Why Lincoln Republicans Can't Handle Politics |
A person who is loyal to everything is loyal to
nothing. This is why "Lincoln Republicans" can never
play real politics.
Bush operatives are out there meeting with liberal
black leaders and ignoring conservative ones. Cries
of dismay are coming from the conservative rank and
file. Where the hell have they been since the
Gettysburg Address?
America adopted a Constitution dedicated it to "We the
People of the United States of America". This means
America was dedicated to Americans. Abraham Lincoln
declared in the Gettysburg Address that America was
dedicated to "ALL MEN are created equal".
He meant it.
President Bush wants what is best for All Men. A
Mexican is as good as an American. He does not see
himself as violating his oath of office when he
refuses to enforce our immigration laws. Like Lincoln,
he feels he has a Higher Loyalty.
This becomes a matter of practical politics. If he
had his way, Bush would love to give more to
minorities who vote Democratic than to whites who vote
Republican. This would prove that he has no
prejudice.
As a matter of principle you cannot devote yourself to
"We the People of the United States" if all your
effort goes into making all men equal.
But that is not just a matter of principle. Favoring
your own people is the only way real politics can be
practiced. If you want people to vote your way, you
have to make it pay your friends to support you. If
you want people to vote your way, you have to make
voting the other way a costly business.
Most of Nevada belongs to the Federal Government.
When Nevada kept voting Republican, President
Clinton hit them hard on land policy. By contrast,
Republicans desperately want everybody to see that no
minority will be shunned just because it blindly
supports our political enemies.

How do I stand on the war in Iraq? Do I think it is
moral or evil? I am told I must worry about how it
affects Iraqis and Israelis and whether it is moral to
attack Iraq while we let North Korea get away with
worse.
How do I stand on abortion? How do I stand on Family
Values, prayers in school, the interest rate, nuclear
proliferation, the infrastructure, the environment,
labor unions, congressional pay, welfare reform, and
so on and so on and so on.
I have some opinions on most things, but most things
are not that important to me. On most issues I
frankly don't give a damn.
You have to be economical about the number of ideas
you are loyal to and the number of people you are
loyal to.
A person who is loyal to everything is loyal to
nothing. Every traitor claims that he is not being
disloyal, he is just being Idealistic and Objective.
Our latest traitor, the American Taliban John Walker,
honestly believes that he is not disloyal for being
against America because his version of Islam is good
for all mankind.
If you extrapolate from the astonishing revelations
from KGB files, thousands of Americans worked for
Stalin's Soviet Union against the United States.
Every one of them felt that he was just being for
the Universal Truth of Communism and against
provincial prejudice.
Harvard professor Noel Ignatiev says that "Treason to
the white race is loyalty to humanity." If you take
a routine history course that blames white people for
everything the way Hitler blamed the Jews for
everything you have to agree with Ignatiev.
Every "Lincoln Republican" I know agrees with Ignatiev
and won't say so. He is not honest enough to say so.
National Pro-Life leaders say that their only loyalty
is to little babies of all races. They want a colored
world as badly as any liberal does. This, they say,
is not hatred of their own race, but loyalty to all
humanity.
National "Christian" spokesmen are working to get
colored children adopted into every white region of
America. Ignatiev would certainly approve, but he
and his fellow non-Christian leftists could not
accomplish this for themselves.

A person who is fanatical on every issue is useless on
the important ones. He can make no agreements for the
sake of the important issues because he is already
committed on all of them.
If you treasure your loyalty you cannot throw it
around. How many conservative movements have been
destroyed because of disagreements on one of the
hundred Matters of Principle every conservative has to
be monomaniacal about?
If you give your loyalty freely to every people or to
every issue conservatives bring up you cannot expect
anyone to take your allegiance seriously.
Loyalty to everything is loyalty to nothing.
Two last reminders:
As I said in "Wordism", May 15,
1999, there are thousands of principles that claim
to be Universal Truths. Anyone who claims to unite
THIS world with his particular Universal Truth out of
the thousands of Universal truths out there actually
divides humanity more than a racist or a nationalist
does.
As I said in September 4,
1999, ONLY NATIONALISM CAN ALLOW FREEDOM OF THOUGHT:
If your loyalty is to a single Universal Truth,
you cannot allow any real freedom of thought. Anyone
who argues against your particular Univeral Principles
is trying to break up your particular version of
Wordist Universalism.
