Recovering All the Past Doug, or only Part of It?

” There is no way for America to recover herself without recognizing the actual sources of the actual legacy we actually squandered. That legacy came from somewhere, and all the wishing in the world won’t transform it into something that will have come from somewhere else. Subtle uses of the subjunctive can’t alter the past. And our past is a covenanted past. Our past is a Christian past. Our past is the source of the good gifts we are now using in the pursuit of our debauchery.”

I can only add an AMEN to what Doug says above even though it doesn’t cover all the territory needed to be covered.

Our past is also a White Anglo Saxon Protestant past and there is no way Doug can lead in the recovery he calls for until Doug repents of not recognizing that source of our past that he is contributing to in squandering by railing against Kinists.

Oh sure, Doug will agree with the necessity of recovering our Protestant past but he will give a “hard pass” to the need to recover our White Anglo-Saxon roots. This is what Kinists are calling for but Doug is a leading voice in denouncing this attempt by Kinists to recover our past that we have squandered. By doing so, Doug demonstrates he has a Gnostic streak running through him and that he has more in common with Moanin’ Owen Strychnine than he does with Dr. Stephen Wolfe.

Let Doug be consistent and call for the recovering the legacy of America’s White Anglo Saxon Protestant Christian past. I mean, not even Doug’s subtle usage of the subjunctive can alter the past.
