“A Guardian investigation has revealed that a controversial church whose leader has openly expressed the ambition of creating a ‘theocracy’ in America has accumulated significant influence in the [traditionally “blue”] city of Moscow, Idaho.” 11/2/21

2/ If you think you are safe from the theocratic assault on America because you live in a “blue” city, you may want to take a look at what Doug Wilson is doing in Moscow, Idaho. Image
3/ It can happen fast. This is from 11/5/19. religionnews.com/2019/11/05/dou…
4/ Even Doug Wilson characterized Moscow, Idaho as a “blue dot.” That didn’t stop him. Image
5/ I included a discussion of Doug Wilson in my recent piece on Michael Farris. Wilson’s church church previously ran Canon Press, which is now part-owned by his son & recently published a book promoting Christian Nationalism. #ShinyHappyPeople buckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ… Image

8/ Wilson has also helped produce a Christian (“Classical”) homeschooling curriculum. Image
9/ Doug Wilson’s Christian homeschooling curriculum is as offensive as you might expect. Image
10/ Image
11/ Doug Wilson’s annual “Repairing the Ruins” conference is coming to Pennsylvania on 6/23/23, less than a week before the Moms for Liberty annual summit, which will also take place in PA. Theocrats have targeted the Keystone state. They want it bad.

In 2004, the SPLC profiled Doug Wilson “after he co-authored a pamphlet on slavery, characterizing it as a ‘life of plenty’ 4 Black people. (His co-author was Steven Wilkins, the former director of the white nationalist League of the South.)” 8/1/20 18/ hcn.org/issues/52.8/ex…
Wilson “revels in his controversial profile: In one 2018 video, he casually smoked a cigar while sitting on a burning couch. ‘It’s not the job of the preacher to be a firefighter out in the world,’ he said. ‘We’re supposed to be arsonists.’” 9/

William Donahue (president of College Republicans of America) says that he is promoting “integralism, not theocracy,” but his post misleadingly omits that “integralism” is shorthand for “Catholic integralism” & that the doctrine seeks to “integrate” Church & state. 1/ uscatholic.org/articles/20191…

* Posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat next to a photo of Alvin Bragg?
* Mocked MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for getting hit with a rubber bullet?
* Praised Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter?
* Joked about the assault on Paul Pelosi?

👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/ Image
