Squid quo Prose
TS Eliot said the distinction between prose and poetry is obscure. So is Donald Trump when it comes to quid pro quo and other matters especially when Sean Hannity and now Lindsay Graham get a holt of it.
It would all be so Fbombed hysterical (Road to Perdition when the oldest son goes up to see Connor) but the country is at stake and Richard Shelby the Senior Senator from Alabama and others aren't doing the party of Lincoln and Judge Frank Johnson honors these days.
In the coming days I may be even more specific with references to Ga Senator Isaacson and soon the be lecturer at Mercer, Nathan Deal, a product of the CBF congregation of FBC Gainesville Ga. Isaacson like Jimmy Carter is a long time Sunday School teacher, with Isaacson of the Methodist Persuasion.
I hope all the progressive Baptist efforts in and around Atlanta could bring Chet Edwards in From his Baylor lectureship to have a public conversation with Nathan Deal about what it means to a Baptist in politics and leadership in this Trump moment. And do it before mid April 2020
Deal's lectures at Mercer will be a waste of time if not informed by Princeton's Wuthnow's Rough Country on how Texas Baptists fundamentalists shaped the modern Republican Party; and Meacham on the Soul of America where he compares the Trump of Franklin Graham and Falwell Jr to eight of the worst demagogues of American History.
In the last couple weeks Ive been reading John Barton's New History of the Bible. Diarmaid Macculloch as a great blurb you can read at your local Barnes and Noble.
You remember the Bible, not Adrian Rogers, Falwell Jr or Franklin Graham but the one with the Johanine comma most likely written 1200 years after Abraham and Adam and Eve. The One St Anthony's in Florence SC don't understand, but I'm hoping St. Francis in Tuscaloosa and Nick Saban do.
Cause it's gonna take somebody like Nick Saban and even Jeremy Pruett or somebody who understands the English Language like maybe the Honors Program at Bama to help Shelby et al (Lindsay Graham may be a lost cause) in this Trump Moment or By God we're all headed straight to Hell.
In a Handbasket or Squid quo Prose.
Also see Jon Meacham on the Soul of America.
Here is the comment I made on St Francis wall and shared with Furman University about thirty minutes ago.
Looks like you have a diverse student Body. I wonder if your views on DACA and Trump's rhetoric are as exclusive as your views on abortion. Would you serve Communion to Trump or his wife were they to visit. The way the Fox News/Trump wing of the GOP uses the wedge issue of abortion is comparable to the way George Wallace and Strom Thurmond used Race in the 60s. Read Joe Crespino's book Strom Thurmond's America and have your honors history classes read as well. Google Stansell, Holy War, New Republic, concluding paragraphs on how the Politics of abortion in America by the Trump strategic base is chocked full of "mendacity".. My father was a Baptist minister in Gaffney, but I'm convinced Pope Francis would not vote for Donald Trump were he an America citizen, and if Pope Francis was the priest in Florence South Carolina he would have something to say about Trump's views on immigration were his parish to garner national headlines.
