Speaking of Neo-Nationalists
For Clay Burnham, Neiman, Proof, R108, 2H9, and anyone else who senses that our nation’s original ideals and purpose have been ignored, or worse rationalized away in a monstrous and mischievous wave of political correctness, I’d like to introduce you to the New Nationalist.
A former US Foreign Service Officer, he blogged previously from overseas and from the US under the title New Sisyphus.
His first post, titled “T.R Was, and Is, Right” is at the bottom of the page and offers a couple of very prescient quotes from Teddy Roosevelt.
In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American.
And,
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts ‘native’ before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.
I would urge you each to read the rest of New Nationalist’s first posts carefully. There are only six altogether. What he writes is in no small sense revolutionary. But I believe it should be written… and it should be read.
If we are to re-establish… our nationhood, if we are to recover our manliness as a culture, we must first give ourselves permission to hate. We must be mentally prepared to stand up and against all popular expectation to sneer with utter contempt at those whose petty racial and other-national interests are tearing down the edifice so painstakingly built by our predecessors.
