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.
