I'm a huge Hitchens fan, as well as all members of the Four Horsemen.

Just today I read an article about 'pastor' Doug Wilson. He's a self-described Christian nationalist who wants to repeal a woman's right to vote, has defended slavery, and believes homosexuality should be a crime.

His beliefs are extreme, and not long ago they were considered fringe. But today, Wilson's teachings are entering the mainstream. DefSec Hogsbreath maintains close ties with Wilson, attending a church affiliated with his network, and has invited the pastor to deliver a highly controversial sermon at the Pentagon.

He was good at sarcasm, but he supported the invasion of Iraq and didn't always observe the difference between being provocative and being an arrogant bully.
