A sortie, our next foray.

We once again, Sally 4th, December 17th, 2025.

Introduction.

Interacting with the book Disarming Leviathan is the kind of thing that provokes the sort of sensations one might have after pounding down three

hefty pieces of cheesecake. Woof would be what sums it all up. This is why I'm no longer taking

in a chapter at a time. Today's installment will therefore be content with just a modest portion,

pages 159 through 166, but one that is still quite enough. We will touch on three topics. Immigration non-sequiturs,

the divine inspiration of America's founding documents, and the belief of many Christian

nationalists that the Democratic Party is of the devil. That should be sufficient for today.

Immigration observations that in no way follow. Campbell next takes on those Christian nationalists

who believe that immigrants are ruining the country. He knows, in an a priori way, that this could not possibly be the case. I mean, it would be a nice thing to take in a family of refugees, especially if that family were Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus. Quote, I also know that immigrants are often fleeing from harm, just as Jesus family fled to Egypt to find

safety from Herod's murderous threat, disarming Leviathan page 161. And if it would be a nice thing to

take one family in, one holy family in, then how could it possibly be problematic to take 13 million in?

There will be no problems, no friction, no difficulties at all. So the thinking goes, if you want to call it

thinking, the issue is cultural assimilation. You cannot take in refugees in those numbers without simultaneously

taking in all the pathologies that they were fleeing from. It is as though Egypt's immigration

policies resulted in them taking in Joseph, Mary, the baby Jesus, a tenth of the population of

Judea, and a couple of regiments of Herod soldiers. In, Mary, the baby Jesus, a tenth of the population of Judea, and a couple

of regiments of Herod soldiers. In other words, the demented immigration policy solves no

problems, including whatever problems true refugees might have. And then there is the profound

inconsistency and high hypocrisy of Campbell's entire position. First, his heart goes out to those

people who are fleeing from bad situations around the world. Quote, America, like Egypt and Jesus Day, has a lot of
