Entry: A Thanksgiving Turkey From a Chickenhawk Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_thanksgiving_turkey_from_a_chickenhawk#10243 Post contents: From glomming on to his little brother's book, "The Golden Turkey Awards", back in the 70s (whatever happened to lil' bro, anyway?), to politically-correct movie critic, to shameless shill for socialist capital; Medved thy name is Chickenhawk, for when destiny called your Name Medved, your hearkened instead to the Ghost of Gym Class, who sifted you and kicked you in the ass. Thus thy name is Chickenhawk. Selah! One quibble about the column: there is no line connecting the Calvinistic Pilgrims to W Wilson's ,etc. policies. The Pilgrims were extremely inward-looking, to the point of constantly wrestling with faith in their own salvation. The name "pilgrim"... Thus they were too occupied to consider fulfilling well any Great Commission with prejudice. They didn't even like going into the woods. Puritans: technically Lutheran Anglican, practically Calvinists, same traits. That's why they were easily shunted aside by the impuritan Anglican Church shortly (by 1705?). If you're just DYING to pin Protestantism to some holy warrior attitude which the Roman Church has had since Charlemagne's Saxon crusade, through Unam Sanctum days and up to the Russian Commission of Fatima (Operation Barbarossa and beyond), you can find it in Luther's siding with the princes during the Peasant Rebellion which the Lutheran Prussian state used as justification of a modern warrior caste and a permanent standing army.
