-Caveat Lector-
This post is ridiculous.
Christian Reconstructionists certainly exist and Gary North and
Rushdoony are among them.
However, there is no evidence I have seen that the Rutherford Institute
is Reconstructionist. That they defend unpopular Fundamentalists including
Reconstructionists, etc. does not prove they are reconstructionists. Sorry,
but Nazis and Reconstructionists have free speech rights like everyone else
and their rights are routinely trashed by the "politically correct"
tendencies of the Establishment.
Typical left-wing hysteria and guilt by association. Thank God Mellon
Scaife finances folks willing to hold the filthy, stinking Clinton
Administration to the law.

==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
