Election Results and Texas Nationalism and Neo-Confederacy

In case you haven't hear, Donald Trump won the presidential election.

The implications of this in terms of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) is that their prospects are  on hold until there is a Democratic administration.

This is the response of Daniel Miller regarding the election results.

http://www.thetnm.org/miller_releases_statement_on_election_results

He makes threats, which I think at the moment, are empty threats. Obama is out of office and Hillary Clinton wasn't elected and the motive force that might have existed for Texas secession is gone.

However, his movement isn't going anywhere until disillusion with Trump sets in. On the other hand if disillusion with Trump sets in with Trump supporters Miller's claim that no one politician can change things will have greater credibility with the disaffected.

The movement is on hold. However, with demographic changes in Texas by 2020 there will be a state wide majority against his ideology in Texas and he will have very diminished prospects.

I have been writing a review of Miller's book, "Line in the Sand," trying to get it done as soon as possible. I think now it becomes a low priority. I will likely finish it up since I have put a lot of work into it, but maybe over the next year.

As for other secessionist movements they too are on hold.

I don't think Trump will be very pleased by movements to break up the nation for which he is the president.

"American Conservative" magazine is now the magazine to read and the "National Review" won't be the magazine to read.

Trump seems to be the nationalist and I think those forces which are against American nationalism will not be in favor.

As for his administration and its policies regarding the Confederacy I will be sending a series of letters asking him to: 1) Not send a wreath to the Arlington Confederate Monument. 2) Get neo-Confederates out of Junior ROTC.  3) Get neo-Confederates out of the U.S. military academies.

I am thinking of doing petitions with each of these.  I tend to think Trump will not respond favorably to these requests, but then again I don't really know. For a candidate whose slogan was, "Make America Great Again," it will be interesting to see what his views of the Confederacy will be.

On the other day he might have a Confederate flag at the White House or a portrait of a Confederate leader. Eisenhower had a portrait of Robert E. Lee.

However, I would like to stress we are in a whole new world. It is a different period now.

With the 2016 election both the Republican and Democratic Party establishments have been defeated.
We live in a new world.

Progress on the new book on the neo-Confederate movement. Plans for book about Texas secession.

I am doing the editing of the chapters. I have written all the chapters and someone has done editing and I am doing the final editing of the chapters.

I expect it will be available in mid-September. I am going to use social media to promote it.

It is written for a general audience and the approach is focused on how neo-Confederacy  impacts everyday concerns of people in general.

Next I am going to write up "Prelude to Texas Secession" cover the story on how conservative Texas legitimized the idea of secession and have led to the secession movement. I have some unique materials. I am also going to write on Texas secession itself briefly including my counter proposals.

I have to get it done and available by the day after election. My expectation is that Hillary Clinton will win, but not by much, and secessionist movements will take off in many localities.

I hope to resume more regular blogging after my writing is done.

It will be available at Amazon in 3 to 5 days. I am currently working on the book about Texas secessionism.

Concerning Alt-Right and the Clinton's Living in glass houses and throwing stones

This is an article for which I provided the documentation.

In 2015 I wrote a certified letter to Bill Clinton asking him to retract his letters of praise for the United Daughters of the Confederacy. I didn't get a reply.

The letters are published in the "United Daughters of the Confederacy Magazine" as follows:

1. Vol. 57 No. 8, Sept. 1994

2. Vol. 58 No. 2 Feb. 1995

3. Vol. 58 No. 8, Sept. 1995.

I should also say that I am not concerned about the outrage of political partisans of any types and party hacks in particular.

An earlier blog posting with some background information. It also explains why this is important.

Hillary Clinton and Reconstruction

HILLARY CLINTON AND RECONSTRUCTION


http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/01/hillary-clinton-on-reconstruction-at-town-hall.html

I should point out that Bill Clinton wrote three letters of congratulations to the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

http://www.blackcommentator.com/274/274_clinton_udc.html

Also, I sent a questionnaire to Hillary about presidential policies relevant to fighting neo-Confederacy and I didn't get a response.

http://www.templeofdemocracy.com/presidential-questionnaire.html

The story is all over the internet. I would like Hillary Clinton to answer the questionnaire.

Bill Clinton's letters to the United Daughters of the Confederacy are published in Buzzfeed

I wrote Hillary Clinton on the issues where presidential policies enable neo-Confederates.

Presidential Questionnaire mailed to announced candidates

I have mailed to the announced presidential candidates the questionnaire which I posted on this blog. You can read it here.

http://newtknight.blogspot.com/2015/05/questionnaire-for-2016-presidential.html#.VVJ3Y_lViko

Along with the questionnaire I sent a cover letter and a copy of Bill Clinton's letter of congratulations to the United Daughters of the Confederacy with a note asking that when president not to do this. A web article documenting Bill Clinton's letters to the UDC is: http://www.blackcommentator.com/274/274_clinton_udc.html

The candidates I sent the questionnaire to were:

Democratic:

1. Bernie Sanders.

2. Hillary Clinton

Republican:

1. Carly Fiorina

2. Marco Rubio

3. Rand Paul

4. Benjamin Carson

5. Mike Huckabee

6. Ted Cruz

As more candidates announce their candidacy I will be writing them. I will be publishing the results at www.templeofdemocracy.com.

Hillary Clinton and the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC)

Bill Clinton sent three letters of congratulations to the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), the first of them in slightly less than a year after Carol Moseley-Braun's victory over the UDC in the U.S. Senate. The link to the story is online.

http://www.blackcommentator.com/274/274_clinton_udc.html

Bill Clinton never retracted his letters or apologized for them. The question comes up whether Hillary Clinton would ever send a letter of congratulations to a neo-Confederate group or would send a wreath to the Confederate Monument in the Arlington Cemetery.

I will have to write both of them.
