind that whole thing about the Great American melting pot. Or the fact that the stregnth of the country was (and still is) due to minorities. As in not whites.

• Abolish all anti-gun laws and encourage every adult to own a weapon. The cure for crime in America is not take guns off the streets but to put more guns ON the streets. Violent criminals should be punished, but law abiding citizens should be allowed to defend their homes, business and families with out fear of the federal government treating them as the criminal.

Don't even get me started on how much I disagree with this. I can sometimes I can see where people think that gun laws should be abolished, even though I don't agree. But I fail completely to see how having more guns will cure crime in America. Ay yi yi.

• Put American troops on our border to STOP the flood of illegal aliens. America is being over run by illegal immigrants mostly from nonwhite countries who do not share the Christian European values of our nation's founders. Immigration should remain open to all White Christians throughout the world . There is not one single country that does not persecute it's White Christian citizens such as in South Africa where the violent crime against Whites is at an all time high. The entire reasoning behind the forming of America was to allow one place in the world where White Christians could live together in harmony without any outside interference from those of other religions or races.

I honestly don't even know what to say about that. Really? South Africa? That's your argument?

• Actively promote love and appreciation of our unique European (White) culture. We must recognize it as the bedrock of American liberty and self government.

The thing is, European culture is a lot of different cultures. Not unlike America. The only thing that really links Europeans is proximity and skin color. And they all don't have the same exact skin color. This is just silly.

• Drug testing for welfare recipients. We recognize that not everyone receiving assistance is on drugs, but those who are should not be receiving your tax money. Welfare should be for those who need it - not those who abuse it.

Plenty of people abuse welfare on things that are not drugs. And plenty of people do drugs that are not on welfare. This just smacks of discrimination. And it's such a sort of random thing to include on your list of assertions.

• Rehabilitate our public school system. We must remove the humanist influence in our schools and teach fact based curriculum to further the students knowledge not someone's opinion. Parents should have the option of private or home schooling if they prefer and students should be free to practice their Christian faith in the classroom.

But I don't understand. If America is founded on Christian principles, then shouldn't people be allowed to learn Christian beliefs in the classroom? Just like they should learn that America was founded for White people and we should all be so thankful that they even allow any other people into the country?

• We support a national law against the practice of homosexuality. This is a Christian nation and the Bible condemns homosexual activity and the perversion of our society which it encourages.
• We support the placing of all persons HIV positive into national hospitals. While the AIDS virus is almost inclusive to homosexuals and those not of European ancestry, many innocent people have contacted the virus. Despite the moral character of a person, the virus is still highly contagious with new and deadlier forms coming out constantly. Everyone who gets it dies! Aids carriers should receive proper medical care while a cure is being researched. This is the only way to stop the spread of the disease. They should be kept from coming into contact with uninfected people.

Two for one. If education shouldn't be related to religion, then neither should laws. And that whole thing about HIV being highly contagious and everyone who gets it dies... well, that's just plain ridiculous. Open a book sometime.

• Restoring individual freedom to Christian America. People should be allowed to hire who they want, live where they want and practice the Christian faith as they please. Likewise people should be able to sell to whom they want , rent to whom they want and socialize and conduct business with who they want. The government should not interfere with the everyday lives of white Christian Americans.

As I understand the whole constitution thing... everyone does have the right to do those things. The thing you don't have the right to do is discriminate based on color. Which I'm guessing White American's wouldn't like either.

• We support the voluntary repatriation of everyone not satisfied with living under White Christian rules of conduct back to the native lands of their people. The brightest and best minds of all races will be able to run their own affairs without outside interference. To support their efforts we should provide the financial and technological resources needed for a limited period of time in the building or rebuilding of their independent nations. After that their success or failure is totally up to them.

Kay. Thanks, I'll just go to Africa and live there. It'll be just like my life in America I'm sure.

Gotta love extremists groups. Oh Southern America.

With love

PS: just for the record, I don't support the Klan nor to I condone their actions or beliefs... anything I said that seemed in agreement... tongue in cheek. And if you agree with any of it... I really don't care. :-)

My Grown-Up Christmas List...

Sort of. I love that song, and I love any and all simple idealistic wishes for peace on earth and goodwill towards men. More than that, I love when people make real actual efforts to promote peace and are good to other men. But that's neither here nor there. This is a different kind of list.

Top 10 Christmas movies.

I love Christmas. It's my second favorite holiday, and I am pretty obsessed with it. I buy tons of gifts and decorate my apartment as though it's the white house or something. :-) Buttttt what I really love are Christmas movies. So without further ado, my top 10 list.

• 10) I'll Be Home for Christmas: Jonathan Taylor Thomas (aka everyone my age's childhood crush) is a privileged little jerk that travels across the country to try to win the affections of Jessica Biel (before Justin). Best scene: when the trucker woos his waitress lover. "Oh Marjorie! Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby!"
  

• 9) Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. One of very few sequels I think Disney got right. Except, of course, it's not so much a sequel as a "between"-cle. Anyway, Belle discovers the angry organ and teaches him and the Beast (and the rest of the castle) the Magic of Christmas. Best scene: "As long as there's Christmas, I truly believe that hope is the greatest of the gifts we receive..." great song. Further proof that Belle is the best Disney princess ever. Plus fun new Piccolo character. hehe. One negative: Computer animation for the organ. creepy.
  

• 8) Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Yes, I chose 2 and not the original one. Both are amazing. I'm just partial to New York. I love the Plaza and the whole ordeal with the house and the ridiculous coincidence that the same creepers from the first movie happen to be in NYC at the same time Kevin is there. Best scene: the pigeon woman and her love of the opera. Priceless, and so moving. negative: nothing quite as funny as the brother in the first movie "One... b... and 4." plus no Carol of the Bells.
  

• 7) A Christmas Carol (with Patrick Stewart): I just love a Christmas Carol (although not as much as my mother, who owns 4 versions of the movie, and watches at least 9 every year), and this one is the most classic to me. Clearly Patrick Stewart is the best Scrooge ever and of course the story is the ultimate Christmas moral: don't be greedy or a creepy dementor looking thingie will threaten your life. Best scene: "Are there no jails and poorhouses?" "Some would rather die than go to those places" "Well, if they're going to die, they better go ahead and do it and decrease the surplus population." Oooooh.
  

• 6) Elf: Some people don't like Will Ferrell. They suck, I love Will Ferrell. and this is my 2nd favorite Will Ferrell role (after Stranger than Fiction). So funny, and featuring the lovely Zooey Deschanel. Another wonderful Christmas moral, and lots of hilarious one liners. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. I definitely believe that. :-) Best scene: tie between when he runs into the lockers in the bathroom (haha) and the Santa encounter.
  

• 5) Miracle on 34th Street (1990's version). I'm a sucker for Mara Wilson (whatever happened to her?), and for the American court system. And the guy from the Practice. Best Scene: the proposal and unseen marriage. I'm a romantic.
  

• 4) It's a Wonderful Life: If you don't love this movie, you haven't seen it. Every time I watch it, I cry. Jimmy Stewart is amazing, and the entire story is just so classic. Best scene: Of course, "every time a bell rings, and angel gets its wings." I totally believe that.
  

• 3) Christmas Vacation: So so so so funny. There's a reason it's on everyone's list of favorite Christmas movies. Chevy Chase at his best, for sure. Best scene: the rant after Chevy Chase's breakdown. One day I'm going to learn it by heart. For now, I'm just going to laugh during it. haha!
  

• 2) A Christmas Story: Ralphie!! It's like the Wonder Years, but longer and cruder. Well, it has a voiceover like the Wonder Years. Plus the boy from Toy. "He had yellow eyes!" hehe. If you haven't seen this one, then you need to stop whatever you're doing and watch it. Immediately. Best scene: meeting Santa. or Christmas dinner. Or the f dash dash dash word. Or the tongue to the pole. Or the whole movie. Whichever.
  

• 1) A Muppet Christmas Carol. BEST. MOVIE. EVER. It has everything. Kermit as Cratchit. Gonzo narrating. Rizzo the rat. Michael Caine. and singing. Soooo good. Plus my favorite Christmas tale, as I've already said. Best scene: could never choose. Buuuut I really like the sad song that randomly shows up in the middle. "And yes, some dreams come true, and yes some dreams fall through."

That was too sad to end on.

"It's true that Christmas has never put a penny in my pocket, but I believe it has done me good and will do me good, and I say God bless it!"

With love
