SAME STRUGGLE, DIFFERENT FRONTS

Two years ago the Boston Housing authority suggested that the Shamrock was “offensive.” In December 2001, the town of Kensington, Maryland decided to ban Santa Claus from their “Holiday Tree” lighting ceremony because he was “too Christian.” Following the outpouring of patriotic fervor following the September 11th terrorist attacks, Amherst, Massachusetts attempted to ban the display of American flags. Recently a high school principal in Pennsylvania equated a pro-life T-shirt to a swastika. When it was proposed that the photograph of three New York firemen raising the flag at the World Trade Center be used as the model for a statue commemorating the heroism of the NY Fire Department, the plan was to change the racial makeup of the firemen because they were “not diverse enough.” The invasion by Millions of illegal aliens. Attempts to destroy The Boy Scouts. The harassment of homeschoolers. Gun control.

What does any of this have to do with the Southern Movement you may ask? These examples are meant to illustrate that the war on the Confederate flag and Southern history is not unique, but can be described as the “Southern Front in the War on America.” Those leading the attack are often described as Cultural Marxists, and their hatred of Western Civilization in general, and traditional America in particular, is every bit as fanatical as the hatred of the West by Al Qaeda. The goal of these Cultural Marxists is nothing short of the de-Americanization of America by means of massive illegal immigration, and the deliberate and systematic destruction of every institution in traditional America. Like an army of voracious termites, they have been gnawing away at the very foundations of the country for half a century, and total collapse is not far off. Whether it is the incidents and issues noted earlier or the attempts to “normalize” every type of deviant behavior and bring it into the "mainstream", or the fanatical attempts to banish the Ten Commandments form public view, the reducing of English to just one language among many, or the imposition of thought crime laws under the guise of "hate crime" laws where a person like Janice Barton can be arrested for something she said in a private conversation, the Cultural Marxists and their various front organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, American Civil Liberties Union, and the NAACP are waging a continuous war across a broad front against all aspects of American society. 

The full fury of the Cultural Marxists is felt most keenly in the South as she is viewed as the last regional bastion of the much hated traditional America. After all, it is the South that is described as the Bible Belt. The South is the also the most heavily armed part of the country, and where there is still a large pool of people who know, respect and revere their history, it also has the highest rate of home schooling, all of which make it a prime target for those who hate America.

Thirty years ago an organization called the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine distributed a poster proclaiming, “Viet Nam to Palestine, Same Struggle, Different Fronts.” The Southern Movement could rightly distribute a poster proclaiming, “From the Confederate Flag, to the 10 Commandments, Same Struggle, Different Fronts.” The wild success of the Cultural Marxists is due to the fact that their opposition is fragmented, and often has allowed themselves to be manipulated into opposing those who should be their allies. Those working for immigration control, or the preservation of Southern history are branded “racists,” or “haters.” Those opposed to the diminution of Christianity in America are called “religious fanatics,” those opposed to special “rights” for homosexuals are call “homophobes.” All of us that are opposed to this program of de-Americanization are citizens of what has been called the “shadow nation.” It is time that those groping in the shadows find each other, and make common cause. We can no longer afford to look at each issue individually with its own solution, there is only one solution. We in the Southern Movement must start working with those that are working in different areas of concern, and all must work incessantly for the defeat in detail of the Cultural Marxist. 

Vladimir Lenin once said, “Probe with bayonets. If you encounter steel, withdraw. If you encounter mush, continue.” It is time that all those that are resisting the destruction wrought by the enemy to stand together, and when the Cultural Marxists probe with their bayonets of hatred and lies, let them find steel instead of the mush that they have been finding up to this point.
