They Shall Overcome

In the tragic history of oppressed peoples, perhaps no group has become more oppressed more swiftly than the white conservative.

Though they held on with a Republican president for 27 of the last 39 years (and with white moderate Southern Democrats for the other 12), with the first 100 days of the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama, the floodgates have at last given way to a hegemony of racist oppression heretofore unseen in the annals of history.

They shall overcome
They shall overcome
They shall overcome some day

The first ominous sign of this oppression came in the form of a Department of Homeland Security report warning of an increase in rightwing extremism and possible recruitment of returning veterans. This is obviously a racist document that sets the stage for pogroms and perhaps even internment of white conservatives.

To begin with, there is obviously no such thing as rightwing extremism. Some will cite the example of Timothy McVeigh, a Desert Storm veteran who blew up a federal building and killed 186 men, women, and children because taxes were too high and the government was becoming socialist. But one single example does not a movement make.

Then the craven leftists will cite Eric Rudolph, who while in the U.S. Army attended the Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, attaining the rank of Specialist/E-4. Rudolph went on to set off a bomb at the Atlanta Olympics, killing two and wounding 111. Rudolph also bombed abortion clinics in Atlanta and my hometown of Birmingham, killing one and critically injuring another, and injuring five by setting off a bomb outside an Atlanta gay bar. But again, that's just a single example.

Then there are 7 murders of abortion providers between 1993 and 1998. But that was a lifetime ago!

Then there's James Adkisson, who in 2008 killed two in an assault on Knoxville, Tennessee, Unitarian church because "liberals are a pest like termites," and Richard Poplawski who just weeks ago killed three Pittsburgh police officers and apparently harbored fears that President Obama and the federal government were coming to take aways his guns.

Again, single examples don't prove anything.

Oh, deep in their hearts
They do believe
They shall overcome some day

Yes, there's a 2008 FBI report about recruitment of military veterans into rightwing extremist groups, but we all know how the FBI has long been a haven for communists.

And yes, there was a report about leftwing extremism issued by the Obama administration in January, but all that did was make the leftwing extremists look "hip" and "cool" by talking about how they were really sharp with computers. We see what's going on.

We should be thankful that there are patriots like Michelle Malkin and Glenn Beck, champions in the fight against racism and oppression. The amateur citizen historian Malkin published a non-peer-reviewed book in 2004 entitled In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror, featuring a Japanese American and 9/11 bomber Mohammed Atta on the cover. In it, Malkin helpfully explains to us why the interning of people based on their ethnicity is sometimes necessary. But it's a gross perversion of Malkin's thesis to use it to justify the internment of white people, which the Obama administration is clearly planning.

And the patriot Beck, now recovered from his ass surgery and moved to tears about President Obama's choco-fascist takeover of all we hold dear, warned months ago about what might come:



They'll walk hand in hand
They'll walk hand in hand
They'll walk hand in hand some day

So when faced with a government that wants to take all the money from hardworking white conservatives, and then ultimately intern them because of trumped-up fears of non-existent "rightwing extremism," how should conservatives respond?

Why, by peacefully protesting, like these patriots did on Teabagging Day:







Here's a young patriot, wise beyond her years:



And here's a wonderful quote from a teabagger and great American:

"I love my country and I don't like what's going on," Smith said. "Government -- to be honest with you, and this will probably be misquoted, but on 9/11, I think they hit the wrong building. They should have gone into the Capitol building, hit out, knocked out both sides of the aisle, we'd start from scratch, we'd be better off today." I pointed out that "they" did try to hit the Capitol. "Yeah, I know, they missed," he said. "The wrong sequence. If someone had to go, it should have been the Capitol building. On that day I felt differently, but today that's the way I feel."

Oh, deep in their hearts
They do believe
They shall overcome some day

And if the peaceful, loving protests don't work? We'll then maybe it's time to . . .



Time to . . .



Time to . . .



Now at other times, in other places, the parties involved might be urged to give up such hostile talk and work for peace. But these aren't brown people we're talking about.

They shall all be free
They shall all be free
They shall all be free some day

Of course there will always be communist America-haters like Jon Stewart who weakly attempt to point out hypocrisy on the part of Fox News and other conservative entities regarding protests against government:

What the lover of fascism and racism Stewart obviously doesn't understand is that righteousness always trumps hypocrisy. Why don't you move to China, Stewart?

Don't fall for the likes of David Frum, David Horowitz, or Charles Johnson. They have obviously gone over to the enemy, and have lost all perspective about the coming apocalypse! Perhaps they have been sipping a few too many martinis and nibbling on a few too many cocktail wienies to see the oppression of the white conservative.

There are, of course, some long-term benefits to oppression. I'm thinking of art. Just think of only a few of the cultural contributions to arise from slavery of, and bigotry against, African Americans: blues, jazz, gospel, R&B, rock and roll, Native Son, Invisible Man, Beloved. I don't think Ted Nugent, the poetry of Glenn Beck, and The Turner Diaries quite measure up--time to get to work!

Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
