I’ve often wondered why the American Right has been so quiet about V.S. Naipaul. He’s easily the most talented reactionary writer in the English language–maybe the only living talent left in the right-wing zombiesphere. The American Right devotes an insane amount of resources into manufacturing hagiographies on anyone whom they believe makes them look good–even the Soviets couldn’t compete with today’s American Right when it comes to glorifying their pantheon of degenerate cretins like Ayn Rand, Phyllis Schlafly, Friedrich von Hayek… I found a few passages that I think explain why they never liked Naipaul much. Basically, it comes down to this: The American Right only needs “team players”–shameless, cynical hacks who can be counted on to churn out whatever rank propaganda ordered up by the Heritage Foundation. For that, you need a Rotary Club nihilist like Dinesh D’Souza, someone totally devoid of a literary ego, intellectual curiosity or a gag reflex. I was just reading Patrick French’s brilliant biography of Naipaul, The World Is What It Is, and came across this interesting scene from Naipaul’s visit to America in 1969. Naipaul had already started developing a reputation at that point as one of the rare examples of a dark-skinned reactionary Tory from a Third World colony, making him one of the most despised literary figures among the trendy-left.

Just a minor correction but it is worthy of note. Goldi-Lox deleted TWO threads by Tater yesterday. One of them was about the poster "We The People" the other was about yourself, calcon. And, this evening.... I checked out LP for kicks. Major Tater still thinks he can outbest WTP. I am starting to feel sorrow for Tater anymore. Now, he has others kicking his ass all over LP. Awwwwww.
Get lost tater. We don't need you dragging Stone's forum into the ditch.
Yea ... they must have learned how to kick ass from Goldi. She is definitely an effective ass kicker ... she kicked your ass off her forum. ROTFL ...
Old Tater has to go for now, Freddy ... but I will not get lost, I assure you.
Actually, she didn't. Allow a moment for me to explain. I still have some old poster monickers that I use from time to time on LP. I always used them as benign posters, however. hehehehehe.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
You're not exactly known as any kind of mental giant, so keep your useless opinion to yourself, jackass. Lol
------------------------------------- I am not exactly on friendly terms with this Goldi. But that Israel firster term is stupid. There is more different opinions allowed at libertypost.com then either freedom4um.com or the nest. Both of those sites are 100 percent anti jew. Not one exception.
Not yours.
You write much? Let the record show that I'm not calling you names.
That is an adorable video ... I laughed, laughed and laughed while viewing. That's a keeper. You have such a wit ...
hehehehehe. What does it matter when nobody knows they are you? It doesn't matter to anyone ... you having to hide WHO you are. Actually, it serves a good purpose for everyone ... it means that they know they are not having to put up with you, as you. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
WRONG! The sites you speak of are against Israel receiving so much money from Congressional budgeting (right out of taxpayer billfolds) since 1948. Israel is a Jewish secular nation artificially created by the UK/US/France through the UN. Yet, over the 60+ years of American "generosity" towards Israel, all we have is debt, death and taxes. And a FUCK YOU, SHALOM from Israel. The problem isn't about Judaism; it is about the hypocrisy of US foreign policy and intervention with BILLIONS of US taxes benefiting Israel over 60 years. Portions of that same money is provided back to US elected leaders which influences further or more international intrigue on Israel's behalf. You lose, pal.
I have reserved some of your BEST friends on LP (or so you think) for a special Sunday. All in honour of yourself, of course. heheheheehehe.
heheheheehehe. Your false threats are like farts in the wind, they only stink if you are standing downwind ... no one is. Hahahahahahahahahaha.
No you lose pal. You didn't name one poster on any of those sites that is pro Jew. They are all anti Jew.
Didn't you suggest "site?" No, now it is single out a poster here or there? Are you out of YOUR FRICKIN' MIND? You are as ignorant as they come, Stone.
As I suggested earlier, I truly feel sorrow for you. You could have been a fine poster without your yackity-yak-yak campaign for "yukon." You lost that one, too. Awwwwww.
No you are out of your mind. As usual. What I said is true. There are none.
whitey talks about being a woman http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/ readart.cgi? ArtNum=309775&Disp=44#C44
------------------------------------- Well, if there is NOONE, as you claim, how come I post there. I don't FUCKING care if someone is Jewish; and as a result, you have proven you are one blind-assed jerk, again.
What did I miss?
Well that is true. You sometimes don't post as an anti jew. I stand corrected. You must be the only one.
Okay, there was a space in your link - no fault of yours. WhiteTrash is a guy? Fuck me.
Don't you have to work tomorrow? Go to bed.
Here is the problem that you can not understand. You have the issues confused and completely understated; you are all mixed upped.
I have lost nothing. I don’t agree with everything yukon posts, I never agree with everything anyone says … no one does. But regardless how you may look at it, I devoted 24-years of my life to afford the opportunity for everyone to say what they think, in any way and anytime they want to … so long as they conduct themselves lawfully. No one has the right to drive yukon from a forum, no one has the right to drive anyone from a forum … except the owner of the forum. When I saw the concentrated effort to gang bang attack yukon in an attempt to silence him … I decided that was not right, and then I joined in the fray. It was only then that I did. What you have done is wrong, but you will never realize that … and if you do, then you will never admit that. Nah, Bucky Boy, I have lost nothing … you are wrong. So, follow through with you Sunday morning attack on LP ... If that is what you want to do. You have said that no one can stop you, and they probably cannot. Just have at it. It will only be a tempory blip, soon to be forgotton ... for which you will receive no fame, glory or satisfaction since there is no way you can take credit for it.
I'm looking for decimon; seen him?
Actually most people don't give a shit.
Why do you Bucky ... why do you post anywhere?
So, what the FUCK are you doing here? Many folks are addressing the "root cause of failure" about the US government system. And if you don't think Israel is one of them, you are out of your FRICKIN' mind as I suggested earlier.
I post where you would least suspect it. One of the instruments of good debate is to ensure a good catalyst sticks towards a certain viewpoint. This means that not much can be said towards one side or the other; it has to be performed delicately unless I wish the other parties to know a specific effort. Of course, YOU know what I mean, don't you Major Tater?
"That post, your questions about Tweety Bird's sexuality and previous posts that attack me for being a woman are clear indications of your ..."
------------------------------------- Just curious since I've never heard of Mark Ames. Why does he think the American Right Never Liked V.S. Naipaul of whom I've also never heard. And what does it have to do with Israel?
I just stated a fact. Most Americans don't give a shit. The Jews are not a root cause of any failure here. Look in the mirror.
Of course, YOU know what I mean, don't you Major Tater? Nah, Bucky, old Major Tater doesn't know what you mean ... few, if any, people ever do. Posting where I least suspect it? What? It does NOTHING to me or for me if I don't know it's you posting. Bucky, you are a harmless and misguided braggard.
Nah, Bucky, old Major Tater doesn't know what you mean ... few, if any, people ever do. I think I have it figured out. He says he is like a tree in the forest you can't see because the bear shitting on the tree forgot the Charmin...
Indirectly, they are since Israel is owned lock, stock & barrel by Jews. But, US intervention around the world (certainly in the ME) is based on Israel. One of the largest components of contemporary US failure both domestically & internationally is because of Israel. Immediately following the US creation of the UN was the "statehood" of Israel. And, then the US created the CIA. Ever since, America has been at WAR, somewhere. Today, we see Israeli dual citizens at the highest levels of government directing US policies. This is an issue.
Of course, YOU know what I mean, Can either of you help me understand what Bucky means?
I just made a post to you asking you to help me understand ... he says I do, but I surely don't. He normally only makes these kind of incoherent posts when he is all boozed up, and that is usually on Saturday night. But, it's only Wednesday night ... ya think he is getting a head start?
Well, let me put it as kindly as possible. If he isn't drunk, he is a quart low.
