The South Don’t Need Yo’ Broke Constitution

Neil Kumar makes the case here:

And even some old, crusty Yankee conservatives like Richard Henry Dana, Sr, were able to bring themselves to criticize the principles that were bound up in the Philadelphia Constitution:

The South’s actual constitutional inheritance from Christian Europe (not the phony Puritan/Yankee version of it) – hierarchical, hereditary and elected officials, monarchical, guilds/corporations, stable villages, a land-holding warrior aristocracy, cooperation between throne and altar, the common law, etc. – is waiting for her to take it up again into her political life.

Furthermore, if folks in the States were really serious about living the Christian life, instead of worshipping the ‘demi-gods’ of Philadelphia and their paper idol on Sept. 17^th, they would be honoring actual Saints of the Church.  Here are just a few celebrated on the 17^th who deserve our attention, our praises, and our prayers:

--The Holy Martyrs St Sophia and her three daughters, Faith, Hope, and Love (+137)

--St Lambert, Bishop of Maestricht and Martyr (+705), one of the great Saints of the West

‘Little children, keep yourselves from idols’ (I John 5:21).

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
