LIBERALITIS


This dread disorder is an inflammation of the brain centers for common sense, clear thinking and sound judgment; it causes a general confusion of intellectual values, an inability to distinguish between friend and foe and difficulties in recognizing danger to self; is often accompanied by suicidal tendencies, guilt feelings and a perverse apathy for the future life conditions of kin. In severe cases, when total paralysis of moral concepts occur, the disease may become fatal. It attacks in particular adult Caucasians of all ages; if contracted by older individuals, prognosis is poor.

Liberalitis affects not only members of the liberal establishment, the Democratic Party and similar groups, which is to be expected, but is also widespread in conservative circles, where it often goes hand in hand with strong 'Christian' activities such as promotion of any and all leftist causes, for example through the various agencies of the World Council of Churches, or other similar church operations.

The primary outbreak of the disease may caused by a misinterpretation of the so-called Golden Ru1e, or 'live and let live' concept. Matt. 7. 12 (whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even unto to them) sounds fine and would work perfectly well within a homogenous society in which all people had the same intellectual background, the same inclinations and the same sense of humour. But in a society where the population consists of a variety of unassimilable, smaller or larger groups of aliens living off the craftmanship of the majority people, this will not work. –

Individuals suffering from severe liberalitis believe that if any foreigner of whatever creed or political persuasion comes to your door, you should treat him the same way you would a true and tried friend with whom you agree on all intellectual and political questions; you should further ask him into your house and inquire in a friendly fashion if he intends to upset your way of life; if he says no, you should invite him for supper, give him the house keys and tell him to stay as long as he likes. When an individual becomes so utterly confused and unrealistic, no effective cure is known; these must be considered as terminal cases.

However, on direct physical contact most people would disregard the bible's commandments of turning the other cheek and give away both your coat and your cloke (Matt. 5. 39, 40). The problem really arises when the incursions are of a more subtle nature and sneak up on you unaware. This is where the great danger lies. Members of our folk group are usually far too trusting; they do, in fact, live by the Golden Rule themselves and expect others to do the same. They are already at this point carriers of the disease.

They also believe that all members of our folk have the best interests of our people at heart; but this is not so. And this is where most of the danger comes from - the carriers of the disease among ourselves.

And who are these carriers? Their name is legion - they are the government officials who fill the country with aliens who have contributed nothing to the growth of our society but now demand the fruits of our labour as their 'right'; - they are the sob sisters and starry-eyed idealists who feel sorry for the wretched children of India, Pakistan or Africa, and want to bring them here, they see no evil, they hear no evil, but they do evil when they drag these individuals away from their natural environment, and force them to live by our Western standards; - and they are the do-gooders who donate millions of tax-dollars worth of goods to go overseas instead of giving help to self-help.

These are the persons who infest our society with liberalitis. A massive inoculation program must be started immediately against a further spread of the disease. As immunization for those who do not yet suffer from the disorder we recommend a strong dose of identification with the folk-soul, a large spoon of self-preservation (both to be taken every 6 hours) and vigilant control of the political activities of the elected representatives.

BUT SERIOUSLY —


We can joke about 'liberalitis' but the fact remains that our religious and moral concepts have been distorted to such a degree that we now have to go back to square one and start all over again. We can no longer take anything for granted; we must examine, question and study every facet of Western tradition; we must posit, argue, research; we must dig down deep and trace out intellectual roots to their very beginning; and those cultural concepts which are not grown in our native soil must be routed out and the original sentiments re-learned.

This is a very difficult undertaking, for we have become so used to certain ways of looking at things without realizing from whence these ideas came, that we consider them a vital part of our traditions, whereas some of these commonly accepted notions in actual fact at one time were imported, in some cases over the dead bodies of our early ancestors.

This, of course, does not mean that everything we for centuries have believed in und accepted as our 'way of life' suddenly becomes vile, destructive and must be eliminated; what it does mean, however, is that we should always be aware of the 5 Ws - Who says such and such; Why should we believe it; When was it proven beneficial to our folk; Where does it lead us; and What will it mean to the future of our children?

It Is much like investigating a murder - you first ask - Who will gain?' and Where were those persons at the time of the crime! if they score in both gain and opportunity, you zero in on their other activities and find out if it all seems true to character; if so, you go one step further and tail the criminals until you catch them red-handed.

In the same manner and just as methodically and thoroughly you ask who would gain by distorting our cultural values. When you have the answer, you go on to the other Ws. AND THEN YOU ACT. There is plenty of scope within the law to counteract any activities which in your opinion are harmful to kin and country. We do not need Mafia tactics or enforcers; all we need is for each one of us to wake up, to accept his responsibility and to have the courage of his convictions.
