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.
Welcome back, everybody, to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards, and it's good to be home.
Saturday evening, December 10th.
We're coming to you live from AM 1380 WLRM Radio in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, and going out to the AM FM affiliate stations, as always, of the Liberty News Radio Network and simulcasting online to a worldwide audience of listeners at thepoliticalcesspool.org there at our official internet headquarters.
You can also find our broadcast archives, including just a few minutes after tonight's program, the show you're listening to right now.
Good to be back in the studio this evening after being on a little, spending a little time with the family last week.
If you missed last week's show, a great show.
Bill Rowland and Keith Alexander were in studio filling in for me.
And as I said on the blog earlier this week, I'm a guy that cringes at the sound of his own voice.
So I typically don't listen to any of the programs that I'm a part of.
I'm a reluctant hero.
I will admit that I listened to the Pat Buchanan interview.
But besides that, I typically don't listen to the show.
But I always listen when I'm not here and enjoy it just as much as any other fan.
Keith and Bill, great job last week.
Sam Dixon was absolutely stellar in the third hour.
And again, folks, that's just one of many reasons dating back to 2004 why you should make our broadcast archives a daily visit.
But that was the past and tonight is tonight.
And joining me in the studio, as he always does, during the first hour, my good friend and yours, Keith Alexander.
Keith, how you doing, buddy?
Feeling great, filled with Christmas cheer, enjoying the green room treatment here that we always get down at our studios on Beale.
And we're just really kind of luxuriating in the spirit of the season, James.
Yeah, we really are.
And I'll tell you what's going on here tonight.
We have a listener, a loyal fan of the political cesspool, who has driven all the way from St. Louis, Missouri to be with us in Memphis tonight.
Mark from St. Louis is in studio tonight.
And as a result, you know, we have put out the star spread.
And we have got here, we've got all sorts of swag in the studio tonight.
We've got a cooler full of drinks.
We've got, let's see what we got in there.
We've got Pepsi, Lipton Tea.
We got 7 up.
We got bottled waters.
We've got a fruit tray, a vegetable tray.
It's all happening tonight at 1380.
I mean, we really spared no expense for our fans.
You know, they get the star treatment when they come down.
Any guy that's traveled, what is it, five hours?
Five hours just to sit in with us tonight.
That is the guy that gets the royal treatment.
So we've got it all decked out in the studio tonight.
And we're going to talk to Mark a little bit later.
In the second hour, we're going to bring Mark on and he's going to sit in with me a little bit.
And we're going to talk about things, talk about some of his favorite shows, favorite guests, and some of the current articles featured on our website.
But, you know, every now and then, as Keith can attest, you know, we have people and we've had them from all over the country.
I mean, we know we have fans all over the country and all over the world, but we have actually had the opportunity to meet quite a few.
People do take the time to drive into Memphis just to visit with us.
God bless them.
And when they do, we roll out the red carpet.
It's not unusual at all for Keith to give him a tour of the city.
And we'll, you know, have a lunch, invite him to the studio.
And we haven't been assassinated yet.
We love our audience.
Let me tell you that we understand that we're just spokespeople, that we represent the mindset of a lot of people.
And quite frankly, there are a lot of people out there listening to this show that are smarter than we are.
And we would love, you know, we love to meet you.
We love to interact with you, get your ideas, get your viewpoint on things.
And we're serious about that.
So if you ever find yourself in Memphis, give us a call.
Well, that's absolutely right, Keith.
And we do mean that from the bottom of my heart for all the success, all the news that this program has generated, you know what this show has done during the course of its run so far.
That's all been made possible by you.
We might play a role in it, but the financial support that our audience shows the program, the love, the dedication that people like Mark show, folks, we wouldn't be here without you.
And we never lose sight of that.
Even after all these years, we still know who butters our bread, so to speak.
And we're eternally grateful.
And that comes, that's from me to you and from Keith to you as well.
And we've got a great show for you tonight.
Just two weeks to Christmas.
Where did the year go?
I know at my house, we've got the Christmas tree up.
We've got the Christmas lights up.
It's all decked out.
Candles everywhere.
We got a candle in the studio tonight, too, along with all this food and all these tasty beverages.
But we're really getting in.
Yeah, Christmas tree.
Sure, it's all here at 1380.
We're really getting into the spirit of the season now.
And that includes on our website where we're going to be featuring Christmas songs and actually have been for the past few days, featuring some Christmas songs.
Some of my personal favorites.
Well, we're actually going to play one of my favorite songs a little later in the show tonight, maybe at the end of the show, just the last couple of minutes before we go into the outro to help get everybody into the Christmas spirit.
And we're going to be talking more about the culture war against Christmas as this month continues leading up to that very special holy day.
But speaking of music, Keith, I know one thing we've got on the website this week that is not a Christmas song is a little ditty that was put up at your request.
Tell the folks what it was and why it's there.
Well, the song you're talking about is Welfare Cadillac, which was a country music hit in the late 60s and early 70s.
It was President Richard Nixon's favorite country song.
And when Johnny Cash, the former Rockbilly, by then country music star, made a visit to the White House, he asked President Nixon to give him a list of songs that he would like him to play while he was there at the White House.
And of course, Nixon named Welfare Cadillac number one.
Well, at the time, Johnny Cash was trying to ingratiate himself to Bob Dylan and his ilk.
He apparently couldn't get around the idea that he was actually a country music singer and not a Jewish folk singer like Bob Dylan.
So he turned it down and made a big publicity stink about it.
Quite frankly, he's lucky that Nixon didn't pull the rug out from under him and rescind his invitation to the White House, but because he certainly deserved it.
Guy Drake, the person who signed Welfare Cadillac, then made a big point of contacting the White House and saying that he would come to the White House at his own expense and play this song for President Nixon.
President Nixon thought it was great.
President Nixon knew that it was, one, very timely.
Two, it was very well-written and witty, deft.
It uses a country dialect.
But let me tell you, there's not a syllable misplaced in this song, and we're going to let you hear it before the hour is out.
Again, this is a song that came at Keith's request.
And as we wrote on the blog, in these days of ever-increasing government welfare entitlements, it's refreshing to recall an earlier time in America when welfare was criticized and derided, and chronic welfare was considered the earmark of a moral slacker.
And of course, we posted this video, this antique, just a few days after covering the story about the black woman who has 15 kids and is upset that no one is being accountable.
No one's being responsible and helping her pay for them.
And by no one, she's talking about taxpayers.
And she's talking about white taxpayers.
We got to take a break, ladies and gentlemen.
Settled in.
It's going to be a great show tonight.
We're going to cover all sorts of news.
I got to make up for two weeks because I wasn't here last week.
I got a lot to bring to your attention.
Stay tuned.
We'll be back right after these messages.
Jump in, the political says, pull with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cess Pool, James Edwards.
Welcome back, everybody, to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
We're having a party in the studio tonight here in downtown Memphis, Tennessee.
And of course, we always have a party with all of our listeners in Radio Land.
But tonight we're having a party with one of our listeners again who has driven down from St. Louis, Missouri to be with us in Memphis, Tennessee this evening, a five-hour drive just to set in on a live broadcast of the Political Cess Pool.
And we're going to talk to Mark in the second and third hours.
We're going to interview one of the fans, you know, a good guy he is.
And, you know, he definitely embodies the grassroots vibe of the listenership.
And as we said, you know, we've got it all.
We got a nice spread in the studio tonight, you know, because we roll out the red carpet for the listeners.
It's the listeners who keep us on the air.
We got all these soft drinks and bottled waters.
Keith was gorging himself on strawberries like they were going out of style.
He was hitting up the fruit tray.
I was taking care of business on the cheese tray.
And together, we did a little damage in that three-minute commercial break.
But it's been great.
We were talking a little bit about music during the first hour.
Keith was mentioning welfare Cadillac and how times have changed.
We were talking with Mark about music and many other things while we were sitting in the green room before the show came on.
But I got to tell you something.
Since we're on the topic of music, before we get back to something serious and talking about the fans, I got an email today.
You know, we've been doing this show for seven years, eight years now.
We started in 04.
We're in 08.
We're in 2012 in a couple of weeks.
So it's nearly eight years.
That's a long time to be doing the show.
And we've gotten a little hot of emails over that near decade run of broadcasting.
But I got an email today, ladies and gentlemen, that could have been the most meaningful email I have ever gotten as host of the program.
And it let me know that I am having an impact on the audience, that they listen to what I have to say and they take it to heart.
The title of the email, as Keith goes back to the fruit tray, what did you get?
It got a slice of apple.
The title of the email is, I Saw Frankie Valley.
And it says, Hi, James.
I saw Frankie Valley the other night at Turningstone Casino and Resort here in upstate New York.
Unbelievable voice.
He still has it.
His band was awesome too.
You are the reason I decided to check him out.
And this, Keith, comes from our friend Jeff in Oneida, New York.
So all the way up there in New York, we're reaching people and having an impact.
And he saw a great show because of our ceaseless promotion of good music.
Well, I've noticed, James, that you have this affinity for Pisan singers.
You go all the way back to Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, Jerry Vale, Al Martino, Perry Como.
You like them all.
Then you get into the early 60s type, like Johnny Maestro singing 16 Candles.
You had the Brooklyn Bridge singing worst that could happen.
Then we get into the mid-60s where they had to morph into Englishmen, you know, trying to be like the Beatles.
You had Sal Valentino of the Beau Brummels.
You had a guy named Carl Jimesey, was it, from the Buckinghams.
Yeah, and they're all sorts of people, you know, that, yeah, and, you know, Felix Cavallari of the Young Rascals.
It's amazing to me that you like Dion, even though he wrote that or performed that export Abraham Martin and John song.
Yeah, we forgive him for that.
But see, and Frankie Avalon, people like that.
All of your favorites, you know, I'd say nine out of ten of them wind up being Paison singers.
Why is that, James?
Tell us.
Look, I don't know what they got, but they got something.
And I like good music, and I gravitate towards the people that can do it.
And I say this with a mouthful of food, ladies and gentlemen.
Keith handed back the mic a little bit before I was prepared.
But anyway, you know, again, it's a festive spirit tonight in the studio.
We're talking about a lot of fun stuff.
We're having a good time.
It is close to Christmas.
So we're going to take it light.
But I guess we got to get back to business here for the fans that are serious this evening.
Look, if he's got a mouthful of food, ladies and gentlemen, there's one thing you can bet on.
You can bet your bottom dollar.
You can bet the family farm on the fact there's not a vegetable in.
You know, he's like Al Bundy on Married with Children.
He said, I'm so hungry I could eat a vegetable.
James, I can assure you, has never been that hungry at any time in his life.
So Consequently, he didn't talk about me getting all the squirrel food up there, all the, you know, rabbit food, strawberries and grapes and things like this, apples.
None of that will pass James's lips.
He's eating sausage and cheese and rich crackers, right?
Folks, this is no exaggeration.
I appreciate you indulging us tonight as we have fun.
Because listen, we're real guys.
We have a real audience.
We take very seriously our work, but at the same time, you know, we're going to enjoy ourselves.
And so we're enjoying ourselves on the air right now.
But it is true.
I'm 31 years old and never in my life have I eaten a salad.
And I've never eaten a vegetable unless it's smothered in some sort of a gravy like a beef stew or something like that.
It just doesn't happen.
I'm the Atkins diet prototype.
I'm meat and potatoes only.
If you count a French fries, a vegetable, or ketchup, I do make those exceptions.
Ronald Reagan.
Ketchup is a vegetable.
Anyway, Keith, we spent so much time committing here that I don't know if we have time to get anything too serious, but I'll turn it over to you and you can talk about something sensible and then we'll probably get back off the track a little later.
When it gets this close to Christmas, we let down our swords a little bit, I guess.
Well, I've been watching one thing and another, and I'm coming up with a constant theme that seems to be playing itself out as I drive down the street, look at billboards, look at signs.
And that theme is the treason of the elites.
For example, I looked at a billboard today and it had something about Arctic Home program that's being sponsored by Walmart and by Coca-Cola, in which they have a polar bear featured.
And it said, take a polar bear home for Christmas.
And it had a polar bear Christmas ornament.
Now, what's going on here?
Of course, polar bear is one of the favorites of the environmentalists.
Polar bears, according to Al Gore, are supposedly drowning in the Arctic because of global warming.
And of course, that's because we wicked people here in Western Europe and America and those parts of the world, you know who you are, are emitting greenhouse gases.
Of course, we're not emitting a tenth of the greenhouse gases that China and India are emitting.
But somehow we're responsible for the deaths of all sorts of cute, cuddly little polar bears.
Of course, a polar bear is one of the deadliest animals on the planet.
If you ever encounter a polar bear in the wild, you might as well say your prayers because you're going down.
Hatefully, there's no polar bears in Memphis where it's 115 degrees in the summer.
Yeah, but you're absolutely right.
In fact, they're basically drugged out the ones that are at the zoo.
They think it's the most miserable conditions ever.
But nonetheless, you would think that we're responsible for that.
Why is Walmart going to offend at least half of its customer base along with Coca-Cola in order to promote environmentalism, which is just another offshoot of liberalism, which is, as we have said time and again on this show, the modern face of evil?
Why are they doing this?
I think the elites have turned the page.
They are now totally in bed, totally sold out to liberalism.
They have decided we can't beat them, so we're going to join them.
This is true for businesses, it's true for the professions, and it's true for the churches.
And that's a tease, people.
It may not have sounded like it, but we're going to get into how all three of those institutions, venerable as they are, have been co-opted by liberalism in the next segment of the political cesspool tonight.
It's coming up, ladies and gentlemen, after the break.
That's right, Bill Rowland last week when he was subbing for me as a guest host, he spent a considerable amount of time during the second hour detailing a story about a very, very small church in rural Kentucky that had taken a stand, as a private institution should be allowed to do, on banning interracial couples from its membership.
Well, as Keith will get into in the next segment, they have reversed that stand after about two days of name-calling.
Obviously, you know, the left has a tactic here that works, and that's why they continue to go to the playbook time and time again.
They know that if you just put a little pressure on individuals or institutions, you call them a racist, you call them a bigot, you do it for about two days, you're going to get whatever you want out of them.
What happened to men with spines?
You know, we've been doing this stuff for eight years, and we're not special, but we're men, and so we can handle it.
We're going to take a break.
We'll be back and talk in the morning.
To get on the show and express your opinion in the political cesspool, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
We gotta get out of this place.
Having a party tonight.
We're having a party, as Sam Cook once said.
And we're having a good time.
James Edwards, Keith Alexander, in studio with you in Memphis tonight with our special guest and friend, Mark, a loyal listener from St. Louis who's driven down to be with us tonight.
And we're enjoying his company.
And I hope that you're enjoying ours.
Before the last break, we mentioned that we're going to get into a follow-up on a story that Bill Rowland was covering last week.
You heard about it if you listened to the show.
A small church in Kentucky took a traditional stand on interracial marriage by refusing to allow such couples to serve as members.
was very common not too long ago in churches.
And there's always been churches that embrace that, and those are the churches that these so-called blended families should go to.
But as a private institution, you should have the right to be able to select who your members are.
This isn't the federal government.
Well, they were able to withstand name-calling that followed their original decision for about a day after Bill's report before reversing their position.
I guess the fact that they lasted a day before falling on their sword is still several hours longer than most.
But again, Keith, what we have in play here is this wasn't a mega church.
This wasn't Joel Osteen's church.
This is a church with a small congregation that probably feels the way that the church originally felt about this matter.
So what are they so afraid of?
I mean, they're just going to be called a name and really what's to lose.
But apparently, there is a lot of fear in name-calling today, which is why the cultural Marxists employ the tactic so much.
They know that hurling words like racist and bigot have become powerful weapons to use against men who have no spine.
It's effective, so they'll continue to play it time and time again.
We, Keith, on the other hand, here in the political cesspool, you know, we've been able to endure these withering attacks, these ceaseless, constant attacks, for nearly a decade, but we're the exception.
However, if more people followed our example, we could disarm the left or their socio-political nuclear bomb once and for all.
Keith, two questions.
What's going on here with this church and what makes us different than so many others?
Well, one thing that makes us different is that we are freebooters, okay?
There are a lot of people, I have a lot of sympathy for people that have to succumb to positions and ideas that they find repugnant in today's world, because if you work for a big company, if you are not the master of your own ship economically, then your career can be destroyed by political correctness.
In fact, you know, people like Edmund Connolly have been on our show before.
He's a writer for the Occidental Observer who is one of our favorite people.
He said that he thinks that political correctness and the soft tyranny of cultural Marxism is much more effective than the iron fist of Stalinism and classical Marxism, you know, where they would take you out and put you against a wall in a firing squad or put a bullet in the base of your brain at the Lubianca.
Having people have their own families turn against them, have their lose their ability to earn a living, totally demoralizing.
And it does not make you a martyr in the way that, for example, being killed in the basement of the Lubianca would have back in the old days.
So consequently, they've got the upper hand.
And it shows you that we've got a treason of the elites going on now.
Probably what happened to this Kentucky church is that national headquarters or denominational headquarters called, told him he was going to lose his pulpit unless he got in line, so he got in line.
This is what's happening across the board.
You know, I was telling you about that billboard about apparently the leadership of Walmart and Coca-Cola, both southern companies, both founded by good Scots-Irish conservative gentlemen back in the day, are now promoting liberalism, environmentalism.
In fact, it's liberalism based on totally specious and bogus science.
You know, there is no man-made component to global warming.
The globe warms and cools periodically all on its own.
It did it back in the days of the dinosaurs, and it's doing it again today.
They had an ice age.
So we had global cooling of a great magnitude several times in the past.
And we've also had global warming because all the ice has melted away.
And furthermore, we here in the West, we in America and in Europe and Australia and places like that, aren't the problem.
The problem where all the greenhouse gases are going into the atmosphere, that's happening in the third world.
This is just something that's being used to bring us down in the West.
That's what the left wants.
See, everyone has this mistaken notion that liberals are nice, tolerant, loving, beneficent people.
They're not.
They always couch their arguments in terms that they are for something when secretly what they really are is against something.
For example, the civil rights movement wasn't pro-black.
It was anti-white.
Feminism is not pro-woman.
It's anti-male, anti-white male specifically.
Environmentalism isn't pro-third world.
It's anti-first world.
All of these liberal movements are meant to affect change.
And the change that they want to effect is change in your life.
They want you to have a reduced standard of living.
So we have Walmart and Coca-Cola in the business world.
In the professions, I was telling you last week about a silk-stocking law firm in Memphis that was told by a website consultant that they had insufficient diversity.
And this was shocking to this person.
And as a result, rather than kicking this guy out on his keister and telling him not to let the door hit him in the posterior when he left, they've embraced the criticism and have initiated a new hiring scheme in which 75% of all new hires are going to be diversities.
In other words, anybody but a white male.
And you see this in the churches as well.
All the churches in Memphis, I don't care if they're the most rigid, old-fashioned, tub-thumping fundamentalist or the most groovy-with-it mainline Protestant or Roman Catholics, whatever they are, they have all replaced Christianity as their primary religion with good old liberalism.
Liberalism apparently is synonymous in their minds with Christianity.
Now, the idea that they should serve their congregation is somehow an anathema to them.
They do not want to serve their predominantly white congregations.
They are constantly trying to get black people to join their churches, but black people aren't in their churches because black people don't want to join their churches.
They like their own churches.
Now, no one has ever floated the idea, as far as I'm concerned, that black people have to have this embrace of multiculturalism and diversity towards white people in order to be good Christians.
Hispanic Christians certainly don't either.
In fact, they can have a racially exclusive church, and that is unobjectionable.
In fact, you know, it's even wonderful.
But on the other hand, how many billboards have you seen in your community where, for example, there are several prominent churches in Memphis where they have these rotating billboards, you know, the newest thing.
And one of the things it says is, 11 o'clock Sunday should not be the most segregated hour of the week.
Or is your church more racially exclusive than the boardrooms of corporate America?
I've never seen a black church do this.
I've never seen a Hispanic church, predominantly Hispanic church, do this.
What particular virus is being inflicted upon us, founding stock of America, to make us embrace this destructive viewpoint.
And it's obvious that it's only affecting us.
And it's only affecting us because that's what it was designed to do.
And it is intended to affect our dispossession, degradation, and ultimate death, James.
Keith, another outstanding commentary, as all of our listeners are certain to expect from you.
And I knew at some point during the hour we would get down to brass tacks and give them a dose of red meat.
And I think certainly you just did.
And that's a very important topic.
And again, getting back to that church, an unfortunate follow-up to a story that Bill covered last week that at the time was quite at least positive in the sense that they bucked political correctness and weren't going to apologize for it.
But in the end, 90% of everyone does apologize when defending the false gods of cultural Marxism.
We're part of the very few that don't.
Mark, we were talking during the break, and he did mention there was a priest down in Louisiana a year or two ago that refused to marry a blended couple, a mixed race couple.
And he was very polite about it.
He just said, listen, you know, I don't believe that that's in line with my faith.
He said, I'm going to have to politely decline your request to marry you, but I'm sure you'll be able to find someone else that will.
And he, of course, was panned for that.
But he never apologized.
So he joins the political cesspool in that regard.
He is in our league and on our team.
And I only wish there would be more people with just the power to uphold their convictions, just the wherewithal to stick to their guns.
They are few and far between in today's political climate.
But we're proud to be one of them.
We're going to take a break and we'll be back with more right after this.
The political cesspool, guys.
We'll be back right after these messages.
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.
Well, folks, another broadcast of the Political Cesspool Radio Program is underway live and well, unrehearsed, unscripted, and uncensored.
And we continue to eat here.
We're eating.
That's for sure.
No drive-through McDonald's tonight after the show for me.
I will be certainly full.
I might have to take a nap during the next commercial break.
You know, we've got that eight-minute commercial break at the – Keith says I have the same diet as a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
But I might have to think, you know, when I eat, though, when I eat a lot, I get tired.
It's time for a nap.
And, you know, we got that eight-minute commercial break in between the top and bottom of each hour.
And it might, excuse me, at the end of each hour before the second and third hour begins, respectively.
I don't know, a little micro nap might be in order.
But Keith, you know, actually, if you can carry us through, I can just crawl up right over there.
No, I won't do that, folks.
I'm a professional.
You know that.
But that don't stop me from eating and drinking a Coke while I'm on air.
And I'm going to do that while Keith takes you into this next segment.
Keith was on fire that last one.
But let's not stop now.
We're not going to put you out yet, Keith.
No, let me just jump back into the church and the hypocrisy that is organized Christianity today and organized religion generally.
For example, I was downtown today and went by Clayburn Temple, the former civil rights shrine where Martin Luther King and his cronies would plot strategy to, you know, cause the walls to come tumbling down, as they say on NPR.
Well, up at the top of that church, which is now in a ghetto, somewhat reclaimed because it's near the FedEx Forum and a big urban renewal project.
FedEx Forum is where the Memphis Grizzlies play basketball, among other things.
But up at the top, it says Second Presbyterian 1902.
Second Presbyterian is a silk-stocking white church, and it has been from day one.
So this church building that the world knows as Clayburn Temple was actually the Second Presbyterian facility until 1949.
We talked about this with Anita Taylor.
Yeah, we did.
I was telling you, you know, back in August when we had the United in Prayer blog entry, what happened to Second Presbyterian is what's happened to so many churches in Memphis when the neighborhood transitions from white to black and innumerable neighborhoods have done that in Memphis over the past century.
What happens is that the white churches sell out their facilities usually at bargain basement prices.
Oh, we'll talk about how great diversity is.
Yeah, to black congregations, and they move out east.
But then we're treated to the hypocrisy of them saying how wonderful diversity is and how much they want black people in their congregations.
Well, if that were true, why don't they stay put in an increasingly black neighborhood?
They don't because money talks and B.S. Walks, as the prostitutes say at the corner of Shelby Drive and Lamar in Memphis.
And they want that money.
And they know that if that, what would have happened, let's just explore this a bit.
What would have happened to Second Presbyterian Church had they remained in place there in downtown Memphis in the slums?
What would have happened is that their congregation would have gotten smaller and smaller.
They would not be any power to be reckoned with.
They would probably be on the verge of closing or they would have closed by now.
They would have attracted a few vegetarians and college professors as congregants, but they would not be this big juggernaut of wealth and influence that they are now had they not followed their white congregations out to the suburbs, which they did.
Bellevue Baptist, the largest Baptist church, Southern Baptist church in America and probably the world, did the very same thing.
They used to be in midtown Memphis.
They sold their facility, moved out.
They tried to avoid having to move so many times again in the future.
Rather than moving one interchange down the expressway, they moved several way out in the sticks, bought this huge tract of land, but all the time, to get as far away from black Memphis as they could.
But all the time they're crowing, Bellevue Loves Memphis, and they've got all these outreach programs to help black people in Memphis.
And they claim that they want black people in their church.
if they want black people in their church, why did they move so dad gum far out from the inner city?
They did it so they could get away from the black people, not because they necessarily wanted to get away from black people, but they knew that their white congregants, the people that actually make the collection plate ring on Sunday morning, wouldn't go to their church if they stayed in the inner city.
So there's massive hypocrisy involved in the approach of white churches to the race issue.
They say they want black people to join their churches.
Black people aren't about to join their churches because black people have a sense of racial pride that apparently is totally foreign to the religious leadership of white churches.
They can't imagine anybody having this.
And they like to have their own churches with their own pastors of their own race.
And they're not interested in joining a church dominated by white people.
You know, I have the feeling that some of these churches actually pay black people to attend them.
You know, as crazy as that sounds.
But they are all into appearances.
They all want to be good liberals.
But black people, as they say, ain't studying them.
They're not about to fall for that malarkey.
Likewise, I don't see any of the old line black businesses in Memphis jumping through hoops, straining at gnats, trying to get white employees hired to them.
You know, all this is a one-way street.
And again, if multiculturalism is such a wonderful principle, why aren't black churches and black businesses criticized in the way that this Kentucky church was for taking a racially exclusive view?
They are, you know, for example, the black Muslims are hawking their newspaper at every inner city intersection you can imagine.
And if you read their newspaper, it's quite obvious that they see white people as the enemy.
They have a strong sense of racial solidarity in their particular religious organization.
White people are not permitted to attend.
They don't want them there under any circumstances.
In fact, if you tried to go to one of their services, I guarantee you, you'd be picked up by the scruff of the neck and thrown out.
But on the other hand, none of that ever comes in for any criticism from the mainstream media.
On the other hand, you have one isolated pastor in some rural part of Kentucky that says that he really doesn't think that interracial marriage is a great idea and therefore he would decline to perform the ceremony.
And he is hammered into submission within a 24-hour period, James.
You know, something, you know, the elites running this country have sold out and they're selling us out.
And what's going to happen to us is exactly what's happening in South Africa now.
White people, in fact, the Council of Conservative Citizens ran a blog entry in the past two weeks in where a white girl was mistakenly, I say mistakenly, admitted to medical school in South Africa and her letter of admission was rescinded when they found out her race.
That's what's going to happen.
You're going to find it harder.
They also want you to contribute to mentoring black children or non-white children so that they can be minimally qualified for what purpose?
To displace your children and grandchildren from their rightful place in the economic order.
And people are crazy enough to go along with this.
You know, the masochism is absolutely utterly astounding.
And how somebody can't see how this will end is beyond me.
But if you want to see how it ends, you need to study with care the history of Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, and South Africa.
If you want to see what happens when the white population shrinks and it is no longer the minority, I mean the majority, you'll find that minority rights disappear when whites become the minority, James.
Another outstanding performance by Keith Alexander.
Keith, thank you for your wisdom and your intellect and your commentary this evening.
Keith's wrapping it up.
But there's still two hours forthcoming in the program tonight before it's all said and done.
And of course, you know, we do take an issue with the manifestation of political correctness or cultural Marxism, if you will, in the halls of our sanctuaries.
And we say this as practicing Christians, and this is a Christian program.
It is a paleoconservative program.
And this is a political show.
And I know we talked about this a little bit last week as well when Bill was covering the article.
But it was a follow-up that we needed to get into.
And the Christian faith is good enough as is.
If it was good enough for our fathers, if it was good enough for Charles Martel, it's good enough for us.
And it doesn't need to be watered down with political correctness that we see many of these large congregations practicing now.
And that being said, we're going to take a break and we're going to shift gears when we come back.
A lot more coming up tonight in the political festival.
Stay tuned, everybody.
And that folk got in revival.
They were jumping pews and shouting, Hallelujah.
Well, Harv hit the aisles dancing and screaming.
Some thought he had religion, others thought he had a demon.
And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his fruit and balloons.
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.
