Introduction

This blog will be dedicated to current events, political philosophy, and occasional bouts of theology, historical analysis, and historical linguistics :)

The name is derived from a couple different origins that are also reflected in my blog address socialpopulist.blogspot.com . First, the Red Cross represents a foundation of Christian socialist principles...that of a Social Gospel and moralistic interpretation of the mission of Christianity, tinged with the blue/purple/darker colours that usually underpin social conservatism and nationalism.

Why specifically crimson and not maroon or purple? -I grew up partially in Tuscaloosa, Alabama :)

Now the obligatory disclaimer following all political pronouncements: this blog does not endorse radical Marxism, Christian fundamentalism, or extreme nationalism/fascism. However, any of the above may be preferable to open corruption, open egoism, a state of complete libertarian moral decadence, or the politically-correct neoconservatism that reigns in America (whereby it is evil to make a racial joke but responsible to send drones to kill brown people at a wedding party). This blog stands for Christian humanism (including life ... for all!) and national sovereignty (for all!).
