Revealing comments, indeed, from former-Kansas-state-
trooper now
end-times-prognosticator Greg Evensen. Mr. Evensen says he is not
"qualified to assess those prophesized (sic) events from a theological
perspective," but then proceeds to refer to "the tribulation,"
"Satan," "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and other mythological
"end-times" theological features. He provides a handy list of
preachers that he says "pretend to speak for their followers while
chasing stardom and money that is their true god and their real goal
in life." His list is comprised of Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson,
and Al Sharpton. (Notably, all black folk.) It is curious that
preachers Rod Parsley and John Hagee, two of the wild-eyed
televangelists that are among John McInsane's spiritual advisers, are
not included on Mr. Evensen's list. Perhaps that's because Parsley
and Hagee also extort treasure from their hapless audiences and chase
"stardom and money" by making frequent references to mythological
end-times features. Mr. Evensen's appeal for "donations" in the
middle of his essay is noted.
The profound and most original slogan at the head of Mr. Evensen's web
site is: "Clean 'em, load 'em, stack 'em, and prepare to use 'em!"
With characters like this around to provide fodder for the rhetorical
cannons, the job of ridiculing libertarians is made an easy one.
And, providing such a link on a board associated with Ron Paul,
belittles and besmirches that for which Ron Paul has worked and
advocates.
At the foot of Mr. Evensen's web site is this quotation: "As for me
and my household, we will serve the Lord." Apparently, Mr. Evensen's
lord told him to "Clean 'em, load 'em, stack 'em, and prepare to use
'em!" I wouldn't know whether to fear more "the authorities" and the
hungry hordes, or Mr. Evensen in his cowboy hat, string tie and suit
costume.
