“Liars hate being caught. It throws them off their rhythm.”
True in Both Directions
“Flannery O’Connor wrote that everything that rises must converge, but this must also be said of everything that is circling the drain.”
The Demonization Gun
“What I am rejecting is demonization. And to simply go along with what they are currently demanding is to help establish their authority to demonize. I don’t want to accede control of that process to them. I don’t want them to have the demonization gun—I know where they are going to point it next.”
An Editorial Team Coup
“They have been running this play enough times that we really ought to recognize it by now. The play is this—they must be put in charge of all definitions. And my response to that is, let me think about it, no.”
The Men of Old Charleston Will Rise Up and Condemn . . .
“If you were going to be conceived as the child of black parents in North America, would you prefer Charleston in 1850 or Chicago in 2015? I know which one involves a certified nurse counting up all your pieces so that they can make sure they throw all of you away. Be honest. Be brutally honest, and in the light of that honesty I would then invite you to rethink everything you thought you knew about racial reconciliation.”
Innocent Blood Does Have a Voice
“In the Bible, innocent blood cannot really be silenced because whenever it is shed it cries out from the ground. In our case, it cries out from the polished linoleum floors of our abortion mills. God is just and will not be mocked. We will reap what we have sown, and our only possible refuge from righteous judgment over the blood we have shed is in the righteous blood that Pilate shed.”
This Crimson Carnage
“Since Roe, about 13 million black children have been executed. Thirteen million. That is more than the total population of Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Nebraska. So black lives matter, do they? And coming back to the point, what flag flew over the courthouses that continue to authorize this crimson carnage? What flag was still flying there just this morning? How many more decades before the great principle of flag indignation kicks in? Would the populations of ten more Midwestern states do it? It took Hitler only twelve years to ruin the swastika forever. How many years do we get?”
Ethnic Hypocrisy
“Blacks make up about thirteen percent of the general population, and yet are represented in our 35 percent of the abortions. That is disproportionate enough to lean genocidal, and to make it the actual legacy of the very white bones of Margaret Sanger. That means that 5,250 of these children, slaughtered legally since just last Wednesday, were black. Who speaks for them? I don’t count because I have a picture of Stonewall Jackson in my office.”
Because False Principles Are Tenacious
“If you admit a false principle into the settlement of public disputes like this one—and I hate to be the one to bring you the sorrowful tidings—the false principle does not disappear when the dispute does.”
Nothing Doing
“You cannot receive what you are unwilling for God to give to someone else also.”
