Another example of the innumerable blessings curses that flow from allowing women to vote.
On the subject of allowing former negro slaves to vote, Dr. Dabney predicted that if people with black faces were allowed to vote, then it wouldn't be long before those with hairless faces would also clamor for the franchise.
Said to come from The Life and Letters of Robert Louis Dabney:
For a time Dabney served as Stonewall Jackson's Adjutant General/Chief of Staff. Jackson had on his staff a certain Colonel Andrew Grigsby, whom Dabney described as "a somewhat profane and eccentric man." Grigsby was skeptical of Dabney's qualifications at first, saying, "I concluded that old Jack must be a fatalist sure enough, when he put in an Ironside Presbyterian parson as his chief of staff."
After having served with Dabney a short time, Grigsby changed his tune: "Our parson is not afraid of Yankee bullets, and I tell you he preaches like hell."
Isn't that great -- the Yankee aggression brought out the best in our people. Unfortunately Dabney was known to call it God's punishment on Dixie for slavery, but nobody's perfect.
It was sensational while it lasted -- published in patriotic red and blue when I moved down, beautifully designed and written on numerous vital topics. Then it abandoned its Southern focus and is prolly pfft now, the heroic founding pastor/editor thrown out.
Yes -- the good old days when Reconstructionism was flourishing under Rushdoony. Full-page promos of the next big conference with pics of the speakers. They all hailed the pioneering work of a reverend who died too young as well, Greg Bahnsen. Wonder if JCM3 got jewed out. Building up Chalcedon Pres he took a hell of a lot of abuse from morons, with the Atlanta Constipation-Urinal calling him Joe Spacecraft etc.
