Either mine's not working, or he's found a way around the user agent switcher. I'm running the latest version, I set it to IE, and jacklewis.net still kicks me to the "Why you are an evil commiefaggot for using Firefox" page.

Oh, it gets better... have a read of the discussion on this page: http://jacklewis.net/weblog/archives/2007/08/firef ox_is_now.php when it comes back up. You'll enjoy Mr Carlton's insistence that :
- W3C standards don't matter, except when pointing out which bits Firefox fails to satisfy
- Firefox is broken because it doesn't support an IE-only DHTML extension
- Two years ago IE6 was technically more advanced than Firefox
- Firefox is the only browser available on Linux
- Conqueror(sic) is a common browser choice on Windows
- Anyone not knowing these things is less capable a web developer than he is
It'd be hilarious but for the fact that I think he believes it.

I'm using Safari and I get the block message too (when I go to http://www.jacklewis.net./ I had to dust off a copy of IE to get it to show up.

About: "Jack Lewis" a.k.a. Danny Carlton

"Jack Lewis" is a pseudonym. When I first began using the internet I found out that there were a lot of crazy people out there and wanted some anonymity. The name served it's purpose, but eventually people began to know me by that name alone. When I started setting up my own sites, I got JackLewis.net.

My background goes all over the place. I have a Bachelor degree in Broadcasting from John Brown University. I worked for a while in television as studio crew, then as a producer for a television ministry, and years later as a radio announcer at a local Christian station. Broadcasting jobs seemed too scarce so I picked up an Associate degree in Accounting, and another in Business Administration, but by the time I finished that, God called me to Seminary.

I attended South Western Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth for a year and a half, and left to get married. I eventually wound up working as an optician. Because we have two children with a rare congenital disorder, health insurance was hard to come by, so when a job opportunity to work for a national company with excellent insurance came along, I applied, but was turned down. My wife then applied and was accepted. So since then I've been a stay-at-home dad, homeschooling our four kids, and working on various projects on the internet.

In these past few years I've written a novel, and co-wrote the autobiography of a friend who runs an international ministry. I've also developed numerous sites like SpelChek.com, BytheFirePlace.com, phpBible.org, radioJesus.com and LookListenLearn.org. I also built and manage the most active site for the congenital condition my children have, helping hundreds of people world-wide communicate with others dealing with the same problems and worries.

While I abandoned any real effort at anonymity several years ago, I kept the pseudonym, because so many people knew me by that name. My dream is to write novels for a living. This blog is a means to that end. Besides giving me the opportunity to hone my writing skills, as it grows, my hope is to build a "following" of people who like my writing, therefore an initial target audience for whenever I can get published.

http://jacklewis.net/weblog/ does it. No idea who he is.

What I find amusing and disturbing is how Google accepts any crazy left-wing website for its Google News page (see Democratic Underground), but often refuses conservative sites like LGF and Powerline for various bizarre reasons (for instance, Google claims the sites they list in Google News must have a staff of more than one person...yet they list several left-wing websites that are one-person blogs). See here and here.

They also refused gun ads in their results, but allowed all those phoney Internet pharmacies to advertise, where any kid wanting to get doped up could get some shipped in the mail.

Just saying. If you want more information, see here. To be perfectly fair, there are plenty of sites claiming Google News is conservative-biased. You can make up your own mind.

Regarding the Treaty of Tripoli, perhaps you might want to study a more scholarly source. (You will want to read the whole thing and pay particular attention to the issues around "Article XI.")

Regarding the beliefs of Founders of the United States, and how they were all Deists, I think the matter is more complex than you acknowledge.
