Sorry about the confusion. I was referring to Red's suggesting that whatever Patrick Henry believed in 1775 is relevant today in 2010. Red, it would be just as valid for me to say that if Patrick Henry had lived through our whole country's history, and was alive today (and was 274 years old) that he would understand where we have arrived after all we have been through. He would surely quibble with certain things, as we all do, but to claim that you know that he would embrace secession at this time? That is a fantasy. I didn’t mean you GOPG.

The other is that scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the Green Knight keeps getting his limbs chopped off but does not have the bare minimal horse sense to yield even when he is beaten to a torso. In the end, legless and armless, you still claim some sort of "victory". That’s one (very inaccurate) interpretation.

Just because there are groups that are not radical enough such that someone could be a part of it and not accrue much negative impact, doesn't mean that ALL groups have that quality. Basically, I would be distressed if "authentic conservatives" would consider any association with LOTS as a positive. But I guess that depends on what you mean by "authentic conservatives".

White Nationalists are quite vocal in their dislike for paleocons, who they see as insufficiently racialist, and are generally nationalist (as the name implies) and not decentralist like the League. Also many white nats tend to be pagans or the heretical Christian Identity sect. The League is openly orthodox Christian.

No, not just like that. I mean, could you be a member of Aryan Nations and be respected by “authentic conservatives” because you don’t agree with them entirely?
