<p>[NB:
Apologies for extensive quoting below with little commentary -- I am
quoting what appears to me to be the same author. The first link is to
her blog, and the second link is where she comments on another blog. I
am doing this because I don't have the time to paraphrase what is going
on into my own words. I highly recommend you look at the two blog links
below and join in the conversation there as well. I don't mean, by
taking her writing here, to take the traffic here away from these two
sites. I hope, by quoting here, that more people will see the links
below and stop in at these two blogs.]<br><a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/cynthiagee/269355/Behind+the+Hyper-Patriarchs%2C+Part+II.html">Here is a link</a>
with information worth looking into, if you are at all interested in
Matt Chancey and what he is doing on mrsbinoculars. I will have the
author's words in italics and what she quotes in blockquotes.<br><br><em>Lately
I’ve been reading about a still darker side to the
Reconstructionist/Patriarchy movement. What I have learned is scary,
and bad enough that my conscience demands I warn folks about it.<br><br>Quite simply, it is this:<br>There
are those among the movement who claim that since SLAVERY is not
condemned in the Bible, it is a perfectly legitimate thing, and
advocate a return to the same. J.R. Rushdooney, the father of
Reconstructionism, advocated a return to debtor slavery. So does his
son-in-law, Gary North. And so do a number of patriarchal successionist
“religious” groups in the south today:</em><br> </p><blockquote>“Key
members of a white supremacist organization called the League of the
South are moving to take control of conservative churches around the
South, prompting a possible split in a major Presbyterian denomination.
The central player in this little-noticed drama is the Rev. Steven J.
Wilkins, pastor of the Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe,
La., and a founder and current board member of the neo-Confederate
League.<br><br>Wilkins has said that the goal of the League of the
South is to save America from “paganism” and restore it as “the last
bastion of Christendom” — a Christendom that, in Wilkins’ view, sees
slavery as “perfectly legitimate.”": <br><br><a href="http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=432">http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=432</a></blockquote><br><em>Sites
linking to Steve Wilkins articles and books include Ladies against
Feminism (whose owner, Jennie Chancey, is associated very closely with
Phillips and VisionForum), and The Patriarch’s Path website, (run by
James and Stacey McDonald), which links extensively to articles by both
Steven J. Wilkins and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doug Wilson</span>, and Doug Phillips as well.<br><br>And
it seems that Wilkins himself has been a very busy man: in addition to
teaching his worldview to his own congregation, he and pastor <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doug
Wilson</span>, another well-known figure in the Patriarchy movement, have been
writing what many would term racist curriculum for a large North
Carolina private school:<br><br>As printed in The News and Observer, 12/04:</em><br><blockquote>“Leaders
at Cary Christian School say they are not condoning slavery by using
“Southern Slavery, As It Was,” a booklet that attempts to provide a
biblical justification for slavery and asserts that slaves weren’t
treated as badly as people think. Principal Larry Stephenson said the
school is only exposing students to different ideas, such as how the
South justified slavery. He said the booklet is used because it is hard
to find writings that are both sympathetic to the South and explore
what the Bible says about slavery.<br>“You can have two different sides, a Northern perspective and a Southern perspective,” he said.”</blockquote><br><em>The
booklet isn’t the only connection its two co-authors have with the
school. One of the authors, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Douglas Wilson</span>, a pastor in Moscow, Idaho,
wrote a book on classical education upon which the school bases its
philosophy. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wilson’s </span>Association of Classical and Christian Schools
accredited Cary Christian, and he is scheduled to speak at the school’s
graduation in May. Some school leaders, including Stephenson, founded
Christ Church in Cary, which is affiliated with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wilson’s</span> Idaho church.</em><br><br><em>The
booklet’s other author, Steve Wilkins, is a member of the board of
directors of the Alabama-based League of the South. That is classified
as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based
civil rights group.</em><br><blockquote>“<span style="font-weight: bold;">Doug Wilson</span> and Steve Wilkins
have essentially constructed the ruling theology of the neo-Confederate
movement,” said Mark Potok, editor of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s
Intelligence Report.”</blockquote><br><em>More chilling is the fact
that to Steve Wilkins and his associates and their followers, LYING is
perfectly permissible, and even virtuous, if it advances the
Patriarchal cause. From page two of the same article:</em><br><blockquote>“An
important tool of the movement is stealth. Theonomists justify this
strategy with a Biblical story, “Rahab’s Lie,” of a young woman who
lies to protect the lives of Israelite spies in Jericho. In an article
posted on the web site of Wilkins’ church, Deacon Kevin Branson praises
Rahab as “a spiritual hero” because “she deceived the wicked who sought
to kill God’s own people.”<br>Branson said he writes about Rahab
because “some of us don’t have a clue about honorable and necessary
deception of the wicked.” His conclusion is that “sometimes God
requires that we offer by way of our right hand a sweeping sword, and
from our lips deception, that the wicked might fail, and Christ and His
Bride might flourish.”</blockquote> <br><em>Doesn't sound very
Christ-like to me. These men advocate lying in the name of God, what
could be more blasphemous than that... yet we trust the homeschooling
materials they sell to tell the truth to our children, the very people
they are trying hardest to influence and bring round to their way of
thinking.</em> <br><br><em>And Steven J. Wilkin's and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doug Wilson's</span> materials are everywhere.</em><br><br><a href="http://speakertruth.blogspot.com/2007/01/driscolls-god-only-metaphorically.html#c116910043405898070">Here are some tidbits</a> from another link.<br><br><em>And
then there's Doug Phillip's father, Howard Phillips, who helped found
the Constitution Party and ran as that party's presidential candidate
in the 1992, 1996, and 2000 elections for President of the United
States. Phillips courted various neo-Confederate groups, including the
League of the South, in his presidential effort, and Doug Phillips is
reported to have preached from the pulpit that it was a sin not to vote
for the elder Phillips.<br><br>And, Doug Phillips (as well as Wilkins,
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wilson</span>, the McDonalds and Chancey) are ALL followers of John Rousas
Rushdooney, the father of Reconstructionism. Vision Forum sells
Rushdooney's books, (including a revisionist history of the United
States.) <br>Rushdooney (and Reconstructionism in general) advocated a
return to debtor slavery and saw slavery as practiced in the antebellum
South as being a fairly benevolent institution:</em> <blockquote>"The
private ownership of slave labor in the American South has been the
subject of extensive distortion. The Negroes were slaves to their
tribal heads in Africa, or prisoner-slaves of other tribes. The
monetary unit in black Africa was man, the slave. The Negro moved from
an especially harsh slavery, which included cannibalism, to a milder
form."<br><br><br><br></blockquote><br><blockquote><br></blockquote></font>
