If we're going to be living in Anglo-Saxon architecture, I better get down to the local wetland and harvest some cattails for making rush lights. It still gets dark early and I've got manuscripts to write.
The problem with their little effort here is, America - at least it's post-colonial political roots - are far more Greco-Roman with it comes to having an architectural style. The "Anglo-Saxon political traditions" I kind of like since it immediately conflicts with the view of America being a Christian nation.If we're going to be living in Anglo-Saxon architecture, I better get down to the local wetland and harvest some cattails for making rush lights.

Now then, who's with me for rounding up some Canada geese? I'm also going to need some goose fat to keep those rush lights lit for a decent interval.
And a less well-known passageThus from a mixture of all kinds began,
That het’rogeneous thing, an Englishman:
In eager rapes, and furious lust begot,
Betwixt a painted Britain and a Scot.
Whose gend’ring off-spring quickly learn’d to bow,
And yoke their heifers to the Roman plough:
From whence a mongrel half-bred race there came,
With neither name, nor nation, speech nor fame.
In whose hot veins new mixtures quickly ran,
Infus’d betwixt a Saxon and a Dane.
While their rank daughters, to their parents just,
Receiv’d all nations with promiscuous lust.
This nauseous brood directly did contain
The well-extracted blood of Englishmen.
Tis well that virtue gives nobility,
Else God knows where had we our gentry,
Since scarce one family is left alive,
Which does not from some foreigner derive.
Of sixty thousand English gentlemen,
Whose names and arms in registers remain,
We challenge all our heralds to declare
Ten families which English Saxons are.
Colorado state Rep. Ron Hanks (R) is facing criticism after he made a lynching joke on the state House floor and argued that the Three-Fifths Compromise of 1787 “was not impugning anyone’s humanity.”
The newly elected lawmaker, who was part of the insurrectionist mob that marched on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was mistakenly introduced as Rep. Lynch during debate on a bipartisan bill to strengthen civics education in Colorado public schools. (There is a Colorado lawmaker named Mike Lynch).
“Being called Mr. Lynch might be a good thing for what I’m about to say. No, just kidding,” Hanks began.
I've heard the argument, that:He then defended the Three-Fifths Compromise, the agreement reached at the nation’s founding that counted slaves as three-fifths of a person when determining a state’s population.
“Going back to the founding, and going back to the three-fifths, and I heard the comments and I appreciate them, and I respect them. But the Three-Fifths Compromise, of course, was an effort by non-slave states to try to reduce the amount of representation that the slave states had,” he said. “It was not impugning anybody’s humanity.”
But here's the thing: The politicians who came up with the Compromise hated slavery. And people who hated slavery back then wanted to abolish it, not codify it into the laws of their new country. Simply outlawing slavery would not pass. And allowing Southern states to count slaves "as a full person" without representation, without any rights, would definitely allow them to dominate the government.The three-fifths compromise was designed to stunt the power of the slave states, with the purpose of eventually ending the disgusting practice of slavery.
Don't watch it!! It's worse than TVTropes when it comes to time sinks - his average "large" projects are 10-16 hours over multiple YouTube vids, and they're all fascinating.
From the Wapo articleInteresting thread on the history of "America First"(aka American fascist) movements :
Meanwhile, MTG (Q: Georgia) is walking it back...publicly, anyway.
In connection with the Anglo-Saxon roads,On infrastructure, the caucus calls for the construction of roads, bridges and buildings that reflect “the architectural, engineering and aesthetic value that befits the progeny of European architecture, whereby public infrastructure must be utilitarian as well as stunningly, classically beautiful, befitting a world power and source of freedom.”
Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire,
And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire;
A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread
The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.
