I'd seen "POAC" before and had heard that you folks were hard-core lunatic leftists, but I never knew where the site was. So I found it today and figured I'd register. I'm a regular at Conservative Underground & Liberty News Forum, and have just launched a website dedicated to exposing and combating extremist activism. I won't mention the name or link it, because I just don't think it's cool to pimp the site that way. I will say for the record we're not just going after leftists, even though the site will have a decidedly conservative slant. I also intend to go after idiots like the godhatesfags morons, abortion clinic bombers, and neo-nazi skinheads freaks.

Oh, and I can't give a short answer for anything.

Thank GOD! I thought the FRC was going to get away with the judicial activism bullshit and their nuclear option. Good thing you plan on exposing them. I hope you expose the activism of the Christian Evangelicals first because we sure could use all that tax exempt money back in the coffers to help pay for war.

Oh, and To POAC!

Sure, I can give you a few!

Earth Liberation Front burning down dealerships that sell SUV's.

Eric Rudolph bombing abortion clinics, and the people who support killing abortion doctors.

godhatesfags.com and others who spread misinformation and pervert the bible to support their hateful agenda against people who differ from them.

Nope, this makes me a person who chooses to see things for himself instead of believing whatever I'm told.

Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

I never argue for the sake of arguing. I present my viewpoints and my reasons for disagreeing with yours in an effort to expose myself and you to different ways of looking at issues. An opinion or belief that hasn't been challenged is a shallow opinion that likely won't stand up to scrutiny.

No big surprise, I'm used to it.

As long as I get treated fairly, I can take the rudeness. And yes, I know exactly how it goes on political forums. I've been playing around on them for almost 10 years now, since my very first forum on InsidetheWeb.

Again, thank you for the welcome! I don't know how often I'll be here, but hopefully my visits will be interesting, enlightening, and above all, FUN.

Nice list! All 3 of those deserve to be held under the microscope.

Good luck in the future. I hope you do well.

I like that. Thanks for the clarification.
Independent thought is a good thing.

We're very tolerant of homosexuals and their choice of lifestyle on this board, and we really get our dander up when someone suggests otherwise. I'll tell you right up front I'm not religious and the bible carries no more weight with me than any other religious guidebook, for which I have absolutely no use whatsoever.

If you can walk your talk, as our esteemed member Sky of Mind says, you'll have a good time here while perhaps learning from us. Whether or not we'll learn from you also remains to be seen.

Welcome.

Here are a couple of quick stories about their activities. I'm surprised you haven't heard any of the stories. Even here in Illinois the news about their activities in California are reported. The very first correspondence I received about my website was from ELF threatening to destroy my website, my home, and me if I launched the site.


Eco-Terrorists' Elusiveness Frustrate Law Enforcement in Pennsylvania

Domestic Terrorism Investigation

Here's a Wikipedia article on ELF:

Earth Liberation Front

ELF is fairly well-known for their acts of eco-terrorism. Spiking trees in order to maim or kill loggers, burning down housing developments, firebombing car dealerships that sell SUV's, etc.

Rudolph was just an example of the type of radical we're wanting to expose. It doesn't matter if abortion doctor killings have fallen off lately, there are still plenty of people advocating violence in the name of stopping abortion. They need to have a light shined on them and their activities.

I'm not sure what your point is here. I specifically said our goal was to expose and counter people who preach hatred of homosexuals, whether with a bible or otherwise. Again, the godhatesfags.com was a reference to the type of radicals we're going after. Whether or not you have any use for the bible is irrelevant to our goals, but your atheism is duly noted.

Any time you're learning is a good time. Hopefully this will be a good learning experience for me. So far the reception has been pretty chilly, with some outright antagonism thrown in. No big deal though, I know I have to prove myself as a rational person, even to irrational people.

Naturally.

Thank you.

Okay so these are your three examples of "extremist activism."
Earth Liberation Front . . . never heard of them.
Burning down car dealerships is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned. That's not activism. That's just crime.

Eric Rudolph committed crimes. Period. He was not an activist. He was just a criminal.

As for Fred Phelps et al, my problem with them is the fact that they fail to recognize that the condition of homosexuality exists independent of individual desires. Most of the gay and lesbian people I know insist that their attraction & behavior are things inborn and essential to them. They are not invented or opted to. There are a few who call themselves queer by choice, but this is a minority. I'm also thoroughly convinced that there is a genetic component in homosexual behavior, hence an inclination to it may be proven to be inborn.
