The following comment was submitted in response to my post on poverty, and I include it here for reasons that may surprise you. Or not.
It seems that there is no level to which “covenant Christian” men here and abroad will sink in making their obnoxious, inane, and puerile points, and that’s why I now have to OK them before they hit my blog. The comment below is predictably smug and poorly reasoned, but I’d accept it in the spirit of honest debate. But it was authored by someone cowardly enough to not use his real name and stupid enough to use instead the name of my good friend Rosemary Huskey. Rose is aware of this and is preparing her response. Here’s mine:
First of all, you lying coward, you’ve sinned not just by hiding behind some dumbass pseudonym, as you usually do, but by representing yourself as someone else — someone you consider to be an enemy of Wilsonistas foreign and domestic. You probably thought that slinking into my blog under the name of a noted Kirk critic and good friend of mine was clever. It isn’t. You continue to exemplify the spineless barking and deceitful prank-playing that real men, and real Christians, repent of shortly after turning 13. This is not “skylarking.” This isn’t “monkeywrenching” liberal media. This isn’t even a serrated edge of satire. This is lying, pure and simple — you’ve claimed to be another person, and you’ve said things publicly as if she were saying them. Shame on you.
Second of all, you pompous and vituperative ass, Rosemary Huskey, who has never in her life used a pseudonym, never hurled insults without making a larger point, and never shrunk back from defending righteousness and opposing sin, is infinitely smarter and inestimably more decent than you. I would not want to oppose an angry Rosemary Huskey in a rhetorical dark alley, and I’m gobsmacked that you are evidently as stupid as you are dishonest in thinking you can pull something like this.
You are a liar. The truth is not in nor anywhere near you, and you stand condemned before a holy God and everyone reading this blog.
May God have mercy on your shriveled, toxic soul.
