BREAKING NEWS: New Hampshire GOP Backs out of Fox GOP Forum!

It’s a video report this week.

Ron Paul Supporters and the 12 Corners of Brighton (Rochester, NY…about 5 minutes from my home):

Red State Update on Iowa Caucuses:

Editorial (not a video): Kuyperians, Theonomists, and Covenanters for Paul?

Bill Chellis asks why many Reformed Christians (of the covenanter type) support Paul rather than Huckabee, when Huck clearly talks “Christian nation” talk much more than Paul. He gives some of his own reasons, and I offered this comment:

I think one of the things that makes Paul the more attractive candidate for the Reformed conservative is this: Paul is the only candidate who would promote a governmental system that would allow us to be hobbits in peace. I can’t be a hobbit if Gondor is always in my business. Paul wants to “legalize prostitution” only at the federal level, meaning that if we here in the Shire don’t want it, we make our local laws against it. If we want to smoke our pipeweed here in the Shire, we can; if we don’t, we can make our laws against it. Mordor, Gondor, Rohan - they can all do what they do in their own lands, and if Mordor gets out of control, we can all rise up against it together. But for the most part, leave us alone in the Shire, and let us maintain our local traditions and laws without interference.

Furthermore, the typical micro-reformed Christian is skeptical of Huckabeevangelicals. He’s a poster-boy for everything the circus of American evangelicalism has become. We don’t like what American evangelicalism has done to Christendom, so we don’t like what Huckabee would do for America.
