“As a young man I applied to be a Rhodes Scholar twice and was turned down both times. Just think how different my life would have been if I’d been accepted. ‬I’m sure I never would have become an astronaut much less walked on the moon. Sometimes your greatest disappointments or failures lead to your greatest success. So just remember, failure is always an option.”

    • “…too many court prophets…”
    • Dr. Robert A. J. Gagnon Responds to Christianity Today
      • “In a nice little sleight of hand Timothy refers to Trump’s “ugly and demeaning statements at people of color,” intimating that the attack is on their “color” rather than on their exaggerated critiques of America and on their own inverse racism. There’s a big difference between attacking individuals who are persons of color and attacking the color itself. Rather than clarify the distinction Timothy writes in such a way as to obscure that distinction. He refers to Trump’s “attacks on ‘them,’” identifying “them” as all people of color, which is a misrepresentation of the content of the tweet. Indeed, Timothy never even attempts an argument. He simply insinuates that the remarks are attacks on race and states that “people of color” are “suffering unjustly” (!) from Trump’s tweet. This is irresponsible journalism.”

    • “Now the idea has taken hold that the charge of racism doesn’t derive from thoughts and actions, from what people say and do, but from who they are. If you are white that accident of birth left you racist, and there’s nothing you can do about it. You’ve got white privilege. You are unconsciously favored, and unconsciously assign disfavor. Either way you’re guilty. No action or word can turn this around.”
