  1. And how many of the “sexually explicit” books did you personally read to determine they should be banapproach.

    BTW IN my opinion, throwing labels around as you did in your post is hardly a good example of a Christan approach. This post is coming from a “dyed in the wool” country conservative.

  2. Such media coverage for a real face to face town hall meeting about nothing but opposing party complaints. If only our 7th District Congressman Andre Carson would meet face to face with his constituents! Carson requires zoom meetings, and only with invited ‘friendly’ attendees, with presubmitted and pre-approved questions. Big difference in representation by our elected folks. At least Beckwith faces his critics, even with his foot in his mouth. Carson needs the DNC narrative on his prompter.

    1. If there were people happy with the job Beckwith was doing, I’m pretty sure they were allowed to show up and comment. I just suspect those people are far and few between.

  3. I recall Thomas Jefferson was involved in the drafting of the Constitution. He was a Deist. He acknowledged God created the earth, but believed God was not involved thereafter. Most of the drafters were Protestants, some were Catholics, though Catholics would not have been allowed to hold office in Virginia at the time (had to be Protestant to vote…). So while the drafters were men who believed in God, they were very careful, with the First Amendment (an amendment made so as to capture the votes of the colonies to approve the Constitution), to ensure the United States separatation of Church and State were imbedded in the founding documents. The separation is not a myth (at least from the passage of the 14th Amendment until the most recent iteration of the US Supreme Court). That separation enabled the country to be formed, and to grow and succeed. And when the 14th Amendment was passed and slowly began to applied to the States and lesser governmental entities, the wall was more firmly established. This is a nation overwhelmingly inhabited by persons who follow Judeo-Christian beliefs, but it is not a Judeo-Christian nation in the mold of Israel being a Jewish nation, or Vatican being Roman Catholic, or Arab states being Islamist.

  4. He is a conspiracy gobbling embarrassment. I’m glad he was uncomfortable. Peddling conspiracies and making up stories about the Constitution doesn’t fare well when you’re talking to an audience that actually has functioning adult brains.

    1. What conspiracies and what stories did he make up regarding the Constitution??? Try reading the 1st Amendment and point out the “separation of church and state”, will you?

  5. Good on Beckwith for having the fortitude to go meet with constituents. Many politicians – see comments elsewhere in this thread – are more inclined to hole up and avoid the people.

  6. Nate, please post the link to your headline and story you ran after Saint Andre’s town hall……

    Beckworth is a religious whack job.
    That said, it’s important to note the positioning and narrative from the “journalists”
    A few years ago when parents were attending school board meetings and stating they wanted their kids to actually attend school, not be forced to wear 3 masks, and not be taught there are 7 genders, they were painted as domestic terrorists. Here the protesters are positioned as hero’s

    Special shout out to the “journalists” for including Amy Garman from a made up group, who states republicans are “outing trans kids”. I have no idea what that means and neither does she. She also rolls out one of my favorite democrat troupes of books that can be delivered to your front door in 24 hours, but are not available at the local elementary school library are “Banned!!”

    Nate, you need to hire Amy immediately. She perfectly represents the culture and values at the IBJ
