You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Welcome, everybody.
Radio Program, and welcome to Confederate History Month.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's Saturday, April 5th, and we kick off our annual salute to the South here on the Political Festival, the only mainstream talk radio program doing such a thing here in this contemptible day and age.
It's great to be with you tonight.
We're going to have a fun show.
The second hour of each broadcast during the month of April will be dedicated in service to Confederate History and Heritage Month.
But before we get to that, we've got much more to bring to your attention.
Of course, we were making news in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the major cities of the Confederacy, just last week over an interview we did in Confederate History Month from years prior with the former speaker of the state senate there in South Carolina.
He's currently the lieutenant governor of the Palmetto State.
Now, I saw this was written in response to that.
I asked myself, the person opines, why it's okay for the NAACP to be pro-black and dedicated to the advancement of colored people, but violent racist for the political festival to be pro-white.
The logic of leftists is so flawed.
These folks aren't as smart and educated as they think.
They should be pointed out that left-leaning thinkers, their assumptions are derived from ignorance and are always false.
It makes them appear foolish.
Well, certainly I share the sentiments of that writer.
And with that being said, you know, we are not alone anymore in talking about these issues.
WorldNet Daily wrote an excellent piece this week.
A nation's attempt to survive isn't racism.
I'd like to read just an excerpt from that.
This is what the writer has put on the paper with her pen.
It may surprise some Americans to learn that almost one quarter of people living in Switzerland are foreigners.
Even so, just over 50% voted last month to cap immigration, which unchecked could leave Indigenous Swiss a minority in 50 years.
This week's headline over the stories was typical.
Switzerland's sudden fear of immigrants, fear, immigrants.
The German publication Spiegel Online also wrote about fearmongering.
The Enlightened Readers' thought bubbles as now supposed to register the word racism, but was it really fear of immigrants that drove sufficient number of Swiss to the polls to check their own demographic extinction as a recognizable culture and nation state?
Or was it merely an instinct to survive as a recognizable culture and nation state?
And this writer goes on to put forth one of the most excellent pieces I've read in recent years.
And she's asking what happens when you take a state like California, where waves of mainly illegal aliens from Mexico have turned the population to nearly 40% Hispanic Latino.
In Los Angeles County, the figure jumps to 48%.
The next largest ethnic group is non-Hispanic white, whatever that is, 27%.
In 1960, not long before the writer was born, non-Hispanic whites were 82% of the county.
What you're looking at, she writes the World Net Daily, is population replacement, and it's taking place well inside the span of one lifetime.
Such population replacement is underway everywhere.
Non-similar blocs have become entrenched with or without amnesty.
But we, the people, have never voted for it.
Is it fear and scaremongering to point this out?
Is it racism to oppose a demographic obliteration of nations that are clearly underway?
So what this writer is doing, ladies and gentlemen, is the nation is saying, look, the Swiss people went and voted to maintain their cultural identity.
It's not racism or hatred or fear of other people to want to have a part of this world where your culture remains dominant.
And I'm going to talk it over with that to Keith Alexander.
But what I'm saying here, I think, Keith, is that the Political Festival can take credit in helping foster this debate.
You know, it wasn't two years ago where World Net Daily would have never touched issues like this.
And now they have, arguably, one of the greatest writers, or one of the most well-known writers, when it comes to black on white crime, under their employee, Colin 30, who's been a guest on this show.
The Political Festival, I think, can take credit for helping foster this debate.
We're not alone anymore.
This network, World Net Daily, and others are beginning to talk about this in a clear and concise way.
We rush in where angels fear to tread, right, James, I guess, or where wise men are, you fill it in, but nonetheless, we're blazing the trail.
What this needs to be said about this article primarily is this.
Every nation, Switzerland, the United States, has laws in place, which, if enforced, would prevent this racial and ethnic displacement of the native stock of the nation from occurring.
The problem is, all of our political elite are either intentional or go along get-along type globalists.
And as globalists, they don't believe in borders.
They don't believe in borders to separate people or to keep out goods or labor or anything else.
So consequently, they're not going to enforce the borders of Switzerland or the United States or England or you name the nation, particularly a white nation.
Now, non-white nations like Mexico are still allowed to defend their borders, and you never hear discouraging words in the press about the draconian penalties that would face some poor, hapless Guatemalan, for example, that stumbled across the Mexican border.
Look at Israel.
Look at Israel, too, Keith.
Oh, absolutely.
Well, Israel, of course, is the perfect example of, you know, a nation that maintains its ethnic and racial integrity.
But of course, we're supposed to never say a discouraging word about them, never point out the inconsistency between what the Jewish left in America does in the United States or recommend for the United States and what they tolerate and indeed encourage in the state of Israel.
Keith, if I could add to this, certainly one of the mainstream commentators that were talking about this, these issues long before we was Pat Buchanan.
Of course, from Pat Buchanan, we drew our own inspiration, at least I did, and I know you as well.
When I formed this show, I was a Buchanan, had worked for the Buchanan campaign previously, and wanted to carry on some of his ideas in any way that I could.
And certainly this show provided an outlet.
But he writes in a very recent column, I think two weeks ago, European Man is an Endangered Species.
This is, again, just a brief excerpt from Pat's incredible column, the century following the peaceful end of the Cold War and the liberation of the captive nations may witness population losses for Europe that exceed those of the two world wars combined and rival those of the Black Death.
European man is an endangered species, Pat writes.
He's dying out.
By 2050, Russia, the fourth most populous nation in 1950, will be 15th behind Egypt and far behind Congo and Tanzania.
The only Western nation in the top 14 in 2050 will be the USA, although most Americans by then will trace their ancestry back to Asia or Africa.
Since 1914, all the great European empires, the British, the French, German, Russian, Italian, have vanished.
All the great armies and navies have melted away, all are being invaded and repopulated by African, Asian, and Middle Eastern peoples they once ruled.
And almost all of the native-born populations of Europe are aging and dying and passing away.
Is this how the world will end?
ST.S. Eliot asked, not with the bang, but with the whimper.
Pat asked something that's a very serious question.
Do people of European descent want to live?
Should they live?
Do they deserve to live?
These are questions that we think deserve a frank hearing.
We give it to them here on the political festival.
These are questions that do not need to be dismissed with the accusation, false accusation of racism when it talks about does our children, do our children keep deserve to live.
We're going to be waiting for that when we come back.
We fought. We learned. We struggled.
Despite Obama's best efforts, the newspaper of the human resistance survives.
We have lived only to face a new nightmare, the war against the machines.
Read about our struggle in The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The Sovereign is a 24-page monthly tabloid newspaper about the war between man and machinery.
We've tried reason, we've tried legislation, we've tried every peaceful means imaginable, and all it's gotten us is shut out.
So now we fight the machines.
Order online today at thesovenews.com or find the sovereign at select newsstands.
Remember to read The Sovereign, newspaper of the resistance.
The human resistance's battle against the machines will be everlasting.
This is mercy.
It was never our destiny to stop the age of Obama.
It was merely to survive it.
Together.
Together.

Welcome back to the show.
For that last break, I was about to toss it over to my colleague, my compatriot Keith Alexander, to respond to Pat Buchanan's latest column, European Man as an Endangered Species.
And you know, Keith, this is one of the things we always get hammered on by left-wing, anti-Christian, anti-white hate groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center is that we dare to say in our statement of principles below the number one item is that we place our faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is that yes, we would like to see the white birth rate reach replacement level for fertility.
And they use that as the number one exhibit in the case to present how racist we are, that white people should survive.
Hat Buchanan thinks we should, I think we should.
Is it even mentioning that we ought to have the right to survive and that we are an endangered species or we'll shortly become one?
Is that racism now?
Well, the answer is a resounding no, of course.
Why should white people be denied equality with every other race?
Every other race is not only permitted but encouraged to have a strong sense of racial solidarity.
Only white Gentiles are denied this right by the politically correct.
And this incredible double standard, this incredible departure from equal treatment needs to be brought up and excoriated by whites whenever possible.
Yes, sir.
All right.
Well, I certainly couldn't agree with you more, Keith.
And to that end, or in addition to that, I would say that the same people that would call us all sorts of dirty names for mentioning that, you know, hey, we deserve a right on this earth as well, are the same people that are behind stories like this next one I'd like to present for your examination, folks, in Australia.
And this will happen soon here in America.
You just wait and get your bottom dollar.
In Australia, the Supreme Court of Australia has recognized a third gender.
You're not just a male or a female anymore.
There is a third gender according to Australia's top court.
In healthier times, these people would have received intensive therapy for such a mental illness.
But today, they are told that such sickness is not only normal, but a condition to be celebrated.
So here's a quick story.
I'll toss it over to Keith.
These are the people that people that would oppose us for such, having such righteous sentiments, are also, on the other hand, when they're not attacking decent people like us, are putting forth things like this.
Australia's High Court on Wednesday, this was last Wednesday, recognized the existence of a third nonspecific gender that is neither male nor female in a landmark ruling that campaigners said will end years of discrimination.
The High Court recognizes that a person may be neither male nor female and also permits the registration of a person's sex as nonspecific.
It's said in a unanimous judgment.
I'm overjoyed, activists said.
It's been a long time from start to the end, but this has been a great outcome.
People will understand now that there's more options than just the binary.
So while an individual might be male or female, they might be something more than that.
And it goes on from there, and it talks about how people who were neither male nor female have been discriminated against all these years.
And this will sound vaguely familiar, Keith, the Human Rights Law Center of Australia provided expert testimony in the case, and they said the court had, in its decision, rejected outdated notions of gender.
I mean, you know, Keith, what can you say to something so obviously ridiculous?
But it's not ridiculous because this is becoming law.
And through its spread via the media, it will become something that will have to be debated.
When otherwise, in a healthier society, you would just reject this outright.
Well, what it shows, James, is that our institutions like the law and the medical community are both totally corrupt now, totally in the thrall and under the thumb of political correctness.
You know, you've always been able to be both male and female.
They call those people hermaphrodites.
Now, what is this new third gender?
You know, I'm waiting with baby breath to find out exactly what this option is.
You're either one male or two female or three, a hermaphrodite, or four, maybe none of the above, a totally sexless person.
I can't think of any other options, but apparently we need to look to the Supreme Court of Australia for guidance.
They're made stranger than fiction.
They poured the mold, and they can dress it up with all they were willing double speak they can muster.
I don't think any decent person is going to buy into such nonsense, but as usual, the ruling elite is going to force perversion like this against the will of the majority.
And in the meantime, I might add, there's an equally obnoxious campaign taking place in Germany, of all places, Germany.
It advocates unisex restrooms, apparently to make transsexuals and other perverts happy.
And what's remarkable about this campaign is that it's being led in part and funded in part by the evangelical church of Germany.
The campaign is called One Door Is Enough.
And as we wrote on the blog, it seems all the time the West manages to reach new lows.
Well, when the church gets so totally corrupted that they basically mistake liberalism for righteousness or Christianity, then you know we're in the last days as far as I'm concerned.
This is the idea of liberal Christianity is an oxymoron.
It's like holy sin.
There's no such thing.
Liberalism is the enemy of every traditional religious faith, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, anything.
It is a separate religion, a religion of humanism.
And it is the enemy.
And any time you try to embrace the enemy, it reminds me of that old tale about the woman that found the freezing snake outside her door, picked it up, took it to her breast, and it bit her.
And it was a poisoned snake.
And as she was dying, she said, how could you do this to me?
And the snake said, silly woman, didn't you know I was a snake?
Well, that's what's going to happen to every religion that tries to embrace liberalism.
Liberalism will be revived, will bite the religion and kill the religion.
Well, Keith, I got one more for you, and that is the H-word.
Maybe you've heard of this, maybe you haven't.
But the newspaper of record has made it official that the word homosexual is now outdated and offensive, much like take a deep breath, the N-word is, or the word colored once was.
It's important that the listeners of political system be kept up to date on these matters.
So this is the New York Times.
To most ears, they write, it probably sounds inoffensive, a little outdated and clinical, but innocuous enough, homosexual.
But that five-syllable word has never been more loaded, more deliberately used, and to the ears of many gays and lesbians, more pejorative.
Homosexual has the ring of colored now in the way your grandmother might have used the term.
Some gay rights advocates have declared the term off-limits, homosexual cute.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, has put homosexual on its list of offensive terms and has persuaded the Associated Press, whose style book is widely used by many news organizations, to restrict use of the word homosexual, the new N-word.
Well, what it is, it's all well-ended news speak.
It is political correctness.
It is the most totalitarian, tyrannical system devised by modern man.
It is, you know, what this is showing you is that there's a real need for secession.
Red state America and any region of the world that is populated by clear-thinking, rational people needs to secede from places like New York and Blue State America, where this nonsense is taken seriously.
I don't want to take nonsense seriously.
I have enough trouble coping with reality as it is and to start jousing with windmills like the new definition of homosexuality.
I don't want to walk around that minefield.
I refuse to.
And, you know, we just need to, you know, ignore this, just like everything else we hear from the left.
We'll be back right after this, ladies and gentlemen.
Stay tuned.
We're just getting started tonight.
Cross the land.

The Occidental Quarterly fills a unique niche in bringing together scholarly articles on a wide range of topics that are mired in political correctness elsewhere.
It is edited by Professor Kevin McDonald, who's no stranger to listeners of the political cesspool.
There are quite a few reasons for the precarious state of our civilization and our people, but one of the main ones is that we have lost the intellectual and moral high ground to a cultural elite that is hostile to our people and our culture.
Those of us who are politically aware must understand that the elites dominating culture and the political process in the West are intellectually and morally bankrupt.

Don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, it's just 30 minutes time.
We're going to kick off Confederate History Month 2014 here on TPC.
You're not going to want to miss that.
Our debut guest for the Confederate History Month series this year will be Wilburn Sprayberry, who's making his first ever appearance on the show and on Confederate History Month no less.
So stay tuned for that.
We've got a great topic of conversation.
I tell you what, I'm looking forward to the second hour tonight, more than I can possibly tell you.
It's really going to be great.
And it's not just for Southerners.
We have a worldwide audience, an audience that grows each and every week, people all around the globe tuning in.
Confederate History Month isn't just for Southerners, folks, is it, Keith?
And I'll let you answer that question and then go in directly into one of the topics you wanted to bring forth tonight.
Now, I think that the whole world needs to empathize with the South and with Confederate sympathizers because it used to be common knowledge among foreigners, in other words, non-Americans, non-U.S. citizens, that the Confederacy was onto something.
For example, I remember watching those Yeti Westerns by Sergei Elone that starred Clint Eastwood.
In every one of those three, I think it was for a fistful of dollars for a few dollars more in the good, the bad, and the ugly, the Confederates were portrayed in a positive light.
That was typically the way Hollywood movies and foreign movies portrayed the South up until the Saints' Civil Rights Movement came on board.
Now, why were the Confederates portrayed in a positive light?
Well, the Confederates were the first group of people to defy the federal governmental leviathan of America.
We were the first people that tried to stop America from projecting itself and its power on other people, us, and other people like people in the Middle East, people in Europe, people in Asia that do not like the Jewish Zionist-run American government to impose its will upon them, look nostalgically at the South and say, wouldn't it be a different world if the South had won?
would have been an entirely different world, James, because if the South had won the Civil War, you'd have two countries that had half the wealth, half the number of people, half the natural resources, and half the power that the current United States has.
And as a result, neither of those countries would have been inclined to try to project itself as a power player in world affairs.
We would have been more like Australia rather than what the United States is.
In fact, I think that if the South had won the Civil War, there is absolutely no question in my mind that the United States of America would not have been involved in either World War I or World War II, James.
What do you think about that?
Well, Keith said that it certainly lends itself to interpretation.
We know the catastrophic effect that those two world wars had on our people and truly humanity itself.
Perhaps you're right.
I guess we'll never know because we were beaten.
Well, let's think about it.
Let's follow this thread to the end.
Let's look at World War I.
The United States got involved because of the meddling Woodrow Wilson, who would never have been elected president had it not been for the phenomenon of the solid South.
In other words, the South voting Democratic, they vote for a yellow dog as long as he was a Democrat.
And they just about got a yellow dog with the globalist Woodrow Wilson.
And when America got involved, they turned the tide of battle so that the Germans who were basically rolling to victory lost World War I.
We were pouring 250,000 new fresh troops into the Western Front every month in the year 1918, and that's what turned the tide of battle.
Germany had won on the Russian front.
They had won in Romania.
They'd won in Italy.
And they were destined to either defeat the French and the British or reach a negotiated peace, which probably would have been, at the very least, neutral and more probably favorable to Germany.
The German monarchy and aristocracy would have stayed in power.
We would never have heard of Adolf Hitler.
He would have been hoisting a stein at the local equivalent of a VFW post in Germany, toasting General Ludendorff, General Hindenburg, and the Kaiser, and never would have gotten involved in politics.
But meddling in the affairs of Europe basically upset the balance of power, and that upsetting led directly to World War II.
The vengeful French were able to dictate the terms at Versailles, and they had, quite frankly, their vengefulness is pretty understandable since four out of five Frenchmen between the ages of 18 and 25 had been killed in the war.
There was this interlude in history where French women got the reputation for being loose.
Well, they were looking for husbands because their normal husband supply had been seriously depleted by World War I.
And the French were vengeful, but they would have been defeated and powerless but for the United States intervention in World War I.
So, you know, and furthermore, there would have been no intervention in World War I if the United States had split in two in the Civil War and the Confederacy had become a separate nation.
The Confederacy followed much more closely than the new northern dominated federal government, the principles of the founders of the United States, like those of George Washington, who in his farewell address said that the clearest and surest way to destroy the Republic was to grant favorite nation status to any foreign nation.
Back then it was Britain.
or to engage in the fighting of foreign wars.
Now the South believed in that.
We wouldn't have gotten involved.
And I really don't think that the United States, the diminished northern United States that would have existed had the South prevailed in the Civil War, would have managed to make that type of a dent or cast that much influence into World War I. What do you think, James?
Keith, what you say certainly stands to reason, and I enjoyed your hypothesis immensely.
And as I was listening to you, I was thinking to myself, you know, what show of the political festival will you hear sensible ideas like this put forth?
And of course, as always, I draw a blank, but folks, you're getting a taste, I guess you could say, of Confederate History Month a might early here in the first hour, as I said at the top of the show.
The second hour of each and every broadcast during the month of April is going to be dedicated to the South and all things Confederate.
So stay tuned for that.
That's just a little teaser of some things you can expect.
And of course, we'll be diving into Confederate history itself, not what the world may have looked like if we had won by the actual people who made the history there for the South.
And it's going to be a fun four-week series here on the political festival.
But Keith, before we get into that, there was an article that caught your attention on the American Renaissance website this week.
If you can recall it from the top of your head, I'd like for you to explain to the audience why you thought it noteworthy.
Well, it was on Monday, and it was the first article, and it basically was a group of leftist educators, some group, bemoaning the fact that they are, you know, bound and determined to ignore under most circumstances, which is the academic talent differential between white and Asian students on one hand and black, Hispanic,
and American Indian students on the other.
They said, we've got to come to terms with the fact that there's this incredible gulf between the academic achievement of these two groups, whites and Asians on one hand and blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians on the other.
And of course, they didn't conclude that this is just Mother Nature at work and that different people have different talents.
No, something like that, you know, they're never willing to accept Mother Nature on our own terms, a reality on its own terms.
They said, we will spare nothing until we close this gap.
Well, folks, they have spared nothing, and they have done it for over 70 years now, and they keep coming up with the same results.
You just can't, you know, I think it was the Roman poet Horace who said, you can drive Mother Nature out with a pitchfork, but she always hastens back, Jay.
Well, Keith, I was at Jerry's Snow Cones earlier tonight before I drove down to the radio station with my family.
You know, Jerry's, of course.
And I was listening, the line's always long at Jerry's, it's a Memphis Institution.
And I was listening to a group of teenagers behind me talking about what they were studying in school.
And it was just, I'll tell you when we come back.
I'll tell you when we come back, folks.
Stay tuned.
This is a good story.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.

Well, I did, but now that I do, I'm not so sure.
Sir?
Johnson, I got a mission for you that could change your life.
Oh, good, sir.
It involves traveling halfway around the world without so much as half a clue of where you're going or what you're going to do when you get there.
Situation normal, sir?
But I'll be leading this mission, Johnson, so I'll be telling you what to do.
You, sir?
That's right, Johnson, and I say first things first.
Good plan, sir.
And what I say is first is food.
Always remember that, Johnson.
Food is a big deal.
Sir, my brother-in-law can get us a really good deal on some surplus MREs.
Johnson, if you've got half a brain and that empty head of yours, you'll call the freeze-dry guy like I did.
That food is better for you.
It rehydrates faster and it's good, Johnson.
And it keeps for up to 30 years.
Will we be gone that long, sir?
I hope not.

All right, everybody, welcome back.
James Edwards and Keith Alexander here on the Political Festival. Radio program, Keith was talking about an article.
I guess the basic premise of the article was that it was lamenting the fact that there is still no equality in terms of intelligence, that despite the billions of dollars the liberal do-gooters have pumped into bringing everyone to the same level, it just hasn't occurred yet.
So I guess now the process is if they can't make everybody as smart as one another, they can try to bring the smart people down to make everybody as dumb as each other.
And I got a glimpse of that tonight when I was in line at Snowcombe Place.
And the high schoolers behind me were talking, they're from the high schoolers, talking about, you know, what they had learned during Black History Month, which of course was in February and the projects they did to that extent.
One of the kids, not even old enough to smoke a cigarette, was talking about a report they had to write on the legalization of medical marijuana.
But nothing at all in terms of hard science, hard mathematics, anything that would actually help you succeed in life or in a career, just politically correct items being put forth as education.
Well, you know, politically correct education is basically worthless education.
And in the context of Confederate History Month and the Civil War, think about the panoply of black heroes in the antebellum American period that they keep throwing up to us as being exemplars that we should all, you know, worship and rever, such as Sojourner Truth or Harriet Tubman or Frederick Douglass.
They were just, you know, this is like trying to make a significant political hero out of this drunk we used to have in downtown Memphis called Dancing Jimmy.
Okay.
You know, Sojourner Truth was a seriously mentally ill person.
Okay.
Harriet Tubman was an inconsolable societal malcontent.
So was Frederick Douglass.
And they're trying to manufacture these people into being significant players and formers of opinion in antebellum America.
And I guarantee you, if you could get in the time machine and travel back to antebellum America, you would travel far and wide before you found anyone in the North or the South that had heard of any of these people, much less, you know, hung with baited breath to hear what their pronouncements were on the society of the day.
You know, it's crazy.
That was my point in bringing up the what I what I had seen today is that, you know, these people probably couldn't do long division or multiplication.
They can't name the capital of Tennessee or they don't know how many senators there are or who the vice president is or anything like this.
But I bet you they could write a long report on Frederick Douglass.
And by the way, you mentioned Frederick Douglass and some of these people, Harriet Tubman.
This is something that Wilbur Sprayber is going to be addressing with us during the next hour, how these people have become heroes.
And not just people like that, but true American terrorists like John Brown, how these people have become revered in contemporary history, in contemporary politics, while people like Robert E. Lee, probably the greatest Christian man, the greatest American Christian man that there ever was, has been denigrated as nothing more than just someone who fought to preserve slavery, which is preposterous.
And see, everything, that's the lynchpin for all this revisionist history that we're getting from the left.
The idea that the Civil War was all about slavery.
Of course, the historical record flies in the face of that notion.
But why let the truth get in the way of a good favor?
The left has to use the Civil War as a teaching tool to elevate non-whites and to degrade whites.
That's their secret agenda for everything they do.
And quite frankly, if you focus on the real causes of the Civil War rather than this invented cause, slavery, then it's no longer a teachable moment for the left.
Well, we're going to read in the second hour a quote that Robert E. Lee himself had about slavery.
But in talking about Lee and compared to some of these people who are now presented to us as American heroes and true American heroes like Lee and Davis and Jackson and Forrest, you know, have been just cast aside as garbage.
McClellan, you know, on none of these things, you know, there are people on both sides.
McClellan, for example, is vastly underappreciated today.
But he, unlike either U.S. Grant, Williams, Compass to Sherman, or Abraham Lincoln, was a noble man who minimized bloodshed.
And of course, with the pacifist leanings that the left professes to hold, you would think that McClellan would be held up as an exemplar.
Instead, he's nothing.
You know, all the union leaders that are held up for deification by the left are the most bloodthirsty and ruthless of the bunch.
You can call us live radio, folks, and that we're going unrehearsed tonight because we promised you we were going to contain Confederate history until the second hour so it doesn't take over the whole show.
Not that it could metastasizes itself as if it were a bad thing, but you can see our eagerness and perhaps a little jealousy.
There's little enough time to talk about it, and it is a key foundational element of understanding America today.
As William Faulkner said, the past isn't history.
It isn't even past.
And here's one thing I wanted to bring up, Keith, about Lee, though, before we, and this is actually going to save, make some more time for our guests this second hour.
We're getting through a couple of the things I wanted to present to open up a little more time for the things he might want to bring to the program.
But Robert E. Lee, I want you to think about this one thing, folks.
I mean, the only cadet to ever graduate West Point, the nation's premier military institution, without a single demerit, and he was a Christian man, if there ever was one.
But comparing him to politicians today, even like Rand Paul, Rand Paul has completely abandoned any principle he claimed to have had.
And now we see how he has said, I think, this week that the GOP should abandon the thought of deportation.
See, a guy like Selden Adelson, the Jewish fat cat who bankrolled both sides of the coin up there in D.C., you know, he's offered him enough money and people like him have offered Paul enough money.
He completely abandons his principles, but compared guys like Rand Paul, who some of our people would say is somebody worth considering a vote for, to Robert E. Lee, who was presented by Abraham Lincoln himself with the opportunity to command the Union Army.
He turned down the command of the Union Army to fight for his state of Virginia based on principle, knowing that he was probably going to a losing side.
But because it was the right thing to do, he turned down all the honor and power and glory that his position with the Union would have afforded him in terms of victory's stake.
And I tell you what, I get chilled even talking about that, Keith, because men of principle like that did not exist anymore.
Men like that.
Well, you know, it existed on both sides, too.
You know, I'm sure that if the federal government had proposed to invade Massachusetts, Daniel Webster would have sided with Massachusetts.
That's just the way antebellum Americans thought.
They thought that the states were paramount and were the source of sovereignty and that the federal government was secondary.
Unfortunately, it was Abraham Lincoln that turned the federal government into the Leviathan that it is today.
I'm telling you the truth.
I'm telling the audience to chill as I talk about that one instance of honor that Lee, and that was just one of any hundreds we could draw from, you know, people like Robert E. Lee, but literally chilled as I spoke came down my arm.
What happened?
And I asked this question rhetorically from time to time on the show, but what happened, Keith, to the nation that used to produce men like that?
Well, what's happened to the world that used to produce men like that, okay?
It's incredible.
Tell me.
What has happened to the world, quite frankly, is the rise of liberalism, the rise and triumph of liberalism, which has adulterated all of the accomplishments of Western man and is bringing us down, like you said, it's dumbing us down to the level of the third world.
And what's sad is that, you know, these kids that I saw today, we were talking, you know, we actually found a way to get back into this from your original topic at the top of this segment, which was, or the last segment rather, about how, you know, they haven't been able to bring everyone together in terms of intelligence and IQ and so on and so forth, but they can sure as held dumb people down.
And you know, these kids will never know who Robert E. Lee was.
If they even know his name at all, which is unlikely, they'll know him as a race.
As a racist, yeah, right.
He and, you know, see, this is heroes and villains.
And anybody that strikes a blow for white Gentiles is going to be vilified.
Anybody who does their best to undermine them is going to be deified.
But it doesn't even have to go to that because, I mean, certainly if you read some of the things that Lincoln said about blacks, who he was supposedly the great savior of, I mean, it was far more racist than anything we've ever said in our lives, you know, as far as the modern day definition of racism is concerned, of course.
But nevertheless, the case, the fact remains is that if we are the last people to defend the honor of people whose honor deserves to be defended, then we will be the last one.
There is one network that has a program that celebrates Confederate History Month on the mainstream AMSM airwaves.
And you're listening to it, folks.
And it's just another reason why this show is so worthy of support and why our work must be continued.
We only get to do this once a year.
You know, certainly every month is Confederate History Month, and every month we should revere these people who fought for their families and fought to defend their states.
As Jackson mentioned, the triumph of the North will be the triumph of federal tyranny and the banks and so on and so forth.
These people deserve commemoration 365 days a year.
But for one month of the year, we certainly make a point to go out of our way, not go out of our way, but to do it.
Well, we're the last of the Mohicans, James.
We're the last people finding a rear guard action.
But you know what?
It's the truth.
And you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.
That's what we believe here at the Political Cest Pool.
Now, it's interesting to know that Emmy Bradford was denied the headship of the National Endowment for Humanities for saying some things about Lincoln that were obviously true.
These negative things you're talking about is embracing and turned it to their advantage.
