NC: Nathaniel Macon and the Origin of States’ Rights Conservatism


 macon
"The attempt to govern too much has produced every civil war that ever has been, and will, probably, every one that ever may be."

Back in 1975 the Warren County [N.C.] Historical Association initiated a comprehensive project to study the life and legacy of Nathaniel Macon. As a part of this project, both archaeological and architectural studies of his old Buck Spring plantation, near the Roanoke River, were commissioned.

Working with the professional staff of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History, the Macon project had, it was proposed at the time, a longer range potential objective: a possible state historic site to honor North Carolina’s most historically significant political leader, whose legacy and philosophy and character influenced not only generations of Tar Heels, but also a host of very illustrious Southerners, their thinking, and the very manner in which they lived their lives and viewed the society around them.

Working with architectural historians and experienced archaeologists, I was commissioned to prepare both a chain of title for the Buck Spring site, as well as a detailed written history of Macon and his life. All of this would be organized in a major report that might be used to justify the future creation of an important historic site, sadly never realized, giving credit finally to this giant of North Carolina and American history. At that time I was finishing up a doctorate in graduate school. A few years earlier Macon and his underappreciated significance to the history of this nation had figured in my MA thesis presented at the University of Virginia. I was amazed at the incredible importance “the Squire of Buck Spring” had had in the new American nation, and, more interestingly, the influence he had on such later and much better known figures as John C. Calhoun and President John Tyler.

Stratfor has 11 chilling predictions for what the world will look like in 10 years

Earlier this year, private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting, or Stratfor, published its Decade Forecast, in which it projects the next 10 years of global political and economic developments.

While international analysts often try their hand at predicting the major events of the coming year, Stratfor believes that it's identified the major trends of the next 10.

In many ways, Stratfor thinks the world a decade from now will be more dangerous place, with US power waning and other prominent countries experiencing a period of chaos and decline.

Trump thinks he can win without get-out-the-vote operation

Donald Trump seems to think he has revolutionized political campaigns.  Without spending much money, he is on top of the national polls but is behind in Iowa and losing ground according to some polls in New Hampshire.  Trump is running a campaign without spending money on polling, paid advertisements, or get-out-the-vote efforts.  He probably views it as cost-effective, but it may end up costing him the nomination.

Christ Hidden in Our Schools, While Muhammad Roams the Halls Freely

In the U.S., the media mocks those who make their Christian practices public-such as praying for victims of terrorism or young people committing to abstain from sexual relations until married. Yet that same media attacks those voicing concerns about terrorism's link to Islamic beliefs as being Islamophobic.

In America, we see a nation so intimidated by political correctness that people in positions of responsibility make illogical decisions concerning the observation of a Christian holiday.

Recently, Eujin Jaela Kim, a new principal at Public School (PS) 169 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New York, decided to prohibit the use of the word "Christmas" or displays of anything related to it including Santa, angels, gift-giving, a star, etc. Not only was Christmas taboo, Kim also mandated the Pledge of Allegiance be eliminated along with references to Thanksgiving Day.

Fortunately, when this story broke last week, Kim's boss, School Superintendent Anita Skop, took immediate action. While the Pledge had not been heard since the beginning of the school year at PS 169, it was recited loud and clear a few days after the story was published over the school's public address system by two fifth graders. The Christmas and Thanksgiving bans were also lifted.

Liberals Open Home To Muslim ‘Refugees’ – Then Get A NASTY Surprise

Back in July, Andrew and Rae Wartnaby made headlines when they opened up their 50-acre farm in South Africa to 143 Muslim refugees supposedly fleeing oppression from Islamic militants in the Middle East. Just months after this generous act, the Wartnabys were threatened with slaughter by these very same refugees who they had once helped.

According to Mad World News, the Muslim refugees attacked the Wartnaby home early one morning last week and said they would kill Andrew if the couple did not immediately leave the property. The angry Muslims accused the couple of “not helping them to be relocated back home or to another country,” and informed them that it was their responsibility to provide them with visas and passports

“I immediately asked if everyone is okay but they kept shouting that tonight was my night and they will kill me. I haven’t slept since then,” Andrew said.

Controlled Media and Black Mall Riots

 Via Nancy

 mall--lead-01
 This coverage is in stark contrast to any incident involving white people—where the controlled media goes out of its way to emphasize that the perpetrators are white. In any incident involving whites and nonwhites, the media almost always also accuses the whites of “racism.”

*********************

Thousands of blacks have once again rioted at shopping malls across America over the past weekend—but the controlled media is still pretending not to notice the race of the rioters, describing them as “teens” and “youths.”

The largest riot took place at the Mall St. Matthews in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday, December 26, when 2,000 blacks ran amok, looting, fighting, and even firing shots at passerby.

Jesus depictions today further promote a white supremacist agenda

Commies emerging from the woodwork.

To be clear, Christmas in the United States, despite the name, has very little to do with Jesus Christ and everything to do with consumerism and gift giving.

However, side by side with Easter, it’s also the time when we are most likely to see depictions of Jesus used as tools of white supremacy.

In Atlanta, I see them everywhere I go. Jesus as a blond-haired, blue-eyed baby and his blue-eyed supermodel mother are ubiquitous and done without even a slight hint of humor. It's preposterous. It would truly be no different from depicting Christopher Columbus as a dark-skinned African or Thomas Jefferson as a long-haired Latino. People actually look a certain way.
