Opinions/Editorials Title: Mark Ames: Why the American Right Never Liked V.S. Naipaul 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.

Right-wing degenerates. And they’re not even interesting degenerates anymore, the way some Right-wingers used to be. They just scream a lot. Scream and bang a stick on the ground–and at the end of the stick-banging, they go to pick up their checks from their billionaire sponsors. Interesting piece.
#2. To: lucysmom (#1) boring. trite. tired.
#4. To: Badeye (#2) Perfect epitaph, Boof...

#11. To: Badeye, Godwinson, buckeroo, Fred Mertz, Ferret Mike, go65, meguro, minningold, lucysmom, sneakypete (#8) (Edited) Perfect epitaph, ------. Fuck you And why I no longer CHOOSE to post here has been underscored - as I knew it would be. Boofer posts my name...I post his. My post gets edited. His does not. Fuck this place. Stone talking about "Free Speech" is just that...talk. Nice site this has devolved into, Stone. The longest thread is the detritus of LP moronically goading Bucky over what EVERYONE knows is Yukon's self-outing. FWIW, the downward spiral to full auger started when you let Tull come here and bully you.
#13. To: war (#11) Where did badeye use your name. I don't believe you. Your fist post back I see is fuck you __________. I almost wacked you again last night when I saw that.
#31. To: A K A Stone (#13) (Edited)
Wowee-Zowee … I know that just had to scare the bejesus outta him. That lick and a promise surely did a great bang-up job bring him back in line. You react like the kid saying “I hit you second.” ROTFL …
#45. To: Gatlin (#31) (Edited) Yea...it left me...reeling... [snicker]
#55. To: war (#45) Yea...it left me...reeling... LOL! Firing blanks in frightening only until it is realized they are blanks. You didn't even blink ... you iron nerved one!
#56. To: Gatlin, We The People (#55) Speaking of "frightening" ... I saw how you LP Kloughns attempted to pick on WTP on LP. Another epic failure. Oh and EVEN MORE EPIC FAILURES.... your abuse of "Beyond the Sea" as though because he has remained quiet about your butt-boy, "yukon" that you surmise he is somehow "GUILTY" ... too much fun watching WTP wrap you boys around "yukon" exit holes.
#58. To: buckeroo (#56) Speaking of "frightening" ... I saw how you LP Kloughns attempted to pick on WTP on LP. weeps and beyond the sea spanked the yukons like rented mules,
#62. To: calcon (#58) Now, the LP Kloughns have turned on YOU over @LP. The hate that runs through their minds is incredible.
#67. To: buckeroo (#62) From my observations they've got the following on their hit list: We The People, TooConservative, InfoWarrior (who they incorrectly believe is Bill D Berger), The Leadpenny and Judge Parker and maybe beyond the sea (aka Otis). I'm not sure how they treat Willie Green as he is a target to lots of others.
#70. To: Fred Mertz (#67) Goldi gives them free reign to purge the site. The place will become an echo chamber.
#72. To: buckeroo (#70) Goldi always struck me as one who feared or couldn't handle success. That site had lots of potential over the years but it never did break out - which I attribute to her uneven handed moderating.
#74. To: Fred Mertz (#72) After Neil left, Goldi made it a Israeli FIRSTER website.
#113. To: buckeroo (#74) After Neil left, Goldi made it a Israeli FIRSTER website. 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.
#118. To: A K A Stone (#113) Both of those sites are 100 percent anti jew. Not one exception. 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.
#121. To: buckeroo (#118) You lose, pal. No you lose pal. You didn't name one poster on any of those sites that is pro Jew. They are all anti Jew.
#122. To: A K A Stone (#121) (Edited) Didn't you suggest "site?" No, now it is single out a poster here or there? Are you out of YOUR FRICKIN' MIND?
post#113: 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. You are as ignorant as they come, Stone.
#124. To: buckeroo (#122) No you are out of your mind. As usual. What I said is true. There are none.
#126. To: A K A Stone (#124) No you are out of your mind. As usual. What I said is true. There are none. 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.
#128. To: buckeroo (#126) Well that is true. You sometimes don't post as an anti jew. I stand corrected. You must be the only one.
#131. To: A K A Stone (#128) Here is the problem that you can not understand.
Americans, I mean REAL AMERICAN CITIZENS not dual nationals that run our government and control the methods of the increased police state here in America as well as WARS for nothing around the world ARE SICK AND TIRED OF PAYING FOR THIS BS. You have the issues confused and completely understated; you are all mixed upped.
#134. To: buckeroo (#131) Americans, I mean REAL AMERICAN CITIZENS not dual nationals that run our government and control the methods of the increased police state here in America as well as WARS for nothing around the world ARE SICK AND TIRED OF PAYING FOR THIS BS. Actually most people don't give a shit.
#136. To: A K A Stone (#134) Actually most people don't give a shit. 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.
#140. To: buckeroo (#136) So, what the FUCK are you doing here? 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.
#143. To: A K A Stone (#140) The Jews are not a root cause of any failure here. 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.
