Wilkins' World
Homeschoolers nationwide are learning an unusual version of the American story from neo-Confederate Steve Wilkins
By Mark Potok



Steve Wilkins

You've got to hand it to Steve Wilkins. Tilting bravely against his own personal windmills — feminists, homosexuals, civil rights advocates, evolutionists, rationalists, "Marxist historians," and a whole list of other ungodly enemies — he has told the story of America as he sees it.
Sure, it's an unusual take. It's true that no serious historian would agree. But Wilkins, perhaps the leading theological thinker of the neo-Confederate right, is not afraid to tell it like he thinks it was.

Trouble is, some people might actually believe him.

The pastor of Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe, La. — the mother church to a noxious brand of theocratic thinking that has swept the entire neo-Confederate movement — markets his $80, 12-cassette version of the American saga under the title of "America: The First 350 Years."

much more......

1. It's brutally simple to explode their claim and expose them as hypocrites

Because not ONE of these people has ever demanded that Fundamentalist Christians be treated like black slaves.

2. Best not go to his church
Methinks I'd bust out laughing in the middle of his sermon!

3. Looking at the picture of that woman...
The one on the blog, where the Portland woman has her hand on the protester's mouth, I wonder... is what she is doing considered assault?

I'm imagining myself in that situation and the feeling of rage is just overwhelming. My instinctive reaction would be to bite her hand, slap her, and push her away for daring to put her hand over my mouth or otherwise touch me.

Is that woman's action considered assault? Would a physical reaction from the protestor be considered self defense or assault?

These RW people just infuriate me!

:grr:
