True Christian Nationalism

For there is nothing inherently wrong with being Christian, or nationalistic, or both.  In fact, Christian nationalists, if you think about what those two words together must denote, have been around for well over 1,000 years, with plenty of good and bad examples.  The good or bad outcome of putting these powerful myth and symbol systems together all depends on who does the mixing and for what purpose. A good candidate for the first Christian nationalist would be Charlemagne, King of the Franks in the late 8th century after the birth of Christ, who eventually claimed the title of Holy Roman Emperor.
