Entry: The Dream team Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_dream_team#16750 Post contents: “<i>[...] I would prefer having the most disruptive Democrat win in November to the prospect of a McCain victory</i>” Grant Havers has done a good job of arguing against this. I add what seems obvious. The folks at Waco were killed because they were Christians. A vote for Hilary is spit on their graves and a vote for more Wacos. “<i>Let’s bring on the crisis of the regime as soon as we can!</i>” A lot of folks in the League of the South say this. Maybe they’re right. For my money, the “crisis of the regime” is worth having ONLY if we know what’s waiting in the wings. The “crisis of the regime” in England 1641, Russia 1917, Italy 1922, and Germany 1933, and in France 1789, 1792, 1794, 1799, 1814, 1815, 1830, 1848, 1870, 1940 didn’t turn out quite so quite rosy. True, France 1958 did have a good result; yet a proven National Savior and the transmigrated soul of Joan of Arc isn’t running for the US presidency this year. “<i>Old Testament never teaches the Jews to love their enemies.</i>.” A common misunderstanding and UTTERLY wrong. For proof of the exact opposite, try Job 31: 29-30. The entire passage – chapters 29-31 and esp. Chap 31 – can be called the ethical ideal of the OT -- if not the whole Bible. (Verses 31:38-40 are probably a copyist’s error, and may belong between verses 28 and 29.) IHS was preaching Judaism with his Summary of the Torah. The lie that “the NT is the book of love and the OT is the book of wrath” is antisemitic/Judeophobic drivel to anyone whose bothered to read the Bible. Want love? Try Hosea. Want wrath? Try the sevenfold WOES of Matthew 23:13-36 (to wish “woe” upon someone is to wish harm). Try Luke: 6:24-26 (read in context of vv20-26: after the Beatitudes come the “Curse-itudes”. Or Luke 10:13-15. And no one can accuse St. Luke of being a Judaizer! Sent at: 2008 09 06
