On CNN, the former national Republican chairman
agreed with Bill Press that Bob Jones' policy of
prohibiting interracial dating was "un-American!"
All the conservatives and most "religious"
conservatives are saying this.
As we all know, every one of the Founding Fathers,
regardless of their position on slavery, opposed
racial intermarriage, and all the original states
outlawed it. As so often happens, I have a choice
here between modern, respectable opinions and those
of the Founders. As usual, if I choose the Founders,
I am being un-American -- which means unModern.
And once again I choose the Founders over the Moderns.
Common sense and observation of the real world always
contradicts what liberals are saying. Liberals then
assure us that things
are not as they appear. They tell us that they are
true intellectuals, and they see truths that seem
to make no sense to us.
It always turns out that common sense and observation
of the real world were right, and liberals were
wrong. But we always have to adopt liberal policies
and create a total disaster before we dare admit
the liberals were wrong.
When I was a university student and professor in
the 1950s and 1960s, "intellectuals" knew
that socialism was inevitable. Further, it was the
only efficient and fair way to run an economy. In
plain English, socialism means that the government
owns and runs all the industry.
For a rational person, it is obvious that if government
bureaucrats run the whole economy, it will be a
disaster. True liberal intellectuals made it clear
that this was an absurd myth. They said Communism
worked just fine, and they firmly believed the faked
CIA statistics that showed the USSR overtaking the
United States in per capita income.
There is a long list of things like this "socialism-is-efficient"
nonsense that was pushed in the name of True Intellectualism.
The only thing one was allowed to say in the media
was that criminals were not the bad guys. Punishment
was useless in fighting crime. In education, all
the old standards were declared to be out of date.
We all know what happened with each and every liberal
policy. Education scores plummeted. The crime rate
went through the
roof. Their foreign policy led to Korea and Vietnam.
Gun control leads to more crime. Everywhere that
liberal policy was applied there was disaster.
Since liberals control the media, they declare which
conservatives are respectable and which are not.
Conservatives are desperate to be respectable, so
they never remind liberals of the list of total
disasters they have caused.
Our forefathers noted that every country where the
races have mixed is a disaster for the people living
there. Even today, the life expectancy of a child
born in one of racially-mixed countries, no matter
what its history, is extremely low. Poverty is routine.
This applies to Brazil, the Dominican Republic,
it applies to Egypt and to Panama. It applies where
there is a history of colonialism and where there
is no history of colonialism. It applies where there
once was a great civilization and to new countries.
I do not know why this is true. I know it is true.
And I tell you this in all earnestness: nothing
convinces me that this is fact more than the unanimous
liberal insistence, once again, that what is perfectly
obvious simply cannot be the case.
Liberals tell us that this is merely the appearance.
They tell us that, like their crime policy and their
education policy and their economic policy, this
time race mixing will come out just fine. Any conservative
who wants to be respectable had better agree.
They do. Every conservative tries to elbow out other
conservatives in shouting out his total loyalty
to the eventual disappearance of the white race.
Anyone who doesn't is anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
And nobody will shout that louder than respectable
conservatives.
National "Christian" conservatives join
in the shouting.
I don't think there is a single respectable conservative
or "Christian" conservative who does not
suspect what a future American
version of Brazil or Santo Domingo will be like.
It doesn't matter to them. After all, that agony
will be left for our posterity. The important thing
to these people is that they look unprejudiced and
respectable today.
This is not a Christian attitude. That is why I
put "Christian" in quotes when referring
to these "leaders."
To be a real Christian requires guts. These people
prefer respectability.
Judging from real-world evidence, miscegenation
is an evil thing, because it dooms future generations
to poverty and lives that will be "nasty, brutish,
and short." Imagine the whole world being exactly
like the third world of today! Imagine there being
no Western World, no white-majority countries, to
lead the way out of poverty!
I cannot prove this will happen, but those who say
it won't are always wrong, and they crush anyone
who dares to oppose them.
Liberals and social scientists assure us that miscegenation
in the future will lead to a wholly different result
this time.
They promised us that rehabilitation would end crime
and educational experiments would improve education.
They have NEVER been right!
But unlike crime and education policy and socialism,
miscegenation is permanent. The disaster that results
will not be reversed by its being costly to our
living generation. Respectable conservatives and
"Christian" conservatives can court liberal
favor by pushing miscegenation, and they will die
before the results come home.
Judging by what I know of the real world, miscegenation
is an evil thing. As is the case with all trendy
policy, every country that has mixed white and black
races genetically in the real world is a disaster.
But one must be very careful about government trying
to prevent it. Like Internet pornography or other
social problems, the cure may be worse than the
disease, and if the government takes charge of it,
it probably won't work.
Nonetheless, these considerations are completely
different from saying that an evil thing is good,
or that it is morally neutral. The fact I cannot
prevent evil does not exempt me from calling it
what it is. A private, Christian institution like
Bob Jones has not only the right, but the duty,
to oppose miscegenation if they feel it is wrong.
I doubt that any intelligent person who was not
a hypnotic liberal ever believed that criminals
were actually the good guys, or that punishment
didn't work. I doubt that any intelligent person
who was not a hypnotic liberal ever believed that
an economy run by bureaucrats would be efficient.
But, when it came to public discussion, they were
careful to look as if they took these ideas seriously.
Likewise, I think that any person who is not a hypnotic
liberal shares my worry that blithe liberal assurances
about racial mixing are wrong.
But to moderates, respectable conservatives and
so-called "Christian" conservatives, respectability
came before the public welfare. That remains true
today.
