Barbarians IN the gates.

 

The Yankee Problem In America, By Clyde Wilson

"By Yankee I do not mean everybody from north of the Potomac and Ohio......I am using the term historically to designate that peculiar ethnic group descended from New Englanders, who can be easily recognized by their arrogance, hypocrisy, greed, lack of congeniality, and penchant for ordering other people around. Puritans long ago abandoned anything that might be good in their religion but have never given up the notion that they are the chosen saints whose mission is to make America, and the world, into the perfection of their own image."

Dear Friends of the Abbeville Institute:

The barbarians have broken through the gates and are now running rampant through the streets.

The opening of the Lee Monument "time capsule"--with one preservationist admitting it wasn't really a time capsule because it was never intended to be opened--and the decision to hand over every Richmond Confederate Monument to groups determined to destroy them are just examples of the depravity of the woke mob.

History only matters if they agree with the historical actors.

The media will classify these actions as evidence of "racial justice," but this misses the point. America does not have a race problem. It has a Yankee problem.

The Yankee is a curious specimen, a peculiar creation of secular Puritanism and American geography. He is a self-righteous cancer determined to remake American society to fit his Utopian vision for a "just" world. He is the ideologue, the revolutionary, the reformer.

He can be found anywhere in the United States. He is Ralph Northam and Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, George W. Bush and Allen Guelzo, David Blight and Victor Davis Hanson. Not all Northerners are Yankees nor are all Southerners, "Southern."

The Southern tradition offers the only real counterweight to this disease.

It has always been the flywheel in American society. America would not exist without the South.

This is why the Abbeville Institute is essential for our future. We are the only organization dedicated to exploring what is true and valuable in the Southern tradition, a tradition that could keep America from committing suicide.

  1. Wow, thats a good trick.
    In an attempt to raise money, they deride 'the other side' as being arrogant enough to decide themselves as arbiters of what is good. We need your money to fight to show everyone that WE are the true arbiters of truth and justice. Glad to see they have such faith in themselves. Too bad they cannot see they are committing the very Sin they complain about!
    I'm not trying to defend 'The Yankee', merely pointing out the hypocrisy! Look in the mirror fer crying out loud!

  2. I only wish when the Confederacy had the chance, would have gone
    into the North and tore it up just like was done in the South
    by mentally unstable beasts like Sherman.
