A Great Adventure

Our liberty comes from God, it is not something granted at the whim of the state. As the Declaration of Independence (written by a Southerner) affirms so profoundly, the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are inalienable. However, enjoying these rights in practical, day-to-day terms requires us to defend them from the abuses and usurpations of a despotic Regime. Knowing that God is the author of our liberty, that He is the author of life and the universal moral order, also makes us humble. We are all too aware of our own weaknesses. In humility and faith, all we can do is study and think and seek wise counsel and pray for wisdom. Then, in faith, we have to go forward along the path we believe is right.

We’ve chosen a path that even to us appears neither easy nor possibly even safe. There are risks in asserting our sovereignty amid the overwhelming pressure to bend the knee to the Leviathan state. But we feel by God’s grace we’ve made the right choice, the only choice possible in the circumstances. Only the unfolding of events will tell whether we were foolish or right; and moreover, that we had foresight and courage. In that sense then, the SNC is a great human adventure. If you’re bored with the stultifying tedium and the meaninglessness of modern life, come join us in the great adventure.

No matter what challenges and setbacks we may face, we Southerners must remember that the only future we own, the only destiny we control, and the only change we can truly accomplish, is ours, and in ourselves. If we Southern patriots seem weak compared the pampered toadies of the Regime, with all their perquisites, privileges, and powers, remember that we have the spirit of Lee and Jackson, of Forrest and Cleburne living in us. And we have the spirit of an earlier generation, of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, of Patrick Henry and Francis Marion. We are the heirs of their courage and devotion. Their spirit cries out within us against corruption, injustice, folly, and oppression. It is this spirit that will enable us to rise to the occasion as history demands.

The past is set, but the future is ours. Join us in building a Southern National Congress and in claiming the future that is our birthright.
