To: wardaddy; wideawake
Before I begin, I ask one favor of you, wardaddy; please read this post in its entirety before checking out and posting that you have no use for anything I say and calling me a "scalawag." Please do this one thing, and then I don't care what you do afterwards.

Your attack on wideawake (apparently based on an argument carried from another thread in violation of FR rules) is uncalled for.

1)There are still racists and anti-Semites on FR, though they aren't as bad as they used to be (when I first registered here the place was crawling with them). And I have seen some pretty awful posts by you myself (I've also seen some very good posts by you).

2)Wideawake has consistently defended rural Southern Fundamentalist Protestants from their detractors, which is absolutely amazing considering that he is Catholic (the attitude of most Catholic FReepers to Fundamentalist Protestants needs no elaboration).

As you probably know, I too am a Southerner (though from the Upper rather than the Deep South), though my own ancestors (like many Southerners in every Confederate state except South Carolina) fought for the Union. I too love the South (while disagreeing with certain aspects of traditional Southern culture like jim crow and slavish adherence to the Democrat party), but the most important thing to me is that it is the Bible Belt. I may no longer be a chrstian, but I am Bible-bangin'est son of a gun you will ever meet. And that means One G-d and One Truth that applies universally.

I admit to not liking "palaeoconservatives." "Palaeos" are not Fundamentalists at all. They are utilitarian "civilizationist" intellectuals to whom Abstract Universal Truth is "subversive;" it undercuts traditional local norms. But that's the whole point: "traditional local norms" are pagan! The whole point of chrstianity was (theoretically) to destroy the "old 'gxds'" ("traditional local norms") and replace them with the One True G-d (which it's done a lousy job of doing, btw). This failure is easily seen by the mutual hatred between chrstians of different ethnicities (Black and white Americans being the most obvious, but far from the only, example). It is obvious that each ethnicity has created a "gxd" in its own image and put its racial identity over and above its religious identity (and please recall before you have an aneurism that I am one of the most caustic critics of contemporary "Black culture" and politics on this forum!). If Black and white chrstians really put their religious identities first, then a Black and white Baptist marriage wouldn't be considered a "mixed marriage;" a white Baptist and white b*ddhist marriage would be! In short, "palaeoconservative" civilizationism is really no different from the attitude of Communist "national liberation" terrorists: "Deze are de wayz of our pipplez!"

In closing: anyone who worships his ancestors, his culture, his civilization, his "way of life," etc., is an idolator, and idolatry is the greatest sin of all. If your loyalty to G-d is based on loyalty to your ancestors (rather than vice versa), then you may be very disappointed at your day of judgment.

Dude, you are one one the biggest anti Christians on this forum. If you want respect for the Jews you venerate, you have to give respect in return. It's laughable for you to complain about "anti-semites" (someone Jews don't like) when you regularly post unvarnished bigotry of your own. If you want to be a servant of men, that is your own decision, but don't denigrate others who won't take the 30 silvers. Respect, like courtesy, is earned and not demanded. You deserve neither.
