One of the weirdest things about Oregon politics is the repeated attempts of Neo-Nazis to infiltrate the Republican Party and the Libertarian Pary and the repeated attempts of the Neo-Nazis to run candidates under the banners of the Oregon Republican and Libertarian Parties.
So far Senator Gordon Smith has been quite successful in keeping the Neo-Nazis from gaining control of the Oregon Republican Party. But he can always use help from those who care about the party.
The following is a reminder to the folks in Washington County, Oregon:
U.S. white supremacists bend meanings in the Bible to open doors that would otherwise stay closed to their hate and violence, say expertsIn the early '90s, when Floyd Cochran was a lay minister in the white supremacist, Christian Identity church, he noticed something: "If I walked into a community dressed as a Nazi, a wall would go up," he said. "Pull out a Bible, the wall would come down."
Cochran, who left Christian Identity in 1992, remembers how friends outside white supremacist circles used to say, " `Floyd's not that bad. He goes to church on Sundays.' Meanwhile, I was learning that Jews are the children of Satan and need to be wiped out."
While most clerics preach "love thy neighbor," Christian Identity interprets the book of Genesis to mean that Jews are descended from Satan and has called for their extermination. The Ku Klux Klan has long taught that black people are the "beasts of the field" described in the Old Testament. A handful of fundamentalist churches -- aiming to impose Old Testament law at its harshest in the United States -- preach that homosexuals deserve death.

It's still a mystery to me why some of my relatives (John McClelland Hays, Neta Hays and Chris Andrea Hays) would want to be members of a Neo-Nazi group. It's still a mystery to me how Neo-Nazis got a Navy JAG officer to forge my signature to some fraudulent documents. It's still a mystery to me how Neo-Nazis got Dr. Ron Turco to do a false diagnosis.
NOTE: I've got better things to do than erase the childish, immature, psychotic, obscene comments from looney Roger Weidner and his gang of illiterate morons, so just put your opinions at the Johnhays.net Forum.
