About Me

Name:

Born May 18, 1953; got saved at Truett Memorial BC in Hayesville, NC 1959. On rigged ballot which I did not rig got Most Intellectual class of 71, Gaffney High School. Furman Grad, Sociology major but it was little tougher than Auburn football players had Had three dates with beautiful women the summer of 1978. Did not marry any of em. Never married anybody cause what was available was undesirable and what was desirable was unaffordable. Unlucky in love as they say and even still it is sometimes heartbreaking. Had a Pakistani Jr. Davis Cupper on the Ropes the summer of 84, City Courts, Rome Georgia I've a baby sitter, watched peoples homes while they were away on Vacation. Freelance writer, local consultant, screenwriter, and the best damn substitute teacher of Floyd County Georgia in mid 80's according to an anonymous kid passed me on main street a few years later when I went back to get a sandwich at Schroeders. Had some good moments in Collinsville as well. Ask Casey Mattox at www.clsnet.org if he will be honest about it. I try my best to make it to Bridges BBQ in Shelby NC at least four times a year.

Southern Baptists still fighting Lincoln with the Know Nothing Party

    Southern Baptists put food on the table for 25 years and more for my family. They got me to Furman University on scholarship where I heard about another Preacher's son, Marshall Frady. They are good hearted people many of them but don't know their ass from a Hole in the ground when led by leftover Birchers and White Citizen Counselors in the likes of Jesse Helms, Pressler, Albert Lee Smith,  Trey Gowdy, Jerry Vines and Adrian Rogers. Bill Moyers, Bill Leonard, Ellen Rosenberg, UNC Chancellor Bill Friday,  David Currie, myself and others have been saying this for forty years now.

      The latest iteration is in the Saturday July 16 

Ny times. FBC Gaffney, Easley, Collinsville Alabama, Clinton SC, Blacksburg , Inman leadership should read this weekend. Google Nation Magazine on SBC selling soul to the Devil over the politics of abortion.

    Chic Fil A is starting to lean forward to the chagrin of Nikki Haley and Turning Point USA. My God friends, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Frank Johnson, Randall Lolley, President Carter, Lottie Moon, Jill Lepore and Jia Tolentino didnt put their soul into America and a fine denominational tradition to see it become a bastard group for the Trump Base.

    Of course there a lot of nuances and inflections but the tangle at the top of the leadership of the current SBC like the Know Nothings of the 1850s are against liberal arts education in its best tradition. Of course the U of Bama has Bama Rush and is a mockery of higher education, but they also have a fine honors program and Nick Saban gave a million dollars to the student group of his local  Catholic church.

     Criswell , the Hunt Brothers,  Albert Mohler the Bastard , the Birchers, the Texas Regulars aint the way forward. And forty years into the mess some good women and men are gonna have to rustle some feathers in their local Babdist churches at the risk of losing social status --My God could be chaos at Trey Gowdy's FBC Spartanburg--if America is gonna get its ass halfway back on track.

    Group reading and remedial education etc. And what not.
