THE FALSE IDOL OF AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY
MICHAEL HILL
Democracy
is an idol in
America
,
and most Americans worship devoutly at its altar. Majorities marshaled every
two or four years have become our gods. They dictate to us how we shall live
and die. Most say they wouldn’t have it any other way. That would be
un-American. To be patriotic citizens, we must live with the results of the
ballot, be it in a general election, a Supreme Court ruling, or a Congressional
vote. The verdict is sacrosanct because it was reached through the democratic
process of majority vote. We can grouse and complain about it but we see
ourselves bound by it. Otherwise, how could we claim to be “good Americans?”
But our
classroom civics books did not tell us that majority rule only works where
there is already a consensus of sorts on the fundamental issues within a
particular society. For instance, in a Christian nation that enjoys a high
degree of homogeneity in its racial and ethnic make-up, language, institutions,
and inherited culture, most matters up for a vote are largely superficial
policy issues. They don’t tamper with the agreed-upon foundations of the
society. However, in a multicultural and multiracial polyglot Empire such as
ours is today, the concept of majority rule is often fraught with dire (and
even deadly) consequences for the losers, especially if the winners bear a
grudge.
As I write,
the U. S. Senate has just voted 64-35 (with 60 votes needed) to move ahead with
Senate Bill 1639, the infamous Amnesty Bill. If the bill becomes law, which
many of its supports now think is inevitable, it will grant legal status to
between 12-20 million illegal aliens already in the country. This will
literally open the floodgates to tens of millions more
Third
World
immigrants over the next few decades. It will mean the end
of society as we know it.
Who stands
to lose by this devil’s bargain? The descendants of
America
’s founding stock will be
the losers. Our ancestors bequeathed us a republican society based on Christian
moral principles, the English language, racial (and some degree of ethnic)
homogeneity, and British legal and political institutions. All this will be
gone with the wind when we throw open the golden door to unlimited immigration.
Only the
South, as reflected in the votes of most of its Senators, opposed this radical
transformation. Some 80% of Southerners oppose amnesty. It is not surprising,
then, that of the 35 “no” votes, 17 came from the South. That’s almost half of
the total opposition to S. 1639. Only 11 Southern Senators (including Lindsey
Graham of
South Carolina
and
Trent
“NAACP” Lott of
Mississippi
)
voted for the Amnesty Bill.
Perhaps
Americans in other regions outside the South are quite happy with the idea of
giving the country away to
Third World
illegals.
But if the rest of the country is determined to go straight to hell, is the
South obliged to go along for the ride just so “democracy” can be upheld?
I say it’s
time we put aside our reverence for the sort of majority rule that allows men
such as Teddy Kennedy to determine the South’s fate. If this were merely a
superficial policy matter it might be different. As it is, amnesty (and its
sure aftermath) is literally a matter of life and death for our society. We are
told that we must abide by a decision that could destroy our very way of life.
Only a fool would consent to do so.
Again,
democracy will not work in a multicultural, polyglot Empire. I shudder to think
what will happen to our progeny when they become the numerical political
minority. Will their rights be protected by the new regnant majority who are
not products of Western Christian civilization? Or will a majority of wolves
vote to devour a minority of sheep? I think you know the answer.
If, in the
cause of furthering
America
’s
democratic institutions, you place your future in the hands of those who have
already betrayed you, then you and your children will ultimately be
dispossessed of life, liberty, and property in the name of democracy (and other
dubious ideologies). You will have meekly acquiesced to the whim of a temporary
majority because you did not have the nerve to walk away from the holy ground
upon which you were commanded to kneel and worship the idol.
So what is
the answer for us stubborn and contrary Southerners? For our self-preservation
dare we cast aside voting and the idea of the “consent of the governed” for a
monarchy or dictatorship? No. We must simply re-define the political and social
entity to which we belong. To wit, we need an independent Southern Republic in
which our interests and moral principles hold sway. No more being ruled by the
Ted Kennedys of the world. In my eyes, such a course is not only desirable, it
is necessary for our survival.
