Another Man Of God Stunted By Sin

Published by Papa Giorgio

God is good. Remind yourself daily of His redemptive plan in your life.

At a Saturday meetup with some guys at Starbucks, the discussion of Steven J. Lawson has come up a couple of times in the past month. He has been preaching down in the valley from us at Grace Community Church and one of the guys in the group is going over a book from Dr. Lawson. So he has been on my radar in a positive way.

Dr. Lawson has written many a book, BTW. Here is his Amazon bio:

  • Steven J. Lawson is founder and president of OnePassion Ministries, a ministry designed to bring about a new reformation in the church. He is a teaching fellow for Ligonier Ministries, director of the Doctor of Ministry program at The Master’s Seminary, and a visiting professor in the Doctor of Ministry program at the Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies. He has written two dozen books, including The Passionate Preaching of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, The Evangelistic Zeal of George Whitefield, and John Knox: Fearless Faith.

Here is the reason for this post. A friend of this Saturday group, who now resides in another state, sent this to me 1:30 AM this morning — 3:30 his time. He had no idea that Dr. Lawson was part of conversation in the group.

This is NOT to point an accusing finger at Dr. Lawson in a spiteful or mean way, but as a call for men to watch their six, in all aspects of their lives.

A Dallas pastor has been removed indefinitely from the church he has served at since 2018 due to him having an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman, according to the church’s leadership.

Trinity Bible Church announced the removal of Steven J. Lawson on its website after its elders became aware of his relationship “several days ago.” The church did not detail the nature of the relationship or identify the woman.

“The elders have met with Steve and will continue to come alongside him and pray for him with the ultimate goal of his personal repentance,” the church said. “Steve will no longer be compensated by Trinity Bible Church of Dallas.”

Lawson, 73, has served as a pastor for over 40 years in Arkansas and Alabama before he became the lead preacher at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas, according to his profile on OnePassion Ministries, a ministry he founded and is president of.

“In light of this, may we be reminded that we are ALL sinners, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners – and Christ remains Head of His Church, which is bigger than any fallen man,” according to Trinity Bible Church. “In fact, Jesus Christ will continue to lead His Church, including Trinity Bible Church here in Dallas, just like He has from the start of this work on Jan. 5, 2018.” …

(USA TODAY)

Even though I am a bibliophile, I was not too aware of Dr. Lawson.

Someone I WAS intimately knowledgeable of and have read most of his works was Ravi Zacharias, who fell…

  • A more egregious fall, so to speak, probably not redeemed in any meaningful way under those whom he should have placed himself [– but probably did not –] under, for accountability and guidance.

But even though Dr. Lawson may be redeemed in his walk and marriage, which is what I pray for, he has ruined a career that could have grown in influencing generations to come, in a more meaningful way. He has – I assume, if the allegations are true, removed himself from the pulpit for the remainder of his career.

Not only that, but he has also stained the blouse of the larger body politic of the Church.

Instead, he stunted God’s larger plans for his life influencing generations to come.

Obviously, God deals with us in a corporate sense as a “Church Universal,” but also on an individual plane. So, God’s plans of redemption are still in full affect in Dr. Lawson’s life. Which in an individual sense is, coming to the foot of Calvary when we fail.

And, in this way his voluminous writings can still help guide us in learning about God, as Ravi’s resources can still do, but the *asterisk exists in the bio of these men that the world can use in a Satanic [accusatory] way against the Church Universal.

Dr. Lawson is reminded once again that he need a Savior and that pride damages that daily realization and bold walk in our faith as we seek ways to rout God and replace Him with desire.

Which has me thinking about the last two Monday men’s groups at my church, and, as I see it, the two issues that have been at the center of this men’s Bible study sessions.

SEXUAL SIN AND UNCONTROLLED ~ SINFUL ~ ANGER.

Mind you, righteous anger in a stand against evil; and harm to innocence is needed. Psalm 97:10 starts with, “O you who love the Lord, hate evil!”, but here we are talking about anger being part of the problem. Not a Godly solution.

Dennis Prager, a radio personality I have listened to for over two decades, notes often that in the battle against self, men’s two main pillars to fight in their lives are anger and lust. These are typically the two biggies in a man’s life. I was more on the anger spectrum than the lust, but I have a few friends from the “olden days” who are on the “lust” spectrum of the scale.

Last Monday our church group of guys studied a bit of Samson’s life. And I saw a connection between two verses that are so miniscule, in that they are literally two sentences spanning 20-years, that I shared it with my table.

(Table Eleven Rules!)

And wrote a text to my sons to help them benefit from the Biblical warnings to us via the real lives of those who have struggled in their walk. So, we don’t have to. Or that is the plan…

Hopefully and prayerfully.

If you have children, you see that ideal rejected often. FYI, we are God’s children, and He sees this same thing in His relationship with us, His adoptive son’s and daughter’s lives.

Here is that note to them [my sons] to encourage learning from those who are giants in our faith. That these two sentences may open a meaningful study of God’s Word and the impact of two sentences often glossed over:

Added to just a tad for this post

A note to my boys:

We studied the life of Samson in Judges at our last men’s group at church. And I noticed something… 2 sentences. Chapter 15:20, and 16:1. No one at my table had seen it either. But in a group of men – a few of us with long marriages, and one married 10 years, and one getting married in a week – it led to great discussion and is an example of the simplicity of Scripture guiding men in their walk.

  • Judges 15:20 — Samson judged Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.

Samson was not a good guy. He has an*asterisk in his bio… a few of them. Yes, he is in the Heroes Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11, but he is included as a wretched man who pushed God’s plans away most of his life.

Everyone is redeemable.

That is the point.

But in this simple one sentence, it seems the Bible is hinting that he got his act together to be a judge over Israel. For 20 years, he built a reputation. 20 years.

And much like Reagan warned, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” The same goes for our actions…

  • Judges 16:1 — One day, Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there. He went in to spend the night with her.

Our life’s goals and aspirations in our walk in the Lord can be overthrown by one egregious action, or, habitual chipping away at what God wants for us.

[I know this well, as, I am a 54 year old man just entering the “Dave Ramsey” portion of life.]

Marriage is the most fundamental covenant God wants us to be enjoined in. And keeping your and my reputation intact — put God in front of your plans. No matter how small or large. Rebuff desire for fruitfulness.

Love you boys.

After texting with a few guys on the topic, one of them sent some additional information to push the idea of of how important it is to treat our walk with the Lord in our actions towards one’s we love – trustworthy. A discussion of “trust in marriage being treated like fine china” is excerpted below from a book by Paul Tripp, Marriage: 6 Gospel Commitments Every Couple Needs to Make. My friend noted that trust could mean the same as “reputation” in my text to my son’s.

“We will work together to build a sturdy bond of trust. Trusting and entrusting, we will build a strong foundation. We simply cannot have a healthy, God-honoring, mutually satisfying marriage without trust.

In a fallen world, trust is the fine china of a relationship. It is beautiful when it is there, but it is surely delicate and breakable. When trust is broken, it can be very hard to repair. It is trust that allows a husband and wife to face all the internal and external threats to their unity, love, and understanding. It is trust that allows couples to weather the differences and discouragements that every marriage faces. It is trust that allows couples to talk with honesty and hope about the most personal and difficult things.

There are two sides to trust. First, you must do everything you can to prove yourself trustworthy. Second, you must make the decision to entrust yourself into your spouse’s care. What does it look like to engender a marriage where trust thrives? What does it look like to rebuild trust when it has been shattered? What are the characteristics of a relationship where trust is the glue?”

(Wheaton, IL: Crossway, April 2021), 71-72

Good stuff. Another commentary was noted as well in that conversation before church this morning. It comes by way of Don Green via his FACEBOOK. (See more at Pastor Don’s TRUTH COMMUNITY CHURCH on YOUTUBE):

My (lengthy) thoughts on Steve Lawson.

To the best of my memory, I have never spoken with Steve Lawson nor had my picture taken with him.   I very rarely was in an audience when he was the speaker.  It has been several years, even, since I consulted any of his work in the course of my ministry.

So yesterday’s news about his dismissal from Trinity Bible Church of Dallas due to “an inappropriate relationship” with a woman did not hit me personally in the way that it did many of you. 

I briefly debated whether to make this post, but since I think it may help the people of God process the news, I now proceed. 

The primary question for which I want to give some perspective is:  “How does a prominent Bible teacher DO that?  How could he preach the Word, by outward appearances with power, in the midst of such sin and compromise?”

It is a difficult question and one that is not easy to answer to the satisfaction of those who feel betrayed and hurt. 

Without much expansion, let me offer you five principles to consider. 

1.  Exercising a Spiritual Gift is Not the Same as Growing in Sanctification

I’ll stipulate, for the purpose of this discussion anyway, that SL has been a gifted Bible teacher.  He wouldn’t have reached the prominence in so many Christian teaching ministries otherwise.  But my dear friends, Scripture plainly teaches us not to confuse gifting with sanctification from sin. 

You need look no further than the church of Corinth in 1 Corinthians 12-14.  They had spiritual gifts, including speaking gifts, but Paul had to correct them for the carnal and ungodly way that they exercised them. 

2.  Exercising a Spiritual Gift Is Not the Same as Fearing God

Yes, this one hurts.  But in my opinion the fear of God is largely lost on the modern church with devastating consequences.  Scripture plainly says: 

“By the fear of the LORD one keeps away from evil.”  (Proverbs 16:6)

Do you see a man—any man—who is walking in sin?  No matter the outward appearance, somewhere in his life he has forsaken the fear of the Lord. 

3.  You Can Fool All of the People Some of the Time

This worldly maxim has a biblical counterpart.  Judas was a traitor and a thief in the inner circle of Jesus, but none of the eleven suspected him.  When Jesus said, “One of you will betray me,” they didn’t all look at Judas as the culprit.  With broken hearts they entertained the possibility, “Lord, is it I? 

Only in retrospect did they see Judas for who he was.  He had fooled them all. 

So I do not fault those who were close to Steve Lawson for not seeing this sooner. Their trust was broken.  Rather, I commend them for taking public action when it became known to them. 

4.  Scripture Must Be Joined with Faith and Obedience

Now I turn from Steve Lawson to the outwardly professing church of God.  Rather than speculate about how a man could do this, the biblical perspective is to turn humbly to self-examination:

12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.  (Hebrews 3:12-13)

Satan, sin, and even our very selves are deceptive and subject to deception.  A man thinks he will never fall, or that he will not be exposed when he does, or that the thrill is worth it.  Whatever.  Lies, every one of them.

It’s not without reason that Scripture says:

For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. (Hebrews 2:1)

Do you see a fallen leader?  Okay.  Next question.  What unconfessed sin is in your life?  There’s your focus going forward. 

5.  Let the Mockers Be Warned

The usual suspects will chortle over the news.  Sinners will be emboldened to dismiss the gospel; others are already smearing other prominent Christians by their association with Steve Lawson.  Such is inevitable, but still I must warn them:  let you enemies of the truth hold your tongues: 

17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18 Or the LORD will see it and be displeased, and turn His anger away from him. (Proverbs 24:17). 

It is a true wretch who can gloat over this news when it greatly hurts and hinders so many lives, families, churches, and institutions.  Indeed, I’m not unmindful that the mud splashes onto all biblical pastors by casting unfounded suspicion on them.

The Lord sees it all, and it kindles His wrath when you boast over a fallen one. 

Conclusion

This is a time of chastening for the church, but not a time for despair.  Christ, the Head of the Church, still reigns and will never forsake us.   His Word tells us enough to have perspective to go forward in the battle.

I am sad, frustrated, and even angry at this news. Many innocent people are harmed and betrayed.  The dear gospel of Christ is exposed to ridicule due to the sin of one who was supposedly one of its champions.

That’s not okay. 

But as for me and my house, our faith and hope are in Christ, and were never in any man—certainly not this man.  So I plan to keep walking forward with confidence in the risen Lord and make my path to the celestial city to come.

I invite you to do the same.

Amen. Well put and another example of iron sharpening iron.

The Narnia Code (2009) | BBC

Published by Papa Giorgio

This was a video I played as part of an adult Sunday school class when the leader went on a missions journey to India. It is a documentary examining claims that CS Lewis’s Narnia Chronicles contain a hidden meaning.

CS Lewis wrote the Narnia Chronicles over 50 years ago, yet they are more popular today than ever. When they were first published, many critics thought them little more than childish scribblings, replete with random characters and unexplained events. Even Lewis’s good friend JRR Tolkien thought them confused and misconceived.

Other scholars were sure there was something more, something hidden beneath the stories. Although many tried, none could find this secret key of Narnia – until now. Dr Michael Ward, a young academic and expert in all things Lewisian, claims he has found the answer at last: he has discovered the Narnia Code.

Using dramatisations of Lewis’s early life and career, the programme travels the world, from the Mid-West of modern America to the battlefields of the First World War, meeting experts, testing evidence and uncovering surprising questions and ideas that still challenge readers today.

Louder w/Crowder Reacts to IDF’s “Pager Bombs”

Published by Papa Giorgio

As the news of the “pager bombs” was breaking, Louder w/Crowder went to the story on CNN. Funny real time reaction to the breaking story. ORIGINAL VIDEO HERE (today, 9/17/2024):

NEW YORK POST has this:

The Israeli spy agency Mossad allegedly intercepted Hezbollah’s shipment of new pagers months ago and rigged them with high explosives — resulting in the stunning attack on the Lebanese terror group Tuesday, according to a new report.

Mossad agents reportedly placed Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), a highly explosive material, inside the batteries of the pagers, sources told Sky News Arabia, according to a translation from the Times of Israel.

The devices were then detonated by an external signal that caused the batteries inside to overheat, the sources added.

AP has this:

  • … The pagers that blew up had apparently been acquired by Hezbollah after the group’s leader ordered members in February to stop using cellphones, warning they could be tracked by Israeli intelligence. A Hezbollah official told The Associated Press the pagers that were a new brand but declined to say how long they had been in use. …

No Active Duty Military In War Zones? WTH?

Published by Papa Giorgio
  • “As of today there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world, for the first time this century.” – Kamala Harris

This was my quick ad-on to the video on my sites FB:

JUST A FEW HEADLINES, preceded by date:

  • (ABC | September 13th, 2024) Iraqi and US forces kill a top IS commander and other militants in joint operation — Iraq’s military says its forces and American troops have killed a senior commander with the Islamic State group who was wanted by the United States.
  • (Big News Network | September 13th, 2024) 2 officers killed in IS attack in N. Iraq — BAGHDAD, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) — Two army officers were killed and three soldiers wounded on Friday in an attack by the extremist Islamic State (IS) militants in the northern Iraqi province of Kirkuk, said a local security source.
  • (WSJ | September 9th, 2024) U.S. Forces Try to Regroup as al Qaeda, Islamic State Sow Terror in West Africa — After being evicted from counterterrorism stronghold Niger, U.S. is adopting a smaller military footprint — The U.S. is gradually moving aircraft and commandos into coastal West Africa in an urgent effort to try to stop the march of al Qaeda and Islamic State militants across one of the world’s most volatile regions.

The NEW YORK POST has more:

Outraged family members of US troops hurt in the line of duty slammed Kamala Harris’ brazen claim that no Americans are serving in war zones — a statement which flies in the face of her own administration’s official list of active combat zones.

As many as 50,000 US service members currently patrolling countries and oceans across the Middle East and Africa are receiving either “hostile fire” or “imminent danger pay,” monthly payments of up to $225 for troops deployed in areas where they could easily be subjected to — or do come under — enemy attack, retired Army Col. and military analyst Jonathan Sweet told The Post.

Yet during Tuesday’s ABC debate with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the vice president to make it seem as if the Harris-Biden administration has heralded in a period of peace not seen in decades — and that all American military members are safe.

More via LIBERTY DAILY, emphasis in the original:

… it’s essential to recognize the gravity of the situation where service members like Chief Warrant Officer Garrett Illerbrunner are critically injured in active duty. His father, Brad Illerbrunner, expressed profound disappointment and anger towards Harris’s misleading assertions.

“really [hit] below the belt… She doesn’t even recognize that our own troops are getting hurt.” – Brad Illerbrunner

“We’re still in war zones.” – Brad Illerbrunner

“trying to snow the public.” – Brad Illerbrunner

These poignant words from a distressed father highlight the disconnect between the administration’s narrative and the ground realities. How can such blatant disregard for the truth be justified? Is it merely a ploy to divert the public’s attention from the ongoing dangers faced by our troops?

Michael DiMino, a fellow at the think tank Defense Priorities, also criticized the vice president’s claims for failing to reflect the true conditions experienced by U.S. forces deployed overseas.

“fail a basic kind of smell test” – Michael DiMino

“If you’re in Jordan in the middle of nowhere to fight ISIS, and you’re getting attacked by Iranian drones and rockets on a daily basis, you’re in a war zone.” – Michael DiMino

“to finagle a wording… to make a point we’re not engaged in all these conflicts — which we are” – Michael DiMino

“Those quibbling qualifiers ignore the fact American men and women in uniform are getting shot at on daily basis, and many just in the last eight months have died or been injured.” – Michael DiMino

Despite these glaring facts, a Harris campaign spokeswoman and a Defense Department official reiterated the administration’s stance, further fueling the narrative disconnect.

“taking risks for our country that should be honored no matter where they serve.” – Harris campaign spokeswoman

“An aspect of military service includes serving in locations where hostile actions may occur… Those locations are designated by executive order and/or the Secretary of Defense. However, it’s important to note that just because a service member is in one of these locations does not mean they are engaged in war.” – Defense Department official

The emotional toll on families is palpable. Holly Davis, whose husband is currently deployed in Syria, shared her distress over the vice president’s claims, which starkly contrast with her daily reality.

“It’s very hurtful that someone who is currently our vice president is making these claims when my husband is literally sacrificing his life every day over in the Middle East.” – Holly Davis

“I had to sit in those literal two minutes of hearing that, wondering if he was going to come back on the phone… It’s very real. Very war zone.” – Holly Davis

The Harris-Biden administration’s portrayal of a peaceful, conflict-free global stage under their leadership does not hold up against the testimonies of those directly impacted by the realities of war. 

Yes, The Left Thinks Lawns Are Racist

Published by Papa Giorgio

To “get this post” and to understand the comment by THE PEOPLE’S CUBE (PC), one has to do some reading.

Here is the idea behind PC’s quip ~ New York Times: Lawns Are Symbols of Racism and Bad for Global Warming (Breitbart):

While most Americans are spending time this summer enjoying the sun in the comfort of their houses’ yards, the New York Times is out with a new exposé on how lawn care is problematic, once viewed through the lens of social justice.

Lawns are contributing to pollution and climate change, asserts narrator David Botti, and their origins are far from woke, in a seven-minute video on the history of American lawns.

Botti says lawns are part of the “colonizing of America,” which transformed the landscape from “pristine wilderness” to “identical rows of manicured nature.”

“These lawns come on the backs of slaves,” he continues, zooming in on a painting of George Washington in a field to highlight men cutting the grass with scythes. “It’s grueling, endless work.”

“By the 1870s we also see American culture slowly start to embrace lawns for the privileged masses,” he states. …

The Times also refers to the work of historian Ted Steinberg, who calls lawns the “outdoor expression of ’50s conformism.”

Jerry Thornton over at BARSTOOL SPORTS takes the above to an awesome conclusion:

  • I used to just blame the white supremacists, the neo-Nazis and the garden variety ignorant rednecks for creating division in our country. There was a time I believed the true polluters were the ones flying private jets, dumping plastics into the oceans and clear cutting rainforests. I no longer have that luxury thanks to the NY Times. They woke me to the fact it’s my fault. Me, George Washington, 1950s conformism, a couple of anonymous dead ladies who wanted to live near white people, the golf industry and Big Garden. We are to blame. Me and my Sears Craftsman push model with the autodrive feature are creating racial intolerance and melting the Antarctica permafrost, one blade of grass at a time. And I am sorry.

Jerry makes sure to post the Brothers [movie] scene… hilarious!

Now the the main event… a KAMALA WORD SALAD:

Here is my response to PC

In other words, in the current #WOKE or CRT (Critical Race Theory) understanding — Kamala is essentially calling those middle-class Americans “systemically racist.”

A COUPLE MORE “TWI-X’S”

Also note that radical Islam got its philosophical start by Sayyid Qutb in part to hating the bourgeoisie “lawn status” of Americans:

Why “Ron Paul Types” are Wrong About Foreign Policy and Islam

Radicalism –as we are dealing with today– has a more recent idealistic foundation, although I am well-aware that what the Islamic State is doing today is no different than what Muhammad did.

The Full NPR Audio is HERE.

(NPR) …Qutb pointed out many things Americans take for granted as examples of the nation’s culture of greed — for example, the green lawns in front of homes in Greeley.

Ironically, Greeley in the middle of the 20th century was a very conservative town, where alcohol was illegal. It was a planned community, founded by Utopian idealists looking to make a garden out of the dry plains north of Denver using irrigation. The founding fathers of Greeley were by all reports temperate, religious and peaceful people.

But Qutb wasn’t convinced. “America in 1949 was not a natural fit for Qutb,” Siegel says. “He was a man of color, and the United States was still largely segregated. He was an Arab — American public opinion favored Israel, which had come into existence just a year before.”

In the college literary magazine, Qutb wrote of his disappointment:

“When we came here to appeal to England for our rights, the world helped England against the justice (sic). When we came here to appeal against Jews, the world helped the Jews against the justice. During the war between Arab and Jews, the world helped the Jews, too.”

Qutb wrote about Greeley in his book, The America I Have Seen. He offered a distorted chronology of American history: “He informed his Arab readers that it began with bloody wars against the Indians, which he claimed were still underway in 1949,” Siegel says. “He wrote that before independence, American colonists pushed Latinos south toward Central America — even though the American colonists themselves had not yet pushed west of the Mississippi… Then came the Revolution, which he called ‘a destructive war led by George Washington.'”

When it came to culture, Qutb denounced the primitive jazz music and loud clothing, the obsession with body image and perfection, and the bald sexuality. The American female was naturally a temptress, acting her part in a sexual system Qutb described as “biological”:

“The American girl is well acquainted with her body’s seductive capacity. She knows it lies in the face, and in expressive eyes, and thirsty lips. She knows seductiveness lies in the round breasts, the full buttocks, and in the shapely thighs, sleek legs — and she shows all this and does not hide it.”

Even an innocent dance in a church basement is proof of animalistic American sexuality:

“They danced to the tunes of the gramophone, and the dance floor was replete with tapping feet, enticing legs, arms wrapped around waists, lips pressed to lips, and chests pressed to chests. The atmosphere was full of desire…“

To Qutb, women were vixens, and men were sports-obsessed brutes: “This primitiveness can be seen in the spectacle of the fans as they follow a game of football… or watch boxing matches or bloody, monstrous wrestling matches… This spectacle leaves no room for doubt as to the primitiveness of the feelings of those who are enamored with muscular strength and desire it.”…

(see chapter one in The Looming Tower)

As Lawrence Wright in the Looming Tower has pointed out… even green lawns “enrage” Muslims against the West.

Sorry left-libertarians, foreign policy Ron Paulists, and non-interventionists

A great article citing a study by some Oxford professor backing up what we here at Libertarian Republican have been saying all along – the reason they hate us is because we are open about liking to fuck women and our women are open about liking to fuck men.

[….]

From the UK Express, “SEX and WOMEN: The reason Islamic State extremists want to kill ALL westerners”:

The “pressing of sexual imagery on to the world” means western culture is hated in the rest of the world and leads to jihadists wanting to “kill people in the name of purifying the world”, Diarmaid MacCulloch said. The gay Oxford theological historian and presenter of the BBC’s Sex and the Church said the hatred of western culture reaches far and wide and can be seen in Boko Haram in Africa, in the Middle East and in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. He said: “It seems to me that it is about sex.

“A unique feature of western culture is that it loves talking about sex, it obsesses about sex, it presses sexual imagery on to the world. “Other cultures think about sex a lot but they do not talk about it and they find it intensely embarrassing and frustrating that the West talks about it.”

The enhanced role of women in society is another reason Islamic State comrades hate western culture, the professor added. He said: “The anger that other cultures feel towards western sexual openness, it is so much of the murderous anger which we are seeing in Boko Haram, Islamic State and other revivalist movements of the 20th century.

(Libertarian Republican — no longer around, sadly)

A Ron Paul “Flashback”

Libertarian Republican [sadly, LR is defunct] again confirms their [Islamists] long held position that our freedoms here in the West, and especially America, are what drives the Muslims hatred of us — NOT our foreign policy.

Front Page Magazine has an excellent article where they quote Eric Dondero of Libertarian Republican quite a bit in regards to how and what Ron Paul thinks:

Rep. Ron Paul believes the United States is a greedy, militaristic empire that brought 9/11 upon itself. He believes that Iran poses no threat to U.S. or Israeli security and that Iran deserves to have a nuclear weapon if it wants one. As for Israel, he does not think it should have ever come into existence as a Jewish state. Nevertheless, Ron Paul, whose crackpot beliefs would be disastrous for the United States and the free world if ever implemented, is a serious contender for the GOP presidential nomination.

With money, good organization, a demagogic message that has a surface appeal to voters looking for a radical break with the status quo and an enthusiastic cadre of supporters fueling his campaign, Paul has vaulted into the top tier of Republican presidential candidates in the Iowa caucuses, which he could well win on January 3rd. He is virtually tied with Newt Gingrich for second place in New Hampshire after the heavy favorite, Mitt Romney. Overall, Paul is currently running third in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls.

Paul’s foreign policy philosophy hearkens back to the pre-World War II “America First” isolationist movement that was shattered with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. In fact, Paul would have been right at home in that movement. According to Eric Dondero, a former senior aide to the congressman, Paul believed that the United States had no business getting involved in fighting Hitler in World War II. “He expressed to me countless times, that ‘saving the Jews,’ was absolutely none of our business,” Dondero said. “When pressed, he often times brings up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks before hand.”

Paul has harbored similar conspiratorial thoughts about 9/11. Dondero said that his former boss

engaged in conspiracy theories including perhaps the attacks were coordinated with the CIA, and that the Bush administration might have known about the attacks ahead of time. He expressed no sympathies whatsoever for those who died on 9/11, and pretty much forbade us staffers from engaging in any sort of memorial expressions…

Paul was opposed to the war in Afghanistan from the outset, and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11, according to Dondero.
