'''''Original Fundamentalism article'''''

'''Fundamentalism''' is a theological tendency seeking to follow and preserve what are believed to be the essential fundamentals of a [[religion]] or ideology. Followers of fundamentalism often seek to prevent what they perceive to be the liberalization of these fundamentals.

Often the term "fundamentalism" is used in a pejorative way by opponents of [[Christianity]].

'''''Original Fundamentalist article'''''

'''Fundamentalism''' is a movement which began within [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Christianity]] in the late [[19th century]] in opposition to the emergence of [[modernism]] within several denominations. The term itself was popularized by [[R.A. Torrey]] when he published his book ''The Fundamentals'' in 1917. Fundamentalism stresses several points:

* The inerrancy of the [[Bible]]
* The [[Virgin Birth]] of [[Christ]]
* The bodily [[resurrection]] of Christ
* The substitutionary [[atonement]] of Christ on the cross
* The literal nature of the Biblical accounts of Christ's miracles, the [[Creation]] account in Genesis, and so on
* Sopporting doctrine within respective denominations

Fundamentalism held to these points in opposition to such trends as [[higher criticism]] and the increasing acceptance of [[Darwinism]], which were popular among modernists. Fundamentalist movements were found in most Protestant denominations by the early [[20th century]], with the debate between fundamentalists and modernists especially strong in [[Presbyterian]] and [[Baptist]] churches. The term fundamentalism would later come to be closely associated with [[dispensationalist]] beliefs, belief in the impending Second Coming of Christ, and with [[Evangelical]] Christianity in general.

Politically, Fundamentalism is often associated with [[paleoconservative|Paleoconservatism]].

Today the term is used by the [[liberal media]] to mean any philosophy which stresses strict, and literal adherence to a set of basic principles, and is used as a [[pejorative]] by [[secular]]ists to describe any religion, not just Christianity. For example the terms "fundamentalist Muslim" and "fundamentalist Hindu" are frequently used. Typically the reference is to religious fundamentalism though can have a secular meaning.

Paleoconservative

2008-07-04T21:26:47Z

AdiSchlee: /* Culture */

'''Paleoconservative''' is a term that describes an academic or scholarly [[conservative]] who emphasizes religious heritage, national and Western identity, [[tradition]], [[civil society]] and classical [[federalism]], the importance of [[demographics]], and an anti-interventionist policy of [[Robert Taft]]. Paleoconservatives oppose [[illegal immigration]], [[communism]], [[authoritarianism]], [[social democracy]] and entitlement programs.

Many paleoconservatives identify themselves as "classical conservatives" and trace their philosophy to the [[Old Right]] [[Republicans]] of the interwar period, which helped keep the U.S. out of the [[United Nations|League of Nations]], reduce immigration with the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924, and oppose [[Franklin Roosevelt]]. They often look back even further, to [[Edmund Burke]], as well as the American anti-federalist movement that stretched from the days of [[Thomas Jefferson]] to [[John C. Calhoun]].

Paleoconservatism is a dominant paradigm in the [[Bible Belt]] states.

==Etymology==
The term paleoconservative was first used by either [[Thomas Fleming]] or [[Paul Gottfried]] originally as a joke, with the "paleo" prefix meaning "old" in opposition to the "neo", or "new", conservatives. Even though the term was used by the paleoconservatives' enemies because they saw it as unflattering, it is now routinely used by both its proponents and its detractors.<ref>'''Phillips, Dan''' "What the Heck is a Paleoconservative and Why You Should Care" (2006) [http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2006/12/08/what-the-heck-is-a-paleoconservative-and-why-you-should-care/ Intellectual Conservative]. Accessed 26 December 2007.</ref>

Gottfried wrote in his entry to ''American Conservatism: An Encyclopedia'': "Paleoconservative" becomes a conceptual and political counterpoint to "neoconservative" in "The Conservative Movement" by Thomas Fleming and Paul Gottfried (1988). Here the term no longer refers merely to conservative traditionalists of the 1950s and 1960s, e.g., Southern Agrarians, Catholic anticommunists associated with "National Review", and Taft Republicans who rallied to the Cold War. Instead, the term is now applied to embattled conservatives who opposed the growing influence of anticommunist New Deal Democrats on the Reagan presidency and on the conservative movement on the 1980s."

==Philosophy==
Paleoconservatism "is distinguished by certain [[Philosophy|philosophical]] presumptions that differ markedly from the presumptions of [[neocon]]s and most modern conservatives."<ref>'''Phillips, Dan''' "What the Heck is a Paleoconservative and Why You Should Care" op cit.</ref>

Unlike most conservatives today, paleoconservatives are against the [[Iraq War]]. They are highly critical of the [[George W. Bush|Bush administration]] and the mainstream conservative movement. Paleoconservatism vocally distinguishes itself in its opposition to [[neoconservative|neoconservatism]]. However, what really sets them apart from other conservatives is much deeper than just policy: they generally reject the [[Enlightenment]] in whole or in part; they reject [[John Locke|Lockean]] "[[Social contract|contract theory]]" and the concept of "natural rights" outright. Dr. Donald Livingston, Professor of Philosophy at [[Emory University]], has argued that natural rights are a "philosophical superstition," and that "Whatever they might be, natural rights are universal and apply to all men. Further, they are known by reason, independent of any inherited moral tradition... It follows, therefore, that the doctrine of natural rights must be in a condition of permanent hostility to all inherited moral traditions. Any such tradition, no matter how noble the goods of excellence cultivated in it, can always be seen as violating ''someone's'' natural rights under some interpretation or another."<ref>'''Phillips, Dan''' "Understanding the Paleoconservative Perspective on Life" (2006) [http://www.intellectualconservative.com/2006/10/31/understanding-the-paleoconservative-perspective-on-life/ Intellectual Conservative]. Accessed 26 December 2007.</ref>

Paleos agree with mainstream conservatives on issues like opposition to [[secularism]], [[abortion]] on demand and [[gay marriage]], while supporting capital punishment, handgun ownership and an original intent reading of the [[U.S. Constitution]]. Paleocons also often argue that modern managerial society is a threat to stable families.

=== Government ===

Paleos strongly oppose American membership in the [[United Nations]]. They also seek to limit the power of the [[Federal|Federal Government]], while strongly supporting [[Local Government|State's Rights]]. Paleos believe America was founded as a [[Constitutional Republic]] and support this form of government in favor of pure [[democracy]]. Some paleos in the [[Neo-Confederate]] movement, support the seccession of the Southern States.

=== Culture ===

Paleoconservatives differ from neoconservatives on [[immigration]], [[affirmative action]] and, unlike mainstream conservatives, paleos generally are [[Separate Development|separatist]] and oppose [[miscegenation]] (multicultural integration). Paleoconservatives also question the supposition that [[European]] [[culture]] and mores can ever be transplanted or forced upon non-Western cultures, due to separate cultural heritages. As a result, paleocons are most distinctive in their emphatic opposition to open immigration by non-Europeans, and their general disapproval of U.S. intervention overseas for the purposes of exporting democracy.<ref>http://www.nationalinvestor.com/Experts-Lubinskas.htm</ref>

=== Religion ===

Paleoconservatives are [[Conservative Christianity|Conservative Christians]], like [[Christian Fundamentalism|Protestant Fundamentalists]] and [[Traditionalist Cathlics]]. They oppose religious [[pluralism]] and support orthodoxy of the [[doctrine]] within the respective denominations. They stress the importance of the need of America to return to its Christian Heritage.

=== Economy ===

Paleoconservatives support [[free market]] [[capitalism]], but many are ardent opponents of [[free trade]], citing disintegration of America's manufacturing base, and American dependance on imports as adverse effects of free trade. They strongly oppose all forms of [[socialism]] or [[communism]]. They seek to replace [[Federal Reserve System]] with a Constitutional monetary system. They are deeply concerned with the United States' loans of large amounts of money from the [[World Bank]] and the huge trade deficit the country is experiencing. Unlike mainstream conservatives, paleos oppose the continuing US financial support of [[Israel]]. Like other conservatives, they emphasize the importance of creating jobs for the working class and the slashing of [[taxes]] and spending.

== Definitions ==

In the March 2004 edition of [[Chronicles (magazine)|''Chronicles'']] magazine, Samuel Francis defined paleoconservatism versus conservatism as: "What paleoconservatism tries to tell Americans is that the dominant forces in their society are no longer committed to conserving the traditions, institutions, and values that created and formed it, and, therefore, that those who are really conservative in any serious sense and wish to live under those traditions, institutions, and values need to oppose the dominant forces and form new ones."

Journalist Rod Dreher of the ''Dallas Morning News'' outlined what he called the "Crunchy Con Manifesto", which summarizes most paleoconservative principles:

*"We are conservatives who stand outside the conservative mainstream; therefore, we can see things that matter more clearly.
*Modern conservatism has become too focused on money, power, and the accumulation of stuff, and insufficiently concerned with the content of our individual and social character.
*Big business deserves as much skepticism as big government.
*Culture is more important than politics and economics.
*A conservatism that does not practice restraint, humility, and good stewardship — especially of the [[Conservation|natural world]] — is not fundamentally conservative.
*Small, Local, Old, and Particular are almost always better than Big, Global, New, and Abstract.
*Beauty is more important than efficiency.
*The relentlessness of media-driven pop culture deadens our senses to authentic truth, beauty, and wisdom.
*We share Russell Kirk’s conviction that “the institution most essential to conserve is the family.”
*Politics and economics won’t save us; if our culture is to be saved at all, it will be by faithfully living by the [[Russell Kirk|Permanent Things]], conserving these ancient moral truths in the choices we make in our everyday lives."<ref>'''Dreher, Rod''' "A Crunchy Con Manifesto" [http://crunchycon.nationalreview.com/about/ National Review Online]. Accessed 26 December 2007.</ref>

The leading publications of the paleoconservatives includes ''[[The American Conservative]]'' and ''[[Chronicles (magazine)]].'' Perhaps the most well known paleoconservative is [[Patrick J. Buchanan]]. Other paleoconservatives include [[Peter Brimelow]], [[Thomas Fleming]], the late [[Samuel Francis]], [[Peter Hitchens]], [[William S. Lind]], [[Scott McConnell]], [[Charley Reese]], [[Paul Craig Roberts]], [[Steve Sailer]], and [[Clyde Wilson]]. The term has also been applied to the three key intellectuals in post-war conservatism: [[Russell Kirk]], [[Richard Weaver]], and [[Robert Nisbet]].

Separatism

2008-07-04T21:15:09Z

AdiSchlee: /* Cultural Separatism */

'''Separatism''' is a term used to describe a belief hed by a specific group of people, that is, the desire to remain seperated from different groups of people. The reason, as well as the degree of the desired separateness, may vary significantly from group to group.

== Forms of Separatism ==

=== Religious Separatism ===

This is a belief held by most [[conservative]] [[christians]] of many denominations and is especially common in [[Fundamentalism|Fundamentalist Christianity]]. They believe that Christians should remain separate from other religious groups, and intermarriage with non-christians is avoided.

=== Cultural Separatism ===

''See also: [[Separate Development]]''

There are many different forms of cultural separatism, however all aims towards the same goal: preserving a certain [[Ethnic Group|ethnic/cultural group's]] culture. These groups desire seperateness from other ethnic groups and races. In some cases cultural separatism is merely a form of Christian Separatism, like the [[Boers|Calvinist Boers]] and [[paleoconservatives]].

=== Racial Separatism ===

Very similar to cultural separatism, although here the emphises falls on race and not culture. While cultural seperatists desire their ethnicity to be protected against all other cultures, regardless of race, racial seperatists seek to preserve a the purity of a specific race, which may consist of many ethnicities. It should be noted, however, that cultural separatists can be ragarded partially as racial separatists, since an ethnic group always consists of people from the same race.

Segregation

AdiSchlee: /* See Also */

'''Segregation''' means to separate groups of people based on race by government mandate. In the [[United States]], the policy was created and enforced by the [[Democratic Party]] starting in the 1870s. Segregation was allowed in public schools by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] in [[Plessy v. Ferguson]] (1896), but then prohibited in [[Brown v. Board of Education]] (1954).

In addition to the public schools, segregation existed in the United States in the military and in public accommodations like trains, buses, restaurants, movie theaters and hotels before being banned everywhere except in private clubs by federal [[law]]. Such facilities as public restrooms and even drinking fountains were also segregated.

Boer Calvinism

2008-07-04T19:55:47Z

AdiSchlee: /* Distinctives */

'''Boer Calvinism''' refers to the distinct form of [[Calvinism]] that has long been the religion of the overwelming majority of Boer-Afrikaners and one of the most significant distinctions of their culture.

== History ==

The [[Reformed Churches|Reformed religion]] in [[South Africa]] originated when [[Jan van Riebeeck]], the first white man to settle in Southern Africa, made a [[covenant]] with God, that he would spread the Reformed faith in their new country. Boers see themselves as bound to this covenant.

Many spiritual birth of the Boer people is generally cosidered to be their [[Great Trek of the Boers|Great Trek]], which took place during the first half of the 19th century. Apart from the desire to remain independent from foreign rule, another major reason for this migration, is the Anglicanization of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Cape. In the Covenant of [[The Battle of Blood River]], still observed by Boers, on the 16th of December every year, the Voortrekkers declared their belief in their people's complete dependence on God for their existence.

Two Boer Republics were founded in the 1850s and the [[Dutch Reformed (Hervormde) Church]] was the national Church in the South African Republic (1852) and the Orange Free State (1854) was named after the Calvinist [[House of Orange]] in the [[Netherlands]]. Many Boers were members of the conservative [[Reformed Churches in South Africa]], founded in 1859.

Because the Trekkers were partly isolated from Europe, they remained free from many of the [[liberal]] tendencies, which influenced European [[Calvinism]] during the 19th century.

== Boere-Afrikaner Calvinism Today ==

While many Boers were members of the [[Dutch Reformed Church (NG Kerk)]] in the past, very few have remained as the church has gradually grown more liberal. The same can be said of the [[Dutch Reformed (Hervormde) Church]], although in this denomination, as well as in the [[Reformed Churches in South Africa]], Boers remain a significant minority. Boers now comporomise the overwelming majority of the members of the [[Afrikaans Protestant Church]] and the smaller [[Afrikaans Reformation Church]].

The [[BCVO]] ('Movement for Christian-National Education') is a federation of 47 [[Calvinist]] private schools, primarily located in the Free State and the Transvaal, comitted to educating Boer children from grade 0 through to 12.

== Doctrine ==

In the Dutch Reformed tradition, Boer Calvinists faithfully subscribe to the [[Three Forms of Unity]]. Boer Calvinism can be characterized as Orthodox, Conservative and Fundamentalist.

=== Distinctives ===

* Boers faithfully celebrate the Covenant of Blood River on the 16th of December every year.
* They generally use the 1953-translation of the Afrikaans Bible.
* They believe every nation have a biblical command to [[separatism|remain separated]] and protect their own culture, according to God's creation-order. Boer Calvinists strive to protect the Boere-Afrikaner Culture.
