Aug 19, 2014: Freethought Blogs: Bradlee Dean Takes Bold Stance Against Reason
Wingnut extraordinaire Bradlee Dean has come out boldly against the use of reason because it’s the enemy of faith. Which is true, of course, but it’s kind of refreshing to hear someone just blurt out that thinking is bad. The title of the column is “Reason: Faith’s Greatest Enemy.” 
Feb 21, 2014: Bluestem Prairie: Trolling in Memphis: Bradlee Dean tweets for attention at MLK Jr assassination site
We haven't written much about Annandale toxic metal preacher Bradlee Dean much recently because he's been carrying about going to California to preach the Gospel Of Bradlee to "Rock Stars." 
ON THE RECORD: Feb 2, 2014: Bluestem Prairie comes down hard on an article from Bradlee Dean posted at WND: "Front paged at WND: Bradlee Dean declares Justin Bieber a "real legislator" with model bill for a minor" The author is unidentified, though the blog is is owned and edited by Sally Jo Sorensen, so my assumption is that it is the same, But, the author makes their position about dean right away: "It's been a while since we checked in with Annandale MN's toxic Christian metal rocker Bradlee Dean, fresh off a tour of Tea Party clubs in California. " Dean' s message, in summary, was: "What is little Justin’s message? His message is do as I do! Go and hang out at strip clubs with your daddy, drink and drive if you want to, disrespect authorities, smoke dope (actually the dope smokes you), fornicate (sex before marriage), and in turn, I ask, what do those who follow little Justin do? ." In response, Bluestem says they "must have missed this legislative agenda amid the calls to deport Bieber back to his native Canada." Bluestem suggests that Dean misses the message: "Dean seems to have gotten Bieber's appeal bassackward. Huffington Post reports on Wednesday Most Americans Ready To Deport Justin Bieber (If He's Convicted)." Personally, I think they are both right, and both speaking from their own political and/or bias perspective. And I dont say that to suggest it's a bad thing but a human thing. Dean views it from hard right and sees it as the result of a culrural phenomenon and likely bases it on the extreme fascination by youth to Bieber. Bieber has had a large following and fan base for several years. Bluestem views it from a hard left position and what might be an already prejudged dislike for Dean. Bluestem bases it on the vitriol tossed against Bieber in pop media and the relatively quick response by people in support of deporting Bieber via a petition. I don't think either argument wins in shaping the destiny of Justin Bieber. Unless another show drops on him I dont think he is losing or winning at this point. At this point, with what he has done so far musically, I think he is just a fad that will pass.

Dec 21, 2012: Media Matters: WND Columnist Alleges Sandy Hook Shooting Was Staged
In an outlandish column for WorldNetDaily, Bradlee Dean suggests that the mass shooting last week in Newtown, Connecticut, was staged in order to aid the passage of the UN Arms Trade Treaty and gun control legislation, comparing the administration's purported actions to that of the Nazis setting the Reichstag Fire.

One confirmed speaker, however, is not like all the others: Bradlee Dean is a Minnesota radio host, anti-gay activist, and drummer for the band Junkyard Prophet, voted "the second-best unsigned band in the nation" in 1996 by Heaven's Metal magazine.

You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International (YCRBYCHI) is a United States Christian youth ministry that holds assemblies, including music concerts and discussions with students, in public schools. Founded by Bradlee Dean in 2008, the organization is based in Annandale, Minnesota. YCRBYCHI's mission statement is: "To reshape America by re-directing the current and future generations both morally and spiritually through education, media, and the Judeo-Christian values found in our U.S. Constitution." The ministry has received testimonials from school officials and students "that praise the positive impact the assemblies had by stressing the importance of good choices and using a band to grab attention", but has also drawn controversy for using assemblies for religious purposes, misleading school administrators about the nature of the program, and proselytizing its views on abortion and homosexuality. The Southern Poverty Law Center designated the organization as an anti-gay hate group in March 2012. In September 2013, the You Can Run headquarters building in Annandale was put up for rent and there were reports of departures of the ministry's staff and the disbanding of its street teams
