NOVAE MILITIAE

Yeah, maybe.  You're not alone, however, Mr. Nifong.  Our whole system of justice has gone askew, and breeds such zealotry.  There is a throng of snot-nosed associates, lidless-eyed partners, and black-robed philosopher-kings here in America who, inebriated by their own sense of power, have also gotten carried away and continue to get carried away.  The result is the utter perversion of justice, and the American people are not going to long stand for it.   The day is coming, and now is, when they will all be "carried away" in a different sense.

Czech president Vaclav Klaus understands that the global warming hysteria is being propagated in order to facilitate a greenie/socialist power grab.  He is an eloquent witness for reason and liberty.  Someone give that man lots of armaments.

Reading Aaron Hanscom's account of the Collapse of Europe conference in Malibu, I couldn't help but be impressed by the bravery of the participants calling for the assimilation of Muslim immigrants and an end to government-sponsored multiculturalism. These are the kind of milquetoast platitudes one would expect to hear at a New Labour party conference in the UK. Calling for an end to multiculturalism is something even non-insane liberals do now. What part of Stop Muslim Immigration Now don't you people get?

I'm sure that writers like you, Pipes and especially Ayaan Hirsi Ali take enormous risks rightfully criticizing Islam, so why not criticize Muslim immigration? Because then the Muzzies will get real mad?

Of course our dhimmi courts would disallow discriminating against Muslim immigration, no doubt citing racism. So then the only solution is to ban all immigration, leaving the Religion of Peace responsible for millions of Chinese, Indians, Africans and Latin Americans never making it to the promised land of the West. Tom Tancredo has proposed a three year moratorium on all immigration except immediate family and genuine refugees. This is a great idea, but how did a Republican presidential candidate get so far ahead of virtually the entire "conservative" commentariat? In my own humble, mostly blue-collar circle, pro-immigration sentiment does not exist even among immigrants. I have never met a non-Muslim who thinks Muslim immigration was a good thing or wants to see more of it. But I guess that my moronic milieu, stuck as we are on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder, should trust our betters when they tell us immigration brings diversity, and diversity is a Good Thing.

Western civilization is a 2500 year-old amalgamation of Greco-Roman philosophy and law, Judeo-Christian ethics and morality, and the scientific rationalism of the Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment. It began in Europe, and was eventually carried by Europeans to every corner of the world. In retreat since WWII it is now confined to its home continent plus the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is everywhere terminally threatened, partly from left-liberalism at home and partly from third world immigration from abroad.

Mark, you were kind enough to inscribe my copy of America Alone with the words "Let's win this thing!" That's perfect. But this war begins and ends at home and right now we are losing, badly. Immigration restrictionism is a movement whose time has come. I believe there is a veritable army of peasants like me spread throughout the Western world, mostly quiet but utterly determined to stop Muslim immigration, for starters. But right now there are too many Indians and not enough Chiefs. We need leaders. We have a field marshall in Tancredo, and intelligent, articulate generals like Pat Buchanan, Lawrence Auster, Steve Sailer and Peter Brimelow (who, by the way, wrote the best book ever about Canada, The Patriot Game). But we need other intellectuals like Robert Spencer, Melanie Phillips and yourself who have enlightened millions about the nefarious nature of Islam to take the next logical step and call for a ban on Muslim immigration to Western nations. I know it's easy for a nobody like me to tell you to put your career on the line in these politically correct times, but hey, let's win this thing!

I was poking around the mag's web site earlier today, reading some of the recently-posted material.  I found this one by Clyde N. Wilson most intriguing:

http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/?p=140#more-140

Of special interest to me is this comment of Robert M. Peters, as it echoes what I say here on this blog (and what more and more traditionalist, republican thinkers are openly saying):

For those of us out here in the backwater, in the nooks and crannies on the fringes of post-modernity and the madness of the imperial world, we had best be about creating and nourishing enclaves, safe havens, independent institutions in which the ideas and notions of that can sustain our ancient rights of life, of liberty and of property can grow and flourish. Beyond that, it is a waiting game. This empire will one day collapse; it will fall and will pass onto the rubbish heap of history. When it does, a host, yea a legion, of passions will march forth to claim its place, most of them being over the long run more dangerous than the monster which they would replace. That will be the time, if we have properly nourished the ideas and equipped ourselves with spiritual and moral courage, in which we might venture forth and plant the hope of Cato’s Republic once again. However - and if you catch the thought, it is not negative at all - Cato’s Republic, the Old Republic of which many of us so fondly speak, and any new one which we or our heirs might one day have the privilege of founding are all but mere foreshadowings, sweet and desirable as they may be, of that ultimate Republic which is a Kingdom that is coming but which has not yet fully shown itself.

Thus, we are to run the portion of the race that is given unto us; and ours seems no little dark and rough, although there have been much darker and much rougher; yet, if we run our portion well, victory, most likely well beyond our lifetimes is assured; for the prayer and promise is in the Latin ablative absolute: DEO VINDICE - God having already vindicated - done in eternity before time and space catch up with it.

With such ultimate hope, let us be - despite the fears, dangers, and disillusionment both within us and around us - about the task with courage and resolution.

Seen in that light, I will support Ron Paul regardless of the outcome of the election; for who, save for Providence, knows what roll he plays in this matter. I do not deign to know the mind of Providence nor the outcome before I do my duty as I am led to understand it in a given matter.

Thanks Dr. Wilson for the stimulating thought and the opportunity for discussion.

Well put, Mr. Peters.  And yes, thank you Dr. Wilson.

Then this response from The Distributist Review blogger  Roy F. Moore:

If, as Dr. Fleming says, the Republicans will have it in for Dr. Paul, then the Republicans will have to be legally smashed to pieces, precinct by precinct. No prisoners taken, so to speak, until the party is legally destroyed.

Then we get the Democrats next, and in the same way.

This is pretty much what I've been predicting: first the Republicans will self-destruct (maybe as early as 2008), followed by the Democrats.  It's only a matter of time.  And their passing will not be mourned.

From a constitutional lawyer's blog:

Government playing with courts is a common game. I was once in a meeting with Solicitor General types, where they proclaimed their goal was not to protect clients' interests (as I, poor munchkin, was doing) but to "guide the evolution of caselaw."

Damn them to hell. Do they actually believe that the American people will forever suffer their attempts to make case law "evolve, their "living constitutions", and the like?  What they are doing is undermining constitutional government, plain and simple.  Which is why the quote from Henry VI, despite the way it is most often quoted out of context, is so apropo.  The American judiciary, infested by liberal activist lawyers and judges, has become more a faciltator of social and political change than an agent of justice committed to ideological aloofness.  Thankfully, more and more of the American people are becoming cognizant of what they're up to, and eventually they'll put a stop to it.
