I posted these references because I believe it important for us to be aware of the
motivations and ideologies of those who oppose us, in order to be able to counter them
effectively. It is for this same reason that I have forced myself to read Falwell's
"Listen, America", Schaffer's "The Battle for the Mind", Bray's "A Time to Kill" and
MacDonald's (actually Pierce's) "The Turner Diaries." You'd better believe that
they're reading us. I deeply resent your insinuendo that I might be making this info
available to the members on this list to serve racist or fascist ends (BTW, I live in
sunny Florida). Is there some sinister ulterior motive for your desire to aid and
abet the suppression of this damning doctrinal info, to prevent our gaining knowledge
of the seamy underbellies of those with which we disagree, and thusly to conceal their
sick weaknesses from us? No? I didn't think so. Now, grant me the same
consideration. We're all adults here; we can handle it (and we must!
!
).
