[Vision2020] Cult Master: Women should not be able to choose to defend their country

[Saundra Lund]

Hi Mr. Fox,

I'm not at all surprised by Wilson's Absent Without Leave blog entry.  For
the benefit of new V2020 members and for those who may have missed it the
first time around, I'm going to repost part of my "Why Moscow?" post from a
couple of months ago.

Wilson has written:
"If those who hate the Word of God can succeed in getting Christians to be
embarrassed by any portion of the Word of God, then that portion will
continually be employed as a battering ram against the godly principles that
are currently under attack.  In our day, three of the principal issues are
abortion, feminism, and sodomy."
http://www.credenda.org/old/issues/vol4/them4-6.htm

Clearly, then, we understand Wilson and his church's position on "abortion,
feminism, and sodomy."  <sigh>

However, how many of us knew that Wilson's opposition to equal rights for
women is rabid enough that should women be allowed in combat to defend our
country, he would advocate the following?

"The American military is currently acting the part of a weak sister.  The
pressure is on to bring women into combat roles. . . Indications of our
cultural dissolution are legion these days, but this one ranks in the top
five . . . A nation defended by her women is a nation no longer worth
defending.  When women are placed in the front line of defense, every
Christian man should walk away from the cause of that nation as being
beneath contempt.  Taking this a step further, a nation as far gone as to
think that women in combat is a viable way to go is a nation which is no
longer defensible in principle-even if there remains a misguided desire to
defend it.  Men who understand their duties in this regard . . . should
recognize that the result of all our evangelical dithering about is that the
nation which we call the United States has already been lost."

Wow!

Since the US is already "lost," what, then, is a man to do?  Well, never
fear because Wilson has your answer, and it offers further insight into his
empire building here in Moscow:

"Families should begin congregating in communities where these duties are
understood, and the men of those communities have every intention of
fulfilling those duties.  Christian men who are in the military should get
out at the first lawful opportunity and move to a community where they may
defend their families instead of their current unwilling defense of the
feminist agenda . . . The prohibition to women in Deuteronomy 22:5 is one
which blindsides us.  We knew abortion and homosexuality were abominations."

Double-wow!!  So, is it Wilson's perception that *our* Moscow community
*doesn't* support women's rights (among other things)???  I guess he thinks
it doesn't really matter what our community values since his empire is
recruiting people to move to our community who share his desires for a
theocracy -- I guess he figures (incorrectly, I hope) that has to start
someplace, so he's targeted our community as the first step  :-(  That seems
clear to me in spite of Wilson's public protestations otherwise.

I hope and pray this community will continue to wake up and smell Wilson's
coffee . . . and understand *why* it's necessary to speak out against such
wickedness.  He has a very clearly stated agenda that I believe is abhorrent
to our community and flatly antithetical to what makes our community Moscow.

But, please, Please, PLEASE *don't* take my word for it!  Go straight to the
horse's mouth and read Wilson's own published words.  Compare and contrast
what he says when he's talking to others who share his beliefs with what he
says when he's addressing those who don't share his particular flavor of
Christianity.  As a community, I hope we will continue to use our collective
critical thinking skills to keep the wool from being pulled over our eyes.

So, please remind me again:  who is it that's supposed to be intolerant???

Normal Folks,

The following is a dido (perhaps, some might uncivilly say "dildo"[you can
infer his target]) from Christ Church Cult Master Douglas Wilson's
self-sucking weblog (webblot?) www.dougwils.com. 

Not only should women be disallowed from being on the board of his two-bit
cult school, Bogus School, (despite the fact at the time of his initial
suggestion, both the President and Prime Minister of Finland were women),
but apparently women should not be given the freedom to choose how they wish
to serve their country!

It also appears that it is more important to the Cult Master that he win his
private "cultural conflict" (anti-egalitarism) than it is for the U.S. to
bring the conflict in Iraq to a satisfactory conclusion (assuming one is
possible).

Can you say "pathological egomaniacal megalomania" or the less polite
equivalent?

As the war in Iraq grinds on, multiple lessons can be gleaned from it. And
not all the lessons have anything to do with the tactical details of this
particular war.

One of the most strking things about this conflict is that when I see
talking heads on the teevee talking about it, whether they support or oppose
the war, whether they are conservative or liberal, they always manage to get
in something about how they of course support "our brave men and women" in
uniform. And there, with those two words -- "and women" -- we have a
showcase example of how our domestic kennel-fed conservative leaders do not
have any earthly idea of what kind of cultural conflict we are in.
Apparently victory in Iraq is important enough that we should purchase it
through fundamental defeats here at home.

When young girls are killed or maimed in combat, where are the leading
conservative spokesmen who take the opportunity to raise the point and press
it? Why does no one point out that the abomination is, you know, abominable?
Of course, they don't do it then out of consideration for the grieving
families. And they don't do it later because there is no reason to when the
heat is off. For all the saber-rattling conservatives can do when it comes
to fighting backward nations with high-tech weaponry, when it comes to an
issue that might require actual courage from them, they are to use a
military term, AWOL.
