Bradford on Kirk
I most recently mentioned Russell Kirk and his books about the origins of the American political order in this post. The Imaginative Conservative posts something by Mel Bradford that is relevant: A Proper Patrimony: Russell Kirk and America's Moral Genealogy, in which Bradford discusses Kirk's The Roots of American Order. Not that Obama or most Democrats care. Who can revitalize the Southern Democrats?
Conservative Heritage Times posts a letter by Dr. Michael Hill of the League of the South: The Poison of Multiculturalism. I was somewhat puzzled by his exclusive focus on white Americans, since I thought the LOS was open to black Southrons and was dedicated to defending traditional Southern culture as the common inheritance of Southern whites and blacks. (See the outreach from the Arkansas LOS.) The focus on whites is understandable in so far as Anglo-American culture was first the culture of white men, and multiculturalism seeks to eradicate its pre-eminence and simultaneously make white men almost personae non gratae in their own country. In the LOS FAQ it is stated:
As a result of the elite animosity towards average, middle American whites, it is acceptable to make "comedies" like The Watch and The Campaign, in which white men are mocked. Yes, there is a minority member in The Watch, but he seems to be more socially inept than anything, while Vince Vaughn's character is an obnoxious jerk and Jonah Hill's characters is a loser. (That's how they seem from the trailer, at least.) The four do become accidental heroes, but that doesn't make the set-up any less offensive.
Red Band
What was the last American comedy featuring white men who were not idiots and fools?
It's not surprising that the Ben Affleck movie, Argo, features mostly white faces as the story takes place during the '70s. Does the movie reflect a nostalgic love of the '70s in Hollywood? '70s chic? The '80s are tainted by Reagan and the rise of the yuppies.

In the LOS FAQ it is stated:
Q:Why does the LS seek to protect the Anglo-Celtic core population and culture of the historic South?
But should the letter be taken as signalling a shift in direction for the organization? Or is it just a protest against the attacks by radicals upon white America?
A: The Anglo-Celtic peoples settled the South and gave it its dominate culture and civilisation. We believe that the advancement of Anglo-Celtic culture and civilisation is vital in order to preserve our region as we know it. Should this core be destroyed or displaced the South would be made over in an alien image — unfamiliar and inhospitable to our children and grandchildren. We, as Anglo-Celtic Southerners, have a duty to protect that which our ancestors bequeathed to us. If we do not promote our interests then no one will do it for us.

Why shouldn't Americans read the Declaration of Independence?
WWWTW: July 4th: Reading the Delcaration
"On the 4th we celebrate our independence, and the birthday of our polity, the United States of America."
Polity? Or a group of polities, united at first only in their separation from Great Britain? After all, the Articles of Confederation were not approved by the Continental Congress until 1777 and ratified in 1781. It is precisely confusion like this about the states, their sovereignty, and the nature of the two federal governments that makes me wonder how useful reading the Declaration of Independence would be for most Uhmericans.
A bit early for Independence Day grumbling... but I may go see the fireworks this year!

Army opens combat positions to women
Men in the military are being thrown into the meat grinder, and when invariably bad incidents happen when men and women are thrown together in stressful (or boring) situations, men will be thrown under the bus. The Pentagon is a bunch of perfumed princesses seeking to appease the feminists in control. What more evidence do men in the military need that their leadership hates them? After all, if there is a serious lack of qualified men for these positions, then maybe we can make military service more popular by limiting imperial misadventures overseas. And if there isn't a lack of qualified men, then how can we justify their displacement by women in the name of facilitating their career advancement and a better representation of women in the military? What a joke. Soon any true patriot will have to avoid anything to do with the National Government, which does not serve the common good but actively seeks to subvert it for private interests.
