I WILL NOT RECANT

By Curt Maynard

I received an interesting email a few days ago – it was from Andrew Winkler, webmaster of Ziopedia.org and TheRebel.org and outlined the contents of an email he received last week from some unnamed moron that had equated his website Ziopedia.com with being sympathetic to the ideology of National Socialism, Nazism for those that didn’t know they are one and the same. How typical!

Mr. Winkler used the email to address a very real misconception that is far too prevalent today, especially among certain Christian Evangelists of the alleged “right-wing” variety and left leaning materialists that long ago accepted the idea that tolerating the intolerable is just “the right thing to do,” by noting the fact that often the ideas of others, even those we may disagree with, might have some merit. If you are one of those that automatically, knee jerk fashion, rejects anything and everything that Dr. David Duke has to say, simply because you believe the Jewish medias disinformation on the man, then you too are a moron of the same caliber as the above named fools.

The topic of the cretins email, multiculturalism of course! The unnamed moron felt that because some of the material Winkler posts on his site, my essays included, do not tout the so-called virtues of multiculturalism and actually [gasp] critique some of its more dubious tenets, that Winkler himself must be a [gasp] Nazi! Winkler used the critical email to point out something that “should be obvious to anyone with the capacity to think,” as my friend Alfio Faro likes to say and that is that criticism does not equate to hate. Personally I don’t like broccoli; but I don’t hate it. I don’t want to deprive those that like broccoli from obtaining it when they want it, I don’t want to gas and/or throw broccoli spears by the millions into crematorium – I just don’t like the flavor.

Election 2006: How to Detect Fraud

By Jeff Davis
Noveber 6, 2006

There’s been a flurry of news articles in the last two weeks, which have left many Americans thoroughly confused. Less than two weeks ago, opinion polls came out showing Democrats with a crushing double-digit lead. Resentment over the Iraq War and Bush’s “Stay the Course” policy was at an all time high. The Mark Foley Gay sex scandal and the apparent cover-up by high ranking Republicans didn’t help either. Despite all this, the neocons have been digging in their heels and insisting that they can still hold both the House and the Senate. A few recent headlines are now claiming that the Republicans are “closing the gap” and may hold onto one or both houses. Is this merely a ploy to keep people watching the election coverage or is there anything to this?

The unfortunate part of the 2006 election is that most Americans support Republican issues such as reducing taxes, traditional moral values and limited government while the neocons who control the GOP don’t. The neocons have hijacked the Republican Party, shredded the Constitution at an alarming rate, passed a bill approving torture and they plan to keep us in Iraq forever. The neocons have alienated moderate voters and disgusted traditional conservatives to the point, where many of them will stay home on election day or vote for a third party. The neocons are certain to cheat in the 2006 election. The big question is how much cheating can the neocons get away with? A number of states have added paper trails to their electronic voting machines since 2004, but it’s not clear how much fraud is still possible.

A New Concept: Principled Non-Voters

I’M NOT GOING TO VOTE in the coming election, but I’m not an “apathetic voter.” I’ve become a principled non-voter. I grew up in a family in which everyone voted in every election. I registered as soon as I was able to and never missed an election. But, as a White citizen I am no longer represented.

As recently as the last presidential election I voted Republican, thinking that George W. Bush, with the help of a Republican-controlled Congress, could at least be entrusted with such basic tasks as protecting our national borders and beating back affirmative action. And I didn’t think I was asking for much. Not only has he shown no interest in addressing such matters, he has insulted me with such outrages as amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, and billions of dollars to fight AIDS in Africa.

I’m sure Bush calculated that he could act against my interests, in pursuit of some perceived political gain, and still take my next vote for granted. He’ll get nothing from me. But his treachery has served a purpose: It is now clear that we have lost control of our own institutions, and no one in government intends to protect our interests. Of course for things to have degenerated to this point conservatives had to have been inept and uncommitted for decades. Bush was simply the last straw for me. (more…)
