Your article on Rushdoony(google his name and second thing that comes up) is a disgraceful distortion of his beliefs and teachings. If you had any sense of honesty or integrity you would take that article down. There are so many untruths and misrepresentations there I don’t even know where to begin. I will address a few of them.

1. Rushdoony is NOT a Jew hater. Anyone who has listened to or read any of his stuff would know that Rushdoony has a extreme respect and high regard for Jewish people. He often praises Jewish culture and history in his work, not to mention one of his closest colleagues, Sam Blumenfeld, was a Jewish convert to Christianity. Rushdoony did NOT deny the holocaust! I did hear him say once that he thought the numbers were an exaggeration. He was vehemently Anti-Statist and Anti-Nazi. He was a historian, sometimes historians disagree on historical facts. That is quite different than denying the Holocaust!

2. Rushdoony was definitely NOT a racist. He believed in the inequality of cultures, not of races. He viewed European culture as superior to many cultures, ONLY because of the long Christian influence on European history. He points out that the Anglo-Saxons were backward savages and cannibals before their conversion to Christianity. He believed that all races and nations and peoples would eventually reach their full potential in Christ. In addition to that he believed black progress had been hindered and even retrograded by idiotic and senseless state subsidies, such as welfare.

3. Finally, Rushdoony did believe in the full implementation of Biblical law, including stoning. However, he recognized this as only practical when a group of people living in a community together agreed to be governed by biblical law, not unlike the Puritans. He was somewhat of a libertarian and believed the rule of civil government should function primarily at the county level. That way people in each county could govern themselves the way they saw fit, leaving open great potential for philosophical and religious freedom.

I think that people make up lies about Rushdoony because they are afraid of his ideas. He is unyielding in his logic and really a true genius. He makes short work of the philosophers that are foundational thinkers for our modern humanistic society, Hegel, Marx, Sartre, Freud, Marqui De Sade, Kant, Nietzsche, Darwin. People are uncomfortable with him because he challenges their worldview, therefore people try to bury him as deep as they can.

There are two possibilities.

1. You have never truly attempted to understand his worldview and have only carelessly read his work.

2. You have thoroughly understood his works and they threaten you. You don’t believe in objective morality therefore you have no reservations about making up vicious lies about a person and then presenting them as truth.

Either way you should do the decent and civil thing and take that piece of garbage down!

I hope the RSS feed can be changed.

I wouldn’t want you to remove the comment flooding setting either, but it’s broken. The first comment I tried to post said I’d posted too quickly. Another result of the migration, I’m sure.

Thanks for the response.

Second, please bring back the full RSS feeds. The extremely abbreviated ones make it impractical to read on the go as the content isn’t pre-downloaded in my RSS reader and the net connection is too slow for me to cope :/

Third, tell your system I’m not posting comment-s- too quickly, please.
