Entry: William Hawkins, Loser Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_hawkins_loser#5950 Post contents: As a proud member of the League of the South and the Sons of Confederate Veterans, I invite Justin Raimondo to take the next step. The charge of “un-patriotic” is absurd because ... there isn’t a <i>patria</i> called “America”. We have a faux Patria founded 146 years ago by force of arms, and by one founding father, Lincoln – Hamilton and Clay being his teachers. The Declaration of Secession of 1776 (even the name we call it is faux) and the paper Constitution of 1787 and 1791 are dead letters in Bartleby’s office, their meaning – and the work of Jefferson, Madison, and Washington – are twisted by Dishonest Abe, Wilson the Worst, and The Great Satan (Franklin Roosevelt) to mean what they don’t say. As the faux country, so the faux-nationality: There isn’t a people called “Americans”, any more that there are peoples called Italians, Germans, Britishers, Soviet Unioners – even Frenchmen or Spaniards. All these supposed nationalities are 19th C. fictions. When Mussolini decided that he was going to forge a nation of Italians out of very different peoples, he was just following the footsteps of Cavour, Georg Schönerer (ol’ Adi’s teacher), Bismarck, 1688-ers, Richelieu, and Lincoln. In recognizing this, and in proposing a solution, the Paleolibertarians, the Vermont Secessionists, the Neo-Confederates (and neo-confederationists), and our last surviving Jeffersonian, Clyde Wilson, are way ahead of the moribund Paleoconservatives. Tom DiLorenzo, Lew Rockwell, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Michael Hill, and Clyde Wilson have done the work that Sam Francis (who refused to join the League) <i>et al.</i> should have done. The ghost of Paleoconservatism (the movement died with Francis) might disagree with the Hamiltonian-Lincolnians (“Neocons” – a term that I refuse to use, because they ain’t no conservatives, y’all) in terms of what Lincoln’s central state ought to be doing, but they are in full agreement as to how this Behemoth and Leviathan and Great Whore of Babylon mega-state ought to be constituted. But how it is constituted is why it is doing bad things. Rather than whining about how the Hamiltonians and Cultural Marxists are destroying Faux-Patria America by the Iraq war, oil dependency, trade deficits, budget deficits, fiat money and inflation, welfare, (both corporate and individual), off-shoring, immigration, retribalization, Potemkin schools and universities, cultural decadence celebrating the Lumpen-Proletariat, etc, instead let’s actually hurry this process along by secessionist and confederationist activity, as Lincolndom creaks to its inevitable doom. PS: Real Conservatives, potentially, can trump Racial-Nationalists, Hamiltonian-Nationalists, Cultural Marxists (racialists in their own way), and even the very laudable Paleolibertarians. (So also can Christian Democracy’s application of Catholic Social Teaching, by the way). Call Real Conservatism the great sleeping Atlantis of politics. Sent at: 2008 11 22
