the lie of multiculturalism

SO, I thought that I would vent, let people know that I am still alive, and remark upon some recent events

Specifically, I would like to address Barry Obama's recent remarks on people "clinging to their guns" when things aren't going well. First off, I shall paint a picture of the circumstances that this was discussed in the doc Russia household. I was sitting on the couch with Domestic-6 at my side, which is like heaven itself. Domestic-6 and I have a long history with communism. No, we are not communists, far from it. We have, however, had a long family feud with communists. My great grandparents were Jews who snuck out of some peasant farm near Minsk after the Bolsheviks took over. D-6's family is made  up of people who opposed the Bolshevik revolution. Actually, she also had relatives who supported it, but she is not a descendant of them because of their fate. The half of her family that opposed the revolution had all of their stuff seized by the state, and then they were exiled to the southern republics. lest they get the idea that they might come back into affluence, and stir up trouble. The side of her family that supported the revolution did fairly well right up until the time that their success was coveted by Stalin, and then they ended up in the gulags and disappeared. As a side note, this goes to show that sometimes, when you try to appease an alligator, you are not, in fact, eaten last. The exiled ones eventual did well after being bled dry by Hitler and Stalin. Thoroughly disgusted by commie bastards, and realizing that it was the only way to be able to listen to the Beatles without fear of government reprisals, my father in law, who I admire and love decided to make an enourmous gamble, and move three generations of his family to America. There was no job or promise awaiting him on our side of the world, he just followed the idea that fortune favors the bold. My dear wife, sixteen at the time, vividly remembers empty shelves of bread, rampant fraud and nepotism. She, herself was a rising star in the young pioneers, and was on the fast track for acceptance into the komsomolyets, the feeder system for the communist party. So, she has lived under the tyranny of communism, and while she misses the comraderie that such strife bred, her visceral hate of communism, and all communism in other guises would shock Joe McCarthy. Personally, I have seen with my own eyes the bloody and brutal hand of communism at work in the world, and the memories of it haunt me to this day.

In other words, while others may wax philosophic about the whole "brotherhood of man" and other such beautiful lies, we know communism, and while I shall notr speak for her, for myself I will say that it is a fate to be resisted by all means available, even death itself.

So, while Obama is on the teevee talking in necessarily vague terms about class warfare, and proletariat small town strife at the hands of the burgeousie rich, my lovely wife bursts out "He's a Fu&]<ing communist!."  When I responded that he wasn't *really* a communist, just a very hard core socialist (which is communism lite), I was treated to a stream of Russian profanities that meant.... well, I am not sure what they meant, but the walls started to change colors. Okay, maybe he is a communist. In fact, I am sure of it.

His remarks also expose the false promise of multiculturalism. Nevermind that he made gun owners out to be a bunch of hillbilly racist bible-thumping morons. Never mind that people who own guns are bitter only because people want to take them away. Never mind that Hillary is trying to stake out the I am not anti-gun because I support some form of hunting. Never mind that they both totally missed the mark. They are, after all successful democrats, and as such are completely out of touch with the reality of gun owners, and the fact that most people buy guns to protect themselves or because they *GASP!* just like to shoot them. The thing that pisses me off is this idea that, as one of my colleagues told me "there is room here for everyone." This is the great promise of multiculturalism. That we will respect people who are different from us, and that will make us better. That's right; all cultures have a place.

...except for the southern culture.

Black liberation theology? A valid and precious system of beliefs where whites are the root of all evil, and any blacks who believe otherwise are traitors. The Reconquista? Another venerated belief where the white man stole Texas, Arizona, California, and New Mexico from the Mexicans. Vegans and ELF? these are gentle souled people who are in touch with mother earth, not just a bunch of self- obsessed anarchists who we are unwilling to allow to rejoin the food chain at their rightful and desired place where I feed them to my dog. Why, according to multiculturalism, we have to respect these other belief systems, and enshrine all cultures in some sort of protection. But the southern culture? Well you can just piss all over that all you want.

For some reason, multiculturalism doesn't apply to *my* culture.

My culture judges a man by the content of his character not the color of his skin, which is why quotas are so hateful.

My culture believes that a man has a right to the fruits of his own labors, and he may feast or famine dependant upon how fat or hungry he wishes to be, which is why taxing the food out of my mouth and giving it to the lazy bum who cannot or will not take care of themselves pisses me off.

My culture believes that men should behave as gentlemen, and women should behave as ladies, which is why watching girls in Florida luring another girl into a beatdown while the men do not protect her is so offensive.

My culture believes that government is a necessary evil that should only do those things that the private citizens cannot, which is why our blood boils when the blue ribbon panel's solution to the staggering failure of FEMA in the wake of Katrina is to... wait for it... give them more power and a bigger budget.

My culture believes that a man's faith is between him and his God, and as long as it doesn't involve sacrificing puppies or molesting children, you  can pretty much believe in whatever diety you like, but we also get pissed off when people try to enforce state supported atheism by obliterating any reference to any faith, and call believers backwards yokels.

My culture is being assaulted by multiculturalism, socialism, communism, islamic fundamentalism and a whole host of other "isms."

My culture believes that the individual is the first, last, and greatest defense against the "isms" of the world, and that he can, and should avail himself of every tool in the prosecution of this defense, from soap box, to ballot box, to ammunition box.

This culture is mine. This I shall defend.
