El Cid

About:

Why do I sign my writings with El Cid? First it is in recognition of a significant historical figure that fought for his home and culture. We that have inherited the culture of Western civilization owe much to Diaz. Second I think the later stages of his life are important. Diaz served his king but in the end his king was turned against him by jealous courtiers. Diaz then fought for what every man has the right to fight for, his freedom and his own ability to sustain and provide for himself.

We Southerners have much in common with Diaz. We have followed the teachings of Jesus and have rendered unto Caesar what is Caesar's. We have paid the taxes levied against us by the United States. We have served in the armed forces of the United States in numbers disproportionately higher than any other region of the country. We laid down our arms in 1865 when we had the option of continuing a guerrilla war. We accepted occupation and have attempted to live God's law.

I use the legacy of El Cid to remind me and all true Southerners that there comes a time when just being a good vassal is not enough. We must again fight for our rights as a separate and free people. We must remember the words of Jesus to the Zealots and beware of the thought of using arms first. However, we must cease weakly sitting by as our culture is destroyed and perverted by the immoral and Godless Federal Tyranny (I do not use that phrase lightly).

I am a Christian, a husband, and a father. I have also served in the Army for the last 22 years (10 National Guard and 12 Active), I joined in 1985. I have been to Iraq and a dozen other places. I am a conservative (paleoconservative) with libertarian economic tendencies. I believe in a strict interpretation of the Constitution (although I believe that document has been too trampled to be of much use) and the Bible. I support the independence and self-rule of Southerners by Southerners by all means practicable. I also support any and all other legitimate states and groups seeking self-determination.

My political viewpoint at a glance:

I am best described as a paleoconservative. I am basically an agrarian and traditionalist. My principles are of the Southern nationalist ilk and my convictions Christian in nature. (in modern parlance you might add in a smidgen of libertarian thought as well - particularly on economic issues)

I disagree with the libertarian notion of open borders but laissez faire is an economic principle I agree with. I disagree (to a degree) with the libertarian view on social regulation of morality.
