You mean the rally where the crosses won't be the only things burning for
eternity?
Considering the apparent popularity of charismatic type religious revival
preachers in Ohio (and the wide spread belief in things like 'speaking in
tongues' etc. there), I'm not too surprised.

Good to see your not lost to us. I take anything put out in widespread press
releases by leftist 'public interest' groups with a large swig of salt, lime, and
tequila. Its the only way to stomach much of what they say, and frequently that
doesn't even work.

The phenomenon of white supremacists becoming militant has as much to do with the
actions of the government as it does with their own ignorance and hate. If the
government did not systematically deny people their natural rights as a whole or
based on class or other easy to see superficial differences, then these groups
would not enjoy any support. The divisive labeling that goes on in the press
releases and other statements of liberal/leftist groups is as vicous, as
ignorant, as shallow, and as unconducive to resolving issues as any propaganda
put out by the Aryan Nations. The only difference is that the
mercantilist/socialist controlled media gives the former front page treatment and
full credibility, while laughing at the latter.
