I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling.
I am postmillennial in my eschatology.
Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity
Reformed in my Soteriology
Presuppositional in my apologetics
Familialist in my family theology
Agrarian in my regional community social order belief
Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief
Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic
Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern
Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview
One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics
Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place
Some of my favorite authors,
Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M. Rothbard, Clyde Wilson, Mencken, Lasch, Postman, Gatto, T. Boston, Thomas Brooks, Terry Brooks, C. Hodge, J. Calhoun, Llyod-Jones, T. Sowell, A. McClaren, M. Muggeridge, C. F. H. Henry, F. Swarz, M. Henry, G. Marten, P. Schaff, T. S. Elliott, K. Van Hoozer, K. Gentry, etc.
My passion is to write in such a way that the Lord Christ might be pleased. It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture.
Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

There are two choices. Wilson is ignorant or Wilson is a deceiver.
The first is remotely possible I suppose but so remote one would need Palomar to see it.
Really? A human with above average intelligence is asking who is agitating for a race war? Doesn’t he have an internet connection? Can’t his discernment meter detect anything in the zeitgeist? The above quote from him can only be described as “purposely obtuse” at best and “downright misleading” at worst. Come on Doug, we all know who you are trying so hard NOT to name. It’s embarrassing. You have done so much for the kingdom. I count you among the few faithful voices out there. Stop being willfully obtuse. Be sure to finish well. You don’t have to go all Kanye or Fuentes on the Jewish question. Maybe stick with Augustine or Luther if you want to play it safe. If you must, make indirect references but please cease with the torturous rationalizations and denying the obvious. You can do so much better.
Pastor Wilson has Jewish relations, and this may be skewing his judgment.
Perhaps too he is afraid that being a race realist about Jews (or any other race group) would diminish his following and status by drawing down the wrath of the Jew-dominated world at large. Maybe that fight — against carnal Jewry — is simply beyond his energy and character and mental powers.
These worldly priorities have evidently contributed to his failing theologically on important issues relating to race. Specifically, Wilson fails theologically because he does not duly acknowledge the Christian Jew/carnal Jew distinction. Without that critical, Scriptural-Augustinian distinction, he is unable to grasp the Providential nature of race in general, and the true history of Israel, in its successive stages, in particular; a very serious weakness, rife with connecting implications, for a man of the cloth.
Thus does the fear of man, and love of reputation, lay a snare.

“The second reason for my ongoing take on kinism would be the regular parade of commenters on my blog, those who were a big part of my reason for turning comments off for most of my posts. If I were to publish a little something in defense of Western culture, say, somebody was sure to show with an intense desire to talk about the Jooooozzzss. So if kinists want us to believe that as a group they are not snarling and biting any more, they need to select a better set of ambassadors.”

Inaccurate
1.) Kinism is NOT a monolithic movement. No Kinists voted on who would be our official “ambassadors” any more than anybody voted that Wilson would get to play gatekeeper determining what is in and out of bounds for Conservative Christian thought.
2.) There are all kinds of nutjobs that have attended CREC Churches. Should we conclude that these nutjobs are representative of the CREC? In the same way there are all kinds of nutjobs among Kinists and Christian Nationalists. It is asinine to evaluate Kinism based upon the nutjobs that may be showing up on Doug’s blog, or maybe we should just conclude that the CREC nutjobs are indeed reflective of the CREC movement as a whole.
Don’t be deceived John by Doug’s shallow argumentation.
