“George Orwell, call your office.”

If you want to read an indictment of American academia, as if you needed one, then I recommend Plagiarism and the Culture War. In it, Theodore Pappas documents the wholesale plagiarism committed by Martin Luther King, Jr. in his doctoral work, not to mention the varied and wondrous contortions of the academic establishment as they sought to studiously ignore this indisputable fact. Of course, this particular instance is not the sum and substance of modern academic corruption, but it does provide a wonderful example of how it all works. If you are in any doubt about how advanced our public corruption is, just write a letter to your local paper on how MLK was a plagiarist, and see what happens. Suddenly, mirabile dictu, people like you who believe that a man should be judged by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin will be branded . . . racists. George Orwell, call your office.

  2. Wilson should know a lot about Orwell considering how he runs the kirk.

  3. The hole “Pastor” Wilson has dug for himself just keeps getting deeper and deeper……”Just write a reply to Blog and Mablog on how Doug Wilson is a plagiarist, and see what happens. Suddenly, you will be branded….an intolerista. George Orwell, call your office.”

  5. It’s quite embarrassing for Doug, although Emperor Wilson doesn’t seem to realize he’s parading through social media exposed, without wearing one shred of clothing. Many children, so to speak, are calling from the crowd: “The pastor of the Kirk is naked” but only those who have eyes to see can see.

  6. Oh, dear. Doug is so one with the red herring that I fear he’ll be spawning soon — releasing millions of verbs, hoping desperately to fertilize a single noun.

    1. It looks like DW isn’t the only wordsmith around town. That’s really funny, I nearly spit my coffee on the screen.
