Taking on the idols
Wilson is a master in cranking out non-replies, that I will cede. And of lousy thinking. And of evasion. I am blessed, though, that this time I didn’t have to read too much of it. Only three points, none of which is relevant to the issue, and none of which answers the problem I posted in my original critique. It […]

I reckon it doesn’t take long to write a non-reply. Perhaps between two cups of coffee in the morning, and, bam, it’s ready. Not that I know it of personal experience; just admiring Douglas Wilson’s quickness of producing a piece that claims to reply to my critique, and yet in all the paragraphs in that piece there is not a […]

I couldn’t predict this would happen some day, but there it is: I sincerely wish Douglas Wilson had plagiarized more than he already has. Specifically, I wish he had plagiarized my article on “Brown, Garner, and the Application of Biblical Law to Homicide and Murder.” Without quotes. Without mentioning my name. Just like usual. I wouldn’t object. I wouldn’t even […]

God certainly has a sense of humor. Or, rather, irony. Or, even more precise, devastating sarcasm for those who eagerly devote themselves to serve idols. That’s what He did with the Old Testament Israel. “You think worshipping idols is better than worshipping Me? Alrighty, then, I’ll put you under the political and economic power of these idols to see how […]

Mistress Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow? There were two kinds of plants back in Eastern Europe, before 1989. One kind was the quiet type. The informant. He would never distinguish himself by anything. He’d do exactly what he is told to do, and he may innocently ask questions – as if to clarify what he is […]

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for […]

My previous article, “The Reality of the Police State”, focused a lot on police procedure, LEO mindset, and the correlation between police procedure and our national philosophy on foreign policy. But, I want to give a more practical perspective on law enforcement, and why I as a white man fear the police just as much as a black man does. Just to be […]

Remember this cartoon? It’s only a year and a half old. It was published on a conservative web-site, and re-published on Facebook and re-tweeted probably millions of times. Those stupid liberals, they are such hypocrites: question authority, then don’t question authority. Yeah, those were the days, my friends, when conservatives were all about questioning authority. Obamacare was passed, and the […]

Browsing the Internet last week, I saw close to a hundred articles written by preachers, pastors, and churchian celebrities, condemning the Ferguson protests. Who knows how many more preachers used their Sunday morning hour to do the same. That’s what any preacher in America just loves to do: Verbally crack down on impersonal, private, powerless targets who have shown some […]

If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive. Alinsky’s Rule #10 American conservatives never really learn. They study their own past defeats and mistakes, they analyze them, they discover the ingenious and devious ways in which their enemies have worked below the radar while laying smoke screens for the public, and they write […]
