We lost another conservative from the days when conservatism wasn't cool.

He never sold out. Never got on Fox News and his talk radio days were pre-Limbaugh.

And was devoted to his faith and realized that politics is fleeting ...

I remember his interview with Frank Zappa, and I remember personally speaking to him on a blog (he was quite prolific 7 years ago). The man was certainly no friend of the liberal media, and he was one of the few people who would stand up to Zappa and the rest of the people peddling filth.

I used to love reading his columns, as well as Gary North, Rushdoony, Chilton and others, till I realized that I didn’t agree with the most extreme of their views, like stoning people for blasphemy and making homosexuality a capital offense.

I don’t like the current government but I think a government run like Calvin’s Geneva or one based on Luther’s views on Jews would be horrific.

There’s got to be a middle that doesn’t call for the execution of people who blaspheme or expel Jews...

He was an inspiration to me in my foundational years as a conservative back in the early 1980s. RIP John.

I remember him from National Empowerment Television before it was ruined by a takeover that took Weyrich out of programing director and Chairman. It then changed to America's Voice. ON NET and America's Voice Lofton had a show called "It's Only Politics". One of his guest was James Carville who had just written a book. Lofton chewed him up and spit him out and had James at a loss for words.

Lofton was a warrior for Christian Conservatism and will be missed.

Lotfon interviewing James Carville.
Lofton: James did you write this book? James do you even know how to read?

Priceless. Lofton had a way of getting to the point.
