Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populous conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host for tonight, James Edwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, I got to tell you, we have got a red-hot show lined up for you tonight.
A very impassioned program with great guests and even more scintillating content.
Welcome to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's Saturday evening, February 27th, 2010.
And you're listening to us on AM 1380 WLRM Radio, our flagship station in Memphis, Tennessee, and also on the AM affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
Catch us online as well at our official internet headquarters, thepoliticalcesspool.org.
Joining me for tonight's first hour, Keith Alexander.
Keith, my friend, are you buckled in and ready for a bumpy ride tonight?
I tell you, I'm strapped in and ready to go.
Two themes, Keith, as you know this evening that we're going to be talking about, which really drives to the very marrow of my bone, the attacks on the South, the cultural genocide that is taking place on the campus of Ole Miss this week down in Oxford, Mississippi, and then also the terrorist attacks that were waged against American Renaissance recently.
Jared Taylor, the editor of American Renaissance magazine, will be with us during tonight's third hour.
But first, gather around the campfire, boys and girls, and let Uncle James tell you a story about the littlest freedom rider.
Now, we have been telling you quite a few times that a lot of folks, in fact, almost all of them in the Tea Party movement, the rank and file, are people with whom we would have a lot in agreement.
But anyone who thinks that the Tea Party movement is going to make any difference is dreaming unless they clean house of this neocon and subversive leadership.
The leadership of the Tea Party movement isn't focused on lower taxes or less spending or anything like that.
Their top priorities are declaring over and over and over that they're not racist.
And if you don't believe me, get a load of this guy, Mark Williams, and we wrote about him on the blog.
We call him the littlest freedom rider.
He's a radio talk show host and a spokesman for something called the Tea Party Express.
Now, apparently he went on CNN recently and got called a racist.
And keep in mind, we know what a racist is.
Racist is code word for white.
If they call you a racist, what they're really saying is that you're a white person.
All whites are racist.
If you want to know the thought process of the ruling oligarchy.
But nevertheless, he gets called a racist, and guess how he responds?
He doesn't disregard this Marxist construct and continue to go about his good work.
No, listen to what he says.
Here's what he says in response to being called a racist.
He says, he was on the streets marching for civil rights while Southern sheriffs were swinging nail-studded baseball bats at the back of black people's heads.
And then he stood between black kids and northerners who were throwing rocks and gas bombs at school buses during his hometown, in his hometown, while they were fighting for desegregation and forced busing.
That's what he said he did.
That was his response to the accusation that he was a racist.
And I don't even know where to start with this guy.
First off, as we wrote on the blog, I don't remember reading about any Southern sheriffs swinging nail-studded baseball bats.
Now, that's news to me.
Secondly, and keep in mind the facts here, ladies and gentlemen, those civil rights era communist agents were marching for nothing less than the abolition of private property rights and the freedom of association in America.
And this guy, this Tea Party leader, Mark Williams, is proud of that.
He's proud that the civil rights movement that he allegedly marched in gave us the abolition of private property rights, the abolition of freedom of association.
And third, you know, I got to tell you, this guy sure got around.
A few years later, he's up north somewhere fighting for integration in schools, and he's proud that he helped destroy, by the way, the public school systems in his hometown by filling them up with low IQ thugs.
And how much do you want to bet?
He's always raising hell on his radio show about how terrible and dangerous the big cities are these days.
But he's mighty proud that he helped make them that way.
What a clown.
But here is the really rich part.
You got to go to our website, thepoliticalcesspool.org.
Click on the blog entry, The Littlest Freedom Rider.
Check out a very recent picture of this guy from his CNN broadcast a couple of days ago.
He's about 45 years old.
Maybe, if you stretch it, he's 50.
But somehow he was battling evil southern sheriffs back in the late 50s and early 60s.
What?
When he was about two months old?
These dupes in the audience there and in the Tea Parties can believe this nonsense if they want, and they probably do.
That's why con artists like Mark Williams and the leadership of the Tea Parties can get away with telling laughably obvious lies because they know they can get away with it because their followers were letting him.
But we said, you know, he should write a book called The Littlest Freedom Rider because we're sure it'll sell like hotcakes at these Tea Party meetings.
But as long, Keith, as the Tea Parties are allowing bogus neoconservative agents like Mark Williams to represent them on CNN, they will never be effective and they will never realize their great and wonderful potential.
I was absolutely dumbfounded when I read this guy's comments.
I, like you, think that Jewish Hollywood imaginations must have gone overdrive with this guy.
He's internalized it all to the extent that he believes that there was actually some southern sheriff swinging around a nail-studded bat, cracking the skulls of civil rights workers or poor, innocent, righteous black protesters, as they are always portrayed.
You know, you never see the build-up to those situations.
In fact, much of it was provoked.
In fact, that's what they learned to do at things like the Highlander School in Montegle, Tennessee, where they learned to provoke the sheriffs.
And then when the rights, when they provoke some type of reaction by throwing bags of urine or dog poop on the sheriffs, and they reacted to it, that's when the signal would be given in CBS, NBC, and ABC.
He would start running the camera.
That's when the cameras would roll.
You've got that right, Keith.
But see, I think he got this thing confused.
He got his memories of the civil rights movement from undoubtedly from newsreels and not from first-hand experience with that movie, Inglorious Bastards, or whatever it is, that apparently has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, which shows Jewish people in World War II knocking the daylights out of, you know,
swinging baseball bats and clubbing in the heads of Germans, German soldiers in that movie.
What this shows, rather than getting into the particulars of it, is that so many Americans who imagine themselves to be conservative have drunk the Kool-Aid, James.
What's happened is it's like radiation poisoning.
They're exposed to liberalism all of the time.
And like a victim of radiation poisoning, they don't know that they've absorbed this and that they're sick.
But you put them in a dark room and turn off the lights and they glow in the dark with the liberalism they've absorbed.
What they don't understand is that all of modern liberalism is bad.
You can't pick and choose like you're in a cafeteria.
You have to acknowledge that all liberalism came from the same poisonous well.
And, for example, you can't say, well, the civil rights movement was good, but homosexual rights is bad, or gay marriage is bad, or abortion is bad.
This is the mistake that so many people made.
If you let the camel's nose in the tent, then the next thing you know, the camel is in the tent and you've been moved out of the tent.
This is what's happened in American life.
If you buy the fact that the civil rights movement was righteous and holy and merited and a triumph for goodness, then you have basically allowed the enemy into your tent because the cultural Marxist that staged all of this intentionally, intentionally led with what they considered to be their strongest suit, race.
And they had the media totally behind them.
They were able to portray this in the way they wanted it portrayed rather than the way that it really was.
And if you, and the civil rights movement was a blueprint, a template for every other rights movement that followed.
For example, the criminal rights movement.
So you start out with the proposition that blacks are the same as or just as good as white people.
Then you move to criminals are the same as just as good as law-abiding citizens.
Then you go to women's rights.
Women are the same as men.
Then you go to homosexual rights.
Homosexuals are the same as or just as good as heterosexuals.
Then you go to illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants are just as good or just are equal to lawful American citizens.
And then you start getting into really crazy stuff like environmentalism.
Plants and animals are the same as are just as good as human beings.
And you see, you just can't take the first step down that path.
And the first step down that path is civil rights.
And apparently Mr. Mack has, or whatever is it, Mr. Williams, excuse me, has bought into that.
And because of that, he'll never understand the true nature of liberalism.
And he will try to embrace liberalism while fighting it.
And of course, with that type of confusion in his mind, he's always going to be unsuccessful.
Keith, hold it right there.
We've got to take a break.
Folks, we're just getting started tonight.
I promise you, it's going to get a lot more intense if you can believe it.
We'll be back with political cesspool right after this.
be back right after these messages.
Jump in, the political says pool with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, folks, I guarantee you we are going to leave you exhausted by the time this show is over.
I am loaded for bear tonight.
We have got some issues that really animate me, much more so.
I can't say much more so than the issues we always talk about because this show always animates me to action.
But tonight, I tell you, it's just a cut above.
We were talking about the littlest freedom writer.
That's the name we've given to Mark Williams, this living joke that is a so-called leader of the Tea Party movement, purposefully ascended to that position to derail what good they have the potential to do.
But, you know, I tell you, I have laid out the blueprint for how to respond to false accusations of racism.
I have been called every name in the book because I have made this show a success.
Well, of course, with the help of our listening audience and the great staff that works here at the Political Cess Pole.
But you don't get off on the sidelines and engage in a debate over what your enemies perceive you to be.
That does your cause no good.
You just continue forward full steam ahead.
I don't pay any attention.
I can't control what these animals say, so I don't concern myself with it.
But people like Mark Williams do.
They're so concerned that they have to pretend that they were old enough to have marched in the civil rights movement and then, you know, fall in line and qualify themselves as a conservative or as a respectable conservative because they hate the South.
And it's not just Mark Williams.
You know, there's this other guy.
The New York Times did an article about the Tea Parties.
And I read directly from the New York Times here, gazing out at his overwhelmingly white audience, this Tea Party organizer felt the need to say, quote, this meeting is not racist.
Nor, he said, was it a call to insurrection.
What is needed, he said, is an army of sheriffs marching on Washington to deliver an unambiguous warning.
Any violation of the Constitution, we will consider a criminal offense.
Well, that's all well and good, ladies and gentlemen.
But here is this guy.
His name is Mr. Mack.
He's the leader of a Tea Party group that the New York Times was covering.
And here's his vision of an ideal sheriff that he shared with the New York Times.
The setting was Montgomery, Alabama, on the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat.
Imagine the local sheriff, he said, rather than arresting Mrs. Parks, escorting her home, stopping to buy her a meal at an all-white diner.
And here's what I got to say about that, and we've got to shift gears.
This is going to be my final word on the Tea Parties right now.
When people feel the need to open their meetings by insisting that it's not racist, it's pretty clear that the movement is so politically correct that it's not even worth bothering.
It used to be that conservative meetings would open up with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Now they open up with the Pledge to Diversity.
But this guy, you know, we had Sheriff Drew Lackey, or excuse me, Officer Drew Lackey.
He was the officer who fingerprinted Rosa Parks.
He was on this program live back in the summer of 2008.
You can get that in your archives.
He knows that Rosa Parks was an avowed communist activist.
We're not making this up.
I know 60 years after the fact, history becomes a little bit distorted, but I mean, she was, and everybody knew at the time that she was, but now she's some sort of hero.
You know, and this guy, this Tea Party leader, says that the sheriff shouldn't have even arrested her, but given her her ride home and then violated the sanctity of private property by taking her into a restaurant that didn't want her there.
And this is a Tea Party leader.
Here's the point.
He's against big government.
He's concerned with the government violating the Constitution.
And he's praising the communist-led civil rights movement.
He has no problem with the government forcing people to do business or associate with people they want nothing to do with.
In fact, he thinks that's just terrific.
But he's for limited government.
There aren't even words to describe this level of hypocrisy.
Well, he doesn't understand that, you know, you can't give a pass.
Basically, everything that he finds objectionable in the U.S. government today had its genesis in the civil rights movement.
Exactly, Keith.
Thank you, Keith.
Thank you, Keith.
Exactly.
He is against what the government's doing, but he was for it, you know, in the 60s.
So, I mean, you can't be led by a guy who serves two masters.
These folks need to go back.
They need to shut up, go back to watching Fox News and let James Edwards, Keith Alexander, and our crew here lead the real constitutional conservative movement.
And I still have hope for the Tea Parties.
There are good people that make up their membership, but they have got to get rid of this phony leadership.
And that'll be the final word from that because we've got a busy plate tonight.
Keith, I know you want to talk about a recent shooting at the University of Alabama at Huntsville that also plays in line with the continued bashing of the South, both real and imagined.
Well, we you came across a great article apparently in the New York Times.
A black journalist was weighing in on this episode that happened down at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, which apparently has a very advanced technological program, probably because it's near the Huntsville Space Center there in Huntsville, Alabama.
And one of its professors was a person named Amy Bishop, a female professor from Harvard, who had been denied tenure.
And she went into a faculty meeting and pulled a gun and shot, I think, let me see, three people dead and also wounded several others.
Now, of course, the left is always going to spin things so that evil conservatives are responsible.
I remember, for example, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and I remember the palpable disappointment of the liberals at the New York Times, the Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, which were the only channels back then, they were absolutely certain that Lee Harvey Oswald was some type of Klansman or something of that sort.
Instead, it turned out that Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of John F. Kennedy, turned out to be a hard-shell leftist, an American who had defected to the Soviet Union, had come back to the United States because, quite frankly, the Russians had no use for him.
He was such a human slub.
And he headed up or was a member of a group called the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
In other words, he was a fan of Fidel Castro.
And because of that, they were absolutely dumbfounded when they found that out.
Well, this writer for the New York Times weighed in on this shooting at the University of Alabama at Huntsville and said that Amy Bishop must have been tormented by mockery and constant negativity directed at her because she was a graduate and a product of Harvard.
And all these nabobs and yahoos and backward drooling nose-picking Southerners were constantly at her throat about this.
And they're probably the type of people that were on that tenure committee and denied her tenure out of nothing more than sheer jealousy and envy.
Then it turns out, apparently this writer has no idea what the modern academic scene is like.
All of these tenured professors tended to be minority members.
So when that came out and it came out that Amy Bishop was a white woman, then he switches to another spin on it.
He decides that she must have been a virulent racist.
Wrong again, New York Times.
What happened was instead she was one of the looniest liberals you could ever imagine, as you might expect coming from Harvard.
It just shows you that the left has to create this alternative universe that they exist in, in which everything bad comes from conservatives when in reality, most of the badness in America, the negative, the bad schools we have, the bad public schools, the bad economy, something like this, the nuts.
Who are the nuts that are going around shooting people?
It all comes from the left, and it's liberals.
And, you know, they just cannot wrap their mind around that reality.
You know, in their mind, just like this Mark Williams guy we were talking about with the Tea Party movement, they have bought into the idea that liberals are righteous and conservatives, particularly on race issues, are evil, degenerate, bad guys.
Well, Keith, with that, we got to close the books on this segment.
You're absolutely right.
You know, now they're just casting deranged northerners as southerners.
You know, they run out of stuff they can make up about us, so now they're just using their own people.
But listen, all this is documented with corroborating links on our website, thepolitical cesspool.org.
I encourage you to check it out and read for more information on your own time.
We're going to be joined by Bill Rowland in the next segment.
We're going to be talking about the cultural genocide that has taken place at Ole Miss when we come back.
Sit tight.
Political Cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
On the show and express your opinion in the political cesspool, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
All right, everybody.
We are now joined by Political Cesspool co-host Bill Rowland.
This is a story so big it took not two, but three of us to cover it accurately.
And I specifically wanted Bill to be a part of our coverage of the cultural genocide down at Ole Miss because he has lived a life on the front lines that far exceeds his six years of service on this program.
And he has been, even more importantly, down there at Ole Miss during the biggest battles for the flag and other Confederate symbolisms down in the 80s and 90s.
And so Bill's going to join us to talk about that.
And here is the story.
Ole Miss, if you've missed it this week, has attacked Colonel Rebel again.
At Ole Miss, the hatred by the administration and the Board of Trustees is getting worse every year.
They banned their mascot, Colonel Rebb, several years ago because he was a symbol of the hated South.
And then they went further.
The university also in recent years has taken other steps to throw off what many perceive, wrongly perceive as lingering reminders of a racist past.
Last year, the band stopped playing this fight song from Dixie with Love to discourage the fans at football games from chanting the South Will Rise Again.
Now, all of this follows the 1997 decision to quit flying Confederate flags at games.
Since Colonel Rebel got dumped, the school has been without a mascot.
They've been without a mascot for seven years now.
Well, just this week, on Monday, they held a vote to see if they should get a new one.
Now, the vote was get a mascot, have no mascot, but Colonel Rebel could not be the mascot.
But guess who's leading the charge or one of the big players in the anti-Colonel Rebb movement?
It's Collins Toohey, the daughter of the infamous Tooys who were portrayed in the Blindside movie that Keith Alexander has provided such great coverage on.
She was a recent graduate of Ole Miss, and interviewed a few days before the vote, she said her parents recognized the need for the change when they attended the school.
And I quote, my dad was an athlete and my mom was a cheerleader.
They saw firsthand the flag and Colonel Rebb were having a negative effect on people.
Okay, we're going to bring Bill and Keith back in on this, but I got to say something straight from the cuff, straight from the heart.
Of all of the issues that I am passionate about, this one stirs my spirit the most.
I will fight a lot of battles in the court of public opinion, but when you attack the South, when you denigrate the Confederacy, you spit on my family, and that is when you will see me take to the streets.
Never forget this.
The South was right, and we have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
I consider myself having won the genetic lottery to have been lucky enough to have been born a southern white male, to be born and raised in a former Confederate state is something that I wouldn't trade for all of the money in the world.
And I've shared the story on this radio program about how my great-grandfather's grandfather died in service to the Confederate cavalry at Shiloh.
I can remember as a kid going down to his home in Corinth, Mississippi, I have touched the blood-stained saddle that he died on.
All right.
I was born 115 years after the end of the Civil War.
And it is something supernatural, something spiritual that drives me to chills whenever I hear Dixie being played, whenever I read about the gallant sacrifices that those men made in the effort to safeguard our families against federal oppression and tyranny.
And I sit here in the studio tonight with fists clenched as I read about that jumped-up white trash, that TUI family leading the charge to systematically remove all the symbols of that which makes the South so precious.
This is cultural genocide, plain and simple, and it's not going to be tolerated by me or any of the people here on this program.
And I implore you, those of you in our listening audience, to always stand up in ardent defense of the Confederate soldier and all that he so righteously stood for.
Bill Rowland, am I making too much of this or not quite enough?
James, the cultural genocide at Ole Miss began a very long time ago.
It actually began when federal marshals escorted James Meredith onto the campus.
That was the first footprint of Leviathan onto the campus of the University of Mississippi.
And the university has really been under siege ever since.
There were change agents on the campus at that time, even before all of the attacks on the symbols began.
The federal government and the cultural Marxists already had their agents on campus back in the early 1960s and before.
So the cultural genocide at Ole Miss has been going on and has been entrenched and a part of the climate there for a very long time.
Now, of course, the ascendancy of these cultural Marxists and their eventual empowerment on campus is more recent.
But nevertheless, the problem has always been, James, that you have one generation of students after another coming on the scene to fight for the symbols, to try and maintain some vestige of the old South on campus.
And these students are there for four years.
After four years, they're gone, and the whole process starts over again.
And you'll notice that these attacks on the symbols have four-year cycles.
It's about a four-year cycle for each symbol, each song, each reminder of the old South.
But the problem is, of course, the cultural Marxism used the football program and the sports programs at the University of Mississippi as vehicles to bring about these changes and to attack these symbols.
Because most of the alumni at the University of Mississippi who are drenched in this football fanaticism, who break a sweat over whether the University of Mississippi will attract some field hand from the cotton patch to carry a football 50 yards, 100 yards downfield.
This is their obsession.
They have absolutely no concern or consideration for the average student, their parents having saved the tuition money to send them to this little red hole in the middle of Mississippi.
And, you know, they have no concern for those people, only for whether or not their football team will triumph against Mississippi State University.
A narrow-minded, one-eyed view of the university.
Now, I can tell you for a fact that these cultural marxists are entrenched there, that they've got a game plan, so to speak, in place for many, many years.
And that this plan, this architecture for Ole Miss, what we should call the Soviet state of Ole Miss, the Soviet regime at Ole Miss, because it very much is.
It's a Soviet system.
And this regime has plans constantly in place to remove these things.
It's like a machine pumping away, pumping away, pumping away.
And it goes to much higher levels than the Chancellor's Office or even the alumni associations.
Presidential administrations have kept their finger on Ole Miss because it's absolutely essential for cultural Marxism to succeed everywhere.
It's absolutely essential that it succeeded Ole Miss, that Ole Mist be completely deconstructed and then remade into the image of James Meredith, into the image of the cultural Marxists.
So they're just reinventing the school to use for their own purposes.
It's an outpost of cultural Marxism in the middle of one of the most conservative states in the country, and they're going to use it as a sounding board.
They're going to use it as a springboard to dictate how things should be in Mississippi.
Just as when the flag fight was going on, Ole Miss was the headquarters of the anti-flag movement in the state of Mississippi.
All of the opinions about the flag came out of Mississippi, the so-called expert opinions.
Bill Ferris's Center for the Study of Southern Culture was always issuing these little directives and these little opinions about the flag for which they weren't qualified to make.
So the University of Mississippi is, first of all, a Soviet state.
It is a dangerous place for white people, white students to be.
Southern whites should not save their money to send their children to that place and then have them come back, you know, wild-eyed fanatics for cultural Marxism.
They're in danger down there.
White students are bullied down there.
They're intimidated down there.
And the people who think that by waving their hands in the air when the football team comes on the field and by supporting the football team, that they're going to be spared from this cultural Marxism are deluding themselves.
They're fools.
They're not going to be spared from it.
They've never been spared from it.
They have simply been so deeply indoctrinated with the idea that their football team may not get the biggest, most physically deformed black player from the state of Mississippi that they're overlooking what's going on around them.
They're going to lose their school.
White parents should not send and spend a dime to send their children to Ole Miss because they're wasting their money.
They're throwing their money away on a third-rate university that only is promoting cultural Marxism.
They're financing the cultural Marxism that's being spread all over the state of Mississippi.
Well, Bill, this is key.
Let me say this, that the South and the Confederate movement and anything that even suggests a celebration or an acceptance of that interlude in American history is going to be resisted by the cultural Marxists because they cannot tolerate, one, any resistance to the progressive agenda, and two, any outcropping of white solidarity.
And of course, celebration of the Confederate past of Mississippi and of the southern United States fits.
Keith, hold that thought, buddy.
I'm going to give you first divs at a soliloquy when we come back after this break.
I definitely want to hear your thoughts on this because you have a special connection to the university as well.
We'll be back with more right after this.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
We got to get out of this place.
Welcome back to get on the political cesspool.
Call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
All right, I got my blood pressure cuff on my arm.
I got a little O2 going into my nostrils, and we're gearing up for another segment here.
We are going to continue our coverage on the cultural genocide being waged against the South during the second hour.
So, much more to come on this subject.
But I want to turn it back over to Keith Alexander.
We're talking about Ole Miss.
Keith, your take or continue your take on the latest attack on the South from the campus of Ole Miss.
Well, you know, I'm an alum of Ole Miss.
Bill is also.
I remember what Ole Miss used to be like, even in the pre-James Meredith days.
And I think it's important for people to understand that basically what's being attacked now are the second generation of attenuated, watered-down southern Confederate reminiscent symbols.
For example, Colonel Rebel was an invention of the 1970s, and he was a bow to political correctness.
The original mascot was, they always elected a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity to be the rebel cavalryman in a full, fully resplendent in a Confederate cavalryman's uniform, oftentimes riding a white stallion onto the field, leading the team on that white stallion, and then brandishing a saber and stabbing it into the ground.
Of course, that was much too in your face and much too martial and warlike in spirit to satisfy the civil rights generation of liberals.
So they replaced him with a kind of buffoonish, clownish Colonel Rebel dressed up like an old plantation master in gray, red, and blue costume with a goatee and a mustache looking like Colonel Morton or Colonel Sanders from the Kentucky Fried Chicken fame and cavorting around the sidelines, sometimes wearing shorts and things like this.
So, you know, Colonel Reb is a secondary symbol, and now he's too extreme for them.
What was a move for political rightness in the 70s is now too extreme for the liberals of today.
Likewise.
Appeasement never works.
That's right, it never does.
And the other thing for Dixie from Dixie with Love was another sop to political correctness.
Before they played for Dixie with Love, they came, they used to play Dixie, a stirring martial air, you know, a war song.
And I mean, it thrilled the blood and thrilled the passions of southerners everywhere.
Even Louis Grizzard wrote an article about this in the 90s.
And they gradually, without any fanfare, just stopped playing that and instead played this thing, this montage called From Dixie with Love, that's kind of like the Elvis Presley song that had American trilogy that has, you know, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, things like this, and just has a few bars from Dixie in it.
And again, what was watered down Confederate consciousness in the 70s is now offensive, over-the-top Confederate consciousness to the liberals of today in the year 2010.
And see, what it shows is that they also took away the Confederate flag.
They said rather to get around the First Amendment issue, they said, we're not banishing the flag.
You just can't have any sticks because they might be dangerous.
Well, nobody ever got hurt with one of those sticks in 50 years before they banished it, but they decided to do that because these people are censors.
These people are totalitarians.
And, of course, the people running Ole Miss basically are cultural Marxists themselves.
They go to education schools.
Most of them are change agents, people like Bob Kayat, the present chancellor, Dan Jones.
They go up to places like Harvard.
They're sent back down here like Manchurian candidates, you know, responding to cues like Pavlov's dog.
And they know that their standing in the educational community, which is what they really care about, will depend upon them being identified as the brave soul that drugged the University of Mississippi kicking and screaming into the 21st century and made them give up all this white racial solidarity, this mass white racial solidarity in the form of Confederate symbols.
And of course, there are people at Ole Miss that are persuaded to go along with this because they think that if we give them a hush puppy like Colonel Rebel or from Dixie with Love, they will leave our sainted name, Ole Miss, which is reminiscent of the name that slaves gave to the wife of the plantation owner back in the Old South.
It was originally the name of the Ole Miss Annual and then became a synonym for the whole university.
And they'll also leave alone the name Rebels, which, of course, is what they call Confederate soldiers.
Well, these people are living in La La Land.
You know, they may as well just, you know, roll forward to end game.
Let's call Ole Miss the Marxist-Leninist Institution of Mississippi.
And we can just take the hat off of Colonel Rebel and call him Comrade Lennon.
You know, he has the mustache and the beard already, you know, the trademark mustache and beard of Lennon.
We just need to put him in a darker suit, I guess.
And, you know, maybe that will satisfy the cultural Marxists.
But, you know, there's no, I really think they're not going to be satisfied until everything about the university is thrown down the Orwellian memory hole.
And, Bill, what makes this so utterly despicable, and we're going to get into more of the meat of what happened this week during the second hour.
You were sharing with me, and I knew bits and pieces of this already, the rich history of Ole Miss.
If you don't mind, give a brief overview of that, Bill, very quickly.
And this will really make it even more upsetting what that university has devolved into.
Ole Miss was established as a university, the University of Mississippi, as it was known then, was established in the 18, I think it was 1840, 1840, 1848.
And it was built largely on the wealth that Mississippi had accumulated from cotton.
But it was known very quickly.
It had risen to such a steam that it was known as the Harvard of the South.
And virtually all the students on campus then were, of course, men.
The men, it was a male college.
All colleges were male colleges, pretty much back in those days.
And I think there were something like 78 to 90 students on the campus of the University of Mississippi.
New buildings had been built, and it was one of the few colleges in the country that actually had an observatory, a fully equipped observatory.
So the university was drawing eminent scholars.
It was educating the young men of Mississippi at a very, very high standard, to a very high standard.
And then when the war came along, the War for Southern Independence erupted, Virtually every student at the University of Mississippi joined or formed a company called the University Grays.
And the University Grays, because it was virtually the entire student body, marched off the war, the university went into hibernation, so to speak, or was dormant.
You know, classes for at least a considerable time were not held because the whole student body was off fighting for the Confederacy.
And when the, I think it was 1863, Union soldiers, several companies or a regiment of Union cavalry from Ohio, came and raided into Mississippi and burned the college to the ground.
Like they burned everything else.
Exactly.
They stole the equipment.
They ransacked the entire university and then burned several of the buildings to the ground.
Well, when the University of Mississippi was virtually non-existent at the end of the war, there were no professors who could be paid.
There were no buildings.
A handful of Confederate soldiers, mostly Confederate generals, including A.P. Stewart and another Confederate general named, I forget his name now, but there were several Confederate generals who single-handedly reestablished that university.
It wouldn't exist today if it hadn't been for a few Confederate generals who were dedicated to the purpose of reestablishing the University of Mississippi and bringing it back into existence.
It wouldn't be here today.
So you see the cultural – yeah, Bill, that's the point.
This is the history of Ole Miss, the University of Mississippi.
And unfortunately, in the eyes of a few people within the leadership of that administration, that history is not good enough anymore.
It's a disgrace to them.
It's a disgrace to them because those men are better than they are.
Far better.
You know, Chancellor Kayak is not an Anglo-Saxon.
I don't even consider him a white man.
He is a Middle Eastern.
He has no connection either through blood or through heritage with anything in Mississippi.
He's the son of one of the most corrupt political manipulators in the history of that state.
His father is a criminal, a convict.
And, you know, this is the man that some group of alumni or some group of wealthy, degenerate Mississippians chooses to run their university.
Some Middle Eastern rug merchant son is the man they choose.
They threw away their own bloodline.
They threw away their own heritage for the sake of what could be called a mess of dark pottage.
In other words, you turn your back on the people, the men, who strove at their own expense to bring the university back into existence so they could be handed over to the likes of James Meredith and a bunch of black football players who can't even read their names on their own jerseys.
Well, Bill, we've got to take a break.
We're going to talk about this a lot more in the second hour, but I want to say this.
You don't see our people going up and taking colleges away from other races.
Why can't we have one college?
Is one college too much for the Confederate ancestors to call their own?
We're going to talk more about it in the second hour.
Stay tuned.
Harve leaped to his feet and said, Something's got a hold on me.
Yeah!
The day the squirrel went berserk in the first South Baptist church in that sleeping little town of Pastor Goula.
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival.
They were jumping pews and shouting, Hallelujah!
Well, Harve hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
And Harve thought he had a weed eater loose in his fruit of blooms.
He fell to his knees to plead and beg, and the squirrel ran out of his britch's leg, unobserved, to the other side of the room.
