Ron Paul's recent statement expressing guarded hope in the Obama administration ( freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/re...cgi?ArtNum=90581&Disp=All )and that we are stronger for "embracing diversity" has been met with some disappointment among Euro-American activists. Diversity as virtue is essentially the idea that we'll all get along better the less we have in common. Virtues like these often spring up when the elephant in the room, as bad as he is for the china hutch, just isn't going away anytime soon. May as well elevate its presence to a household Staatsräson before one's wife complains. The reality is that a surprising majority of conservatives, both 'neo' and 'paleo,' believes that the US was better off for being more homogenous and naturally for being of the industrious and inventive stock to emerge from the European ice age (even if it does include the increasing proportion of sub-par European stock that has thrived thanks to the genius that emerged from that crucial period). Just last year, white Americans showed unmistakably that race matters; if the immigrants for whom amnesty was being passed were from Norway, there would have been no issue. It's worth recalling that Ron Paul has been absolutely firm in his very uncompromising and un-libertarian position on this matter. But these conservatives are not radicals. They don't see an inevitable Balkanization of the US on the horizon, much less the historically realistic prospect of mutually beneficial repatriation under economic mandate. The question they would pose to persistent critics of diversity is simply, "They're here. What do you suggest we do with them?" I personally was shocked by the Ron Paul phenomenon. I stopped by an RP meetup in possibly the most liberal urban neighborhood in this country. When I arrived, the large group was sitting around a backyard patio discussing, among other things, the case of Ernst Zündel. That was stunning enough, but more so considering the the eclectic nature of the group discussing it. In addition to the dozen or so clean-cut white males were some intemperately tattooed anarchists, a black woman, an East Indian, several Asians and other clearly disillusioned liberals. Against my own intentions, I eventually lapsed into a monologue of taboo speech and had everybody mesmerized. There was overwhelming agreement with what I said, and folks from left field were clearly lately experiencing the major internal shakeup of seeing the world differently than they ever thought they would. Such turnouts of such a range of Americans surely surprised Ron Paul. He said so himself. I believe "diversity" was a poor word choice in his recent statement. In its American context, the word is charged with a stagnating buzz of stupidity. The genuine and sadly disappearing diversity that makes foreign travel and cross-cultural study so rewarding is hardly served by figuratively dumping the Forest Green, Candy-Apple Red, and Blaze Orange paints into one bucket to form Puke Grey, and Paul knows it. But I suppose that in his mind, these people are here... if they're here legally, and clearly many of them are capable and intelligent, we are stronger just accepting it and move forward. As we know, it's not that simple. Firstly, the existence of intelligent and capable fellows with Obama's appearance does little to mitigate the hidden reality of relentless and brutal violence European Americans suffer at the hands of certain groups. Secondly, even if there were no other groups in whom violent tendencies and disappointing intelligence or lack of foresight were disastrously concentrated, our mere differences of culture, background, and biological appearance would still pose a major barrier to any "accepting it" and moving forward as one people. Racial identity is instinctive. Humans socially cluster by appearance. The racial voting blocks of all other groups illustrate this. And that leads to my final point. America is no less racist or race-conscious for having elected Obama. They didn't vote black, they voted Democrat. In nominating Obama, the Democrats, including some racist whites, didn't vote black, they voted gimmick. Like the nonwhite/liberal majority of California when choosing between a Democrat who serves them and the Terminator who despises them, they voted for something neat and new. Hillary may be a woman, but she is not neat and nothing new. She virtually already was president. Bor-ing! If a woman other than Hillary had run, that neatness and newness would have sufficed and trumped Obama the Unsavory Racist Radical. In late 2003, six months after a year of massive protest and negative attention to the Neocon Bush Administration, an apparent success in Iraq earned W a 90% approval rating. That's how fickle we are. But following eight years of listening to this talentless puppet pronounce it "nookyaler," a war turned more depressing and hopeless than exciting or patriotic, an economy in ruins, and the Republican nomination of a proudly liberal candidate as charismatic and reasonable as the rotten corpse he resembles, a small portion of whites switched their votes from Republican to Democrat. A small portion of Republicans abstained from voting or voted third party to protest the nomination. Nonwhites turned out in record numbers to vote against the majority race they resent. And Americans in general chose a boyish, harmless face on an articulate figurehead with acting talent and one heck of a gimmick. Republicans, Ron Paul, and even some Euro-American activists are finding it hard not to be swept up in the neatness of it all, the sense that the direction in which we've been being pushed since WWII is irresistible, that racial equality has triumphed and that the relevance of white identity politics has breathed its final gasp. But gimmicks tend to take a back seat to primary performance once they've done their job and the product is in the living room being unwrapped. This particular product wasted no time, disappointing some of his most enthusiastic supporters by appointing Israeli son of admitted Zionist terrorist Rahm Emanuel to Chief of Staff. GW Bush and McCain are figures who may know the Zionist side their bread is buttered on, but who have a moderately powerful independent support base to fall back on should they stray from the tribe's line and its media digs up an advance-prepared scandal as a yank on the choke-chain. Obama, on the other hand, owes all of his loyalty to the media and banking string-pullers who certainly 'worked things out' with him early in his bid for the nomination. If the war didn't motivate Americans, the economy did. And where a new batch of Israeli handlers portend zero change regarding the former, an Obama left to his own domestic devices may indeed unleash a nightmare of change regarding the latter. After all, he literally had a hand in causing the economic collapse he's been handed a mandate to reverse. Things will be very, very different in two years.
