Whatever happened to the Franky Schaeffer? He always had an active mind. In the early 80's, when he was conservative, his writings got every increasingly angry and intense, and I worried about him at the time. With good cause, it turns out! This column is such a mix of fact, fiction, smear, opinion and emotion, that it would take much more time and effort than I have to spare in order to do it.

But you are welcome to have a go at it...

This dude is sooooo wrong about who was there yesterday. For one, I was, and many more like me. We are conservatives and for the most part never attend church, want a constitutional government, do not want government controlled health care, do not want socialism of any kind, have made our own way in the world, came from all over the US to demonstrate against big government. How did this dude come up with this drivel.

well, I’d hate to be the first one to point out to Frank that at least half of the religious folks in America are Black and Hispanic - it would certainly ruin his ‘white...religious...conservatives...are...alqueda’ argument and probably send him into babbling fits.

He became an Eastern Orthodox Christian. He's still fighting against his Protestant daddy, projecting his hatred for his father onto all conservatives, particularly Evangelical Christians.

What a pity. Franky Schaeffer did so much for the faith and for civilization. Now he has turned his back on everything good and placed himself on the Enemy’s service.

This is what I thought of while reading this..... piece. Before I finally gave up about a third of the way through as he kept repeating himself.

Franky Schaeffer is dead, this waste of bandwidth was authored by some demon inhabiting his lifeless body.

I'm an atheist with a PhD who was educated in elite schools; my Dad was a social worker and also an atheist. My Mom stayed at home so she could be there when we came back from public school at the end of the day. She had taught eight grades of school in a country school house in the 1930's and she taught me math because the "New Math" of the 1960's was destroying my brain, but she didn't believe in God either. I don't believe in Satan or Anti-Christs, but I do believe in the principles of the Enlightenment and in the idea that the American Founding is part of a struggle for individual liberty against authoritarianism that's been going on for about 40 centuries. Its best weapons are intelligence, truth, and reason, and its enemies are brutal thugs who never really change anything but their faces.

You liberal jackasses may now proceed to your next half-baked theory.

Actually, Frankie looks a little light in the loafers. That could actually explain quite a bit.

Patriotic Americans might question the organizer's aim to provide a media forum for dimwitted right wingers to scream "Liar!" "Socialist!" "Antichrist!" "Muslim!" "Death Panels!" "He's not an American!" and so on and on and on about the commander in chief charged with defending us from further attacks.

LOL, since when does Patriotic American = Idiot??? What the heck as Barack Obama done to defend America??? Everything Obama does is designed to hurt our security and make us look like wimps to our enemies.

Wow, just wow!

Do not read this while listening to Clint Mansell's Orchestral version of Lux Aeterna. It will creep you out.

I wish that Joe Wilson would give this guy a something to really go apoplectic about.

When Wilson is judged by the house and admonished for insulting the president of the United States on the floor of the house, I wish Wilson would raise the defense that Barack Obama is not constitutionally the president of the United States and therefore he cannot be guilty of insulting him.

If Wilson gets a chance to defend himself, he might possibly start that debate. I wonder if he would have the eggs?

Blah, blah, blah, "religious right", blah, blah, "I got NO clue what this movement is about", blah, blah, "Constitution is a living document", blah, blah, "the Founding Fathers are a bunch of wig-wearing old white guys", and blah, blah, blah, you're a friggin idiot who would be the first to be shot in a totalitarian regime.

Oops, sorry, I forgot, blah, blah, "The First Amendment" is the only one that counts, blah, blah, and more blah when considering the Enumerated powers of the Federal Government in the old tired document, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

And further more, blah, blah, Amendments to our societal compact have no relevancy in modern age, except for that ONE Amendment (1st) that let you and you perverse a-holes walk the streets of Frisco half-clothed and promoting perverted lifestyles. Then, it's all good, right? The Second, the Fourth, the 9th, and especially the 10th Amendments don't count, but the 1st does, right?

You people are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. You use the US Constitution for your own agendas and ignore the rest. You're all hypocritical pseudo-intellectuals. You are intellectually dishonest.

We, the people of the Constitution see it now. You are all phonies. You have no underlying principles other than what makes you feel good. Such principles have been the bain of every civilization throughout history. Read Grecian and Roman history.

Those civilizations fell because of people like you who thought you were so enlightened, but found that easy living was to detriment of their civilizations. The Barbarians screwed your fun times, didn't they?

You all disgust me because you refuse to learn from history and have some "cool" progressive need to change it to fit your degenerate and non-productive lives. You are the epitomy of public education. You are the people with the big "L" on your forehead. You buy into anything that tells you that you DESERVE, without earning. I despise you all.

Just glad his father and mother didn’t have to read this.

What ever happened to him? The last time he wrote anything that was worth reading, IMHO, was 13 years ago (his book Addicted to Mediocracy.) He made some awful films after that, and then started writing again. He’s not only “off the reservation”, he’s changed “tribes.”
