While the United Methodists continued on their jolly path toward self-annihilation, lesbianizing their way toward childlessness and queerizing its worship with the decorum of three-cord guitar aficionados, The House of Representatives did not want to miss the opportunity to get some attention.
They passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act (320-91). In the old days, we would call that a bipartisan landslide. This was a fairly sped-up bill to stop the kerfuffles on university campuses. In the old days, the kids called this an “overreaction of epic proportions.” At least, that’s what I called it when I was a kid.
As you all know, there is plenty of anti-Jewish sentiment that deserves public flogging. And I do think that what we have witnessed at Columbia and Chapel Hill would provide us with some candidates for this trial period.
However, the problem with this bill—apart from making parts of the Scriptures impossible to interpret evangelically—is that everything happening on college campuses was actually headed toward sanity.
We were having fun seeing stupidity humiliated on public television. We were watching leftism expose itself in real-time in exchange for humanitarian aid in the form of gluten-free cookies. The PR team was on our side, and we even got some CREC attention (thanks, Rory!) on national television. I guess you win some, and our representatives get jealous and help us lose some. They do not want us to relish too much winning.
Even public opinion was favorable towards those opposing the Marxist lollipop guild. But this level of immaturity will only make us Christian Nationalism harder. Let the Senate understand.
Instead of bringing common sense, this bill will reanimate the Fuentes lobbyists on X, exacerbating the already-difficult pastoral task of keeping the kooks out of our churches and the Neo-Nazi sympathizers away from our kids.
I don’t say this too often, but I wholeheartedly agree with the UFO Catholic provocateur Matt Walsh when he concludes:
“This is honestly one of the most insane pieces of legislation I’ve ever seen.”
It seems to criminalize saying that, Jews crucified Jesus… Along with other basic Biblical facts.
