Gosh, if you=92re groping for real dirt on Doug Wilson how about this? =
Doug
Wilson tried to drown my adopted black daughters as infants when they, =
along
with the rest of our family, sought membership in the church. And =
I=92ve got
photos and witnesses to prove it. Well, that=92s how our local =
newspaper
might have reported it. Actually, he sprinkled water on their heads in =
a
rite of baptism to welcome them into the church, thus providing an =
objective
sign that they are members of Christ=92s covenant. And they, like the =
rest of
our family, love their pastor and have experienced extraordinary =
kindness at
Christ Church.
=20
The ironies of the present stories circulating are=85 well=85 amusing. =
Our
local rag relies on an anonymous, malicious flier as the basis for their
news story to paint Doug Wilson as a racist. I can rely on my =
friendship
with Doug over the last 18 years and his graciousness to my mixed-race
family to see otherwise.
=20
Meanwhile, of all the businesses around town owned by Christ Church =
members,
the ones the white people on V2020 (in a show of righteous indignation)
choose to boycott are the ones owned by mixed race families. =20
=20
Our local universities spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on
multicultural centers (with their ready-made protest banners and picket
signs stored for rapid access) and can=92t figure out why there=92s so =
much
racial tension on campus. At Christ Church the gospel is preached and
people of various races become lifelong friends. =20
=20
The University of Idaho was widely mocked last year for painting a black
person into their promotional brochures in a fictitious attempt to look
racially balanced. At Christ Church the racial balance and harmony are
already there. We don=92t have to paint black people into our pictures.

Subject: [Vision2020] Vision 2020: The real dirt on Autocrat Wilson
=20
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:
He's a softy. Honestly, a real teddy bear. It's disgusting.
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.
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.
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.
