Why do paleoconservatives care what this man has to say? He has little of value to add to the debate besides what he’s garnered from the likes of hysterical misinformers like Alex Blowhorn Jones and Jesse The Body Ventura. Why Peter Brimelow over at VDARE chooses to publish his often silly ramblings is beyond me but I think it only serves to discredit a just cause and paint it as one where paranoids and crackpots assemble. He’s even stated that he’s a “premillenial. Dispensationalist”, which I take to mean that he has the same fairy tale view of Israel or excuse me Zion, that the wackos over at World Net Daily have.

Andrew, I’m not sure what the point of this rant is. Chuck Baldwin’s column’s are quite friendly to paleoism. While I might quible with some of his choice of rhetoric, he generally ends up in the right place policy wise. Much more so than almost any other figure I can think of.
Of course Chuck Baldwin is a premillenial dispensationalist. He is a “fundamentalist” independent Baptist (FIB) preacher, who was trained at a FIB seminary. FIB’s are virtually premil dispensationalists by definition. There has been some trending away from that and de-emphasizing of it as a distinguishing feature recently, but the vast majority of FIB’s are premil dispensationalists as are most (probably) conservative evangelicals whether they know it or not.
Premil Dispensationalism is either a good or a bad interpretation of Scripture, but that is an entirely theological issue. It isn’t bad theology because “wackos” at World Net Daily believe it. Premil Dispensationalism certainly has its theological detractors, but it is a well recognized theological opinion that is held by millions of sincere Bible believing Christians.
On policy, Chuck Baldwin is a Ron Paul style non-interventionist, and he does not support basing America’s foreign policy on what is good for Israel so I’m not sure why you would care so much whether he supports a certain theological interpretation that you seem to not know much about other than you have made it out to be a boogie man. You seem to have an axe to grind.

I guess he’s alright if you think blue-helmeted UN shock troops are going to knock down your door and take your guns under the command of the Trilateral Commission. But if that’s the case a more appropriate venue for his ramblings might be the annual John Birch Society convention at the Sioux Falls Best Western conference center. To hold this simpleton up as an approved mouthpiece for paleo values, particularly when we have so few, is an embarrassment. Is this as good as we have? Does he really deserve all the attention? And as a “premil disp.”, I’m assuming he believes that Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. If that’s the case then you must consider to what lengths his religious views would have America’s foreign policy wedded to the “Holy Land”. I would question the degree of his ” non-interventionism” stance if his pronounced religious views did indeed include this nonsense.
