Franky Schaeffer, the fallen-away son of Dr. Frances and Edith Schaeffer of L'Aabre Fellowship, who is perhaps the most influential defender of the intellectual case for Christianity of the late 20th Century.

A lot of us are praying for this degenerate fellow, who once or twice has written more than a few books. He's now a follower of Obama's wider range of the Protestant version of Che's "Liberation Theology," in its latest form.

Until he started turning on his father's memory, no one would have given him the time of day, more or less like his father, who wrote some excellent and influential books, such as "The God Who Is There," and "Back to Freedom and Dignity."

Franky, who hates being called Franky these days, wrote a pretty good book on "The Myth of Neutrality," or so I thought when I read it two decades ago. He got lost in his father's shadow and heard the siren song of Vanity Fair.

I didn’t think my day could get worse.

Reading about Joe Biden thinking there are “moderate” Taliban.

Seeing the Senate just pass, BY VOICE VOTE, a $ 410 billion bill, after the cloture vote of 62 for, and 35 against. It is obvious they listen only to themselves—there went five phone calls to each Senator in the past two weeks down the drain.

Reading Jack Cafferty’s screed against Rush, and having him and CBS News call Rush Hanoi Jane.

Hearing the military mom’s voice crack on Rush Limbaugh talking about the sacrifice of her children serving a Commander in Chief she has no faith in to protect them.

Still being depressed that our President, in the presence of a cheering crowd, signed yesterday an EO sending thousands and thousands of human beings to death, all in the name of a “science” which has been unproven.

Now you tell me that this Frank Schaeffer is the SON of Frank and Edith Schaeffer of L’Abry?

Frank Schaeffer, the dad, was the one who thirty years ago, correctly forecasted the cultural war we are in now. Some then called him extreme, but he was dead on.

After today, and the fifty days of outrage of this Administration so far, it is clear that this is not going to end well.

We are in 1860 all over again. It won’t be blue vs. grey this time.

It will be blue vs. red.

I never thought it could be, here in America.

But I have lived the last 35 years as an adult, and the America I grew up in is now a distant memory.

We are in the midst of change of historic proportions, not unlike 1860 America or 1933 Germany.

The propaganda, Alinsky rules, and Cloward-Piven strategy are all out there and functioning full throttle.

There is no mass of patriotic Americans in place to just absorb the radicalism as in the past, and render it moot.

Now, we will have to resist with all our might.

We conservatives and Christians will be the Jews of the new order holocaust Obama has in mind for us.

God help us.

Nice summary.

I guess this is what comes of hanging out with European “intellectuals” for most of his young life.

L'Abri. I read The God Who Is There and many others by him back in 1971.
