"The Night The Lights Went Out In Geogia"
Vicki Lawrence

He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop at Webbs
And have him a drink
'fore he went home to her
Andy Wolloe said Hello
And he said Hi, whats doin', Wo
Said, sit down, I got some bad news, it's gonna hurt
He said, I'm your best friend and you know that's right
But your young bride ain't home tonight
Since you been gone she's been seein' that Amos boy, Seth
Well, he got mad 'n' he saw red
And Andy said, Boy, dontcha lose your head
'Cause to tell ya the truth
I been with her myself

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hands

Well, Andy got scared and left the bar
Walkin' on home 'cause he didn't live far
See, Andy didn't have many friends
And he'd just lost him one
Brother thought his wife musta left town
So he went home and finally found
The only thing Papa had left him and that was a gun

And he went off to Andy's house
A-slippin' through the backwoods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the back-porch door
And he saw Andy lyin' on the floor
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake

Well, the Georgia Patrol was a-makin their rounds
So he fired a shot just to flag 'em down
And a big-bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said "why dya do it"
And the judge said Guilty in a make-believe trial
And slapped the Sheriff on the back with a smile
Said suppers waitin' at home and I gotta get to it

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Well, they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house and back that night were mine
And his cheatin' wife had never left town
And that's one body that'll never be found
See, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia, oh-oh-aah
That's the night that they hung an innocent man, ah-huh-unh
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'Cause the Judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hands

15 June 1999

Richmond Times-Dispatch
Correspondent of the Day, Mudboy Slim

"Accord Made Possible By Capitulation--Clinton's"

Editor, Times-Dispatch:

People who have tuned in to any of the networks over the past few days have no doubt been treated to any number of stories celebrating Bill Clinton's great military victory over Yugoslavia, as well as his supposed political victory over those who have questioned the advisability of his ruthless attacks on a sovereign nation that has never threatened our national interests. Does the Leftist Media even believe their own spin?!! Are they as corrupt as Clinton, or just plain IGNORANT?!!

After two months of indiscriminately slaughtering innocent Kosovar Albanians and Serbs alike, destroying the infrastructure of a sovereign nation, and expending a substantial portion of our already-depleted weapons cache, the G-8 deal Slobodon Milosevic apparently has accepted is almost exactly the same as the one we could have had prior to Clinton's commencement of the bloodshed.

By all accounts, the Rambouillet Accords the administration tried to force down the throats of the Yugoslavian leadership were acceptable to Slobo with two major exceptions. First, the occupying force Clinton wanted to install in Kosovo had to be NATO-led, while Slobo insisted that the peacekeepers be UN-led. The difference is critical, as a UN-led force would be monitored by the U.N. Security Council, on which both Russia and China have veto authority; while a NATO-led force would answer directly to Slick Willie.

The second major disagreement related to the future of Kosovo as a province of Yugoslavia, where the U.S./Kosovo Liberation Army contingent demanded a plebiscite in three years, which would allow the ethnic Albanians to secede and form their own Islamic state--while Milosevic insisted that Kosovo remain part of greater Yugoslavia.

The ugly truth the Clinton cheerleaders in the media refuse to publicize is that the G-8 agreement includes a UN-led peace-keeping force, and no provision for Kosovar Albanian independence. Make no mistake about it, the capitulation required to reach an agreement in the Clinton/Milosevic negotiations was much more Clinton's than it was Slobo's--and the two- month massacre was a huge waste of money, weaponry, lives, and American prestige!

Quite Sincerely...MUD

"No Sympathy for the Lib'rals"
(To be sung to the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil")

Please allow me to introduce the World...
To the Left, they feel no shame!
Been around here for forty long years...
Stole many a man's Hope and Faith!
Fascists in Power when Jesus Christ...
Bore our crosses and bore our pain.
Made damn sure our Savior...
Wouldn't threaten their Evil Reign!
Please believe me...Lib'rals are to blame!
Despite their righteous talk, more Power is their aim!!

They saw their chance in St. Petersburg,
When they saw the Monarchy had been shamed.
Killed the Czar and his ministers...
As well as any Man who could think!
They rode the tanks in Heil Hitler's ranks...
When the blitzkrieg raged and all Waco stank!
Please believe me...Socialists are to blame!
Oh, yeah! Bloody failures, yet, they seem oblivious to shame!

They cheered with glee helpin' Pol Pot succeed...
Led by Hanoi Jane, their hands are bloody-stained!
They shouted out, "Who killed the Left's Elite?"
While slaughterin' all who just wished to breathe free!
Let me please clarify myself, these Elites have wealth and "taste"...
But their attacks on Liberty...have become a National Disgrace!!

I swear to you, DemocRATZ are to blame!
Oh yeah! But what's puzzlin' me is their arrogant lack of shame!
Ah, yeah!...Go out and get 'em, boys!!

(kewl guitar jammin')

Please believe me, Slick's tyrants are to blame.
Oh yeah! But what's important now is imprisonin' Bill in chains!!!
'Cuz the Prez'dent's just a criminal...and all his critics Saints!
While I could call Slick "Lucifer," I'll exhibit some restraint!
When you see Slick, show due courtesy...
But have no sympathy, 'cuz Bill's a snake!
Condemn all his corrupt politics, or be ashamed to show your face!!

Pleased to meet you...Mudboy Slim's my name!
Uhm, yeah! Bringin' Clinton down is why I must serenade.
Uhmm, I mean it...Get out...Yeehah...Resign!...Get on out, BOY! Ah, yeah!

Tell you Country, Lib'rals are their name.
Tell you, voters, it's something you can change!
Tell us, Willie, where's your shame?!
Tell you one thing, Slick's to blame!!
Ooh Hoo! Ooh Hoo! Wahoo! Alright! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ah yeah!

"The Attack on the Western Tradition"
06/01/2023
David Gordon
[This article is adapted from a lecture delivered at the Reno Mises
Circle in Reno, Nevada. on May 20, 2023.]

We are faced today with a concentrated attack on the great thinkers of the Western tradition, who are dismissed as “dead white European males.” Robert Nozick used to say that what offended him most in this phrase was the word “dead.” It’s not nice to beat up on people who can’t fight back because they are no longer here! But the attack I’m talking about is no joke. A free society depends on certain principles, and Western thinkers played a major role in their development, though they have counterparts in other civilizations as well. And there is something even more essential. In order to find out about the principles of a free society, we need to think. We must use our reason. But reason is under attack by the “woke” crowd, who dismiss rational thought as just the expression of class prejudice. The ideas of those who shaped the Western tradition are dismissed because they come from a “privileged” class or sex. There is no attempt to examine these ideas analytically.

Ludwig von Mises describes the phenomenon I’ve just been talking about in Human Action:

In the eyes of the Marxians the Ricardian theory of comparative cost is spurious because Ricardo was a bourgeois. The German racists condemn the same theory because Ricardo was a Jew, and the German nationalists because he was an Englishman. Some German professors advanced all these three arguments together against the validity of Ricardo's teachings. However, it is not enough to reject a theory wholesale by unmasking the background of its author.

In this talk, I’m going to give examples of Western thinkers who supported reason and concepts vital to a free society and show how they have been attacked for doing so. As we all know, Aristotle was the founder of logic. Without the tools which he developed, it would be impossible for us to think in a self-consciously rational way. As Robin Smith notes in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,

Aristotle’s logical works contain the earliest formal study of logic that we have. It is therefore all the more remarkable that together they comprise a highly developed logical theory, one that was able to command immense respect for many centuries: Kant, who was ten times more distant from Aristotle than we are from him, even held that nothing significant had been added to Aristotle’s views in the intervening two millennia.

Murray Rothbard based his natural law ethics on Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. He says in The Ethics of Liberty:

In natural-law philosophy, then, reason is not bound, as it is in modern post-Humean philosophy, to be a mere slave to the passions, confined to cranking out the means to arbitrarily chosen ends. For the ends themselves are selected by the use of reason; and “right reason” dictates to man his proper ends as well as the means to their attainment.

I don’t suggest that there has been no progress in logic or ethics beyond Aristotle. But his ideas deserve to be treated with respect. But here is what Agnes Callard, a philosophy professor at the University of Chicago, has to say about him. To be fair to her, she does not want to cancel him:

The Greek philosopher Aristotle did not merely condone slavery, he defended it; he did not merely defend it, but defended it as beneficial to the slave. His view was that some people are, by nature, unable to pursue their own good, and best suited to be ‘living tools’ for use by other people: “The slave is a part of the master, a living but separated part of his bodily frame.”

Aristotle’s anti-liberalism does not stop there. He believed that women were incapable of authoritative decision making. And he decreed that manual laborers, despite being neither slaves nor women, were nonetheless prohibited from citizenship or education in his ideal city. . . . His inegalitarianism runs deep.

Aristotle thought that the value or worth of a human being — his virtue — was something that he acquired in growing up. It follows that people who can’t (women, slaves) or simply don’t (manual laborers) acquire that virtue have no grounds for demanding equal respect or recognition with those who do.

As I read him, Aristotle not only did not believe in the conception of intrinsic human dignity that grounds our modern commitment to human rights, he has a philosophy that cannot be squared with it. Aristotle’s inegalitarianism is less like Kant and Hume’s racism and more like Descartes’s views on nonhuman animals: The fact that Descartes characterizes nonhuman animals as soulless automata is a direct consequence of his rationalist dualism. His comments on animals cannot be treated as “stray remarks.”

If cancellation is removal from a position of prominence on the basis of an ideological crime, it might appear that there is a case to be made for canceling Aristotle. He has much prominence: Thousands of years after his death, his ethical works continue to be taught as part of the basic philosophy curriculum offered in colleges and universities around the world.

And Aristotle’s mistake was serious enough that he comes off badly even when compared to the various “bad guys” of history who sought to justify the exclusion of certain groups — women, Black people, Jews, gays, atheists — from the sheltering umbrella of human dignity. Because Aristotle went so far as to think there was no umbrella.

The reason she doesn’t want to cancel Aristotle is that we can learn something from him if we take what he says literally and try to grasp an alien pattern of thought. The idea that he was substantially right is not one she is prepared to entertain. And then are many who go further, and downgrade the classical world altogether.

The philosopher Lewis R. Gordon is one of these. He wants to get rid of the notion of the Greeks as the founders of philosophy. In Decolonizing Philosophy, he says,

“Ancient Greeks,” for instance, is a construction that gained much currency in the French and German Enlightenment to refer to ancient Greek-speaking peoples of the Mediterranean. Those people included northern Africans, western Asians, and southern peoples of what later became known as Europe. As the presumption is that the earliest practice of philosophy was among the ancient peoples of Miletus (today in western Turkey) and Athens, the term acquired a near sacred association with the ancient city-states of Greek-speaking peoples, a group of whom referred to themselves as Hellenic. Understanding that the Hellens [sic] were but one set among other Greek-speaking peoples to have emerged in antiquity reveals the fallacy. It is as if to call English-speaking peoples of the present "English." The confusion should be evident. A product of Euromodern imagination, with a series of empires laying claim to the coveted metonymic intellectual identity for posterity, Ancient Greeks stand as a supposed "miracle" from which a hitherto dark and presumably intellectually limited humanity fell sway to what eventually became, through Latin, "civilization."

Gordon’s point is that the Hellenes were only one of the Greek-speaking peoples of the Mediterranean. But it doesn’t follow from this that the others were philosophers too, unless they engaged in rational argument. Gordon doesn’t show that they did. Instead, he says that deductive reasoning is overrated. ..."

"Opposing Critical Race Theory Doesn't Make You a 'White Supremacist'">
06/02/2023
Julian Adorney

Kimberlé Crenshaw, one of the founders of critical race theory (CRT), recently decried what she called the “war on wokeness” (by which she seems to mean a war on CRT). According to her, this “war on wokeness” is “the road to an authoritarian state that’s paved through the history of white supremacy.” It’s true that the “war on wokeness” has taken on authoritarian overtones of late. Many Republicans are rejecting the ideas of pluralism and free speech that underpin the American ideal and pushing through broad laws aimed at banning the teachings of CRT. In their desire to stop “wokeness,” these laws often muzzle dissenters and are so broadly written that they can throw the baby out with the bathwater. Free speech advocates have roundly condemned these laws and for good reason.

But it’s also true that critical race theory has serious problems. You don’t have to be a “white supremacist” or trying to promote an “authoritarian state” to be skeptical of CRT. First, prominent critical race theorists (“Crits” as they call themselves) lean hard into race essentialism. In their book Is Everyone Really Equal?, Özlem Sensoy and Robin DiAngelo (of White Fragility fame) lay out some quotations that they disagree with. One such quotation is, “People should be judged by what they do, not the color of their skin.” Sensoy and DiAngelo dismiss this idea as “predictable, simplistic, and misinformed.”

It’s tough to overstate how inimical this concept is to modern-day American values. Martin Luther King Jr. famously proclaimed, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” For Sensoy and DiAngelo, this dream is “misinformed.”

In another section, Sensoy and DiAngelo list traits (allegedly) held by members of the “dominant group” in society (white people, straight people, men, etc.) and contrast them with traits they claim are held by members of “minoritized groups” (black people, LGBTQ folks, women, etc.). Traits held by the dominant group include “presumptuous, does not listen, interrupts, raises voice, bullies, threatens violence, becomes violent.”

Traits held by the minority group include “feels inappropriate, awkward, doesn’t trust perception . . . finds it difficult to speak up, timid.” For Sensoy and DiAngelo, members of the majority group are angry bullies who don’t care about anyone except themselves, and minorities are timid children who can’t speak up or look after themselves. Is it any wonder that many minorities find this kind of rhetoric offensive?

A second reason to oppose CRT is that many Crits don’t admit that society can ever really get better. In the book Critical Race Theory: An Introduction, Richard Delgado (another founder of CRT) and Jean Stefancic argue that American race relations don’t improve. They call many of the civil rights gains of the 1950s and 1960s—including Brown v. Board, the landmark Supreme Court case that desegregated schools across the country—“shams.” According to the authors, these gains are merely “hollow pronouncements issued with great solemnity and fanfare, only to be silently ignored, cut back, or withdrawn when the celebrations die down.”

For Delgado and Stefancic, meaningful social change is almost impossible. Unless all of society changes at once, “change is swallowed up by the remaining elements, so that we remain roughly as we were before.” This is an ideology that has little room for the gains of the Civil Rights Movement or the dramatic decrease in bigotry in the sixty years since. A foundational American story is that our society is imperfect but getting better, but CRT only has room for the first half of that statement.

Finally, critical race theory is explicitly opposed to the Enlightenment ideals upon which America was founded. Sensoy and DiAngelo say that CRT initially advocated “a type of liberal humanism (individualism, freedom, and peace)” but stress that it “quickly turned to a rejection of liberal humanism.” Values such as freedom and individualism are, apparently, not particularly welcome in Crit circles. According to Delgado and Stefancic, “Critical Race Theory questions the very foundations of the liberal order.” CRT is opposed to “equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law.” If you want the law to treat people equally regardless of their immutable characteristics (i.e., race, gender), then, by their founders’ own admission, CRT is not for you.

Critical race theory isn’t all bad, and there are concepts like intersectionality that can help us to recognize the struggles and advantages of people who don’t look like us. But the field has deep problems, and more and more Americans of all ethnicities are picking up on this. Maligning critics as “white supremacists” is unlikely to fix those problems.

CRT is a Marxist LIE...MUD

"Black VII"

"Billy the Kid"
(To be sung to Billy Joel's "Billy the Kid")

From a town known as Little Rock in the Ozarks,
Strode a boy with ambition without end.
His ruthless political climb made him a legend in his mind,
But his Quest fer Power required cash to spend!

So, he swindled a bank with Jim McDougald,
With his partner's young wife into bed he slid!
His prestige and his lies took that Hick State by surprise,
The word spread fast 'bout Billy the Kid!
Well, he never followed their rules, 'cuz the White House was his goal,
And he soon put many finer pols to shame.
But Slick never had a conscience, and he never had a soul,
Still Dem Lib'rals and the Medyuh hailed his name!
Secured illegal funds from Unions and Red China,
But Ken Starr could not seem to track him down,
And Bill served his masters well, 'cuz the Left they're dumb as Hell,
'Specially when Billy the Kid came aroun'.

Well, one fine day those scandals ensnared Billy,
America said, "String him up for what he did!!"
And the voters and their kids, finally started tuning in,
To watch the Re-Impeachment of Billy the Kid!
Well, he never thought they'd catch him, Slick's Arrogance let him down,
Eventually, even DemocRATZ cursed his name!
Though he never cared for Freedom, Clinton finally found a home,
Within a Federal Prison, Slick bears his shame...

From a town somewhere in mid-America,
Watched a child aspiring to understand,
And Slick's Politics of Slime proved an example for his time,
As History scorned that crooked man!

"Mike Rowe On Mission to Reverse Devaluing Skilled Trades"
By Salena Zito
Tuesday, 06 June 2023 09:50 AM

A few months ago, Mike Rowe stumbled upon a 2011 video of himself speaking in front of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee during the Obama administration about the mindset of government toward skilled trades. His argument was that skilled trades were the key to saving our economy, not those jobs that require a four- year degree. His argument fell on deaf ears.

So he went again in April of 2014, this time testifying before the House Committee on Natural Resources to discuss the opportunities for skilled trade workers in the energy industry. This time he brought props, specifically the poster his guidance counselor from high school pointed to when he tried to bully Rowe into picking a high-priced university over a community college his senior year. Rowe said he had nothing against college, but the universities his counselor recommended were expensive.

"I had no idea what I wanted to study. I thought a community college made more sense, but Mr. Dunbar said a two-year school was 'beneath my potential,'" explained Rowe. "Mr. Dunbar pointed to a poster hanging behind his desk; on one side of the poster was a beaten-down, depressed- looking blue-collar worker. On the other side was an optimistic college graduate with his eyes on the horizon. Underneath them, the text read: Work Smart NOT Hard," Rowe told the committee. "Mike, look at these two guys," Mr. Dunbar said. "Which one do you want to be?"

"I had to read the caption twice. Work Smart NOT Hard?" Rowe recounted. The visual was jarring, not to mention insulting, yet once again, nothing happened.

Rowe made his final plea to Congress in March of 2017 when he once again schlepped to Capitol Hill, this time for the House Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education. He discussed how Career and Technical Education (CTE) can help close the skills gap and empower students to succeed, and he stressed the need to reform the current law. His message was simple: Career and technical education, and skilled trade professions, need a PR makeover and a champion. "If you want to make America great again, you've got to make work cool again," he said. "So, my point to Congress was we just have to get people to think differently about the definition of a good job. And we need to put better examples of real people out there who are prospering as the result of learning a trade," he said.

"We just shot seven or eight PSAs a couple months ago with people who we helped through the trade scholarship fund at the foundation. HVAC workers, plumbers, welders, all making six figures, and I am going to put these PSAs out there in the same spirit of those ads that made people think differently about conservation, and we are going to make people think differently about work," he said.

The spots are pitch perfect. The first one with Chloe Hudson begins with Rowe dispelling the notion that you cannot make six figures working with your hands. It then cuts to Hudson, a welder who received a work ethic scholarship from mikeroweWORKS and went on to earn six figures a year, talking about the beauty of her life. "I'm going to raise whatever I have to, I'm going to spend whatever I have to get these examples front and center. So that's what I've got. In a way, it's nothing new. In another way, it's me finally saying, 'Look, this was a good idea 10 years ago, and why not me?' I'll do it. I'm going to do it," Rowe says with his characteristic charm that has endeared him to millions for more than 20 years.

Rowe said people really need to acknowledge the "unspeakable stupidity" of taking shop classes out of high schools 40 years ago. "The unintended consequences of that alone have been unraveling in ways that's just mind-boggling. We effectively removed from view an entire category of vocations," he said. "In the long history of stupidity, you'd have to go a long way to find something dumber than universally removing shop class from high school. But of course, at the same time we did that, we started telling that same generation of kids that the best path for the most people was the most expensive path," he said of the idea that higher education is the only path to success.

Which brings Rowe to wonder: Were they intentionally telling students who went into trades that they were achieving lower education? It should make us wonder as well: Who did these decision-makers think was going to take care of their plumbing, fix their car, install their air conditioning, repair their furnace or rewire their house?

Rowe said he knows he is not going to open the eyes of the varsity blues crowd. "I can't. They're not persuadable. But there are a lot of people in the middle, a lot of people that just want to feel better about the possibility of exploring a career. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take my own advice. I'm going to stop telling Congress what to do, and I'm going to do it myself," he said.

"Black VIII"

"FRiends of Slick Willie"
(To be sung to the Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil")

We abhor Butch Reno...and we'll take Slick Willie down.
Honor 'tis to FReep fer Right 'til Big Guv'ment's not around.
Ya think I'm funnin' as I make my rhymes...
But friends of Slick Willie ain't no FRiends of mine!!
Leftist HO's defend Slick's Blight...
TREASON's why we FReep tonigh-ight!!

Clinton is Pure Evil, knaves...Slick snowed Dem-Medyuh shills!!
Cowed the Right from action...let's be Brave and DETHRONE Bill!!
Future's Sunny, but we'll first smite Slime...
No friend of Bill Clinton is a FRiend of mine!!
Leftists know Clinton's not Right...
Justice's why we FReep...tonigh-ight!!

I drove on up to DeeCee...brain-dead Lib'rals fought me there.
Took my hard-earned dollar bill but I vanquished their PUNK, Terry.
Think I'm funnin' but I know what's Right...
DemFriends of Bill Clinton shall be Doin' Time!!
I set goals...ain't 'fraid ta Fight...
Justice's why I FReep tonigh-ight!!!

Got two reasons why I stay awake each lonely night.
The first one's named Sweet Liberty and she's my heart's delight.
Second one is Justice, Willie, Ol' Mudboy's on yer tail!!
And when MUD catches up with you, you'll spend yer life in jail!!

Gotta wife and children, Slick, but yer thugs shan't cow me!!!
Broaddrick says Slick raped her, Tom, but Brokaw said, "BITE ME!!!"
Lib'rals' Love Him, but I think Slick's SLIME!!
No friend of Slick Willie shall be FRiends o' mine.
I set goals, ain't 'fraid ta fight...
Justice's why MUD FReeps tonight!!!

(BigMan on guitar, Fireman John on mandolin...justa cookin'!!)

Got two reasons why I FReep away each doggone night.
The first one's named Sweet Liberty, my God, I know I'm Right!!
Second one is Justice, Terry, MUD knows yer Sordid Tale...
And when Truth catches up with you, you'll spend yer life in jail!!

Gotta wife and children, Bill, and you got Hillary...
Chelsea knows she's not yer child, Webb Hubbell's genes flow free.
Think I'm funnin' but Slick's arse is mine!!
No friend of Bill Clinton, boy, Justice Be Thine!!
Bill can roam...but Slick can't hide!!
Justice makes MUD FReep fer Righ-ight!!

Guilty associates, True Justice requires BIDENZ Crimes be shown!!

They're lasses that hide from conflict...they waste the air that they breathe...
Good Patriots lead again!!!
