Special Interests Run the Feds and the WELS

His Beatitude, Bishop Ski of The CORE Bar and Grill

The parallel between WELS and the Federal Government is fitting. Both institutions are 'led' by soft men who answer more readily to Special Interests than to the interests of their calling. I don't need to elaborate concerning the SI's to whom the government answers, but WELS leaders pay a lot of attention to Thrivent.

Both WELS and the Federal Government draw leaders who hail from educational backgrounds where affiliations with Secret Societies (complete with humiliating hazing rituals) are endemic. The implied threat of mutually assured destruction of reputation is very effective in assuring that inappropriate behavior continues without consequence.
