The past four nights of racial violence across the country have proven one thing: the egalitarian experiment of America is dead. Liberalism of all shades is a scam. Diversity is not our strength and utopian “reconciliation” is not possible. As my friend Boyd Cathey wrote, “No nation can continue this way for long, no nation can avoid the essential questions and the ironclad laws of Nature itself.”
What started out as a protest against the use of alleged excessive police force against a black man has ended in the burning, looting, and lynching of “legacy” Americans, their property, history, and symbols. Make no mistake: these were race riots, not the “white supremacist” variety the enemy-class media is trying to sell you, but the black-against-white kind with Bolshevik subversives helping to orchestrate the chaos and foment the rage.
“Legacy” Americans are those who have and/or appreciate an ethnic, cultural, or political connection to the Founding stock of these United States. Many of us are white descendants of Western Europeans and are Christian, and have a respect for individual liberty and a favorable view of our ancestors. Those of us who are Southern without apology know this campaign against our values has been a long war of conquest and reconstruction, over 150 years, to be exact. This is why “neo-Confederate” is the new ad hominem attack.
And who are the post-modern Bolsheviks? The cultural Marxists who run our institutions: academia, media, government, banking, and even many of our churches. Hell, they’re dog catcher, president of your HOA and PTA and everything in between. Who are their Brown Shirts, their new NKDV: Antifa. And who are their foot soldiers: the racist black vanguard of BLM and their mindless supporters.
The “protests” quickly evolved into looting and burning, with blacks taking out their aggression on their own communities, with Leninist Antifa allies slowly but surely participating in the chaos. But by the time we get to Saturday, May 30, we see something new.
We witnessed the destruction targeted specifically against what the Leninists see as “whiteness.” Historical monuments and buildings like the United Daughters of the Confederacy headquarters and the Virginia Museum of History and Culture in Richmond, whose burning was celebrated by the nonwhite iconoclast “historians” who revel in smashing Southern roots. The Market House in Fayetteville, which was the site of North Carolina’s Constitutional Convention in 1787 and the state capital from 1789 to 1793. The Nashville Courthouse and City Hall. The George Washington statue in Philadelphia. The King Louis XVI statue in Louisville. St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. And tonight, St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C. The mobsters are even so ignorant of history that they vandalized the historic Woolworth’s in Greensboro, which is considered the “birthplace” of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.
Remember the way Ice-T explained the Rodney King riots of ’92 when black folks destroyed their own neighborhoods in LA? He said it was like a child who’s angry and feels he cannot express himself or be heard so he breaks his own toys in order to communicate his frustration. But this paradigm has changed.
They’re coming to your neighborhood, they’re “coming to the suburbs next.” They’re coming to destroy your home and steal your property and punch you in the face. And if you fight back through legal means, you will be the one to get in trouble with “the law.”
It has a become an organized guerrilla war against anything the Leninists deem as theirs. You stole their land, cracker. You subjugated their people, whitey. It’s justice, yo. It’s about equity. Inclusion. Intersectionality. Social justice. But the kicker is you are never considered within those critical-theory equations. White people got work to do, don’t ya know?! Be a good “ally,” but shut your damn mouth.
Meanwhile, we’re supposed to simultaneously believe that the riots are led by “white supremacists” and that putting “black-owned business” signs on your store front will help save it from leftist annihilation. Even a child can see the inconsistency in this delusional narrative, which then, of course, begs the next obvious question: why should it be okay to loot and vandalize white-owned businesses? Better not go down that red-pilled rabbit hole or you might be called a hegemonic colonizer.
When “Grant” producer Leo DiCaprio’s house in Beverly Hills is visited upon by some angry social-justice warriors, I wonder if he will he defend himself (or have his paid armed security do it) or if he will cleanse his “ancestral sins” by handing over his life and property. Will the mob give him a pass because of his stereotyping of white Southerners in “Django Unchained,” or will they cut his throat because he’s white and embodies systemic racism? Not sure, but I can’t wait to find out.
Now I know I’m intertwining my Nazi and Soviet historical references. I understand full well that it was stamping out the spread of Communism that the Nazis gave as their reason for Kristallnacht. And I get that the Nazis and the Soviets were mortal enemies in WWII. I understand that the Germans blamed the Jews partly because of their disproportionate involvement in Marxist ideologies. I get that the Soviets waged a genocide of their own against the German people after WWII and with British and US complicity no less.
But to me, it’s all the same. Two sides of the same damn totalitarian coin. One was nation-statist and the other universalist, but both were built upon centralization. Both are godless. Both are aimed at destroying the Church and replacing it with worship of man-made utopian ideals. Both hate Christ.
I’ve been saying for a while that we are in a state of cold-Civil War. Well, folks, it just got hot. Violence against Southerners, whites, and Christians is now being justified as a legitimate course of action. And guess what? The laws and institutions that are supposed to protect us “legacy” Americans are incapable of countering the Communist pogroms. So much for “white privilege.”
Trump today just designated Antifa as a terrorist organization, but that’s too little too late. His “I’m monitoring the situation” attitude is what got us to this point in the first place. In order to resist this onslaught, one would have to be honest with the racial component of the hatred directed against us. We’re castigated as “white supremacists” while never reaping the supposed benefits of this media-manufactured mythos.
Someone, somewhere, besides us “neo-Confederates,” must speak up for white people and their businesses and property and history when it’s targeted simply because it’s been deemed by leftists as a symbol of “whiteness” and “black oppression.” Unfortunately, far too many Americans, including our president, politicians, pastors, and fellow parishioners are petrified of being labeled as “racists” to ever address this truth.
What do we do? First, we proceed in as Christ-like a manner as is possible. We little-o orthodox Christians define ourselves by what we love. We pray for the repentance and salvation of our enemies, but we don’t abdicate our responsibilities to cherish and protect those closest to us.
As my priest told me on August 13, 2017, Christianity is not a suicide pact. Unlike the cultural Marxists who’ve cobbled together a cabal of disparate identities which are allied only in their unbridled hatred of the “evil white Christian Southerner,” we need to organize around our love for Christ and His people. We love Christ above all.
Our families and our communities come next. They are a manifestation of our adoration of His forgiveness, grace, and care for us. Don’t be afraid to openly defend and advocate for your people. Do it in Church. Do it in your homeschool co-ops. Do it on social media. Do it without apology. It is the most reconciling and healing thing you could do.
Start talking with your friends and families about how best to go about protecting each other in a time of emergency. We need to face the reality that the politicians and police cannot be relied upon to be there when we need them. This is the “new normal,” so let’s rip off our masks, both literal and figurative, and start being authentic Christians, authentic neighbors, authentic humans. It’s time to get real.
Lastly, I know many of us have an affinity for the police and military. But to my friends and family who are in law enforcement under elites who would rather have you bend the knee to Antifa and BLM for their own personal political expediency than uphold civil order, I say this: walk away. Encourage your colleagues to do likewise.
You know the game is rigged. If you enforce the law, you’ll be called a racist, even if you’re not white. And if your city burns despite your best efforts doing your job under inconsistent directives and in untenable times, your bosses will throw you under the bus in a heart beat. You are expendable to the commissars. These politicians and this corrupt society don’t deserve you.
Let the dirty tyrants defend themselves from the godless monsters they themselves helped create and continue to coddle. Let them meet their fate just like Trotsky.
Go home to your families. Go home to your Churches. Rally around your people because that is what really matters. Let’s smash the Bolshevik narrative and tell the Brown Shirts they can stick Kristallnacht where the sun don’t shine.
Post Script: Historian Philip Leigh writes, “No doubt many of you are as angry as me about the outrages to the United Daughters of the Confederacy building in Richmond over the weekend. As a result, I am pledging to donate half ($10) of the $20 purchase price for my book “Ulysses Grant’s Failed Presidency.” To learn how postbellum Reconstruction failed and left much of the South struggling economically for a century afterward, it is important to understand how Grant failed in the White House despite the many favorable biographies about him in recent years.”
To take advantage of this charitable offer, email Leigh at Phil_Leigh@me.com and let him know if you want your copy of the book signed or not. You may pay by check, PayPal, or credit card, and domestic shipping is free.
The fiery ladies of the UDC are our allies, compatriots in the cause for the preservation of heritage, tradition, and Southern history. They are some of the few keepers of the flame for legacy America. Please let these warrior Southern belles feel the love that few others are willing to offer them.

Paradigms a-shiftin’!
I was speaking to a friend after church yesterday afternoon, and expressing my belief that far too many of us are still far too comfortable, thus making the “COVID Crisis” into a bigger bogey man than it is. We’ve lost any real notion of real sacrifice, real suffering, real pain.
That’s changing.
I was thinking Great Depression 2.0 when we spoke yesterday, but real violence against real people whom you know, in places you know, indeed, maybe coming to a neighbourhood near you (even your own!), will rip the masks off of the COVID Crisis, both literally and figuratively.
We’d all do well to perform a thorough, no-kidding, threat assessment, cuz Reality STILL don’t give a rat’s hind quarters how you or I FEEL about it!
Yep. And church folk are the most delusional of all. Seriously, I’m beginning to the think it won’t be some blue-haired feminist, godless “anti-fascist,” or black-power revolutionary leading me to the gulag: it will be a fellow Christian. Talk about change and discomfort. Oy vey.
I read this from Dr. Tom Woods over at Lew Rockwell yesterday, referring to the reactions we’re hearing from the riots, including among church leaders:
I am hearing plenty of this: look, sure, it’s bad that some people are destroying businesses and stealing what other people worked for, but they’re really angry. On some level you have to sympathize with them.
Nope. I don’t.
“I have suffered; therefore, other innocents should suffer” — which of the saints lived by such a monstrous code?
If your child is mistreated and takes his frustration out on my child by randomly beating the hell out of him, I will not gaslight my child by explaining that what happened is sort of understandable on some level.
Preach it, Brother Woods!
My denomination has a significant strain of this gaslighting tendency, and I’m done with it! If some wish to engage in self flagellation over their supposed white guilt, they can knock themselves out! Whatever butters their biscuit!
Me? This is Jefferson Davis’s birthday as well as the traditional Confederate Memorial Day here in Tennessee. I’m planting Third Nat’l Confederate flags on some of my ancestors’ graves. One served in the 1st Tennessee at Murfreesboro, the other two at one time rode with Gen’l Forrest. I’ll not be shamed! I’ll not be gaslighted!
Tom nailed it! Thanks for the heads-up on one of the few sane Christians remaining.
May God bless you, your kin, and your ancestors. I pray you all have a peaceful and happy Decoration Day!
It was a fine day for it!
Both sides of my family are from the area once known as The Land Between the Rivers, prior to TVA stealing folks’ land and turning part of it into Land Between the Lakes (but that’s for another rant!), so in my travels to my ancestors’ graves, I was able to include stops at Ft. Donelson and on up to the Jefferson Davis Memorial in Fairview, KY. The Ft. Donelson Visitor Center was closed for remodeling/repair (which is fair, since it’s the same one my parents took me to back in 1968!), but also for COVID. The Davis memorial/birthplace site, not suprisingly, was closed for COVID as well. In both cases, I was concerned about there being vandalism and other foolishness, but was relieved to see none of that had happened.
I would love to hear your TVA rant some time.
Davis was such a brilliant man. We visited his grave at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond a few years ago. I’m sure the Bolsheviks will be disinterring him and burning his corpse soon enough. His prescience and wisdom must be erased, or else some people might start thinking.

The left have created a wonderful system for themselves. To speak against them is “violence.” Yet their actual violence is “expression.” I will not elaborate on what I think needs to be done to stop all of this. I will say were I a general waging a defensive war, I would say that the enemy has shown himself in the streets of our cities and is prime for destruction….unfortunately, most Americans are still under the illusion that most of these people are just “upset and in need of an outlet to vent.” I can’t help but wonder if they will feel that way when they are dragged from their homes and killed by the mobs of people they continue to defend? The world is turned upside down.
A good raping and pillaging may wake up the normies, but probably not. They are simply too programmed for intellectual growth. I feel like my life is a 24-hour bad acid trip.
“Two sides of the same damn totalitarian coin”
Most certainly. They are both offspring of the Jacobins, representing the worst of the evils born of the Enlightenment. Both are what you’d call central planners. I would call both of them socialist as well. I like to think that Hitler was to the Right of Stalin, but certainly further Left than Bernie Sanders. Also the differences between national and international socialism were not so meaningful. The Soviet energies were first and foremost expended in the service of Mother Russia. They were every bit as nationalist as the Nazis. Both of course were enemies of Christ, and any other meaningful allegiance outside of the State. I’m sure I’m not saying anything here you don’t already know; I’m just bolstering your case.
“Go home to your families. Go home to your Churches. Rally around your people because that is what really matters.”
Yes. This is surely what it will take to bring about freedom, justice, and sanity once again.
The only thing I would add is that the Bolsheviks co-opted love of the motherland to perpetuate their foreign Western ideology on the masses. It was good propaganda that worked with some Russians, but not so much for the non-Russian peoples within the Soviet bloc. This is why today there’s so much anti-Russian sentiment in that part of the world because even they equate Russia with Soviet. That’s truly sad because to me, the Russians were the biggest victims of Communism – again a foreign religion that came to crush everything that made Russia Russian (borders, culture, faith, traditions, etc). This same kind of co-opting is what is happening in America. Many people love their country and their homes, their ideals and their history, but they equate that with love of government. But nothing holds us together as “a people,” other than our “civic religion,” which happens to be burning around us at the moment. Thems the break when an empire falls.
