Greetings:<br><br>
I'm happy to answer Chasuk's question about the neo-Confederates.
The several versions of my column define them in terms of the mission
statement of the League of the South (LOS), of which Wilson's buddy Steve
Wilkins was a founding director. I believe that Wilkins has cut all
ties to the LOS primarily because we have made it an issue in our
criticisms of Wilson. What is significant is that neither Wilkins
nor Wilson for that matter has rejected basic LOS principles. All
that Wilson has said is that he does not think that secession will
work.<br><br>
The LOS has declared that 15 southern states should withdraw from the
union in order to protect the prerogatives of a white Anglo-Celtic
elite. They would establish a Calvinist theocracy in which there
would be voting rights only for propertied males. Wilson and George
Grant nodded in agreement in <i>My Town</i> when Wilkins made this
incredible claim.<br><br>
In Wilson’s <i>Credenda Agenda</i> (vol. 3: nos. 9, 11), Greg Dickison,
member of Wilson’s Christ Church and a Moscow public defender, states
that "if we could have it our way,” then there would be capital
punishment for “kidnapping, sorcery, bestiality, adultery, homosexuality,
and cursing one's parents.” Dickison also quotes biblical passages
(without qualification) that support slavery as "ordained and
regulated by God," death for apostasy (Deut. 13.6-9), and cutting
off a woman’s hand for touching a strange man's genitals (Deut.
25.11,12). I take this as a preview of life in the New Confederacy.
<br><br>
I agree with you Chasuk that there are conditions under which Americans
should rebel and, if absolutely necessary, take the blood of tyrants if
our liberties are threatened, but I think you will agree with me that
these guys are not even close to proving to us that things are that
bad.<br><br>
So it is not just secession, but Calvinist theocracy and a rejection of
formal equality before the law that defines the
neo-Confederates.<br><br>
