WHAT COAL MINERS SHOULD TEACH US
|
Coal miners have a special meaning to me. Unlike
leftist Heroes of the Working Class in Hollywood,
I actually know a lot of working people.
As I have mentioned in whitakeronline,
about the proudest I have ever been was when a West
Virginia coal miner said, "Whitaker speaks for us,
and he's not even a hick."
I AM a hick -- from Pontiac, SC --
but as their Official Spokesman I had to cover that
up with a coat and tie.
That miner's remark was made at a
joint press conference and march I had arranged
in Washington, DC, for West Virginia parents fighting
filthy textbooks and Boston anti-busers.
I was also an official Honorary Boston
Southie.
Coal miners and Boston Southies are
not people who are noted for giving their trust
freely and easily. I earned it.
Those nine coal miners who just survived
are typical of the breed I am proud to have been
trusted by.
Jane Fonda keeps saying that nuclear
energy is dangerous and implies that other energy
production isn't. She doesn't know anybody who's
worked on an oil rig or in a coal mine.
Nobody but a bunch of coal miners
would have been cool enough to find a place to survive
down there. The very idea gives me the cold crawlies.
Damn, they're good!

THOSE MINERS AND FLIGHT 93
|
Flight 93 was the plane that the hijackers seized
for an attack on the Pentagon on September 11. The
passengers fought back and the plane crashed in
Pennsylvania. Before they fought back, many of the
passengers called their families on cell phones
and said goodbye.
A mother of one of the passengers got to hear the
recordings and she was so proud of her son's heroism
on that day her glowing pride showed over her grief.
Those in authority do not want us to hear that,
but we did get the words of one of the passengers
who, getting up to go after the hijackers, spoke
his last words. "Let's roll."
That's cool heroism.
We will probably never hear the full tapes, because
many police officials and other agents of Authority
do not like for Americans to look at themselves
as heroic.
We are supposed to be helpless cowards. We are
supposed to cower under a bed and let the Authorities
take charge.
So if someone robs you, you are told never, never,
never, never to be armed. You are told to submit
and give a robber anything he wants. Invite him
home to rape your daughter.
The officials who tell us that would have told
the Flight 93 passengers to submit quietly. Don't
make trouble.
But, like their ancestors, those Americans, despite
all the brainwashing, went right out and made trouble.
In doing so, they died saving countless others that
airplane would have been used against.

LIBERALS
ALWAYS PORTRAY AVERAGE AMERICANS AS PANICKY COWARDS
|
|
As good liberals, history professors are always trying
to prove that there were no heroes at the Alamo. Liberals
always try to prove that Americans are evil exploiters
and cowards, especially those who fought for Politically
Incorrect causes like taking Texas from Mexico.
In academia and on the East Coast the doctrine is that
people should never "take the law into their own hands."
All guns should be in the hands of the police. They say
that any American who has a gun will use it for crime
and that Americans are too cowardly to defend themselves,
so the police have to do it.
Some time ago, the media were all reporting that if a
home had a gun in it, a burglar was exactly FORTY-THREE
TIMES more likely to take it away from the cowardly, panic-stricken
householder and use it AGAINST HIM than the householder
was to protect himself with it.
This "fact" reigned supreme for months. Then career police
officers began to write newspapers saying that, in twenty-five
year careers on the police force, they had never seen
this happen once, and they had seen a lot of robberies
and burglaries thwarted by armed citizens.
Like all gun control "facts," this one was discredited
and everybody agreed to forget it had ever been said,
especially respectable conservatives. But the next time
the media come up with another "fact" like this, everybody
will report it respectfully.
I heard National Public Radio announce that since Kennesaw,
Georgia, began to require every citizen to be armed, the
crime rate has shot up. Actually, it turns out that from
the time Kennesaw started that requirement to the time
NPR made that report, not one single crime had been committed
there!
Probably no crime has been committed there since. So
NPR ws as wrong as you can get.
NPR made no correction and no conservative ever asked
for one.

AMERICA'S
PROBLEM IS NOT ****PHYSICAL*** COWARDICE
|
|
I would arm every honest American. Let's try the Kennesaw
approach, at least on a pilot basis, and see if our crime
rate doesn't drop like a rock. Let's at least stop telling
everyone to grovel at the criminals' feet. Let's at least
MENTION the alternative.
Liberals want us to believe that physical courage only
comes in a government-issue uniform.
Meanwhile, back here in the real world, the gun-hating
Englishmen have a crime rate far higher than ours. You
are six times as likely to be mugged in London as you
are in NEW YORK CITY!!
In England, almost half of the burglars don't even bother
to wait until the family leaves the house. They just go
right in and take what they want and terrorize the family
and show the children how helpless their father is.
The Brits call that "civilized." It is the sort of perfect
helplessness and obedience liberals would LOVE to see
here.
During World War 2, when the Authorities needed the Brits
to be brave to fight the right-wing Axis Powers, the Brits
were brave. But in defending their own homes against thugs,
they are the kind of abject, crawling cowards liberals
consider ideal.
In other words, the Brits' problem is that they can only
be brave when their rulers TELL them to be. They will
stand up for Equality, but not for themselves or their
families.
The Brits have no MORAL courage at all.
Americans have a similar problem, though we are not as
hopelessly far gone as the poor little Brits. Over ninety
percent of our burglars at least wait until the family
is gone. And it's not out of courtesy.
But if we don't show some MORAL courage, our physical
bravery will eventually end up the way it did in Britain
-- gone.
