Well, I think this author managed to offend everybody on the left AND right, which may be the point. I do have some accuracy quibbles, though. First, though I have been around conservatives for decades, I’ve never heard anyone give *unqualified* endorsement to Andrew Jackson, or Nixon, and I’ve never heard any kind of positive talk about…
Well, I think this author managed to offend everybody on the left AND right, which may be the point. I do have some accuracy quibbles, though. First, though I have been around conservatives for decades, I’ve never heard anyone give *unqualified* endorsement to Andrew Jackson, or Nixon, and I’ve never heard any kind of positive talk about Joe McCarthy.
In other words, it reads like he’s never actually had a serious conversation with a conservative.
Second, his characterization of Christians, and the theology of the Holy Spirit is downright rude and ignorant. Clearly, he has also very little firsthand knowledge of either genuine Christians, or Christian theology.
It is very close, in spirit, to talking about “money grubbing Jews.” Such things might be well known mischaracterizations, acceptable in certain dark circles, but that sort of thing doesn’t contribute to thoughtful exchange. It’s disappointing to find it here. It makes me feel like I have stumbled into a meeting of the progressive equivalent to “the good ol’ boys” club. Real Christians need not apply. Please leave quickly, without making a fuss.
