As documented by author Suzanne Simons in her 2009 book Master of War: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> USA’s Erik Prince and the Business of War, Prince grew up in a religious household and attended Christian schools; the Princes were members of the Reformed Church in America, a conservative Christian sect that follows the philosophical template of theologian John Calvin.</p><p>"Edgar Prince worked as a die caster and then chief engineer for the die cast machine manufacturing outfit Buss Machine Works after serving in the US Air Force. In 1965 he and two co-workers struck out on their own to establish Prince Manufacturing. By the 1970s the company expanded its operations and became financially successful, as did the Prince family. Edgar Prince died of heart failure in 1995, and the company was sold to Johnson Controls for over $1 billion.</p><p>"Surrounded by those who share their belief in Christian-based politics, the Prince family has used its fortune to help build the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ConservativeChristian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConservativeChristian</span></a> movement. Focus on the Family founder James Dobson and Richard Nixon’s disgraced former special counsel Charles Colson (who became a born-again Christian after serving seven months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal) were family friends. Edgar and Elsa Prince were major contributors to the Family Research Council and founded the nonprofit Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation in 1979, substantial funds from which have gone toward the effort to abolish the legal wall separating church and state. The Prince family also has deep ties to the Council for National Policy (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CNP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CNP</span></a>) which, according to its vision statement, supports “a united conservative movement to assure, by 2020, policy leadership and governance that restores religious and economic freedom, a strong national defense, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JudeoChristian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JudeoChristian</span></a> values under the Constitution.”</p><p>"From Reverend <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BillyGraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BillyGraham</span></a>’s “spiritual counsel” to twelve US presidents, to Reverend <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JerryFalwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JerryFalwell</span></a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MoralMajority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MoralMajority</span></a> movement of the 1970s and ’80s, to Marion Gordon <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatRobertson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PatRobertson</span></a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianCoalition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianCoalition</span></a> (now the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianCoalitionOfAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianCoalitionOfAmerica</span></a>), the movement to push a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fundamentalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fundamentalist</span></a> “Judeo-Christian” agenda into the public sphere has been an ongoing crusade. Keeping with family tradition, Erik Prince’s sister Betsy married fellow Christian right figure Dick DeVos, whose father is the founder of Amway and the past president of the CNP from 1990-1993. Betsy DeVos served as the chair of the Michigan Republican Party and now serves as US Secretary of Education under Donald Trump. The DeVos dynasty, labelled a “family of extremists” by the Center for American Progress, is undoubtedly having an influence on the Trump White House."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://thehumanist.com/magazine/july-august-2018/features/theocratic-mercenary-erik-prince-christian-right" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thehumanist.com/magazine/july-</span><span class="invisible">august-2018/features/theocratic-mercenary-erik-prince-christian-right</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFascists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mercenaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mercenaries</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGADeathCult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGADeathCult</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightWing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RightWing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ViolentExtremists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ViolentExtremists</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>"The Case for Christian Nationalism"<br>is a 2022 book by Stephen Wolfe.</p><p>The book argues for <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nationalism</span></a> based on cultural and ethnic affinity from a Christian perspective,<br>and a retrieval of traditional Christian political thought</p><p>Summary</p><p>Stephen Wolfe approaches nationalism as becoming conscious of, and "being for", one's own "<a href="https://c.im/tags/people" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>people</span></a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/group" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>group</span></a>".</p><p>He argues that <a href="https://c.im/tags/homogeneity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homogeneity</span></a> within each people-group allows it to more properly pursue the good <br>by ordering earthly life toward heavenly life, <br>and that while a principal image of heavenly life can be found in Christian worship, <br>💥only a Christian nation can provide a complete image.</p><p>Wolfe argues for homogeneity by constructing a theological anthropology, <br>positing that humans would have formed separate, culturally distinct communities, <br>even if the fall of man had not occurred.</p><p>In addition, he argues that this should be accomplished through a "measured <a href="https://c.im/tags/theocratic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theocratic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Caesarism"

target="_blank">#<span>Christian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prince</span></a>.</p><p>Wolfe follows early Reformed thinkers, such as Francis Turretin, in<br>🧨 assigning the government a role in suppressing outward displays of "false religion", </p><p>-- but not a power to coerce the conscience or inward religion.</p><p>The civil magistrate is tasked with wielding "formal civil power" for the public good.</p><p>He also argues that Christian nationalism is compatible with the tradition of the American founding.</p><p>Reception:</p><p>In a review, Kevin DeYoung of The Gospel Coalition gave the book one star out of five, stating, <br>"I understand and sympathize with the desire for something like Christian Nationalism, <br>but if this book represents the best of that ism, <br>then ➡️ Christian Nationalism is not the answer the church or our nation needs."</p><p>Paul Matzko of Reason magazine called the book "<a href="https://c.im/tags/segregationist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>segregationist</span></a>", <br>stating, <br>"Wolfe's ethnicized vision of Christian nationalism is a reminder that, in a post-liberal vacuum, <br>➡️ fearful American Christians have become easy targets for people whispering to take up the sword of the state and smite their foes."</p><p>James Clark of The North American Anglican wrote that "Wolfe's account of revolution could be stronger" <br>but he has nevertheless "written something important here, <br>something that deserves to be read and contemplated."</p><p>Owen Strachan suggests that ⚠️the New Testament is largely missing from "Wolfe's Thomistic project of political philosophy."</p><p>The book's epilogue has a looser tone and structure from the preceding chapters. <br>Reviewers have called it a "<a href="https://c.im/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener"
