Proposition Be Gone!
J. Michael Hill - LS President

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. – Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863

Ignoring the first 200 or so years of American history neo-cons and various revolutionaries today insist that the United States is a “proposition nation.” By that they refer to the opening line of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and allow Lincoln’s silly and false assertion to re-write American history and make the United States the carrier of a revolutionary philosophy that its Founders would have rejected with contempt. The Founders understood, of course, that lasting nations arise organically, from religion, people, soil, and tradition.

 Abstraction Or Reality?

The League of the South, unlike the America of the New World Order, is not wedded to a universal proposition: equality, democracy, or the rights of man, but to a real historical order based on place and kin. If we are to survive as a distinct people with a physical place to live, work, and worship, then we must never waver from this commitment. Men much wiser than we can hope to be repeatedly caution that it is from our fathers, and not from abstractions, that we draw our sustenance as a separate, distinct, God-ordained people.

But for the past half-century, both liberals and neo-conservatives have worked to discredit nature: that a human’s first temporal allegiance is to kith and kin. These self-appointed social engineers are trying to reshape Creation according to their own false notions of good and evil. Attempting to rebuild the Tower of Babel, they would nullify the Biblical and historical reality of true nationhood.  

Southerners have always understood that a nation is not some abstract or proposition. Such threads are too weak to bind a nation. Only blood and shared tradition supplies that cement. As Southerner Stark Young wrote in So Red The Rose, “It’s not to our credit to think we began today and it’s not to our glory to think we end today. All through time we keep coming in to the shore like waves, like waves. You stick to your blood, son; there’s a fierceness in blood can bind you up with a long community of life.”  

Long before Stark Young, Patrick Henry, the greatest of the American Founders, had already recognized this. “We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty; our glorious grandfathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of everything. We draw that spirit of liberty from our British ancestors.”  

Buried Under Strangers  

Today, totalitarians of all stripes champion “equality” by pushing for an “open door” immigration policy to the Third World. They don’t care whether the thousands upon thousands of Muslims, Latinos, and other non-Western peoples threaten the economic, racial, ethnic, and cultural balance of our country. Rather, since they hold sacred the “rights of man,” they view America as the world’s first universal nation, dedicated to the “proposition” that all men and cultures are created equal. The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, subsequent legislation, and judicial edicts have allowed into the U.S. millions of non-Europeans while closing the “Golden Door” to European immigrants. They encourage Third World immigrants—both legal and illegal—to maintain their own cultures and languages while plundering America’s taxpaying citizens.  

Echoing In Our Ears  

If history does not repeat itself, it certainly echoes. The imperial United States today recalls the Roman Empire when barbarian Germanic tribes were overrunning Rome’s frontier. No deep-rooted racial or cultural antagonism lay between Roman and German because the tribesmen envied and admired Roman civilization—as far as they understood it. To destroy Rome was not their wish; to save Rome was beyond them. Not having created it, they could never understand what made it work. Like leeches, they could only suck it dry.  

Eventually, even under the best circumstances, a huge alien influx loyal only to our prosperity will weaken and destroy our civilization. They lack both the desire and the understanding to preserve vital institutions, but meanwhile their numbers will overrun us. We will cease to control the homeland bequeathed us by our ancestors—generations of noble and honorable men and women.  

Perhaps we will suffer a fate worse than Rome’s. Already, radical Latinos have launched a reconquista [re-conquest] of the U.S. southwest, while federal judges thwart volunteer efforts to turn back the tide. Never mind the speechifying, what do government actions show? Which side have our rulers taken? Clearly, not ours.  

Survive or Die?  

To survive and prosper, we have to adopt Frank Owsley’s attitude. The great Southern historian who said, “The term ‘folk’ has for its primary meaning a group of kindred people, forming a tribe or nation [in the truest sense of the word]; a people bound together by ties of race, language, religion, custom, tradition, and history... A folk thus possesses a sense of solidarity and is quite different from a conglomerate mass of people. It has most if not all of the characteristics of nationalism [again, properly defined]. Indeed, it may be contended with much force that there can be no true nationalism where the population does not constitute a folk.”  

Our primary objective should be to preserve our people—kith and kin—on their ancestral lands. Without our land, we cannot exist. The Southern people are not a “universal idea” any more than Germany, Holland, or Spain. There can be no Scotland in France among the French, but only in Scotland among the Scots. Once we secure our future as “the Southern people,” then, and only then, can we bring back States Rights and gain our independence. The South is a true nation built on realities of place and kinshipand history. Without it, we cannot survive.  

What do we need?  

-- A South where our borders are sealed against massive immigration.

-- A South where the Southern people protect their interests from the ravages of multiculturalism and phony diversity.

-- A South where a prosperous, self-confident, and distinct people can welcome into its ranks, by its own choice and on its own terms, productive and sympathetic immigrants. 

-- A South that will be a beacon to those nations defending a traditional way of life against abstract ideologies and a new world order. 

-- A South where Southerners can answer beyond doubt “Who are we?” 

When we know who we are and are willing to defend ourselves and our posterity, then we shall be a truly free people. If we fail to grapple with this basic question, we shall end up in the proverbial “dustbin of history”—unsung, unworthy, and unlamented.

Fir all y’all who ain’t awahr, thar’s two bills up ahr in-att den of sausage-makin’ which’d affect Colorader gun owners, actual-uns ‘n potential-uns.  The first is Senate Bill 51, which’d prevent th’ guvnor frum suspendin’ or limitin’ th’ sale, dispensin’ ‘r transportation of firearms durin’ a state of disaster emergencies.  It strikes th’ word “firearms” frum th’ existin’ legislation, which allows th’ guvnor to suspend or limit th’ sale, dispensin’ ‘n transportation of “alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives or combustibles” durin’ such an emergency.  Read the bill here. 

Th’ usual suspects from Colorader damn fool libruldom are of course agin’ th’ bill.  Th’ ladies (n’ feminized gentlemen) of th’ Colorado Million Mom March 'n Colorado Ceasefire have sent out an e-mail t’ they membership askin’ ‘em t’ contact they representatives t' vote agin th’ bill.  ‘N surely th’ damn fool libruls of Colorader everwhar are opposin’-iss proposed legislation.  Most likely too, Tax Ritter th’ Quitter’ll veto th’ bill ifn’ it ever gits t' his desk.

‘Course, we gunnies in th’ know have lohng since bought ‘n stored – ‘n are still buyin ‘n storin’ -  our guns n’ ammo.  So, as fir as th’ “sales” part of th’ existin’ legislation is corncerned, if th’ bill fails it will ohnly discriminate ‘ginst ‘em benighted gunless folk who may - expectedly 'n real quick like - want a gun during a time of crisis.  Too bad, so sad.  Shudda lissened to us, y’all wussy hoplophobes, 'n created yir arsenal lohng ago.

As fir as th’ rest-a th’ existin’ legislation is corncerned, to wit, th’ dispensin’ ‘n transportation of guns durin’ a time of crisis, ‘l, th’ guvnor kin jus’ go hang ifn’ he ever tries to “suspend or limit” them activities.  Cuz, when crisis comes, we gohnna have us some ad hoc militias all across Colorader, whether th’ statists like it or not.  This means we’ll be distributin’ ‘n transportin’ our guns wherever we damn well please, ‘n woe t’ th’ LEOs who try t’ stop us.  Th' cops, sheriffs 'n National Guard kin either work with us t’ hep Colorader git through th’ emergency, or work agin us.  It’s they call.  We do not defer to or rely upohn th’ state’s official paramilitary ‘n military forces t’ look aifter our best interests.  We, the self-reliant sovereigns, th’ people, ohnly aisk ‘em officers t’ hep us;  “to protect and SERVE”, dammit, not lord it over us for our own good.  'N we decide wut is good fir us, not th’ goddamn state.

Th’ second bill up ait th’ Statehouse warms th’ cockles of-iss Confederatarian’s heart, fir it mirrors wut a number of other states’re tryin’ to do, which is a Tenth-Amendment challenge to th’ Fed’ruls that’d nullify all Fed’rul governin’ as t’ firearms, firearms accessories ‘n ammo  made and kept within’ th’ State of Colorado.  The proposed legislation is Senate Bill 92, which kin be red here. 

‘Course, this-un’ll likely fail too, if not at th’ state level at th’ Fed’rul one by th' dictate of sum damn fool librul black-robed filosofer king, but that wohn’t stop us Confederatarian ‘n Tenther types t’ keep pushin’-iss sorta thang in the name of th’ Tenth Amendment ‘n states’ rights.  Gotta start sumwhars.  ‘N one day we WILL prevail, cuz libruls ain’t fit t’ rule either th’ State of Colorader or th’ Fed’rul gummint (whose days are numbered, as all empires’ days are numbered).

Th’ fun’s beginnin’, folks.  Th’ Millions Upon Millions of Americans’ March ‘ginst stupid-ass ‘n unconstitutional laws has begun.  All part-a th’ "Middle American Revolution" described here.  Y’all libruls ‘n pseudoconservative statists oughta be skeered, cuz we’re mad as hell ‘n ain’ gohnna take it no more.  We're jus' sayin' no.

"No", Guvnor Quitter 'n y'all damn fool Colorader libruls - ye wohn't prevent US frum sellin', dispensin' 'r transportin' our guns durin' a state of emergency, no matter if SB 51 becomes law or not.  "No",  y'all Fed'ruls - y'all wohn't be rulin' us in violation of th' Tenth Amendment, no matter wut yir damned judges say.  Y'all WILL go down one-a these days soon, 'n ohnly th' sovereign, confederated states'll be left.  Cain't wait.

Sum folk ait The Economist over thar in Great Britun thank maybe so.

Here's sum-a wut they say:

The size and power of the state is growing, and discontent is on the rise.

In the aftermath of the Senate election in Massachusetts, the focus of attention is inevitably on what it means for Barack Obama. The impact on the Democratic president of the loss of the late Ted Kennedy’s seat to the Republicans will, no doubt, be significant (see article). Yet the result could be remembered as a message more profound than the disparate mutterings of a grumpy electorate that has lost faith in its leader—as a growl of hostility to the rising power of the state.

America’s most vibrant political force at the moment is the anti-tax tea-party movement. Even in leftish Massachusetts people are worried that Mr Obama’s spending splurge, notably his still-unpassed health-care bill, will send the deficit soaring. In Britain, where elections are usually spending competitions, the contest this year will be fought about where to cut. Even in regions as historically statist as Scandinavia and southern Europe debates are beginning to emerge about the size and effectiveness of government.

There are good reasons, as well as bad ones, why the state is growing; but the trend must be reversed. Doing so will prove exceedingly hard—not least because the bigger and more powerful the state gets, the more it tends to grow. But electorates, as in Massachusetts, eventually revolt; and such expressions of voters’ fury are likely to shape politics in the years to come.

Them folk ait The Economist go ohn t' give sum reasons why we small gummint, confederalist Rebels 'r 'bout t' give th' statists a serious ass whoopin': th' financial crisis, wharby them slicky boys ohn Wall Street, with th' aidin' 'n abettin' of th' Federals, privatize they profits but socialize they losses; burdensome regulashuns; popular hatred of globalism.

But th' article is weak ohn how th' megastate is corrosive of all our liberties.  Leviathan wants our guns, wants t' snoop in our records 'n communicatin' devices, wants t' tell us wut we kin 'n cain't say, wants t' save us from oursevves whin it comes t' liefstyle choices, wants t' stop us from a'spankin' our critters, 'n wutnot.   'N that makes us jus' as mad as whin they take our property.

'N we losin' our liberties and property ohnly a LITTLE more slowly under th' Stupid Party (GOP) thin' we do th' Ass Party.

'Course, 'em Yankees who purport to "lead" us from th' Imperial City thar on th' Potomac are a'clueless as t' th' anger att's a'brewin' in Middle America.  Witness th' utter cluelessness with which Obongo the Boy Wunder has exhibited in th' light of th' Brown election in MA.  Look at all th' spin frum th' damn fool libruls:  "Brown won because we've failed to lead (i.e., pass Obamacare)."

They remind me of Nicolae Ceauşescu in the weeks, 'n even moments, before th' Romanian rebels shot him 'n his wife ded.  He is purported t' haive sed t' his executioners, "But don't you know who I am?"  Such is th' hubris of statists, commie or "liberal democratic."

Thank it cain't happen here?  Thank-att th' Fed'rul behemoth is all-powerful 'n eternal?  Thank agin'.  I posted recently 'bout Russell Longcore's scenario 'bout how th' U.S. might collapse jus' as surely as th' Soviet Union did.   'N th' end of the Yankee megastate cuddn't happen too soon fir ol' Jones.  How 'bout y'all?

Read 'bout it ait th' Denver Post here.  Sum quotes:

The issue has sharply divided campus communities since December, when student, faculty and administrative groups split over whether to ban concealed weapons.

Faculty members voted for the ban. Student leaders at the campuses voted against it. . . .

CSU-Pueblo student body president Steve Titus said he was surprised when student leaders voted 8-1 on Monday against a concealed-weapons ban.

"There is this idea that this would infringe on someone's constitutional rights, but it really isn't," Titus said. "We're just trying to do everything we can to make classrooms safer."

Robert E. Lee, born January 19, 1807.

Remembering Robert E. Lee

By Calvin E. Johnson Jr. Saturday, January 16, 2010

“Duty is the sublimest word in the language. You can never do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less.”—Robert E. Lee

Did you know that Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, Martin Luther King and Robert E. Lee were born during the month of January? History can be great fun when parents and grandparents share stories about the past with their children making the study of American history a ‘Family Affair.’

Tuesday, January 19, 2010, is the 203rd birthday of Robert E. Lee, whose memory is still dear in the hearts of many Americans and people throughout God’s good earth.

During Robert E. Lee’s 100th birthday in 1907, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., a former Union Army Commander and grandson of United States President John Quincy Adams, spoke in tribute to Robert E. Lee at Washington and Lee College’s Lee Chapel in Lexington, Virginia. His speech was printed in both Northern and Southern newspapers and is said to had lifted Lee to a renewed respect among the American people.

Robert E. Lee-Stonewall Jackson Day events are planned for Saturday, January 16, 2010, in Lexington, Virginia that includes a Memorial at Lee Chapel featuring Guest Speaker Pastor John Weaver, Past Chaplain in Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. For additional information go to: leejacksonday.webs.com:

Many more events are planned for Lee’s birthday that includes:

The United Daughters of the Confederacy’s annual Robert E. Lee birthday commemoration held in front of Lee’s statue which is in the Crypt area of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. See upcoming events at: leecamp.org/ and

The Sons of Confederate Veterans 23rd Annual Robert E. Lee birthday celebration in Milledgeville, Ga. on Saturday, January 23, 2010, beginning with a 10:45 a.m. march from the old governor’s mansion to the one time capitol building of Georgia. See details at: georgiascv.com/

Do you remember when….

On August 5, 1975, 110 years after Gen. Lee’s application, President Gerald Ford signed Joint Resolution 23, restoring the long overdue full rights of citizenship to Gen. Robert E. Lee. Read more at: ford.utexas.edu

Who was Robert E. Lee?
Robert E. Lee was born on Monday Jan. 19, 1807, at ‘Stratford’ in Westmoreland County, Virginia. The winter was cold and the fireplaces were little help for Robert’s mother, Ann Hill (Carter) Lee.

Ann Lee named her son ‘Robert Edward’ after two of her brothers.

Robert E. Lee undoubtedly acquired his love of country from those who lived during the American Revolution. His Father, ‘Light Horse’ Harry was a Revolutionary War Hero, served three terms as Governor of Virginia and was elected to the United States House of Representatives. Two members of his family also signed the Declaration of Independence.

Lee was educated at the schools of Alexandria, Va., and he received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1825. He graduated in 1829, second in his class and without a single demerit.

Robert E. Lee’s first assignment was to Cockspur Island, Georgia, to supervise the construction of Fort Pulaski.

While serving as 2nd Lieutenant of Engineers at Fort Monroe, Virginia. Lee wed Mary Ann Randolph Custis. Mary was the daughter of George Washington Parke Custis, the Grandson of Martha Washington and adopted son of George Washington.

Mary was an only child; therefore, she inherited Arlington House, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., where she and Robert E. Lee raised seven children.

In 1836, Lee was appointed to first Lieutenant. In 1838, with the rank of Captain, Robert E. Lee fought in the War with Mexicoand was wounded at the Battle of Chapultepec.

Lee was appointed Superintendent of the United States Military Academy in 1852.

General Winfield Scott offered Robert E. Lee command of the Union Army in 1861, but he refused. He said, “I cannot raise my hand against my birthplace, my home, my children.”

Lee served as adviser to President Jefferson Davis, and then on June 1, 1862, commanded the legendary Army of Northern Virginia.

After four terrible years of death and destruction, Gen. Robert E. Lee met Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia and ended their battles.

Lee was called Marse Robert, Uncle Robert and Marble Man.

In October 1865, Lee was offered and accepted the presidency of troubled Washington College in Lexington, Virginia. The school was later renamed Washington and Lee College in his honor.

Robert E. Lee died of a heart attack at 9:30 AM on the morning of October 12, 1870, at the college and is buried at Lee Chapel with his family and near his favorite horse, Traveller.

Booker T. Washington, America’s great Black-American Educator wrote in 1910, “The first white people in America, certainly the first in the South to exhibit their interest in the reaching of the Negro and saving his soul through the medium of the Sunday-school were Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.”

Let’s not forget those who made our nation great!

Fir y'all who ain't familiar fact with how th' BATFE 'n th' Fed'rul court system conducted a kangaroo court trial t' convict an innocint man, read this.

'L, blogger Mike Vanderboegh over at th' Sipsey Street Irregulars, who has fearless gohn eye-to-eye with that corrupt Fed'rul agency, and has as much as told 'em to "Come Ohn",  has asked that his "Open Letter to (ATF agent)  Jody Keeku on the Occasion of her Conduct Review Board" be published by lovers of liberty far 'n wide.  Ol' Jones obliges.  Here's the link to th' letter, but I also publish its text below.

Subject: An Open Letter to Jody Keeku on the Occasion of her Conduct Review Board.

Dear Agent Keeku,

It is reported that you are to face a Conduct Review Board for bringing public disgrace to the BATFE in the press, to wit, the blogosphere, to wit, my blog, the Sipsey Street Irregulars.

This is understandable. After all, you did frame an innocent man -- David Olofson -- tore him away from his family, and ultimately lodged him in federal prison, where he rots today. You refused to accept the first judgment of the technicians that his rifle was merely a malfunctioning semi-auto and insisted that they retest it until they came up with a verdict more to your liking. This despite the language below from an ATF internal document that was not disclosed by your agency at the trial -- a clear violation of the Brady rule:

AR15 Receivers With M16 Parts

-- The following is a synopsis of the situation involving the manufacturer (sic, MBV) and distribution of AR15 type receivers with M16 parts installed, background information on this issue, description of the manufactures (sic, MBV) and ATF's handling of each to date, ATF's current position, retained for proposed action, and proposed response for resolving the issue. . . (Page One)

-- The purchasers and possessors of AR15-type semiautomatic rifles containing M16 parts will be afforded the opportunity (to) replace and divest themselves of any offending M16 parts in order to revert the firearm to a Title I firearm. . . (Page Three)

Now, this is not only your fault. ATF Counsel James P. Vann among others bears at least as much responsibility for the conduct of the Olofson railroad job in court. And yet we see that it is you, not one of the senior legal mandarins, who now faces discipline. (I am copying this email to "Little Jimmy" for that reason.)

So what are we to conclude? If the ATF comes down on you for doing what street agents are normally patted on the head and promoted for -- that is, making your case and securing a conviction -- then are they admitting that the case was bogus? If you are guilty of bringing discredit on the agency, then are they admitting that David Olofson is an innocent man? How can we conclude otherwise, since the sum and substance of my complaints are entirely about the Olofson case? Thus, either they circle the wagons around you (as they have since the beginning up until now), or they must immediately admit their errors as well as yours and seek David Olofson's immediate release.

And if they follow the pattern that upper management has always followed -- to throw street agents under the bus when cases go south to protect their own royal asses -- then aren't they absolving you of your previous loyalty to keep silent about their own transgressions?

Thus, if you would like to chat about what you know of misconduct and legal malfeasance in the Olofson case, I urge you to find a US Attorney or a Congressman to rat the bastards out. They certainly have shown their disloyalty to you. And remember, as you well know, in a federal conspiracy, advantage always goes to the first conspirator to rat out the others.

Awaiting the next shoe to drop with great anticipation, I remain, your most interested observer,

Praise for Lee and Jackson

Don't start 'til next week ackshully, with Lee's BD ohn 1-19 'n Jackson's ohn 1-21.  But it's Springlike up here at Ft. Jones, I got old Southron tunes in th' CD player, 'n I feel like celebratin' early.   So, I broke out my Confederate flags, with th' First National a'hangin' down from th' loft, 'n th' Navy Jack outside wavin' so beautifully in th' mountain breeze.  Th' St. Andrew Navy Jack is so much purtier thin th' stars n' stripes.  Here's wut it looks like from th' Fort's outlook.  It is nylon, 'n hence translucint, with th' glory of th' sun a'shinin' through it:

Yes, it's Lee-Jackson week.  I ain't givin' no due t' th' MLK holiday, which marks th' supposed significance of a philanderin' liberal Protestant with Commie connekshusns.  While he wuz able to help improve th' lot of th' black community in America, which is commendable, his legacy is mixed, as evidenced by th' "victim mentality" that seems to have ohnly grown, as well as th' character of th' "leaders" who succeeded him.  Lee 'n Jackson were each 10 times th' man MLK wuz.  'N t' all y'all who call me a "racist" in respohnse t' that, well, y'all kin jus' kiss my ass.

Watch th' annual debacle of neocons fallin' all over theysevves re: MLK this 1-18, as is th' pseudoconservative wont.  Why, I wohn't be surprised t' see MLK honored even over ait th' Rocky Mountain Alliance 2.0, even tho' they ain't nuthin' - NUTHIN' - 'bout King's legacy that is in any way positive as fir as th' cause of conservatism is corncerned.  The current POTUS is evidence of-att, if'n nuthin' else is.

'N as certain stories circulate 'round th' internet regardin' some economic craish-att's a-comin', thar seems (?) t' be a correspondin' activity 'mong th' Fed'ruls t' posishun theysevves not ohnly  t' hold ohn t' they power, but t' increase it.  American his'try proves-att such scenarios are plausible.  But, while-att makes a lot a folks skeered,  they dohn't understaind at th' Fed'rul "sovereignty" operates ohn a pure bluff.  Like th' "Fear Demon" in Buffy th' Vampire Slayer stories.  Them patriots thank th' Fed'ruls are a-gohnna take they guns, as if'n th' Fed'rul forces are any kind-a maitch fir, or have th' wherewithal to disarm, 150 million gun owners.   Sum-a them folk fear bein' put in internment caimps, ha-ha.  Not only is that conspiracy theory hoo-haw, but jus' let th' Fed'ruls try it. 

More likely scenario is-att th' Fed'ruls'll just fuck ever'thang up as is they wont, th' economy'll tank, n' both realist lib'rul 'n patriotic conservative Amercan people'll no lohnger accord political legitmacy t' Rome ohn th' Potomac.  'N-att may prompt th' "Beast" t' respond viciously.  T' which we say, "Ha, ha."

Yeah, th' Fed'ruls thank thesevves powerful.  They do marshall great force of arms and teknology.  But all that ain't near enuf.  "Work, work your thoughts, and therein see a siege", patriots.   But it ain't the seige of Harfluer y'all shud see.  It's this here seige.

Hat tip to Hugh Hewitt (= Hew Hughitt), who mentioned Bibi Netanyahoo's commint ohn his radion show las' nite.

Th' State of Israel is a'gohnna build a wall twixt itself 'n Egypt.  The reason?  Ol' Bibi Netanyahoo tells us:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved plans yesterday to erect a barrier along part of Israel's border with Egypt and install advanced surveillance equipment to keep out illegal migrants and militants.

 "I took the decision to close Israel's southern border to infiltrators and terrorists. This is a strategic decision to secure Israel's Jewish and democratic character," Mr. Netanyahu said in a statement.

Thousands of African and other migrants have come to Israel through its porous border with Egypt over the last few years, fleeing conflict back home or searching for a better life in the Jewish state.

Netanyahu said Israel would continue to accept refugees from conflict zones but "we cannot let tens of thousands of illegal workers infiltrate into Israel through the southern border and inundate our country with illegal aliens."

Sound familur?  Well, it duz 'n it dohn't akshually.  It duz sound familur cuz most Americans are upset 'bout how so many Mexicans, Central Americans 'n wutnot  have "infiltrated into America through the southern border and have inundated our country (as) illegal aliens."  It's still OK t' say that, even if it offends th' libby-lefties.  But wut if one here in America wuz t' say, "We need to complete that fence on the US/Mexico border as a strategic measure to secure America's Anglo-Celt and democratic character"?  Boy wuddn't all the politically correct, includin' all th' neocons, jus' go apeshit over att-un?  Even ol' Hew Hughitt hisseff wud condemn such a statement as being "nativist" and even "racist", I bet.  (He has dun so before.)

People will deny-att it's true, given our particular history here in th' US of interaction with Indians, Hispanics 'n blacks, but it absolutely IS th' case-att we are fir all intents 'n purposes an Anglo-Celt, or Northern Euro-Anglo-Celt nashun.  All ye gotta do is look at our foundin', th' birthplace of our language, cultural tradishuns 'n legal tradishuns, 'n th' pattern of conquest t' know that it is true.  As everyculture.com puts it,  "The United States has an Anglo majority that is politically and economically dominant."  Thar's an imporant tho obvious historical reason for that, 'n accordin'ly for why us Anglos are culturally dominant too, 'n why our laws are th' way they are.

'N it kin be argued-att this wuz th' Founders' intention.  As Howard Sutherland writes, 'n quotes from th' Founders kin be adduced to prove all-iss:

(It is) wrong, to assert that America has no "biological fathers to provide an ethnic basis" for our nationality. A look at the Founding Fathers themselves dispels that myth. They were not deracinated lawgivers who appeared ex nihilo to create a new synthetic state in a largely empty continent; certainly they did not see themselves that way.  They were representatives of the propertied class of Great Britain's former North American colonies. The vast majority were members of families already long established in America, many for over 150 years by the time of the Constitutional Convention. They were overwhelmingly of British descent, the substantial majority of English descent.  The very few delegates who were not American born were all British born.  The colonies-become-states whence they came were English settlements, already long enough established to have given rise to a distinct (Anglo-)American people: the people who fought for and, with French help, won independence for the thirteen colonies. The United States that they formed of their newly independent states was thoroughly English in culture, law, tradition and religion. In scholarly invocations of natural law and assorted Enlightenment philosophers, the most important influence on the Constitution (and the Declaration of Independence) tends to get lost. The Founders’ understanding of law and its application to free men owed more to the English Common Law, as it had developed by their day and as they applied it in America, than to any other source.

Already by 1776, an American nation had evolved, as nations will, in the Thirteen Colonies of British North America.  The Founders were members of that distinct, ethnically British, nation, as they well knew and often said.  The Founding Fathers and their fellow Americans of 1776 are the biological fathers of scores of millions of today's Americans.  One of the extraordinary things about the United States of America is the relative ease with which it has absorbed immigrants since independence.  To claim, presumably for that reason, that the American nation has no original ethnic basis of its own is, however, nonsense.

So why shuddn't th' Euro-Anglo-Celts of America want-att faince down thar ohn th' Mexican border in order t' "secure America's Euro-Anglo-Celt and democratic character"?  'N why cain't they speak frankly about th' race issue here.  Jus' like ol' Bibi Netanyahoo did?

Hmmmmmm, Joshua?  Ben?  Rocky Mountain Right? Mr. Hughitt?  Hmmmmmmm?

While the strategies and circumstances of the War of Northern Aggression can (and will) be debated by professionals and laymen alike, one fact is undeniable: Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson were two of the finest Christian gentlemen this country has ever produced. Both their character and their conduct were beyond reproach.

Unlike his northern counterpart, Ulysses S. Grant, General Lee never sanctioned or condoned slavery. Upon inheriting slaves from his deceased father-in-law, Lee freed them. And according to historians, Jackson enjoyed a familial relationship with those few slaves that were in his home. In addition, unlike Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Grant, there is no record of either Lee or Jackson ever speaking disparagingly of the black race.

As those who are familiar with history know, General Grant and his wife held personal slaves before and during the War Between the States, and, contrary to popular opinion, even Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not free the slaves of the North. They were not freed until the Thirteenth Amendment was passed after the conclusion of the war. Grant's excuse for not freeing his slaves was that "good help is so hard to come by these days."

Furthermore, it is well established that Jackson regularly conducted a Sunday School class for black children. This was a ministry he took very seriously. As a result, he was dearly loved and appreciated by the children and their parents.

In addition, both Jackson and Lee emphatically supported the abolition of slavery. In fact, Lee called slavery "a moral and political evil." He also said "the best men in the South" opposed it and welcomed its demise. Jackson said he wished to see "the shackles struck from every slave."

To think that Lee and Jackson (and the vast majority of Confederate soldiers) would fight and die to preserve an institution they considered evil and abhorrent--and that they were already working to dismantle--is the height of absurdity. It is equally repugnant to impugn and denigrate the memory of these remarkable Christian gentlemen. . . .

I, for one, am thankful for the example and legacy of men such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. They were the spiritual soul mates of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. They were men that loved freedom; they were men that loved federalism and constitutional government; and they were men of courage and understanding. They understood that, sometimes, political separation is the only way that freedom can survive. Long live the spirit of Washington, Jefferson, Lee, and Jackson!
