WORDISM AGAIN | 2006-07-24

Once they hear it people use "Wordism" as anything they hate. That is NOT what it means. Wordism is loyalty to one's own version of a book, and nothing else. Decades before 9/11 I was warning people that evangelicals were temporary allies on some issues, NOT COMRADES. Now they fight for Israel and interracial adoption.

I told you so!

Let me repeat, Wordism is loyalty to one's own version of a book. It opposes racial loyalty. Be it Islam or evangelicalism or Catholicism or Islam, Wordism is our enemy.

Wordism is NOT your latest brainstorm. Wordism is loyalty to a BOOK, to WORDS.

Liberals made a horrible mistake when they admitted openly that Political Correctness was being enforced. They have tried ot make up for it ever since by calling EVERYTHING Political Correctness that was enforced. It didn't work. Evangelical Christians enforce their Wordist code, but it is NOT Political Correctness.

By the same token, anyone who comes up with a cute definition of Wordism is working against our cause.

Wordism is Wordism. Period.
