I thought Rod Dreher said he was a Christian?

If so, why is he drinking and writing articles about beer?

This is the same Rod Dreher that used to write over at belief.net and go on about how Christian he really was.

So much for separation from the world. I guess I should not expect too much; he is, after all, one of those wishy-washy evangelicals.

How soon they forget:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. — (2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV)

Seeing that Rod is a part of the wishy-washy evangelical crowd, he will most likely use Matthew 15:11 as his screwball defense of drinking. Which is, of course, wrong. because there, Christ was simply rebuking the Pharisees for their hypocrisy.  Which is basically, what I am doing here with Rod Dreher. I used to respect the guy, not anymore. Dreher might have been on point about Sarah Palin in 2008. But, as far as I am concerned; his Christianity is a joke — much like the rest of the evangelical community.

For more on Christians and drinking, see here.

“I thought the Bible says we are not to judge?”

Wrong. Matthew 7:1 was Christ’s message to the unbelievers, not to Christians, he was addressing the Pharisees. The Bible says that we believers are to judge righteous judgment. For more on that, see here.

I just simply feel that if Rod Dreher is going to pawn himself off as a so-called “Christian,” he ought to start acting like it or drop the charade.

Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller writer Laura Byrne insults Mitt Romney’s sons

Unlike this woman’s article, this is a very serious article. Angry

Tucker Carlson’s “The Daily Caller” which is rapidly becoming the next “WorldNetDaily” of Conservative media; allows one of its writers, under the guise of so-called humor, to take a rather cheap swipe at Mitt Romney’s five sons.

Writing in her piece about the Romney sons, who are all very happily married; she writes the following:

Choosing between these five handsome men was tough but the results are in. Although all the Romney boys are married, don’t lose hope: With the exception of one, all of the sons are Mormon so you could potentially be wife number two, three or four depending on whether or not you are into that sort of thing.

Now folks, I have a sense of humor and I have been known to be funny on this blog from time to time. However, this is not funny, it is not even close. It is nothing more than an underhanded slam of the Romney’s and their family. You see, I know the Tucker Carlson is a Mormon himself; but you see, Tucker Carlson is also a libertarian conservative, of the Barry Goldwater stripe, and Carlson also happens to not to be too fond of Romney. Carlson’s gripe is that he believes that Romney is a statist and not nearly conservative enough for his taste. Therefore, because of this and because of the fact that Carlson himself is Mormon, he allows this stuff to be published on that internet rag that he owns.

Well, I happen to be a strong supporter of Mitt Romney for President of the United States of America.  Because unlike the likes of Tucker Carlson; I realize that this Country needs a true leader, someone who knows how to run a business. Unlike that community organizer that we have in the White House now; Mitt Romney knows what it takes to be a leader, and will make the tough decisions to get this Country back on track. Furthermore, unlike Tucker Carlson; I happen to know that the Libertarian Party will never have a chance in hell of ever picking a President that will ever be elected. This is because Americans simply reject ideological extremism. The Libertarian Party’s platform is extremist and on foreign policy is totally disconnected from reality. Not to mention that the Libertarian Party’s policy on immigration is totally abhorrent and quite frankly, Anti-American in nature.  This is why I dropped my support of Gary Johnson.

I believe that Tucker Carlson owes the Romney family, and his supporters a huge apology or risk his online publication becoming the “Infowars” of the internet in short order. Tucker Carlson’s Mormonism does not justify this sort of behavior by his writers. Furthermore, I find it very humorous, that Tucker Carlson would have a woman doing his bidding and insulting the Romney sons, instead of doing it himself. I guess it is true what Don Imus famously said about Tucker Carlson and his bow ties.

Update: Blogs4Mitt links in, Thanks Rusty! I believe this is an important issue. Like Patti said in the comments; if the left had made such a comment, we would be all over it. But because Tucker is supposedly on the right; nothing gets said, it is not fair to Romney. I know not everyone likes him, but this was just a cheap shot, period. This is why I am raising the flag on this one and calling “FOUL!” I mean, having concerns about Romney’s Statism is one thing; but making a comment like that, it is just uncalled for. It would be like calling President the N-Word, to me. It is the same thing. It is bigotry and it needs to stop — on all sides.
