South Carolina
Auster writes:
“Since the Congress can now command citizens to do anything the Congress wants, since America as a republic under a government of limited powers is now officially dead, therefore conservatism, which if it means anything means support for that republic of limited powers, is now also dead. For conservatives to continue to support the constitution means supporting a leftist government with unlimited powers. Therefore the only meaningful form that conservatism can now take is counterrevolution, which means: opposition to the lawless regime that America now is, and the declared intent to overthrow it. Any “conservatism” short of counterrevolution is simply subscription to, loyalty to, patriotism to, obedience to, a leftist unlimited state.”
It has been officially dead since 1865. This is the same despotism in Washington that made “Georgia howl” and “broke South Carolina.”
We have just been reminded of it this week with Arizona and Obamacare. The Supreme Court voted to integrate public schools in Brown and uphold affirmative action in Grutter. It upheld the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in McClung and Heart of Atlanta Motel and struck down every anti-miscegenation law in Dixie in the Loving decision.
Conservatives deluded themselves into thinking that Washington was on their side. They have been living in a fantasy world where America is coextensive with their country. For a brief moment, a large number of them have been jolted back into reality.
This is another way of looking at Washington:
Acknowledging the awful reality much have been painful for a patriot like Auster.
The key in helping people over that hump is to note that USG is merely a government. It is not the American people, nor is it even the United States. It’s just a government.
And when the government becomes abusive of a people’s ancient rights and liberties it is their duty and their right to abolish it and replace it with one designed to secure their happiness.
Or, so I read somewhere.
Yes, that’s why I posted it. This is a big step across the Rubicon for him.
I will just note that Obamacare is nowhere near as outrageous as Brown or Loving.

“I will just note that Obamacare is nowhere near as outrageous as Brown or Loving.”
Truth. The invasion of Dixie, WWI, and the New Deal were far more inimical to White freedom.
The switch in John that saved D’Won.
The principle of ‘loyal opposition’ opposes nothing. In fact it affirms the power an enemy exercises against you.
He said that well, using language that might resonate with conservatives. What’s it going to take to get them all thinking this way?
In an argument in a StL bar with a German about the Confederacy.
Guess how that turned out.
Expect to be flooded with movies, articles, and tv propaganda reminding us that Lincoln was a saint. We can’t let people get to thinking when this all started can we? Nope, Lincoln was perfect. Every decision he made was perfect. There can be no doubt about it, and if anybody should doubt it, he can expect to be given the boot.
Bebo: Right on! He was a vampire hunter, after all!
Georgetown is to the Catholic Church what the YMCA is to Christianity.
