Category: America's Shittiest Website, White House
You know something is up when K-Lo takes off her bib, pushes away from the buffet table, and heads to D.C. with an overnight bag and a dozen slices of cold pizza for the three hour train ride. And, indeed there is something up. Right after Our Glorious Leader finished his thirtieth reprise of the terror stump speech, he hosted a little party at the White House for William F. Buckley and the 50th anniversary of National Review.
In honor of this occasion, K-Lo posted at America’s Shittiest Website™ a few excerpts from the magazine’s former editions. Well, since I wasn’t invited to the party, I thought I might contribute a few things from past editions of National Review which certainly makes that magazine worthy of such adulation and respect from this White House.
Here’s what NR had to say about the Birmingham church bombings after they occurred:
Let us gently say the fiend who set off the bomb does not have the sympathy of the white population in the South; in fact, he set back the cause of the white people there so dramatically as to raise the question whether in fact the explosion was the act of a provocateur — of a Communist, or of a crazed Negro.And let it be said that the convulsions that go on, and are bound to continue, have resulted from revolutionary assaults on the status quo, and a contempt for the law, which are traceable to the Supreme Court’s manifest contempt for the settled traditions of Constitutional practice. Certainly it now appears that Birmingham’s Negroes will never be content so long as the white population is free to be free.
And, of course, there’s more. Lots more.
From an unsigned National Review editorial printed August 24, 1957, titled “Why the South Must Prevail” (probably by William F. Buckley Jr.):
The central question that emerges . . . is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not prevail numerically? The sobering answer is Yes — the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race. It is not easy, and it is unpleasant, to adduce statistics evidencing the cultural superiority of White over Negro: but it is a fact that obtrudes, one that cannot be hidden by ever-so-busy egalitarians and anthropologists
From Richard Weaver, “Integration is Communization,” published by NR on July 13, 1957:
‘Integration’ and ‘Communization’ are, after all, pretty closely synonymous. In light of what is happening today, the first may be little more than a euphemism for the second. It does not take many steps to get from the ‘integrating’ of facilities to the ‘communizing’ of facilities, if the impulse is there.
From an interview of Senator Richard Russell published in NR, also in 1957:
As you know, Mr. Jones, there are some communities and some states where the Negro’s voting potential is very great. We wish at all costs to avoid a repetition of the Reconstruction period when newly freed slaves made the laws and undertook their enforcement. We feel even more strongly about miscegenation or racial amalgamation.The experience of other countries and civilizations has demonstrated that the separation of the races biologically is highly preferable to amalgamation.
I know of nothing in human history that would lead us to conclude that miscegenation is desirable.
From James J. Kilpatrick, “Right and Power in Arkansas,” published August 28, 1957:
The State of Arkansas and Orval Faubus are wholly in the right; they have acted lawfully; they are entitled to those great presumptions of the law which underlie the whole of our judicial tradition . . . Conceding, for the sake of discussion, that the Negro pupil has these new rights, what of the white community? Has it none?
From an unsigned NR editorial published on June 2, 1964:
But whatever the exact net result in the restricted field of school desegregation, what a price we are paying for Brown! It would be ridiculous to hold the Supreme Court solely to blame for the ludicrously named ‘civil rights movement’ — that is, the Negro revolt.
From an unsigned NR editorial published on July 2, 1963:
The Negro people have been encouraged to ask for, and to believe they can get, nothing less than the evanescence of color, and they are doomed to founder on the shoals of existing human attitudes — their own included.
Oh, but you object, that was so many years ago. Surely, they don’t believe this stuff anymore. Well, then, if you think that, you should consider what Jonah the Whale said, just last week, about Bill Bennet’s statement that crime rates would drop if all black babies were aborted:
Anyway, as you might suspect, I think this is a silly, manufactured, attack on Bennett. Maybe he could have phrased it differently, but the point he made is rational and true.
The fat boy is saying that that it is rational and true to suppose that next generation of African-Americans is bound to grow up with a higher percentage of criminals than the general population. How different is that, really, from the bile the NR was spewing against “Negroes” back in the 60s? And, how appropriate it is that George W. Bush would want to commemorate such fine people.
