THE BIGOTRY AND IGNORANCE OF THE LEFT

-

  The new theme of the left seems to be that Republicans and Conservatives like myself are just frustrated bigoted, racist and angry white people who realize that because of changing demographics we will no longer be in the majority in a few years. They are right about one thing. Because of illegal immigration from Hispanics and people of color, including Middle Eastern Muslims that is wholeheartedly supported by establishment Democrats and Republicans white people will be in the minority soon. I might also add that black people will be an even smaller minority than they are now. Where the left is wrong however is the fact that because of their own bigotry they cannot see that our anger is not based on race as much as it is based on the realization that our unique American character is in danger of being destroyed. If I died and woke up 100 years from now and every American was brown I wouldn't care as long as I recognized them as Americans. I believe in the idea of the American melting pot. People have come to America with the expectation of leaving the old world behind and adapting to the new. Assimilation has made us the greatest and most powerful country on earth. 

  On the other hand the left has introduced and tolerated the ridiculous notion that the newcomer should not adopt to our language and culture but we should adapt to theirs. This is leading to the Balkanization of our country. Our Founding Fathers introduced an idea to the world which is at the heart of our uniqueness. That the individual is supreme. Not a king or an oligarchy. We gave government permission to govern us and we can take that permission away. That we have certain inalienable rights that come from God and can only be taken away by God. Are we a superior people? Absolutely!!! Our superiority has nothing to do with our skin color but our mind-set as a people. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed". This was written by a white male slave owner and I challenge any race, creed, culture, or gender, this side of heaven, to come up with something better than that!!

THE DEATH OF JAYNE MANSFIELD

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while...

CARNTON PLANTATION

   My first association with the Carnton Plantation in Franklin was when I would see the old house while hunting for Civil War relics in the early 1970's. There is a subdivision near Carnton today in the area where I hunted when it was primarily farm land. I knew it was an antebellum home but I wasn't aware of how historic Carnton was. It was in a horrible state of disrepair and I have learned since then that a farmer was using the house as his hay barn. In 1977 the owner of the property donated the house and ten acres to the Carnton Association and they have done a fantastic job of restoring the plantation to it's former glory. Originally the McGavock's owned 1400 acres. It was built by Randall McGavock in the 1820's. He was mayor of Nashville and a close friend of Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk. Jackson on several occasions was an overnight guest in the home.    His son John took over the plantation in 1843 upon the death of Randall. In 1848 John mar...

The James brothers with their mother Zerelda James   Most everyone has heard of the notorious outlaws Jesse and Frank James, however; did you know that they lived in Nashville from 1875 until March 1881? Jesse's oldest son Jesse James Jr. was born in Nashville along with his sister Mary. Jesse Jr. was born at 606 Boscobel Street on August 31, 1875. Mary was born on West Hamilton Road in Bordeaux on July 17, 1879. Jesse Jr. went by the name Tim and as far as he knew his last name was Howard. He and his sister would not know their real last names until after Jesse was killed in 1882. Jesse and his wife Zerelda would also lose two male twins in infancy.  Jesse's brother Frank lived on Clarksville Pike. While living there he and his wife Annie Ralston James gave birth to a son named Robert Franklin on February 6, 1877. For a time he would be dressed as a girl and go by the name of Mary. Why his parents did this I do not know.  The brothers were on the run. Nashvill...
