<P>At great risk to my person, I have decided to release to the Moscow community the sordid and scandalous details concerning Fuhrer Wilson and his Reformed Reich. This will doubtless mean ostracism and possibly exile for myself as soon as the NSA Gestapo get wind of it, but as I have incriminating evidence against Grand Inquisitor John "The Annihilator" Schwandt, I should escape the Bucer's gas chambers. So here's the dirt on Herr Wilson:</P>
<P>He's a softy. Honestly, a real teddy bear. It's disgusting.</P>
<P>The guy cries publicly when excommunicants are reunited to the church. He's addicted to weddings. He enjoys playing with his grandchildren more than arguing on Vision 2020. He's probably the number one romance advisor on the Palouse. He has a sweet tooth and doesn't like vegetables. He has nearly the entire student body of NSA over to his house from time to time, and then brainwashes them with cookies, hot apple cider, and P. G. Wodehouse stories. He's been known to drink Zima. There's more, but I'm already sick enough.</P>
<P>Okay, so on a more serious note, what does any of this have to do with the current Vision 2020 discussion? Perhaps on the face of it, not much. However, it illustrates something that is indeed very important to the discussion: the fact that we are talking about a real man, with real ties to his family and to this community. And when people try to defame him, for whatever reason, they are defaming a real man, not some ogre-ish, neanderthalic monster. And as I happen to believe that Mr. Wilson is a good man, I think that a number of the attacks on him are really quite wicked. Call me a Hitler Youth, or point out the fact that I don't have the proper B.S. in B.S., but that's the way I see it. There are some dagger-tongued Muscovites that ought to be ashamed.</P>
<P>To Jim Meyer (whom I don't think is one of the above): we are not going to disown a respected and well-loved spiritual father just because some ignorant and hateful detractors say he's racist. I, for one, am categorically not ashamed of anything Mr. Wilson has said on the matter. This is not because I'm a thoughtless automaton dutifully goose-stepping in line, but because I refuse to distance myself from a man I love in the presence of those who hate him. If someone wants to draw a line between Mr. Wilson and what they see as the rest of the Moscow community, then they will find me firmly in the Wilson camp. And what is more, a good deal of the Moscow community will be in the Wilson camp along with me. This is where our loyalties lie, because Mr. Wilson is our Christian brother, a minister of Jesus Christ, and a friend of the people of God. As Chris Morris (a black man) pointed out only last night, "When they attack our shepherd, t!
hey attack us." And along with Chris Morris (once again, a black man), I'm officially pissed about it.<BR></P>
