Padraig Martin, ed.
The Honorable Cause: A Free South –12 Southern Essays
Self-published, 2023

In concluding his great work The Southern Tradition at Bay, which was published five years after the author’s death in 1968, Richard Weaver leaves us with some truly haunting words: “The South which entered the twentieth century had largely ceased to be a fighting South.”

Although this statement was false in a literal sense, since throughout the twentieth century the American South had provided the United States military some of its best fighting men, it was true in that these men had largely ceased fighting as Southerners. (more…)

The Galvanized Yankees

One of the regiments operating in the Dakota Territory during the Civil War was the 1st US Volunteer Infantry. This regiment deserves a special mention because its story includes bringing former white enemies together who then went on to advance American civilization. (more…)

Little Crow was the leader of the Sioux during the 1862 Dakota War. He went to war because imprudent men had called him a coward. He had no grand strategy or clearly defined war aims. His actions initiated a series of Indian wars which would not end until 1890.

Wilmot Robertson wrote that “[t]he decline of the American Majority began with the political and military struggle between North and South.” This is indeed true.

Beware of a new epidemic, Gibsmedat Fever!

Blacks with an entitlement complex think the government that freed their long-forgotten ancestors now owes them back wages. This became San Francisco’s second Black Plague when they entertained the ridiculous idea of collective compensation. (more…)

Post-Teenaged Man Charged With Shooting at White Family Whose Basketball Rolled Into His Yard

Since it is now standard journalistic practice to refer to rampaging black criminals as “teens,” a recent story from North Carolina requires me to refer to a 24-year-old black male accused of attempted murder as a “post-teenaged man.”

Last week’s news cycle was dominated by the saga of a black teen who was shot by an 84-year-old white man after ringing the wrong doorbell. (more…)

One of the most neurotic things about white people is the desperation so many of them have to be perceived as moral. Most will virtue-signal in a variety of cheap and easy ways. Those who take it seriously will often descend into activism. But there is one way to virtue signal — indeed, it is the best way — that will sanctify one’s morality for all to see: care more for outgroup members than for ingroup members.

After all, what motivation could there be — other than pure angelic virtue — for doing something so utterly self-defeating? (more…)

The idea of a national divorce has been trending lately thanks in part to a recent tweet storm from Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG). And by “national divorce,” she basically means stepping up to the line of red-state secession and not crossing it. As with most happenings in politics, all substantive change must be incremental and not instant. (more…)

An Anonymous January 6th Prisoner
The American Regime
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill Publishing, 2022

On January 6, 2021, a large group of mostly peaceful protestors entered the US Capitol to protest the fraudulent election of 2020. The bulk of the protestors milled around aimlessly and took selfies. They were met with a vicious response from the police. Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed US Air Force veteran, was shot in the neck by a sub-Saharan law enforcement officer with a record of professional infractions. (more…)
