Almost all Lutheran blogs are useless. They are like bread without salt, clouds without rain.
The cause was explained in a political column about Inside-the-Beltway conservatives in Washington DC. The think-tank conservatives, talking heads on many TV news shows, will not touch certain topics, such as Obama's unusual birth. If they brought up those issues, they would not be invited to the right cocktail parties, the TV discussions, the hoity-toity presentations.
Thus the conservatives hedge themselves in and serve the Left - by flashing their toothless gums, growling softly, and apologizing.
In Missouri and WELS, the soi-disant conservatives are guardians of Universal Objective Justification. In the LCMS, check out Issues, Etc, LutherQuest (sic), and fulminations of Paul McCain, MDiv.
In WELS, the so-called Intrepids choked off discussion on justification by faith while displaying their unending fascination with UOJ. Yes, they are happy to discuss their UOJ opinions. Jay Webber, MDiv, is delighted to tell everyone about his weighty responsibilities, neglecting to mention his financial relationship with Floyd Luther Stolzenburg, the Arnold Schwarzenegger of Lutherdom. Arnie let his baby live - big difference.
In the ELS and WELS, no one is allowed to mention what Marvin Schwan was really like. Nor do they admit to Stolzenburg. They are quick to deny Father Floyd, although he used to brag about his ELS mission projects on his Masonic church websty.
"The church has not wavered from its theology: The Bible is the inerrant word of God, and everything in it is to be taken literally. Stolzenburg's theology is uncompromising. 'What is written in the Bible stands.'"

I saw Shep and Webber installed at an ELS meeting, yet Pope John the Malefactor said to me, "Thoughts of Faith is not ELS." He even said, "Kovaciny is not ELS," although the official yearbook of the Little Sect showed his name, before he voluntarily walked the plank.
The blatant lying means, in effect, "We do not discuss these things." The wolves and hirelings understand this.
