In October of 2019, when Baby Peachy had something like five measly followers and was not yet the internet micro celebrity she is today, I sent an essay to my friend Matt Peterson at The American Mind.
To my delight, he decided to publish it.
That early essay, which I titled “And You Call Yourself a Christian,” was the very first thing I wrote as Peachy Keenan.
I remembered this week that I’d written it because of Tucker Carlson. Earlier that day, I’d watched a segment on Fox where Longhouse shield maiden Kristen Powers berated Tucker about immigration. How could he call himself a Christian and be against open borders, she scolded. How dare he claim to be a good person and yet want to stop illegal immigration?
Here is the exchange from that segment:
CARLSON: So I have a moral obligation to share my earnings—
POWERS: Yes.
CARLSON: —and my country with people I’ve never met because they are suffering?
POWERS: Are you a Christian?
CARLSON: I am absolutely a Christian.
PO…
