> ONLY THE RIGHT ACCEPTS WOODEN NICKELS
> August 12, 2000
>
> Respectable conservatives allow liberals to be loyal only to the left,
> and to claim to be patriotic. As I pointed out on October 31, 1998, in
> FIVE WORDS AND EMMA LAZARUS, leftists wave the American flag and say
> that they are loyal to "all men are created equal" and open borders,
> but not to America or Americans.
> Respectable conservatives are always saying how patriotic their
> liberal opponents are. Not only is liberal flag-waving not patriotic,
> liberals insist that anyone who is loyal to America as a land or a
> people is anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews (See July 29, 2000,
> ANOTHER WRITER IS PROUD TO HAVE NO FEELING FOR HIS HOMELAND OR HIS
> PEOPLE).
> So when leftists wave the American flag it is absolutely meaningless,
> and conservatives are always grovelingly grateful to them for making
> even this token gesture. Liberal patriotism is a wooden nickel, and
> conservatives gobble it up.
> Liberals, however, will not accept such fake currency when a symbol is
> important to them. For example, when you saw the Mexican flag being
> used as a symbol of the leftist grape boycott, it is meant to
> represent the interests of MEXICANS.
> Likewise, when Mexican music was played and the first all-Spanish
> speech was spoken at the Republican Convention, it was not a
> meaningless token like Democrats waving the American flag. The media
> said over and over that they didn't want to be betrayed by Bush. They
> demand that this mean that Bush will do things for the PEOPLE OF THE
> REPUBLIC OF MEXICO.
> It means no more talk of protecting the US borders. It means no more
> English-only initiatives.
> When Colin Powell got up there, he did not ask for symbols, either. He
> said he wanted affirmative action from Bush. He said Bush was trying
> to enforce affirmative action in Texas universities despite the fact
> that the Federal courts had outlawed it.
> The crowd roared.
> Another fascinating thing that Powell demanded was that conservatives
> abandon any effort to reach out to any minority "leaders" who are not
> firmly liberal. He said that today's black leadership, which is owned
> outright by the left, is the "real" leadership of the black community.
> Republicans, he said, must only deal with these NAACP types.
> CNN had talks with a group of "typical American voters." Most of the
> questions were aimed at the two black members of the tiny panel. They
> asked what these gentlemen wanted if they were to vote Republican. One
> said "affirmative action." The other said he might consider voting
> Republican if Republican Senators would confirm the Federal judges
> appointed by Clinton and blocked by the Senate.
> Naturally CNN did not ask why your average American voter --
> especially one who might vote Republican -- would just happen to be
> solely interested, not in education or taxes, but in the quick
> approval of Democratic judges. But that is not my point. My point is
> that both blacks, with perfect predictability, wanted specific liberal
> policies.
> If you wave a Mexican flag at the left, you had better give something
> Americans have to Mexicans. If you talk about blacks, you had better
> be ready to give something white people have to blacks.
> The left wants American jobs for Mexicans. They want university slots
> and jobs for blacks in place of more qualified whites.
> They also accept hard cash.
> By contrast, the right will take liberal flag waving and other wooden
> nickels and cry with gratitude. Those wimps wouldn't last five minutes
> in the hard left.

> PROPERTY RIGHTS AND LEFT WING ARTISTS
> August 12, 2000
>
> Hollywood is very worried about computer sites that give away music
> without paying for the copyrights. Right now it's music, but as
> technology advances, it will be easier and easier to reproduce and
> send
> everything on the net that Hollywood puts out. So the same Hollywood
> money machine that pours out money against everybody else's property
> rights now has its own rights threatened by technology.
> Sometimes there IS poetic justice. I am very much a free market type,
> but that is my academic and economic side. But I am also a thoroughly
> political creature, and when liberals get torn up by the leftist
> institutions they built and they promote, I go from being a reserved
> intellectual ex-professor to a happy, vengeful Pontiac, South Carolina
> redneck.
> (For proof, see the May 7, 2000 article - MICROSOFT CASE: A LIBERAL
> GETS MUGGED).
> To show that other serious political beings think exactly the same way
> that I do, I point to a recent congressional action on our trade
> treaty with China. Suddenly, LIBERAL senators and congressmen were
> loudly demanding that AMERICAN RIGHTS be protected and AMERICAN
> SOVEREIGNTY be respected. I checked to see if there were any
> hallucinogens in my food.
> I read on, and the explanation of this unliberal behavior became
> clear. All this sovereignty and defense of property rights had to do
> with COPYRIGHTS! China was selling videotapes and CDs of HOLLYWOOD
> output. Suddenly, property rights were sacred to the liberals. Unlike
> respectable conservatives, liberals are deadly serious about their
> politics. When THEIR side's property rights are threatened, they turn
> on a dime.
> If only this had happened in the 1960s, even the respectable
> conservatives would have been FORCED to talk about liberal hypocrisy!
> That was when all the folk-singing lefties made millions on their
> albums as they spoke of how unimportant wealth was to True Idealists
> like themselves.
> One 60s leftist hero, Abbie Hoffman, wrote a book called "Steal This
> Book!" Naturally, his leftist fans bought the book, and he never
> turned down a dime's worth of royalties. As a result of this and other
> profitable activism, Hoffman never had to do a day's work. Exactly
> like Marx and Engels, exactly like Lenin and Trotsky, he got to praise
> the virtues of the working class and thereby avoid doing any work
> himself.
> Back in the 1960s, this kind of sudden threat from technology to the
> property rights of the lefties would have been really hilarious. After
> all that idealistic talk, we could have watched them out there suing
> for their money the way leftist "artists" are doing now.
> The leftist Time-Warner crowd is in on today's lawsuits. Meanwhile,
> they say they are for minorities and foreigners against other people's
> property rights. But no respectable conservative will ever bring this
> up.
> I can guarantee you that every politician who cashes Barbra
> Streisand's political contribution checks is going to battle for her
> royalty rights harder than any Texas congressman ever did for the oil
> business. Can you imagine a liberal allowing government regulations to
> hold down the price of Hollywood movie tickets the way the Federal
> government held down the price of Southern oil for decades (July 8,
> OIL AND HATING SOUTHERNERS)?
> So while all the respectable conservatives are crying for poor,
> persecuted little Bill Gates and the property rights of Hollywood, I
> am having a good, loud, knee-slapping laugh.
