re: #557 Ed E. Lishus

He also links to the dead ender of dead enders Jeralyn Merritt, so I take his blogroll with a grain of salt.

There is not enough salt in the sea to excuse Larison’s inclusion. Just my opinion, which seems to be fairly uncommon. I seem to surprise a lot of liberals with the news that Larison is a proud member of the League of the South.

Let me take this opportunity to say a few words about the League of the South, a group to which I am proud to belong for these past ten years. This group of ladies and gentlemen, for whom such terms still have their traditional meaning, endeavours to preserve their Southern, Christian cultural, religious and political heritage from the ravages of the same freethinking, Yankee spirit and empire that has gone on to devastate so many other societies, including that of those northern states gulled into the cause of Unionism. Though my lineage is almost entirely from the North, ours were the sort of conservative and republican people who opposed usurpation at every turn, and as much as my kinsman, William Plumer of New Hampshire, was right in arguing for secession over the illegalities of the Louisiana Purchase the Southern states were even more justified in resisting the usurpation of their rights. In the League of the South, I see the natural home of anyone who would honour and venerate the legacy of his ancestors and the early fathers of this country.

RTWT, if it’s not too close to lunch. He continues in the comments.
