He who fights and runs away....

... lives to fight another day. At least that seems to be the message from the Mount, that is, Mount Moscow, Idaho, where our intrepid wordmeister, Douglas the Greater, has managed to score a TKO against a prissy lefty while starting another catfight among the Auburn Avenue combatants. At least that is one possible interpretation among many.

Yes, while dancing like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, the Great One has managed to position himself on both sides of his "Stalinist" opponent, while throwing his erstwhile Christian brethren out like Lot's daughters. The fabled Confederate flag that once hung in his office was really a dust cover for a computer keyboard. Poor Joe Morecraft was mistaken in his tattling letter to the local newspaper editor! It is now long gone, but not his portraits of Stonewall Jackson and Jeb Stuart! He throws down the gauntlet!

When our clamoring multiculturalists want me to back away from the facts, I want to do my best imitation of Stonewall at First Manassas. But I feel bad for those fellow Christians, like Joe, and Terry, and Cal, and others, who are willing to retreat from their basic covenant loyalties on the basis of whatever their own petty issues are.

Now there is the man who counseled "owning the curse" at his fiery finest. The man who tap danced like Gregory Hines on speed when debated by one of the local eunuchs about his desire to transform Moscow into the image of Christ Church (which Wilson, of course, denied). So much for the dominion mandate. (The audio of the debate is posted here.)

But, as DW might say, that is ancient history. Just like this, posted a month ago:

Lee's portrait displayed where? Proudly displayed where? What was the context? Did he want us to teach the American Civil War with certain key figures whited out? "And when umphy humphy made the fateful decision to move toward Gettysburg . . ."

Well, Doug isn't so proud of Lee as he is of Stonewall and Jeb. Or are we missing something here? Splitting hairs is Wilson's specialty, as opposed to the courser grindings of the Gris Mill.

I honestly don't know a whole lot about him, but Wikipedia says that he wants to boycott Tommy Hilfiger for incorporating confederate insignia into their clothing lines. And that would be bad, admittedly, were it actually being done. What I would give to have been at the TOMMY board meeting where that decision was made!

Bad for whom? Is Herr Wilson worried that the flag will be demeaned by this, or Tommy Hilfiger?

We frankly admit lacking the "higher mind" required for initiation into the Wilsonian Mysteries. He could tie even ole' Maimonides in knots with some of his reasoning. (And I like the name RaMBaM. Maybe we'll start referring to Douger as DaMWaM.)

At least we're glad that all this isn't a "retreat from ... basic covenant loyalties." To see DaMWaM do that would really be something.
