I just found your blog and enjoyed reading this post. I haven't had time to go back too far in your writings, but I appreciate your distinction here between traditional conservatism and the alt-right. I think we can see the same lack of principles and "oppositional Theology" leading to the downfall of the American church, which makes sense considering the church is the rudder of the culture (Moby Dick).
I saw in another post that you mentioned Rushdoony. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Rushdoony's theonomy, which is bottom-up compared to the Scottish Covenanters' theonomy, which was more top-down. Do you mind sharing?
