Entry: The Haughty Polloi Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_haughty_polloi#8420 Post contents: Most of these modern fortunes were begot by disreputable means - industrialism, commerce and high-tech - not from a family estate, an agrarian tradition, the true bedrock of the artist and gentleman alike. In fact, these capitalists are at war with the true gentleman, as they have been since the end of the Civil War. Frank Lawrence Owsley in his essay "The Irrepressible Conflict" in _I'll take my Stand_ writes: "[The South] with its lands worthless, its cattle and stock gone, its houses burned, was turned over to three millions of former slaves, some of whom could still remember the taste of human flesh and the bulk of them hardly three generations removed from cannibalism. These half-savage blacks were armed. Their passions were roused against their former masters by savage political leaders like Thaddeus Stevens, who advocated the confiscation of all Southern lands for the benefit of the negroes, and the extermination, if need be, of the Southern white population." These capitalists are no friend to whites, their traditions, nor their survival. Philistine profit is their religion. Sent at: 2008 07 24
