Pete Hegseth

Antioch Declaration Proved Irrelevant In Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing

The Pete Hegseth confirmation hearings for Secretary of Defense is a major test of Donald Trump’s political strength in Washington, as this nomination is more contentious than others. With messy background and an inconoclastic attitude towards the current generals and wokeness, Hegseth is a lightning rod of controversy, even among some Republicans. Moreover, he is a professing Christian in a CREC church who is in good standing. The hearing resulted in many memes, but what it did not result in was a vindication of Doug Wilson.

According to Doug Wilson, the Antioch Declaration was necessary in order to stave off accusations of antisemitism against Hegseth, so that a Christian could attain a high cabinet position in the Second Trump Administration.

So why is this a big deal to you then?

Do not think I am putting any ideas in the heads of the leftists here, because anybody who has thought about this for more than five minutes will already have thought of it. Let me give you the most obvious example, but there will be others also. Pete Hegseth has been nominated to be the next Secretary of Defense, a wonderful pick. He is an advocate of classical Christian education, an opponent of women in combat roles, and to top it all off he is a member of one of our CREC churches. He was already going to be attacked as a white nationalist, far right extremist, a theo-fascist, and all the rest of their tired drill. That was already going to happen. He is already being attacked as being part of our circles, and as someone who has been influenced by little old me.

Doug Wilson explicitly gives Pete Hegseth as a reason for his woke Antioch Declaration, as Wilson weaponized liberal cancel rhetoric against those to his right.

If Hegseth is confirmed, then thank the Lord. He will have turned his head at the last minute, like Trump did at Butler. In short, he can point to all the work we have done, the kind of work which at the time was hooted at as unnecessary posturing. We saw the need for this kind of thing years ago, and it is even more necessary now. Hence the Declaration.

If Hegseth is not confirmed, and this nonsense is any part of the controversy, I would say that all the revisionist chumps should go find a mirror, and thank themselves. And then step back about five paces, and take a bow.

But in the end, Doug Wilson and the CREC have thus far been irrelevant in the tumult of Hegseth’s confirmation hearings. This was predictable as this is a snuffed-out flame compared to the issue of women in combat or losing generals being demoted.

As the Antioch Declaration was an embarrassing failure, was invoking Pete Hegseth to make the church woke regarding Jews an act of hubris or false pretense?

  1. One thing though, Did I miss hear it, or did Pete not say he was okay with women in combat, if they pass the same tests as men?

  2. As the authors of the so-called “Antioch Declaration” openly admit, the entire purpose of the “Antioch Declaration” is to try to manipulate, deceive, and gaslight Christians into being pro-jewish, by falsely portraying “anti-semitism” as “un-Christian”.

    Doug Wilson, Joe Boot, etc have the nerve to call their pro-jewish drivel “the Antioch Declaration” in a manipulative attempt to claim ownership of Christianity and re-define “Christian” as “somebody who supports jews.”

    Creepy Doug Wilson (who looks like a pedophile), Joe Boot, and the other authors of the so-called “Antioch Declaration” are traitors and lying false teachers.

    Real Christians should AVOID these lying, grifting charlatans.

  3. I think that that protecting Pete was a made up excuse. I think Doug and company just wanted to be the only conservative church voice and not Joel.

  4. Doug will just claim it wasn’t brought up at the hearing because it worked.
