Ayn Rand — One More Agent of Our Destruction!

Recently, a listener to the Don Black –David Duke Radio Program wrote me to criticize my denunciation of the hyper-individualism of Ayn Rand accusing me of being a collectivist, much like the advocates of socialism, communism, fascism and the welfare state! Here is my answer.

Dear Bart,

Sorry we disagree here. But, yes, I believe in loyalty to more than self. I believe in a group loyalty, whether it be man and wife, man and family, man and community, man and nation, man and his race.

That doesn’t mean that there should be no individual rights. Our Constitution is a balance of those rights, the individual on one side and the community, nation state on the other.

If our race does not defend itself, advance its interests as a people we will go down to destruction. The reason why extremist Jews have been able to lead us to disaster is primarily the fact that too many of us have have been taught to believe it is evil to defend our own group, our own heritage, our own values, our own common interests.

You can call that collectivism if you want, but the American founding fathers believed that we had to stand together as Americans, not as a few scattered individuals against the might of the British Empire. Yes, we were motivated by individual rights, and we were motivated by our rights as 13 colonies united in a new nation. (more…)

James Edwards reports from Washington, D.C.

My Report from the American Renaissance Conference

By James Edwards

This past weekend my wife and I had the privilege of attending Jared Taylor’s 2008 American Renaissance Conference in Herndon, Virginia. Taking full advantage of having a few days away from home, we decided to leave Memphis early in the evening on Wednesday and drive straight through the night. It was an 850 mile, twelve-hour journey, but one that I purposefully wanted to take (as opposed to flying) because it would allow me the honor of driving through the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I have been blessed to have become relatively well traveled, having spent time in most all of the states as well as Canada, Europe and the Caribbean. I have been to D.C. itself a couple times, but always on short, politically related endeavors that never warranted more than a short flight in and out. The heart of Virginia, however, was one of the few places that I had always wanted to set foot in, but never really had the occasion until now.

The trek through the Old Dominion didn’t disappoint. I paid my respects to the Lost Colony by filling up the car in Roanoke. Shortly thereafter, I was passing through Lexington, home of Washington and Lee University, the Virginia Military Institute, and the burial sites for both General Robert E. Lee and General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. It was an exhilarating experience as we blitzed past the exits that marked these locations. It was now past 3am as we pushed onward to Washington, but I was never more lucid as I felt the pride of being a native born Southerner (Confederate) swelling up within me.

My wife kept trying to fall asleep, but I’d always wake her up when we passed an exit of historical significance. There are plenty of them in Virginia! I was in the doghouse by the time we got past markers for the Shenandoah Valley, New Market, Bull Run, Fredericksburg and Manassas! We finally pulled up to our first hotel (in Tyson’s Corner) just after sunrise. I don’t recall falling asleep. (more…)
