Second American Revolution: Rousas John Rushdoony (3 of 9)

I met him and have read his Chalcedon Report for over 20 years. I purchased the "Roots of Reconstruction" a compilation of all his Articles in Chalcedon Report. I have heard him preach in person and on audio tape for hundreds of hours. He is not scary. A more gentle man is unimaginable, but the sword he weilds is one of umcompromising truth.

He's not scary to me—in fact I think I support his views. He's got an interesting way of talking too; very controlled. I like how he says "Hegelian" at 2:11 and how he showed his human side by smiling and chuckling at 1:18.

Mk00040- Then I'm pretty sure you are a horrible judge of character because his position/views are insane and he seems like he's probably a sociopath. And that chuckle seemed strange and forced and unhumanlike.

Scary?! He's like the ultimate grandpa. He believes in the self government of people and families, not in the totalitarian state which has always been the persecutor throughout history. But seriously though, to step to Rushdoony is like challenging the sun with a bucket of water.

he has some serious knowledge though, but i agree, he is scary

This guy reminds of an Ayatullah Khomenei. A threat to freedom. A medieval man who thinks there is only one truth revealed. The same kind of people who sought to imprison, persecute and murder any who did not conform to their truths, like the earth being the center of the universe and other foolishness.
