"[H]atred of roots and of certainty is basic to revolutionary activity… True communion for this faith [humanism] means that good and evil are denied validity as objective moral standards, and all men must be received into communion as gods without any regard to their moral status. Thus, a ‘Litany’ popular in these circles identifies ‘God’ with the city, with the ’spick, black nigger, bastard, Buddhahead, and kike,’ with ‘all men,’ and calls for communion with all men as they are… This concept runs deeply through the so-called Civil Rights Revolution… But this total communion without law, communion beyond good and evil, militates against everything in man. No society has ever existed without class and caste lines. The more social distinctions are denied, the more force is required in society to bring men together, and the more force prevails in society, the less the communion." ~ R.J. Rushdoony, The Foundations of Social Order, p. 17, 159

Thus the neo-Babelist and pluralist and moral relativist seeks a "brotherhood" of man by gathering all of them beneath his big tent and discovers, to his consternation, that he has created chaos rather than consanguinity. Such was the case with Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority. Falwell is remembered for inspiring "people of faith" with "traditional values" to involve themselves in politics to accomplish one or two limited tasks. But was it abortion that propelled Falwell and the evangelicals into political activism? No, it was race! (This is one of the most fascinating articles you’ll ever read.) "Falwell launched on the warpath against civil rights four years after the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision to desegregate public schools with a sermon titled ‘Segregation or Integration: Which?’ ‘If Chief Justice Warren and his associates had known God’s word and had desired to do the Lord’s will, I am quite confident that the 1954 decision would never have been made,’ Falwell boomed from above his congregation in Lynchburg. ‘The facilities should be separate. When God has drawn a line of distinction, we should not attempt to cross that line.’ Falwell’s jeremiad continued: ‘The true Negro does not want integration… He realizes his potential is far better among his own race.’ Falwell went on to announce that integration ‘will destroy our race eventually. In one northern city,’ he warned, ‘a pastor friend of mine tells me that a couple of opposite race live next door to his church as man and wife.’ As pressure from the civil rights movement built during the early 1960s, and President Lyndon Johnson introduced sweeping civil rights legislation, Falwell grew increasingly conspiratorial. He enlisted with J. Edgar Hoover to distribute FBI manufactured propaganda against the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and publicly denounced the 1964 Civil Rights Act as ‘civil wrongs.’ In a 1964 sermon, ‘Ministers and Marchers,’ Falwell attacked King as a Communist subversive."

Well, it’s not hard to understand what made Falwell popular, is it? "But most people have forgotten that it wasn’t abortion and gay rights that really got Christians active in politics. It was because the IRS was threatening to remove the tax exempt status from ‘Christian’ schools in the southern US because they were founded to maintain racial segregation. Falwell started his own Christian school in 1966, and when the local paper wrote about it opening, they said it was ‘a private school for white students.’ While abortion clinics sprung up across the United States during the early 1970s, evangelicals did little. No pastors invoked the Dred Scott decision to undermine the legal justification for abortion. There were no clinic blockades, no passionate cries to liberate the ‘pre-born.’ For Falwell and his allies, the true impetus for political action came when the Supreme Court ruled in Green v. Connally to revoke the tax-exempt status of racially discriminatory private schools in 1971. At about the same time, the Internal Revenue Service moved to revoke the tax-exempt status of Bob Jones University, which forbade interracial dating. (Blacks were denied entry until 1971.) Falwell was furious, complaining, ‘In some states it’s easier to open a massage parlor than to open a Christian school.’"

Are you people following this? It wasn’t abortion that created the "Christian Right," it was forced integration! That’s why so many Christians left the public schools and entered church schools, just like Falwell’s. Next came the homeschooling movement, and as we all know, homeschoolers are the ultimate segregationists. Paul Weyrich channelled this racial anger into an electoral bloc for the Gay Orgy Party. And what do these intellectually schizophrenic evangelicals have to show for it? Nothing, because like Falwell, they sold their souls to Hymie Lipschitz for a few matzo balls. Now, listen to me very carefully. If such stalwart defenders of the gospel in the 1950s, with over 95% of Whites in support of them, not only utterly caved on a matter affecting the survival of their people but rewrote their own history to cover the truth, just what in the hell do you think is going to stand in the way of imperial edicts legalizing sodomy? Do you think the weasels in our pulpits, who can barely stay in business now because our pathetic churches are even more decimated than our race, are going to get serious at this late hour about standing for truth and justice? This is why we have always said that the game was lost as soon as churches acquiesced to miscegenation. Racial and sexual perversions pave the way for more racial and sexual perversions.

"An essential part of our heritage is becoming Negroized. Tin-Tin in Africa is banned from sale in the U.S., and Doctor Dolittle is rewritten to appease blacks. Howard Pyle’s fairy tales are rewritten with black rather than white characters, the musical version of Oliver Twist has a black Oliver, A Christmas Carol gets an all-black cast, Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour Lost has interracial couples, and the list goes on… There can only be an equality in barbarism, because there is no value in barbarism." Speaking of superiority, is there a better blog than CWNY?

The theme of CWNY is what you might call the poetry of kinship. In the same way that dexterity in an art is not truly education, the patria is never to be reduced to the political and ideological. Just as prose can be translated from one language to another but poetry cannot and still retain its beauty, the peculiarity of our people under heaven can never be transferred to another. We are irreplaceable. This is not "glorifying the flesh," as neo-Babelists accuse us of doing, but instead the recognition that we are saved unto good works, and it is hard to imagine a better work than providing a future for our own children. Just as T.S. Eliot loses his perfection when translated to Swahili, your grandchildren lose their loveliness and the connection to their own history when they are translated to Swahili.

A quote from former Secretary of Education Robert Reich: "If parents can control every aspect of the kids’ education, shield them from exposure to things that the parents deem sinful or objectionable, screen in only things which accord with their convictions, and not allow them exposure to the world of democracy, well the children grow up then basically in the image of their parents, servile to their own parents’ beliefs."

"Masculinity means only one thing now – aggressiveness, and it is permitted and admired only when it appears in the female. And femininity means only one thing now – passivity, and it is permitted only when it appears in the male." This world of ours has been turned upside down. The anti-Christ is considered superior to the Christian. The mongrel is considered superior to the covenant child. Perverse sexual appetites are considered superior to love. Death is adored and life is despised.

"[Jimmy Swaggart's sermon] Are the Jews practicing blasphemy? begins by assuring his audience that they are not, by recalling Jesus’ bar mitzvah, and by insisting the Christians owe the Jews a considerable debt. It ends with his indicating that with the loss of their temple in biblical times, the Jews have somehow lost their way. His message suggests that they are rather to be pitied than despised but that, in any case, many of them are pretty nice people." ~ Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death

And to the right of Swaggart we have characters like Steve Schlissel, who argues here that Christians should tolerate Jewish and Muslim idolatry in their land. This is Reconstructionism? Maryland in 1723 had this instant solution to the Jewish Question: "if any person shall hereafter within this province…deny our Savior Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, or shall deny the Holy Trinity, he shall, for the first offense, be fined and have his tongue bored; for the second, fined and have his head burned; for the third, put to death." How does that grab you, Steve? Not tolerant enough for ya?
