[Vision2020] Douglas Wilson Remaindered: A Contrarian View

Wed Sep 3 10:02:31 PDT 2008

Miss Cargill, Mr. Hansen, Miss Lund:

You are unjustifiably dissing one of the greatest talents of all history.

While it is true that Pastor Wilson's writings on religious subjects betray
almost cataclysmic ignorance of the last 200 years of biblical scholarship;
while it is true that many of these works are startlingly bizarre and far,
far from the teachings of the Christ of the Synoptic Gospels; while it is
true that sales of these works have not met expectations and are now
remaindered; while it is rumored that that the drafts or parts of the drafts
of some of these works were allegedly ghosted by another Douglas; while it
is true that Wilson's writings on non-religious topics, like those on
religious topics, demonstrate an almost total lack of disciplined
scholarship, and consist mostly of puerile, poorly supported opinion often
revealing to the critical reader only Wilson's personal fantasies and
prejudices, and while it is true that Wilson's greatly misplaced self
worship permeates all his writings, what you miserable, simple-minded *
Intoleristas* have obviously missed in your very narrow minded views is the
undeniably magnificent genius of Pastor Wilson.

Events may soon prove how far wrong you all are!

It is rumored (that's all I can reveal at this point) that Pastor Wilson is
at work on his *magnum opus* which is certainly guaranteed to be an all
time, worldwide bestseller and will truly show his magnificent genius.  More
importantly, this work will unalterably change the behavior of religious
professionals everywhere for all times.

You see, to really appreciate the enormous, incontrovertible genius of
Pastor Wilson, it is necessary to correctly understand the context in which
he labors.  That alleged context, its nuances and subtleties, and a
mind-boggling display of the knowledge of everyday application within that
context is said to be the subject of the great work he is rumored to be
producing.  That work is allegedly titled:

*Crackpotism:  The Fun Way of Acquiring Power and Control, Compelling
Idolatrous Adulation, and Reaping Immense Profits*

Or

*Fleecing the Flock*

For Ye of Little Faith it is alleged that this rumored world shattering and
breathtaking work will not be published by some tiny, tainted vanity press
like Canon Press.  But it will instead be published by a major, very
prestigious publisher, to wit, National Inquirer Publications, which
allegedly plans a first printing of one million copies.  The proceeds from
this most laudatory endeavor will complete the good Pastor's already quite
comfortable wealth.

Eat your hearts out, *Intoleristas*!

You're right, Saundra.

I went back to the link and it worked fine.

These books are anything but "obsolete".  There are a couple of the books
with a listed publication date of January 12, 2008 (not hardly ancient
times).  They are marketed not only at Buy.com, but also Canon Press (at the
corner of Fifth and Washington right here in Vandalville).

I am guessing that . . . what with the neighborhoods in a fiscal bind and
the Sunday morning collection plate not providing the financial bonanza
which the un-pastor has become so accustomed, he has been forced to find
other distributors of his putrid and polluted prose.

 The link worked fine for me.

 However, the prices are still higher than the TP I'd be purchasing the
books to replace :-)

I'm sorry but I donated my last dollar to the "Lieutenant Calley Kill the
Children Federation".

And besides, when I accessed the link below . . .

www.buycom/crackpots/douglaswilson<http://www.buy.com/search/q/loc/106/search_store/3/querytype/books/douglas+wilson.html>

"The URL you requested from our site could not be found."

Sorry.

Now, if you'll excuse me I am running a bit late to the monthly
Kitty-Cat  Sacrifice
where we toss cute little kittens onto a bed of red hot coals  and bet on
how long they last.

A large number of items allegedly authored by local pastor Douglas Wilson
have been remaindered at Buy.com, an internet flea market of obsolete,
useless, or otherwise generally unsalable-in-the-normal-market items.

See www.buy.com/crackpots/douglaswilson<http://www.buy.com/search/q/loc/106/search_store/3/querytype/books/douglas+wilson.html>

This is an excellent chance for serious collectors of the really bizarre to
purchase at greatly reduced rates of what most charitably can be described
as mediocre examples of the genre of 19th century outré comedic sketches.  In
fact, this may be the last opportunity to purchase such examples of
delusions gone far awry.

Thank you.
