[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed that you don't always log in and I've got to say, PaleoCon, I would know to know what posts of yours around this board are Anonymous. I bet they would be very telling.[/quote]
PaleoCon here
That's not really true. I've been logged in for most of my posts, and for those I am not I say "PaleoCon here". It's not fair to accuse me of creating bad posts anonymously. [/quote]

No, not accusing you of making bad posts, [b]just interested in what you would say if let loose in an anonymous setting with boards for Politics and Religion[/b].

Just being nosy.[/quote]

Well I'll give you an idea. Here are some words that describe me.
1. Christian ( I'm a very devout Calvinist Anglican. I believe that the Bible is the inerrant and inspired Word of God. I hold strictly to the 39 Articles of Religion and the 3 Forms of Unity.  I pray out of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer every morning and evening.  You could call me a traditional Episcopalian, but I don't usually call myself an Episcopalian because the Episcopal Church has gone wild, and is now an apostate church. My favorite theologians are St. Augustine, Martin Luther, John Calvin, J Gresham Machen, and Gordon H. Clark)
2. Classical Conservative/Paleoconservative (I'm an old-school conservative. I'm extremely socially conservative, anti-feminist, anti-multiculturalism, anti-secularism, anti-Zionist,  an Isolationist on foreign policy, an advocate of replacing the income tax with a small tariff and a Protectionist on trade,  Guys who have had great influence on my thinking include Edmund Burke, Robert L Dabney, Russell Kirk, Julius Evola, Dr. Paul Gottfried, Dr. Charles Murray,  and Pat Buchanan  )
3. Anti-Democratic (I'm as anti-democratic as one can get. I agree with H.L Mencken that democracy is a system in which inferior men dominate their superiors. I am also very influenced by Julius Evola in this regard)
5. Monarchist (My ideal regime would be a Protestant monarchical/aristocratic state, with very distinct classes. (ie, the nobility, the clergy, the warrior class/military, the merchants/white collar workers, and the surfs/blue collar workers.  There would be a very small chance of mobility, but the opportunity to become a cleric should certainly be open to anyone who feels they are called to it. It would be a very socially conservative state, with the clergy having the final say in  all social matters.  The economy would be pretty free. However, there would be tarrifs on foreign imports
5. Preppy/well-mannered( I'm fairly preppy, but not obsessed with it. I also don't like the stereotype of the modern preppy guy. Today, the typical preppy guy is a wealthy guy who wears polos and thinks he is the best thing ever, then drinks his face off at the frat house. That;s certainly not me. I'd call myself a Classic Prep. I certainly like wearing nice clothes, and enjoy the finer things. However, I'm also very religious, and not a fan of obnoxious  people who are in love with themselves. I would've fit in very well at Harvard or Yale in 1900. Brooks Brothers is my favorite brand)[/quote]

I'm not saying that I went through a drmatic change. My views are pretty much the same. I'm saying that I became a lot more of a realist as far as our political system goes. I mean look at what's going on with Donald Trump. He's not even a real Right-winger, and he's being treated like a monster. My views are WAY more radical than his. I'd be torn to pieces by the media 10 minutes after I made my campaign announcement. I'm not going to soften my views to pander to the masses. I'

I'm pretty sure that Augustine would not agree with your views on social mobility.[/quote][/quote]
