Culturist Questions from Ground Zero

On May 25^th and July 27th 2010, I spoke at community board meetings hoping to stop the Ground Zero mosque via giving the site landmark status. In doing so, I represented myself as both the author of the book Culturism and the President of the Brooklyn Tea Party. The Tea Party movement, like culturism, is against the politically correct, business-as-usual political machines. But even within our Tea Party and anti-Jihadist movement, the multicultural thought police have divided us. We American activists must now choose a path.

The first community meeting started with politicians calling us racist and bigots for not wanting the mosque. If you watch my video of the first meeting, you’ll see how cruel this is. Many of those speaking lost their loved ones in the 9 – 11 attacks. But anyone, no matter what they have suffered, who questions Islam and its worthiness gets attacked by the mainstream media and mainstream politicians.

At the meetings I spoke about how culturism, unlike multiculturalism, recognizes that we have a civilization and a right to defend it. I pointed out that Muhammad and Jesus were very different characters. And, unlike multiculturalists, we recognized that diversity was real and so could include cultures hostile to the West’s very existence. These observations are culturist, not racist.

For this effort, my fellow regional Tea Party leaders denounced me. They argue that we should only talk about the core Tea Party issue of fiscal conservatism. In a meeting, my Tea Party group members decided to include denouncing the Ground Zero Mosque and supporting our State of Arizona in defending their border with Mexico. And so we lunge forward with a culturist agenda at the risk of offending other Tea Party groups.

Meanwhile, our anti-jihad movement got some notoriety via the fabulous Pamela Geller who we all adore. But on television, she decided to take the tact of fighting the Ground Zero mosque with a “sensitivity” argument. She has said the mosque’s proximity to Ground Zero hurt the feelings of our community and the 9-11 families. This strategic argument deflected the “racist” charge. But consistency requires that those using the sensitivity argument claim they have nothing against Islam and would welcome mosques elsewhere. Geller nor her culturist followers believe that.

The rally against Brooklyn’s Voorhies provided an answer to both the Tea Party moderates and those trying to dodge the “racist” tag with the “sensitivity” argument. This mosque is far from Ground Zero. Rather than sensitivity, we opposed this mosque because the funding comes from the terror-supporting and anti-Semitic Muslim American Society. We need to stop this Sharia promoting organization dead in its tracks across the nation. In Brooklyn, the problem isn’t sensitivity it is aggressive Sharia.

In my speech to our crowd, I attempted to square the Tea Party values of smaller government with stopping the mosques. As with defending Arizona’s right to guard its borders, I argued that we have a right to protect our civilization. Furthermore, our Constitution does not give Saudi Arabia the right to build mosques all over the West. I discussed a law that we use to track foreign agents during the NAZI and Soviet times. And rather than sensitivity, I justified using this law on the fact that “we have been defending the West against Islam for 1,400 years.” And so, I spoke the truth and possibly alienated potential allies.

Despite these divisions, the Tea Party’s existence shows that many Americans are fed up with the abusive, snide, ruling-class living off our taxes and ruining our nation. And, whatever the ideological nuances, our major rallies have attracted tens of thousands of patriots. Many Americans denounce the Ground Zero mosque for sensitivity and many do so from an understanding of Islam. And with the Tea Party on fire, I am proud to report that outrage is everywhere in America. The question is whether or not our citizens can be approached with culturist truth or if multiculturalism has conditioned them to the point where we must always speak in culturally neutral terms.
