It is painfully apparent, by your terminology for the War of Northern Aggression, that YOUR ancestors took part in the destruction of the American Republic and the erection of the grotesque Leviathan of today.
Sorry to see that; sorry to say that; --but it is the bottom line. Now the buzzards have come home to roost. I recommend secession of the American South, Midwest, and most of the Northwest as the best possible solution. Let's repair to The American Republic while we can.
What was done to the American South in 1861-1877 is being done to the rest of the planet today and they are not gonna lay down and die while we do it.
"The Gettysburg speech was at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history... the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination -- that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth. IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE ANYTHING MORE UNTRUE. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves." -- H.L. Mencken
Wrong. Don't you Damnyankee me! I lost a great-grandfather in Confederate service, and my grandfather was orphaned in the War.
Even when I was a Cadet at the Virginia Military Institute, that term was used. Oh, some of the guys made a point of calling it the War Between the States or the War of Northern Aggression, but most people, with impeccable Confederate credentials such as my classmate directly descended from Albert Sidney Johnson, used the term "Civil War". In my own family, it was always referred to as The War, but most people today wouldn't understand the reference.
Thank G-d I am a product of the Bible Belt South and not the high-church European culture that preceded it! And thank G-d that if the South ever does become an independent nation, it is we pro-Jewish Fundamentalist Bible-thumpers and not you chr*stendom types who will run it. In fact, not every Old South Southerner regards the Jews as the Source Of All That Is Icky, but that's another story.
The Southern Redneck (or, as I'm sure this fine Southern lady calls us, "white trash") has the same relationship with Israel that the Jamaican r*st*f*rian has with Ethiopia. To a rootless people with no memory of an ancient heritage and who have only the Bible to guide them, all the ancient traditions of chr*stendom are phonies. All are unauthorized by the Bible (which Flannery O'Connor, valiant Southern lady, admitted is the object worshipped by Southern religion). The only chr*stendom they can find in their Bible is Biblical Israel, the only Rome is Jerusalem, and the only "chr*stian kings" they can find are Saul, David, Solomon, and their successors. In fact, unlike classical chr*stians, Southern Fundamentalists accept J*sus solely on the authority of the extended Hebrew Bible they possess, and for no other reason. Which means all one has to do is realize the "reformers" didn't go far enough when they tossed out the "Deuterocanon."
The Independent South will be a Noachide Theocracy, and Hebrew will be its language. 'Amein, selah. Ken yehi ratzon.
