Oil is the New Cotton on the Plantation; Hoschild on Gaffney's WJ Cash
Ive had a spike in page views the last several days. So come back to this post after Thanksgiving as I hope to add to this kerygma of a thought.
Yesterday I spot read some of National Book Award nominee Hoschild's Strangers in Their Own Land. The analysis of my hometown Gaffney SC's WJ Cash was beautiful. It brings together a lot of loose ends I have been speculating on for some time about the fundamentalist takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention that has now landed us in the era of Trump and Trey Gowdy.
Paul Pressler's Exxon Oil and shenanigans with the SBC networked to the legacy of Jesse Helms tobacco and cotton. Gonna be substantive if I do the matter justice. Biblical proportions focused on Baptist strife ripe with Birchers, Tex Regulars, demagogues and Lee Atwater's "nigger memo" from Robert Wuthnow's Rough Country.
Big gap between Pressler and Helms and the vision and concern of Ken Burns and John Grisham last week on NPR diane rehm show, drshow.org
Talked to a staffer today on NC US Senator's DC Office. Talked to him straight about my Daddy and Randall Lolley, UNC Chancellor Bill Friday and the nomination of Senator Sessions for Atty General. Nice Fellow. He heard me out. Also some interesting exchanges on the facebook wall today with Bill Ivey of Alabama, basketball coach, on Sessions. Some may want to look at that or the history section of baptistlife.com forums
And then there is the remote possibility of an afternoon two panel event at Furman University late January early Feb to usher in the era of Trump. Keep an eye on the facebook wall of Christian Ethics Today to see if that takes traction.
Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless the United States of America.
