The Progressive Campaign to Keep White Americans Hating Themselves
Cultures, like people, have a sense of life, which Ayn Rand once characterized as, “an emotional atmosphere created by its dominant philosophy, by its view of man and of existence,” that “represents a culture’s dominant values and serves as a leitmotif of a given age.”
I needed to look this one up. A leitmotif or leitmotiv is a "short, recurring musical phrase" associated with a particular person, place, or idea. It is closely related to the musical concepts of idée fixe or motto-theme. The spelling leitmotif is an anglicization of the German Leitmotiv, literally meaning "leading motif", or "guiding motif".The
Consequently, Americans of all stripes feel our society is unraveling before our eyes because we have lost our common culture and our common values. E pluribus unum is little more than an anachronistic slogan—a vestige of a dark time that belongs on the scrap heap of history like so many toppled statues of our now-disgraced forebears.
Until America regains its moral compass, realizes hate is not an argument, and white Americans stop accepting the supposed evils of their whiteness, we will all continue to be stuck in our wounds.

sane people call them Humans
insane people divide them into groups so they can claim some level of power over those groups
power thy should NEVER be allowed to have
The rulelessers?...definitely a different species!
He never said not to judge people.
A few short years later during 1970 I shared a canteen with a just as thirsty black Marine while thinking, "I know some people who'd be screaming at me in Dothan, Alabama, right now."
Later as I used the GI Bill to go to Troy State University, I held a door open for three black women. (Guess "co-ed" is a no-no word now like "actress.") An enraged white woman with about as many onlooking white female students exclaimed, "Look! He's opening that door for N****RS!" Me dino smiled at them. Thought it was funny. It felt quite liberating actually. Recall there were white guys around at the time but they said or did nothing.
At about the same time I had a friend at TSU, who once said, "Nobody asks to be born black."
"Nobody asks to be born any color" is what I have to say to treasous Marxists, who seek to divide Americans by race since it's harder to do it be class such as in, say, 1917 Russia.
a choice .That is to choose to become a better person or not. When born we are a blank canvas.
We mimick and we learn. As we learn we discern.
We make mistakes and good people learn from them. In my lifetime I have seen prejudices from whites wane and prejudice against whites increase. The Marxist leaders play their evil games to divide US. The hatred they have fomented and manipulated should be focused on them.
Same goes for the all kinds Marxists even those who who pass themselves off as sweet little libtarded Progressives these days.
Restoration of the five pillars of this granite monument would go a long ways to restoring this Republic!
Faith Belief in Something
Morality there is right and wrong
Law instituted among men to provide rules and settle disputes with Justice and Mercy
Education Knowledge of matters of law and it's foundation
Liberty the result of following and living the above

For anyone who has not read Radical Son by David Horowitz, go read it. It's a really worthwhile book. David gives a harsh look inside the American Communist activities of the middle of the 20th century. Those people were his friends, or so he believed. Two of them were his parents.
My only complaint, which I am rectifying in my own copy of the book, is that some of the editing was poor and it's sometime hard to wade through all the people whom David calls by their first names but who appear in the index only under the last name. "Betty"? Oh that's Betty van Patter. Betty's murder turned David against his Commie buddies.
Millie is spot on....
I had one with 3 different colored chicken eggs looking exactly the same in the frying pan...but I lost it.
Got a pic of My Dad's Mom and Dad. Sadly, never met them. Both immigrated from Sweden.
Will send to you some day.
I was bitchen at concrap...
The family in the drawing room.
Nothing like my family, there were one or two households in my acquaintance who could some of the time been like that.
This pic would have portrayed a small fraction of the population, and still unrealistic, and still important.
The scene is mythical but shows an ideal-
all the family together, not for some ceremony or pose but it was what families did,
at leisure, father reading the newspaper, mother knitting, I suppose the maid is in the kitchen getting dinner,
all so neatly dressed, clean looking and hair tidy, father in a suit.
Order, tranquility, relationships-
- Different groups do this in ways that suit
- Important, no racial test for this
- Necessary but not sufficient for civilization.
No maid in the kitchen though.
The idea is that the family is the building block, other memberships are essential but basic values are taught at home. The trend now is for the family to be transient, a place where a TV is always on, and with a bit of luck some food is in the frig, not much else. Neither values nor skills are taught in that family, nor even at school. Membership and identity are provided by gangs, good leadership and values can be in the gang, but unusual. At a certain point, a nation like that can only disintegrate, or, it can survive but with rigid stratification, like in '1984'.
The photo, more rambling-
The man is in the prestige chair and power position, but I bet the woman runs the household, the man only makes the big important decisions. In a well run household there are no big decisions.
it is evocative, a reminder of a time when there was security as well as avenues for improvement with the right encouragement. It existed for some, for others it did not exist but they knew what it was, they could strive for it.

Also, thanks for the compliment as I always took care of my uniforms and appearance whether I was portraying Union or Confederate. Part of a proper portrayal of those who came before us is to understand who they were as individuals. The officers of that time were disciplined and trained at West Point, VMI, or other military school. Personal grooming was part of that discipline and was maintained throughout their career regardless of the circumstances they found themselves in. I maintained that as best I could in my re-creation of who they were. I lived in a canvass tent during all my events, sometimes for a week at a time. Regardless of weather (good, rain, heat, snow) I would get up early to wash up outside the tent, shave cheeks and neck with a civil war era blacksmith made straight razor, clean my boots and leathers, brush any dirt or dust off my coat and trousers, and clean any brass that needed it. Then I was ready for the day. When in command, the officers under me saw what I was doing and began doing the same. We were sharp! LOL!

I am Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie boy
A glass of wine with you, sir
And the ladies I'll enjoy
All Durham and Northumberland
Is measured up by my own hand
It was my fate from birth
To make my mark upon the earth
He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky
They'd cut me out for baking bread
But I had other dreams instead
This baker's boy from the west country
Would join the Royal Society
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker's boy
In the forests of the Iroquois
Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Come up and feel the sun
A new morning has begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

Lyrics for
Brothers in Arms
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home was the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As a battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
So many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has funded Florida Tech substantially over the past decade to instill its 3C's values of curiosity, connections, and creating value. While much of that happens in the classroom, establishing such a culture requires educating students on the cultural references in movie, TV, historical, sports, literary, comedic, and personal sources that best exemplify these values. To this end, to help establish community, and to make Florida Tech more fun, I have purchased DVD's toward establishing a Friday film festival and a Sunday evening "Dr. Brenner's Study Breaks" series. Before each event, you will hear a brief recording from one or two slides from my nanotechminorprogramhistorywithaudiov4.pptx (or perhaps a drbrennerstudybreaks.pptx file that is yet to be generated) that provide context on why I picked that night's cultural reference, followed by the movie, TV episode, or documentary, and ultimately by a brief discussion on the topic. I hope to get these study break episodes to air in the Olin Engineering 118 auditorium as plan A, the Honors College building as plan B, and Zoom as plan C. In the brief descriptions that follow each cultural event listed below, a sentence or two is copied from the sites from which I purchased the DVD's, along with a brief explanation from selected slides from within nanotechminorprogramhistorywithaudiov4.pptx of how that cultural content is important to FIT's maker initiative, my nanotechnology minor, the Honors College (see "Honors Activities" in the link, and most importantly, KEEN's 3C's. The narrated slides will serve as the pre-activity briefings for the dorm programming. The file referencesforculturalcontent.doc is supporting documentation.
