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.
