Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defence, What you Don't Know

[Phil1111 1,192]

The Trump cabinet says much about how Trump thinks. Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defence, is a devoted evangelical. These are the sermons of his minister.

"You’re not going to scare me away from the word Confederate like you just said “Boo!” I would define a neo-Confederate as someone who thinks we are still fighting that war. Instead, I would say we’re fighting in a long war, and that was one battle that we lost."

"When the Confederate States of America surrendered at Appomattox, the last nation of the older order fell. So, because historians like to have set dates on which to hang their hats, we may say the first Christendom died there, in 1865. The American South was the last nation of the first Christendom."

"he believes that Southern slavery was wrong, but that the Confederacy was otherwise “right on all the essential constitutional and cultural issues surrounding the war.”

"He has referred to women he doesn’t like as “small-breasted biddies” and “lumberjack dykes.” He has said: “The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party. A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.”

To simply call him patriarchal is too mild. The body of churches he co-founded, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, includes pastors who believe that the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, should be repealed and replaced by something called “household voting,” where it’s no longer one person, one vote, but one household, one vote."

“One of the reasons why we have such problems with assimilating Muslims and Hindus is that there are so many of them.”..." “So if we had a Christian republic, and a Muslim came to Disneyland with his family, we’d have no problems....You cannot put alien world views together, cheek by jowl, and have peace.”

"Hegseth made that plain this month when he posted his support for Wilson after Wilson reiterated to CNN his support for Christian nationalism. The words Hegseth used — “all of Christ for all of life” — are a common saying in the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches."

Its no wonder that despite all the serious security lapses that Hegseth has made he enjoys Trump's full support. No wonder that he will fulfill every request that Trump makes of the department of defence.
