Doug Wilson speaks to the latest uproar in Texas, literal Texas-sized idolatry.  State Chairman Ricardo Davis noted, "Pastor Wilson's commentary is spot on, and those Christians involved in politics within the sphere of civil government would do well to consider and ponder.  We still live in a constitutional representative republic, and the foundational need of the hour is to urge all Americans to repent of their idolatry and turn to Christ, the foundation our nation's republic."

A few days ago, when the news about that huge Hindu image of Lord Hanuman was first going around, my friend Joe Rigney inquired if anyone knew whether @MichaelCassidy had anything going on these days. Michael Cassidy was that publicly-minded citizen who had redistributed the image of Satan that had been erected in the Iowa capitol building. As much as we might admire the honesty of such messaging by our politicians, the detestable image still needed to go.

Anyhow, Joe made his inquiry and his question excited some comment. Lord Hanuman does raise some interesting questions. Vandalism? Destruction of private property? Vigilantism? Liberty of conscience? What is going on here?

I have decided to tell you.

Doug Wilson breaks down the current struggle between the Department of Government Efficiency and the Deep State so you understand what's at stake... and why some congressmen are losing their minds on camera.  State Chairman Ricardo Davis noted, "the only thing I would add is that you can't lay the current state of affairs entirely at the Democrats feet.  Just look up and see how many of your Republican congressmen and senators voted to fund this hog slop."

So then, Elon is making a scene, and I think we should analyze it.

It might even be said that he is on a spree—on a bender that his given over to an out-of-control sense of fiscal responsibility. But I don’t think we should over-analyze this because the whole thing is pretty simple, when you come down to it.

All that noise is coming from the barnyard because Elon went out there and has gotten in between the hogs and the bucket.

Pastor Doug Wilson addresses the shibboleth of the "separation of church and state."  State Chairman Ricardo Davis noted, "would that more church leaders spoke with this level of clarity about the issues at stake."

If a man were to undertake a proof that triangles had three sides, and he was making heavy weather in getting his point across, there would be several possibilities that we would need to consider. One would be that he was simply a terrible teacher. Another possibility would be that there were powerful interests conspiring against him, funded in a big way by George Soros. Let’s go with that one.

With those basic alternatives in mind, and taking the appropriate lesson from them, let us review now some of the basic issues that have for far too long bumfuzzled the American public when it comes to the foundational questions surrounding church and state. This shouldn’t be hard, but somehow it is hard anyway, and perhaps it has been the excessive sensitivity and nuance that I have historically been wont to use.

So let us go over these issues, shall we? And let us deal with the logic of the thing first, and the American history of it after that.
