I like “unpopular” conservatives like Pat Buchanan, Michael Savage, and Tom Tancredo. Lukewarm anything is a turn-off, man. That’s why I’m not fond of RINOs of any kind, or so-called moderates. What the heck is a moderate, anyway?
Those three men are often described as extreme, and extreme is in the eye of the beholder, which is why I avoid using the word. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no such thing as an “extreme leftist,” for example. They’re just leftists to me.
That’s why I read Fred Reed. He’s irreverent and unafraid of what people think of him, something I try to emulate every day on this blog. Fred links to me and a fellow BC (a great guy I met at a blog meet-up last year, William Powell) in his latest column, Attending Rupert’s Wake. He writes:
A story on the site of ABC News led with the lurid headline, “Young Singers Spread Racist Hate.†Now, if young singers have ABC’s bowels in a racial uproar, you can be sure that the singers are white. We all understand that hate is what white people do. Thus it was. A pair of very young girls, calling themselves Prussian Blue, say that they want to maintain the purity of the white race. (Why this is precisely hate eludes me.) Various authorities are quoted as to the effect that they are shocked, appalled, disappointed, and so on.
At about the same time, I found the account of a black man, one Dr. (of what, I wonder?) Kamau Kambon , who while speaking to a panel at the law school of Howard University (a black school in Washington, DC) said that the white race should be exterminated.
The media are extremely (oops!) selective about what they consider newsworthy. If a white person so much as hints at “racial pride,” elitist leftists shout “Racist!” from the rooftops. But when an extremist (there I go again!) black man explicitly states that whites should be exterminated, not a peep.
Do you think that’s right?

Update: Independent Conservative has a detailed post on the would-be exterminator of white folks.
Unrelated Update: French and Vulcan African Americans? Some people are too PC for their own good. To quote myself:
I cringe every time I see and hear “African American.†There is no such nationality or race as “African American,†OK? If blacks don’t like the word “black†or whites feel funny saying it, pick a new word. I resent being referred to as “African American,†but if other folks want to be called that, there’s nothing I can do about it. Please, please, please stop using that term.
We are Americans. Most of us are descended from Africans, but we are not Africans. Most were born and raised right here in the good old USA. Do not assume that all blacks want to be called “African American.†Do not make me a lesser American by adding a reference to another continent, one I’ve never even been to, for crying out loud, to my nationality.
Another Update: Arrrgggh! The point of this post is NOT those darn girl singers! Will you people think on a higher level for a change? Frustrates me to no end.
