Luke Posegate

“Bringing his mother home had been beyond his power. The story of [his] life was how he strove to see that little else ever would be.” Reading this short passage one might think I’m referencing Anakin Skywalker. It’s actually a quote from American Lion about Andrew Jackson. The Anakin Skywalker trend isn’t about being “far-right,” edgy, or whatever, it’s about understanding the deepest instincts of the masculine soul that our elites have maliciously framed as evil. In reality, these instincts are bestowed by God and align with man’s proper formation as a provider and a protector. Jackson’s mother passed while tending to his sick nephews in Charleston. He was only a teenager and never had a chance to say goodbye. It is said that he had great concern the rest of his life for the whereabouts of his mother’s gravesite, which he never found. Jackson’s care drove him to become a careful steward of respect for souvenirs, burial sites, and anniversaries. While he could never bring his mother home, he memorialized his wife, Rachel, with grandeur at Hermitage. There is immense beauty in this. You should spend more time reading books about great men rather than theory. But, more importantly, you should live your life in a way that great books are written about you one day.
