THE REAGAN SACRED COW

Sometimes – well, to be honest, usually – it’s the best-intentioned people that really set me off. Inevitably, I suppose, since I’ve little patience with Orwellian double-think, less for those practicing it, and none for the ones who should know better: namely White Nationalists, Southerners among us in particular, who worship Ronald Reagan as… as one of them referred to him… “a Godsend.” I’ve got news for these folks; God sends a lot of things, including plague, flood, fire…and tyranny.

Reagan was a likable guy, no question about it: classy, charismatic, usually doing his lines with great aplomb. However, that goes with the territory of a trained, career showman. Remember, an actor is one who makes a living playing convincing parts as a thing he’s not. Around here we call that a BS artist (usually a hawker making some sales pitch), and no doubt Ronald Wilson Reagan was good at it. Not only did he play his part as “a conservative,” but, despite creeping Alzheimer’s, recited the lines his handlers gave him very well. People tend to forget that he was neither a conservative nor writing the script.

For those of you frothing at the mouth right now because you liked the things he said, let’s step back and take a look at what he and that administration actually did – before, during, and after his tenure as President of the United States...

A Brief and Incomplete History of Secession in the United States

The BLACK DILEMMA

The “Great Experiment” has been nothing but the GREAT FAILURE.

For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an interesting experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black people and working-class whites.

John H. Van Evrie, who lived from1814 to 1896, was an American medical doctor, and the editor and proprietor of a publication called the Weekly Day Book, a Democratic newspaper, and a son of the founder of Rochester, a city on Lake Ontario, in New York State. He also published several book on race relations and the character of the negro, for which he used his own publishing company, Van Evrie, Horton & Company. His conclusions concerning the negro led him to become a defender of the institution of slavery, and a defender of the cause of the Old South. He is slandered by mainstream sources today even in spite of the fact that many of his conclusions have been proven by the events of history subsequent to the War Between the States.
 

Here is the Preface to his book Negroes and Negro "Slavery:” The First an Inferior Race: The Latter its Normal Condition, which was published in its second edition in 1861. See the PDF below for the full book:
 

The more we hear from the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the less we like them. They cuck for CNN, they cuck for a poorly defined sort of civic nationalism, which is not nationalism at all,  they cuck for Black Lives Matter and the Antifa, and now they are cucking even for sodomites and the LGBT agenda.

We would be surprised if they even survived the Landrieu administration. But it seems that the new black mayor of New Orleans is attempting to appease Whites and proposing to restore the monuments in new locations, according to the local newspaper The Advocate:

The dreary mid-March morning lined the sky with gray clouds as our small caravan headed down the interstate and into the center of Knoxville at the break of dawn. We really didn't know what to expect, but at this early hour there were few people, few cops, and no Antifa. So whatever did happen would only be a reaction to our intendedly peaceful presence. Here the League of the South would try something a little different, and would hold a small demonstration with no prior announcement, no permits, and hopefully no overwhelming or oppressive police reaction. Doing this, we hoped to actually interface with the general public and pass out some of our literature. This is, after all, the purpose for that right to assemble which is supposedly guaranteed in the united States' Constitution.

The League of the South had held a few events since Shelbyville, perhaps a social occasion or two and some participation in a few smaller demonstrations, but nothing major and nothing that we had the opportunity for which to participate. So for several weeks we looked forward to the planned Florida State Sovereignty rally in Tallahassee. Even better, this one was so close to home that we only had to visit a gas station once all weekend.
