Valuable Public Service

If anyone who writes for or is associated with the blog I will now affectionately call Little Goober Freakballs, thank you for your recent public service. You reminded me that I needed to purge my blogroll of links to the the shrill, hateful neo-con kookdum machine, or to anyone who tries to sell themselves as some kind of “conservative” AND cites the Pro-Defamation League (ADL) as a “credible” source.

By the way, nice democracy you got over there in Iraq.

The Anti-White Racism Documentation Center and Link Directory.  Because its URL alludes to the French-language “Racisme Anti-Blanc,” (and so it is referred to on the blogroll), it is very likely a Franco-European-based outlet, and the fact that it monitors anti-blanc racism on both sides of the Atlantic is an indication thereof.

“Conservative” Blog Calls For Bush to Commute Vick’s Prison Sentence

A writer for the Huffington Post has made this call. His reasoning is that since dogfighting is a black thing, we can’t think of it as a criminal enterprise, because we must be racially sensitive.

Using this logic, we should simply repeal most laws against violent crime.

The silver lining to the cloud of this opinion is that it admits that dogfighting has become an element of modern-day hip hop black culture. Until now, a lot of black talking head excuseologists tried to make the case that it, along with cockfighting, is a “white thing.”

Everyone knows that the Huffington Post is a left-of-center organ. But there are some people (as I turn my head in the general direction of Montgomery, Alabama, cough gag) who cite its founder, Arianna Huffington, and the blog, as a “conservative” source, (especially when they lash out at real right-wingers), simply because she was once married to an acey-deucey that ran for U.S. Senate from California as a Republican.

Apology to Readers

Several weeks ago, I added a link to both the blogrolls of the St. Louis CofCC Blog and the Countenance Blog.  Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that this particular south St. Louisan, whose blog begins with the letter H, is nothing more than a neo-con quisling who still thinks the Arab world can be reconstructed in the mold of Vermont.  It also turns out that this blogger loves Negroes — he might one day understand that to the typical white south St. Louisan, black gangs are a more acute threat to the safety of their day-to-day existence than Al Qaeda.

I hope you’ll accept my apology for so poisoning your minds.

“Non-Conformist” Left Pushes for Blogger Conformity

AP:

In a move that might make some people scratch their heads, a loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers are trying to band together to form a labor union they hope will help them receive health insurance, conduct collective bargaining or even set professional standards.

Health insurance? Collective bargaining? From whom, and versus which institution? Being a blogger myself, the last I looked, there is no central agency or corporation that hires someone to be a blogger.

This business about “setting professional standards” needs some explanation:

But not everyone is on board.

“The reason I like blogging is that it’s very anarchistic. I can do whatever I want whenever I want, and oh my God, you’re not going to tell me what to do,” said Curt Hopkins, the founder of the Committee to Protect Bloggers.

“The blogosphere is such a weird term and such a weird idea. It’s anyone who wants to do it,” Hopkins said. “There’s absolutely no commonality there. How will they find a commonality to go on? I think it’s doomed to failure on any sort of large scale.”

(snip)

Mark Noonan, an editor at Blogs for Bush and a senior writer at GOP Bloggers, said he worries that a blogger union would undermine the freewheeling nature of the blogosphere, regardless of its political composition.

“We just go out there and write what is on our mind, damn the critics,” he said. “To make a union is to start to provide a firm structure for the blogosphere and that would merely make the blogosphere a junior-league (mainstream media). … Get us a union and other ‘professional’ organizations and we’ll start to be conformist and we’ll start to be just another special interest.”

What this essentially means is that the Kos people, who had their yearly convention in Chicago last weekend, and who are the ones pushing this union idea, are actually doing it to enforce left-wing conformity and (probably) ideological “purity.” Once again, this is another example demonstrating how the supposedly “non-conformist” and “anarchist” left can be bigger despots than anyone.

Beirich Starts a Blog

Dr. Heidi Beirich, a woman I once described as a sexy, Donna Shalala look-alike, and through her official capacity with some “center,” has started a blog. No, you’re not getting a link.

But I will have a look at their blogroll. After all, Dr. Beirich and the “center” she works for wouldn’t hesitate for a second to judge a right-wing blog, and the organization it represents, if it does represent one, based on the strangest items in its blogroll.

Some of the lowlights:

* Anti-Neo Confederate

That’s Ed Sebesta, who has been trying to land a job with some sort of paranoia-industrial complex outfit for a long time. To wit: He has his resume posted on his static website. Be of good cheer, Ed. Maybe this means that Morris is getting close to hiring you.

* Daily Kos

Need I say more?

* FAIR

No, not Dan Stein’s FAIR, but that other FAIR that thinks that you have to be left-wing to be accurate.

* Subway Canaries

Oh goody, my favorite New Mexico liberal Republican — at this rate, I’m surprised they didn’t link to her best friend, that being the Pondering American. Then again, since Pondering hasn’t made a post since December, and since this would be the time of year that P.A. would be gloating about his precious LSU football team, I think he’s done with blogging.

* Undercover Black Man

Probably the weirdest link on their blogroll.

With these and the ones I didn’t show here, their blogroll is a collection of the kookiest elements of the left-wing. (And I always thought my ‘roll was strange.) So, considering that birds of a feather flock together, what does this say about this “center?” (i.e. that we didn’t know already).

St. Louis Council of Conservative Citizens

I don’t know what this group does, but I like the name.

Actually, I’m kind of hurt that they haven’t sent me an invitation to join.

Anyway, every city needs a council of conservative citizens.

Who’s Your Anti-Immigration Daddy?

V-Dare took heed of my consternation over Tancredogate and their own fantasyland analysis, and whiffed.

The philosophical point I forgot to mention, but I will now, in light of V-Dare’s response, is that the most troubling part of the “we need blacks in common cause” mentality that V-Dare itself has endorsed for at least a year, and the one that Bay Buchanan has suckered Tom Tancredo into believing, is one that I’ll relate to something that happened almost a decade ago.

From December 1998 to about May 1999, the Council of Conservative Citizens received its first wave of MSM attention and scrutiny. The reason was that President Clinton was impeached for lying to a grand jury, and Clintonites and the MSM (inasmuch as one could tell them apart) were in a full court press to save him. Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School Professor, somehow discovered that Bob Barr, then a U.S. House principal in the effort to impeach the President, was the keynote speaker at the CofCC National Conference in Charleston, S.C. in June 1998. This did not much please Mr. Dershowitz, so he opened his mouth, and it was off to the races.

During the hype, national radio talk show host Ken Hamblin, who, like Tancredo, lives in the Denver area, came to our defense. He had CofCC CEO Gordon Lee Baum, Esq., on as a guest four times during the aforementioned period, and one of those times was in a debate with Mark Potok, Director of Intelligence for the SPLC (in which Potok accused Hamblin of not being a real black man).

The next time the CofCC Board of Directors met, several of the directors thought it would be a nifty idea to bring Hamblin in as a speaker. Dr. Samuel Francis, The Bard, would have none of it. In the angriest voice I ever heard him muster, he said (pph):

“What’s the matter with you people? We don’t need permission from any non-white group to be for our people, and we don’t need permission from any non-Christian group to be for our faith. For you to say that we should have him as a speaker communicates the message that we do. I thought we were better than that.”

The V-Dare/Tancredo strategy does just that: It implies that whites can’t be anti-immigration (i.e. a racial issue) without the permission of some non-white group. It also implies that American whites are so politically impotent and incompetent that we can’t accomplish anything by ourselves.

I’m sure there are blacks, like Ken Hamblin, and a few others, that agree with us, and agree with white racialist opposition to open borders, for their own self interests. If they want to help row the boat, fine. But I think we can, and should, and will, row the boat without them. And certainly it doesn’t mean that we’re going to beg a virulently anti-white hate group like the NAACP to do most of the rowing.

V-Dare: If by some miracle Tancredo wins the Republican nomination, and gets more than 10% of the black vote against whatever Democrat wins their party’s nomination, then I will apologize to you personally.

Change is Coming

I am forking my blogging activities.

As you know, this medium, until now, was a quasi-official organ of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area Council of Conservative Citizens. However, unlike most CofCC blogs, this blog and blogmeister maintained a very different writing style and a pattern of story selection. My writing style is snarky, sarcastic and propagandic, in contrast with the erudite, journalistic writing style found elsewhere in the CofCC-osphere. Not only that, I tend to have a lot of stories which interest me personally, but are verily way off on a tangent based on the expectations of the typical visitor to a CofCC-themed weblog.

Therefore, I have created another blog, the URL being:

http://stlcofcc.wordpress.com

That will be the Official St. Louis CofCC Blog. Stories there will be on-topic, reflective of the mission of the CofCC, and written in a journalistic style, as much as possible. Obviously, it will be on the Blogroll of the one you’re reading now.

The blog you’re reading, its URL being:

http://countenance.wordpress.com

…is being re-named to the Countenance Blog and re-purposed around this blogmeister and his individual stream of consciousness, at least ostensibly, even though was that way in reality when this URL took on the facade of being the official St. Louis CofCC Blog.

All posts that were here on the countenance URL before will remain here, even if the few that would meet the criteria of the (new) St. Louis CofCC Blog would better be transferred there and deleted from here. (Don’t interpret this to mean that I won’t make any more posts to the Countenance Blog, because I will. A lot of them.)

The static webpage will remain.

For those of you webmasters and blogmeisters out there reading this, if you continue to link to the countenance URL, realize that you will not be linking to the official St. Louis CofCC Blog anymore. Content on both blogs should be your standard by which you will make a decision on which (if not both) to create links toward.

Thank you for your e-patronage.
