Livin' The Legacy Opens in Nashville, Indiana

We're glad to announce that Indiana now has a store which specializes in offering quality products which honor God and promote both Southern pride and Western roots. In addition to their store in downtown Nashville, Indiana, Livin' The Legacy offers hundreds of their books, clothes, gift items, and flags at their online store.

Livin The Legacy

To keep things simple for me, I'll now be offering my book, Hoosier Nation, exclusively at Livin' The Legacy. The web-based edition will remain free and online at this site, but printed copies will only be available at both their walk-in and online stores. If you're serious about supporting businesses which embrace and support traditional conservative and authentically American principles, this is your chance!

Four Arrested in Triple Slaying

That's no fewer than seven off the street in a single incident!

And all over a stolen PlayStation...

Police said the shooting was connected to an earlier fistfight outside the apartment in which Cawthon and Brooks, who were brothers, fought Anthony Barron, 21, about a PlayStation that Cawthon allegedly stole from the apartment.

It's hard out there for a pimp with pre-existing medical conditions...

 

During the fight, Brooks suffered a seizure and was taken to the Methodist Hospital. He left the hospital before being formally discharged, and McGaw came to the apartment later to see whether he was all right, according to the report.

Shortly afterward, the suspects drove to the apartment in a gray Pontiac Grand Prix with the rifle in the back, the report said. Nathaniel Utley hid it in his clothing when they went to the apartment and were let in, according to the report.

How do you hide a rifle in your clothing? Those must have been some baggy clothes!

Police said they have solved 39 of 47 criminal homicides this year, a rate of 82 percent, compared with the usual national rate of 6- percent to 65 percent.

A tip of the hat to the IMPD!

RE: Spotlight on Public Prayer

Michael Wallack, a contributor to the Indianapolis Star, has come out in support of the federal court's injunction against a school-sponsored prayer at Greenwood High School with his recent opinion piece, Spotlight on Public Prayer. While I'm not a constitutional scholar, it seems that the basic argument is an argument from authority. Decades of judicial activism have paid off for his people in the form of a massive and growing body of legal precedents supporting their anti-Christian and anti-American ideology.

At the heart of his argument is that...

Michael WallackAll the court rulings did was to remind us that the government cannot sponsor prayer, as doing so falls within the prohibitions of the establishment clause. These rulings have no impact upon the free exercise clause, because people remain absolutely free to practice their individual religions; they simply cannot look to the government to promote or endorse their religion or prayer.

For those who are a bit rusty on their American history, the establishment clause is the section of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights shown in bold...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It pretty plainly states that Congress shall make no law about it. Now, if a person were really eager to delude himself into thinking that "Congress" really means "the entire government from the President down through the school board", he could declare that this sweeping intent was maybe implied. However, the Tenth Amendment erases all doubt on precisely how much power the federal government has to interfere with the religious expression of the states...

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This is why we need to take judicial politics seriously. With each passing generation, we amass a larger and larger pile of warped and twisted legal precedent strangulating the simple, direct, and Christian ideals of our once-great republic. Yesterday's aberrational ruling in favor of abortion is today's precedent. Today's nomination of Elena Kagan will assuredly lead to more of these, which some future opinion contributor at some future newspaper will use to win an argument.

He closes with a few questions I'll attempt to answer...

  • Why does your religious observance require public prayer?
Just as Jews integrate their religious beliefs into their daily lives and important events, Christian Americans wish to do and have a right to do so, as well. Communities and religious groups have a right to determine their way of life.
  • Why is prayer in your home and place of worship insufficient?
We're communities of Christians who founded a nation in which our federal Congress has been stripped of the right to deny us our religious expression. Unfortunately, sophistry and pressure has allowed this to become subverted, perverted, and inverted so that what was initially designed to protect religious communities is being used as a weapon to stifle them. We wish to worship in public and as a community, not as atheists and messianic multiculturalists at schools and other local institutions that belong to us.
  • And why do you need the government - our government - to support your religious efforts?
I'll make you a deal. If the Israeli government agrees to stop defending the Jewish people and their Jewish faith, we'll see that our government stops defending Christian Americans and our Christian faith. Let's couple those things. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Tea Party Success!

Hoosier Nation represented Traditional Conservatism at the Tax Day Tea Party in downtown Indianapolis. We passed out hundreds of newsletters, brochures, and business cards to legions of motivated and receptive Hoosiers. We'll be uploading video of our participation in the event within the next few days.

If you're visiting this site because you learned about us at the rally, we encourage you to review our Statement of Principles, read our free Hoosier Nation e-book which explains what we're about, and contact us to tell us what you think. If you like what you see and you're tired of the hamster wheel of mainstream Red Team / Blue Team politics, join the CofCC and help us Take It Back!

America Besieged!

There's an overwhelming amount of data supporting race realism and confirming that our interests are innately White racial interests. Despite our being few in number, we can point to an impressive library of research, analysis, and political theory supporting our worldview. Unfortunately, most investigators just end up overwhelmed. The movement would benefit greatly from a project which brings it all together into a simple and persuasive survey of the major facts, figures, and arguments for White Advocacy.

Ideally, it would be free for anybody to view and download, filled with links for people to follow up on specific issues, and loaded with images, charts, tables, and lists. It should be easily readable by anybody with a high school education, like a "White Nationalism for Dummies". I've read an early draft of America Besieged! and I believe it's all that and more.

America Besieged!

Here's an introduction from the workgroup...

The first volume is now available in draft form at Hoosier Nation.  We are asking for everyone to download it, read it through, and offer suggestions and comments.  What needs to be improved?  What problems are there?  The more feedback the better, dont pull any punches, just fire away with any and all commentary.  The end goal is a book that any normal person, even grandma and mom, can read without being scared off or offended, which will clue him or her in on the most important information every White American should know.  So at this time, please download and read through it, and ask those you know to do the same (especially those you are trying to persuade to become White Nationalists).  For all passages that you see as problematic, write them down and write a suggested fix in the website comments.  If you have other great articles, pithy statements or photos/illustrations, forward them along also.  Everything will be read, carefully examined, and greatly appreciated.  We are hoping to create the definitive introduction to WN here, and want to create a very high-quality work, so your comments are essential.

This is part of a broader effort by multiple workgroups to educate and inform a wider audience. We hope to develop an online study program that would be like a virtual book club. We hope to add more materials. According to the workgroup, this is only the first volume. The second volume will address the Jewish Question and other more advanced and controversial issues. If you have some time to set aside, help them by downloading and reading the draft and offering your comments on its progress.

It's Time to Have a Conversation

Dozens of activists from around the state gathered in Martinsville on Saturday to raise awareness of the exhibition of Craig Bodeker's documentary, "A Conversation about Race". The exposition will be followed by an opportunity for attendees to have an actual conversation. This is my attempt, at that event, to challenge the American people to an open exchange of ideas.

A Conversation About Race

The Abundant Life Fellowship in Morgantown will be hosting Craig Boedeker's excellent documentary: A Conversation About Race. They will follow it up with an open-mic opportunity for the public to share their thoughts on racial issues in America. This is a great opportunity to turn Attorney General Eric Holder's attempt to preach and call it a conversation into a genuine conversation - one in which all our voices are heard. They will also be hosting a rally at the courthouse in Martinsville to raise awareness of the event.

IndyStar Shoots Down Hoosier Gun Rights

Back before newspapers had websites with comments, people had to just assume that they were alone in having some sense. Now we can finally enjoy the reactions of other readers and can confirm without a doubt: The Indianapolis Star is laughably out of touch with its readership. They would rather brainwash into bankruptcy than be profitable advocates for Hoosiers. They want to flood our state with hostile third world invaders, assign the remaining jobs according to a racial quota system that puts us at the back of the line, and then take away our right to defend ourselves from the chaos they unleash.

Hoosiers Helping Hindus

We passionate populist types can get carried away. We've even been known to accuse politicians of being bought by the international bankers, of being agents of foreign governments, and of being carpetbaggers. In Dan Coat's case, these are all true, except for the carpetbagger thing. To be a carpetbagger, you have to actually move to the area in question. Since you didn't really move back to Indiana, you're not a carpetbagger, Dan.

 

Dan Coats is terrible on immigration.

Dan Coats is terrible on big government.

Dan Coats is terrible on neocon foreign policy.

Dan Coats is assuming that the same suckers who settled for Bayh and Lugar for year after year will come back for more abuse. Bayh had the good instincts to know what's coming for Washington insiders and dove for cover, but Dan's been too lost in lobbying land to realize what he's up against. He's been too busy lobbying to send American money and jobs to India to know which way the wind blows in Indiana.
