OR -DEGENER-
Conde Me Ginley and the Old America...
Conde McGinley was one of the “Old
Americans.’ He was born in the Indian Ter-
ritory, before Oklahoma.became a State. Try
to picture the landscape into which Conde
McGinley was born: To the North and South
of the Indian Territory, lay the rural Heart-
land of America, the farmlands of the Middle
West and Texas. It was an area of kerosene-
lit farmhouses, country churches, and circuit-
riding preachers, It was, if you please, “The
Bible Belt.” Beatniks and Hippies had not
yet been invented. Treason, treachery, and
betrayal had not yet become fashionable.
Lawless.mobs were not allowed to loot and
burn stores in our cities. The Army and Navy,
were respected. We were a proud, patriotic,
sound, and healthy nation.
The other day, on a street corner in
Brooklyn, a crusty Irish gentleman. of the Old
School said to me, “This used to be a great
Country. How did it go bad so fast?”
How indeed? This was the question which
agitated Conde McGinley.. He saw with
sharp-eyed clarity the fact. thatthe United
States was under hostile attack from. without
and within. He fought -the forees which
sought to destroy the old,-sound, happy, pa-
triotic America. He fought with might and
main, with every ounce of his energy and
with every dollar he had. He gave up a suc-
cessful: business career to devote himself to
the business of warning America against the
sophisticated forces of treachery, treason and
nihilism. Conde McGinley was, as all of our
older readers know, the founder of COMMON
SENSE.
COMMON SENSE has long been slandered
as a “Hate Sheet.” We are in fact nothing of
the kind. We have never incited mobs to
rage through the streets and burn stores, as
the Jew-owned mass media have done. We
have never urged or instigated the persecu-
tion of ordinary individuals because of their
race, color, or religion. If we merely wanted
to foment racial hatred, we probably
wouldn’t even bother to put out the paper at
all. Racial hatred exists as a natural force,
like earthquakes and volcanos. Oswald
Spengler attributed racial hatred to a natural
cultural dissonance between the phases of de-
velopment reached by various races. We
think that this theory is, in general, true. We
DO NOT believe that the Jewish Anti-Def-
amation League is accomplishing anything
whatsoever in the way of improving racial re-
lations in this country. On the contrary, they
are. fanning the fires of hatred by their arro-
gant injuries to other people. We think that
the Jews are bound to learn, sooner or later,
that when a minority race behaves with con-
summate arrogance and cupidity toward the
majority among whom it dwells, then the mi-
nority race inevitably will suffer bitterly for
its arrogance. The Jews try to hide their cu-
pidity behind a mask of charlatanry and
quack ideology, such as Marxism. This failed
bitterly in Germany in the years between
1933 and 1944. We believe it will also fail
everywhere else. We do not foresee or fear
a future in which the world will be ruled by
“Jewish Supermen.” We foresee a calamity
brought on by Jewish arrogance, Jewish in-
competence, and Jewish stupidity.
Conde McGinley did not found COMMON
SENSE for the purpose of fighting the Jews.
COMMON SENSE originally confined itself to
fighting Communism. The paper was sold in
Catholic Churches all over New Jersey. Dur-
ing the first two years of its existence, COM-
MON SENSE did not so much as mention the
Jews. Conde McGinley did not declare war on
the Jews. The Jews declared war on Conde
McGinley. Those were the days of the “Red
Takeover.” Marxism was the power-instru-
ment of the Jews. It was changing the coun-
try. We had come to the time of the power
of minority groups, which means Jewish pow-
er. THE JEWS ACCUSED COMMON SENSE
OF BEING AN “ANTI-SEMITIC” PAPER
LONG BEFORE COMMON SENSE HAD
EVER PUBLISHED A WORD ABOUT THE
JEWS. To be Anti-Communist was to be
ie _ Anti-Semitic. The Jews identified them-
ves with Marxism ttacking Anti-Com -

business men brought. pressure upon printers
and paper-suppliers. Within one very short
period, COMMON SENSE was printed in
eleven different printing shops.
the Jews applied pressure to stop COMMON
SENSE from being printed. Each time, Con-
de McGinley had to go out and find another
printer. Finally he bought his own printing
press. Then they tried to shut off his paper
supply. All of the paper wholesalers were
Jewish. To this day, our printing paper
travels a long, long way before we get it. We
are not impressed when some Jewish writer
in the NEW YORK TIMES praises
“Freedom of Dissent.” We know their
real attitude toward “Freedom
The only “dissenters” they are willing to tol-
erate are the dissenters from patriotism, and
from the American tradition. Real dissenters
from treachery, treason, nihilism, decadence,
and anarchy are given short shrift. The Jews
have silenced a whole generation
American writers through their control of the
vicious, degenerate, and corrupt literary rac-
ket of New York City. They have flooded
our bookstalls with literary garbage of the
worst and lowest kind. Patriotism, merit, and
real talent are consigned silently to oblivion.
(Henry Ford mentions this in his book THE
INTERNATIONAL JEW.) Then the editori-
al hacks of the NEW YORK TIMES sing the
praises of “Dissent” and “Freedom of expres-
sion.”
They didn’t show much respect for Conde
McGinley’s freedom of expression. Deputy
Sheriffs invaded the offices of COMMON
SENSE and assaulted McGinley.
charged him with “Resisting an Officer.” Mc-
Ginley beat the case in Court. A libel suit for
$250,000 was brought by Rabbi Prinz against
COMMON SENSE. Meetings of patriots
sponsored by COMMON SENSE were in-
vaded and broken up by goons. In this man-
ner, the Jews exhibited their delicate concern
for “Freedom of Dissent” and “Freedom of
Expression.” The fact is that they want these
freedoms for themselves only, and not for
anybody else, most eSpecially, not for any-
body who represents the Old American Tra-
dition. Conde McGinley was the walking em-
bodiment of the Old America which has been.
lost in a swirl of riots, disorder, decay,
anarchy, treachery, and treason.
COMMON SENSE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT
A MERE HATE SHEET. Of course
ARE hate sheets, whose editors sit down at
their typewriters and cook up just any old
thing which will engender racial hatreds _ rapidly.

ACY? There are people who say that there
can never be any real integrity in any-pro-
‘American or Anti-Communist movements.
They say that we must always peddle the

They say that the American people do not

hope that it is not so. We hope that the fires
of patriotism can again be kindled, that: Real-

But we will. not be the peddlers of false. nos-
trums, of quack cures, of political charla-

less this country mends its ways, then this
Country is headed for its final roundup.

Conde Mc Ginley knew that America was in
danger. That was why he founded COMMON
SENSE, Long ago, Paul Revere jumped onto
his horse and galloped across the American
countryside to sound a warning. McGinley
Each time, did exactly the same thing. McGinley knew
that his warning was urgent, that time was
short, that the need for action was, impera-
tive. America was being delivered in a bag
to the forces of international nihilism. Behind
the sugar-sweet mask of phoney “Liberal-
Idealism,” the sinister Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse were already riding, riding for the
destruction of America. In recent years we
have seen the bitter fruit of these things, in
the sabotage of patriotism, the destruction of
the American Christian culture, the ruin of
of Dissent.” public order, the decline of the dollar, the de-
struction of economic stability. Conde Mc-
Ginley wanted to save the Old America, the
sturdy character generated on his boyhood
landscape of kerosene-lit farmhouses, the pa-
triotism and religious faith which made
of native America great. McGinley saw clearly. that
America would not survive if the culture-ali-
ens had their way. _
To this day, many “Conservatives” write to
us and complain that we are not following the
“Conservative Party Line.” We have no pa-
tience with the mere “Money Conservative.”
If you are interested only in your money, and
care nothing for the QUALITY of American
life, then you are no Conservative. You are
probably a hick, and you just don’t know
enough to get on the side where you really.
