The ship carrying meritocracy and color-blind America burned and sank in the harbor a decade ago. We watched it burn. We smoked cigars and drank fine whiskey and cheered as it erupted in flames. We felt nothing but relief for its loss. We toasted its demise. The great post-war lie that held us down was now a spectacular, flaming ruin. The spiteful egregore was finally vanquished, its hypnotic power dissipating into a thin mist hovering over the fast-sinking ship. We felt real hope for the first time in decades. 1/ As dawn came, we walked back to our cars, having resolved to build anew. We set out to create something pristine, something durable, something worth having, more importantly, something that was finally OURS. We swore to affirm what is best, and equally important, to reject what is hateful to us. We committed to the hard business of constructing our own thing, to form our own institutions, with our own network of businesses and clubs. Our SACRED AIM was to create a parallel society of mutual support with our own traditions and unifying symbols for our people–the people who built America, the Americans. I call this thing of ours: the American Civilizational Experiment. Your fake and gay America wasn't worth keeping, it’s just a strip mall with a bunch of empty words festooned across it like bad signage. I’d say it was dead–but propositional America was never alive in the first place. It was a simulacrum of the real thing. 2/

The most tribal people in the history of the world (save perhaps the Parsis) get their own nation state after thousands of years in diaspora exile. And when I suggest that maybe their loyalties to this new nation state of theirs (which is explicitly defined as “the home of the Jews”) might be in conflict with the interests of the United States, they go apoplectic to the point where they feel comfortable demanding my censure in my own country. They are a tiny fraction of the population, and most are relative newcomers (like Ben Shapiro who just got here), but they insist we all remain silent while they piously lecture us on what it means to be an American–and with thinly veiled threats if we object. The chutzpah on these stiff-necked people. I go after Ben Shapiro for being Israel-First (he is), and I get a noseful of “dual loyalty is a anti-Semetic trope” etc etc. How many of these essays on the evil of noticing dual-loyalty are they going to write? It’s the same rubbish paranoid Jews and their heretic ‘Christian’ dispensationalists have been peddling for decades. It read better when better men like Norman Podhoretz made the charge a half-century ago. I like Norman and guys like him, tough old-school Jews. If I’m going to be lectured on what is and what is not permissible to say in my own nation by Ashkenazy know-it-alls, I insist on a first-rate inquisitor. I insist on Ze’ev Jabotinsky.
