Why "Hammer Folk Woman"?

In case you were wondering, I will take a little time and explain the name of this, my newest blog.

Hammer

Hammer refers to Charles Martel, the Hammer of Gaul, who stopped the Muslim advance into Europe at the Battle of Tours (aka the Battle of Poitiers) in 732 AD. Yes, the Muslims were attacking the West more than 300 years BEFORE the first Crusade. Charles Martel saw the threat posed to his country, faith, and civilization by the Muslims of his time and responded with furious force, hence the moniker Martel, the Hammer. In this time of renewed Islamic imperialism all Westerners must become Hammers ready to fight to save our civilization, our nations, and our faith. We stopped the Muslims once, we can stop them again.

Folk

I've always liked the word "folk". I know for some it has negative conotations because the Nazis used it to describe the German nation, but the word itself is quite innocent. For me it carries the idea of a tribe bound by shared values, customs, goals and beliefs, not necessarily by race or geography. The Hammer Folk, then, are those in the West who embody the fighting spirit of Charles Martel by loving Western civilization and their individual nations, and vigorously defending them from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Woman

I wanted to emphasize that this blog is being written by a woman because I feel it's vitally important to oppose left-wing group think which insists that a person's beliefs--political, religious, cultural--are and should be determined by the group to which he/she belongs and not by independent, critical thinking. I know that there are leftists out there who think that, because I'm a woman, I have an obligation to hate the West and to feel perpetually oppressed by it. I'm supposed to feel a kindred spirit with other "oppressed peoples" and make excuses for the savage violence they commit. I'm supposed to believe that Islamic terrorism is the West's fault and can only be stopped by the West engaging in endless atonement for the sins of colonialism. Anything less is "racism". In short, I'm supposed to be Rosie O'Donnell, but I take great pleasure and pride in rejecting the treasonous role the left has scripted for me.

I'm a woman, a black woman, who loves the West and considers it to be my civilization, my home, and its people my people. I feel no kinship with the non-white, non-Western killers who slaughter my people like cattle. The only thing they will get from me is hate. I am a woman who will defend my civilization, my home, and my people any way I can. I am Hammer, I'm part of the Folk, and I'm a Woman. Hammer Folk Woman. Get it?
