Chalcedon Foundation’s 40th anniversary
The Southern Poverty Law Center gives us a handy summary of the Chalcedon Foundation’s 40th anniversary conference. Now I wasn’t priveledged to be there but after reading their synopsis, I for one can’t wait to get the tapes!

Some quotes from the article:
“To oppose us is to attack God’s law,” Mark Rushdoony testified to nearly 200 followers from four states, “and to attack God’s law is to attack God himself!”
“Draped in a stark black suit with a shiny gold cross pinned to its lapel, Mark Rushdoony peered down from the pulpit through glasses tinted the color of hellfire. ” — (WOW where can I get some “hellfire glasses? )
“There is no room for democracy in Reconstructionism, and no tolerance for dissent.” ( yes there is! No there isn’t!)
“Mark Rushdoony …now leads a small army of true believers whose fundamentalism is so hard core they make garden-variety right-wing evangelicals seem like Unitarians at a Peter, Paul and Mary sing-along” (That’s the biggest complement I’ve gotten all week!)
“Like many homophobes on the religious right…” (wow there is NOTHING biased in that statment is there? Nope not a bit…just brute facts!)
I could go on but you guys have to read this for yourself. I couldn’t have written a paraody this funny yet at the same time there is a certain amount of comfort in knowing the enemies of God think we are so dangerous!
